You know what i love?

[Puglover1]

Oh yeah, the taste too. Blech, it lasts and lasts and lasts.

Waxy monkey tree frogs have opposable thumbs on all four hands.

Stevia is derived from natural ingredients. I can't stand saccharin or aspartame. They don't work good in baking anyway. But I don't use the Stevia at full recommended levels because of the after taste.

[Ckbrew]

Aspartame gives me bad headaches. Ask to read the label before you take anything. You're not an asshole for standing up for yourself.

If you're Jonesing and innovative a device can roll one with one good hand, trust me. I have a paper with oil on it from my concentrate device, and a bud of Mag Landrace ready to roll one soon. It's so miserable here today I don't feel like driving to the dispo just for a gram of wax, as much as I want some.

Fake sugar = migraines, for me. CT drink I take in water not Crystal Light. Last CT I inquired about fake sugar, tech said 'there's no sugar in it" Well, in the fine print there were two 'fakes'. I wanted her to know for other migraineurs, now I'm the asshole.

LOL good 1 PRIMO hey 3Berries to me smoking a homegrown fresh bud joint a big fatty makes me so happy and i love the stink.

[3Berries]

It's been a long time since I smoked any rolled reefer.

[PRIMO]

Opposable thumbs. Can't roll a joint without em.

[3Berries]

What I do when looking at processed foods is the carb percent per serving. I limit to 4% and usually 3% or under.

WalMart dark chocolate chips is a great food.

[3Berries]

Stevia is pretty good though I only use it at 1/4 the rate they recommend (1:1). It can take the heat of baking. But it has an after taste and it's similar to cloves. The original pie recipe has some cloves added.

Puglover1 I can't live without erythritol as my sweetener of choice: it makes everything easier.

[Puglover1]

I have a suspect gallbladder and pancreas issues from a one-in-a-million rare disease, fats are very iffy. I make homemade mango sorbet while Jonesing for real ice cream. Otherwise keto would be good for me, sucks.

Going2fast Excellent summary, 3Berries Yeah, basically keto eliminates all starchy carbs from food choices, as well as all processed/preserved/packaged/enveloped in plastic food, and sugar of course. So berries are ok, but other fruits are too high in sugar content. And like 3Berries says, the body starts to burn fat cuz there are no carb supplies.

I have been doing around 30 grams of carb a day for over two years and I have never felt better in my life. I bake cakes and brownies with almond flour, I make whole cream ice cream, I use tons of butter to cook/bake with, I eat a lot of eggs and chicken and veggies, avoiding corn, rice, potato (the starchy veggies). I learned that the healthy fats keep you feeling nourished and full, while sugar is a monkey on one's back screaming for more more more. With a rebel yell.

One of my former students who's a pulmonologist in Austin, TX told me that studies demonstrated that a keto diet created more emotional stability in bipolar and schizophrenic people, and I totally believe it: nothing will make you crazier than sugar. Well, speed maybe. I feel better now than I did 10 years ago. Pretty fkn cool in my book. It has given me tons of energy and eliminated so many aches and pains, inflammation. My mind is sharper, stronger.

Is Morton the pumpkinfest town? Begins with an M, I don't think it's Metamora. Other than fake sugar that recipe sounds really good. I usually eat the filling and leave most of the crust.
