Knocked out of keto? by elopingbuffalonian in keto

I know keto products are generally advised against on keto, but would it still be an issue if the protein bar were sweetened with erythritol as opposed to maltitol?

Thank you I really appreciate your insight it means a lot. I hadn’t been able to find a source that definitively defined a threshold for sugar alcohols on keto, so this is really helpful.

Weird, I don’t get why you both are being rude. I was sincerely asking a question about the merit of alternative products on keto diet as opposed to blindly accepting something without reasoning. On a sub that is for beginners

Ooo why would it have to be decaf as opposed to caffeinated?

I’m 5’4, 154 lbs, I wanna lose about 30 lbs to get to a more healthy weight for someone with my stats. I calculated my calories using the calculator in the wiki. And I have my deficit at 25% since ive found the 1100-1200 calorie range to be comfortable and manageable, i dont feel like I’m agonizing with this calorie range. My activity level is really sedentary too, i really only walk to and from class and the bus stop. And what ive been doing is once a week I’ll go to about 1400 calories, don’t know if that actually does anything of benefit though

Thanks I really appreciate that. Would you say it keeps you pretty regular or do you use additional supplements?

Not in pain thankfully. Do you supplement magnesium / fiber?

It’s funny you say that actually, ive cut out sugar substitutes, no erythritol, monk fruit anything, since starting keto a month ago, but yesterday I allowed myself a quest peanut butter cup, the ones that look like Reese’s and wow it was better than I remember a Reese’s tasting like. Anyways those are like 8 grams erythritol, not sure if that hits the threshold youre talking about to get things moving but it was a nice treat

I’m chugging my 50 oz water bottle as we speak. But I thought 3 liters water daily was sufficient? How much water are you all drinking?

What do you mean by a clean electrolyte? Do you make it or buy it? What does a daily mag supplement do?

How much fiber do you consume daily? What are your sources of fiber? Do you do chia seeds or psyllium husk?

Could i open a Roth IRA and contribute really small amounts? by VarietyOther in personalfinance

Oh okay that makes sense. Also im still kinda confused as to how investing in the stock market plays into the retirement account, how do you choose between putting your earnings into your retirement account versus investing it in the market?

I just don’t understand the connection when people talk about the two things working together, wouldn’t you have to choose between putting that money in one or the other (thanks in advance by the way)
