Truvia sweetener a powerful pesticide

scientists shocked as fruit flies die in less than a week from eating GMO-derived erythritolTruvia sweetener is made from about 99.5% erythritol (a sugar alcohol), and 0.5% rebiana, an extract from the stevia plant (but not at all the same thing as stevia). A shocking new study published in the journal PLOS ONE (1) has found that Truvia, an alternative sweetener manufactured by food giant Cargill, is a potent insecticide that kills fruit flies which consume it.                                                                                                                             The study is titled, Erythritol, a Non-Nutritive Sugar Alcohol Sweetener and the Main Component of Truvia, Is a Palatable Ingested Insecticide.                                                                                               The study found that while fruit flies normally live between 39 and 51 days, those that ate the Truvia ingredient erythritol died in less than a week.

Erythritol made from yeast fed genetically modified corn derivatives

Erythritol is often indirectly derived from genetically modified corn, by the way. Cargill was forced to settle a class action lawsuit last year (2) for labeling Truvia “natural” when it’s actually made from a fermentation process whereby yeast are fed GM corn maltodextrin.                                        

Truvia a really amazing insecticide

This story on Truvia’s insecticidal properties has really caught the attention of the public. Even CBS News (3), a mainstream media outlet that rarely covers the dangers of food additives, covered this story, reporting:

Erythritol, the main component of the sweetener truvia, has a new, unexpected application — it may be used as an insecticide. …Researchers found that fruit flies fed with food that included erythritol or the erythritol-containing sweetener Truvia died much sooner than flies fed with food containing other types of sweeteners. http://livingtraditionally.com/truvia-sweetener-powerful-pesticide-scientists-shocked-fruit-flies-die-less-week-eating-gmo-derived-erythritol-1/

The worst low carb support group on facebook is...

Atkins Diet - Low Carb  POSITIVE Support Group. I cannot believe that there are so many people in this group that put others down for being overweight . today one of the users posted a picture of three girls that were a bit overweight and then several of them attacked her and were acting like kids by making bad comments when they were all bigger in size than them. The admins did nothing and this picture was there over 24 hours and i know of three people that reported it. Why start a support group to just attack people? so so wrong : ( and this was not the first time i had seen this kind of behavior in this group KARMA WILL GET YOU

Kerrygold butter is too expensive

Most people who eat low carb are pushing this Kerrygold butter like it's some kind of magic butter that you have to eat or this won't work :(  I am telling you right now that is bullshit yes it's organic and it don't taste much different from others I have had before but the price will knock you on your arse . It cost way too much to keep eating this brand and trying to stay on any kind of budget. This brand cost 4 to 5 dollars versus other brands like Aldis which you can always buy well under 3 dollars. I can usually go there and pay $2.20  and it is awesome. or I can buy the hwc for $1.89 and make my own fast. Please don't let others fool you in thinking you have to buy this brand or you won't lose weight cause I have been seeing a lot of this around facebook which is so far from the truth.

tips on saving money on meats (eating low carb) or regular

First thing i do when i go shopping and i get to the meat isle is look for the discounted meats they put out . or the ones with special coupons for 2 dollars off the price.,stores like Aldis and Walmart are good for doing this and most with knock them down to half price the day of expiration :)  most stores now i go yo have the fully cooked roaster chickens and you can usually purchase them for 5 bucks i can get 2 meals from one of them and sometimes 3 which even with 2 that's 250 per meal . Another thing i like to do is buy pork sausage or the Italian sausage in bulk and package it up in one or two pound packages and use it like you would hamburger you can make anything just like you would but way cheaper and it adds a nice flavor to your food. also if you like salmon patties you can buy cans of them at the store dirt cheap and make patties. they are so delicious and healthy for you and for a family of two or three one can for 2 dollars will feed them : )    if you have any great tips please comment them down below : )

Is it safe to do low-carb when your pregnant?

Fat and protein are critical to your growing baby, but they do not provide the glucose, fiber, and Folic acid found in carbohydrates. Folic acid is a B-vitamin found in fruits, vegetables, cereals, breads, pastas, and rice. The Center of disease control (CDC) recommends that all women of childbearing age get 400 micrograms of Folic acid daily. Pregnant women should double this to 800 micrograms daily. Insufficient amounts of folic acid can result in serious birth defects .Foods that are rich in folic acid include dark, leafy green vegetables like collard greens, kale, broccoli, and asparagus. Papayas, strawberries, oranges, lentils, and chickpeas are also great choices.

Unfortunately, only 30 percent of American women get the recommended daily allowance of folic acid through food, which is why doctors strongly recommend a daily supplement of folic acid for pregnant women.

Ketone strips, what are they and are they worth it?

 it’s a small test strip and looks like this:

 It comes in a small bottle that usually contains 50-100 strips depending on the type you choose. It’s very thin and on one end if it there’s a small square of paper (this is the end you dip in the urine). If there are ketones in your urine the little paper will change color. The darker it is (light pink up to a purple color) the more ketones are in your urine. On the bottle there’s a picture you compare the color of the paper to. Follow the instructions on the bottle when you dip the stick in the urine. Usually you should only dip for 1 second and shake of the excess urine. Again follow the instructions to see for how long you have to wait until you can read the results. It shouldn’t be long, probably 30-60 seconds.Compare the color of the stick to the color on the bottle. Any shade of pink is usually a positive result.  You dom't have to be the darkest shade of pink /purple to be in ketosis. so many rumors on this and a lot of people getting discouraged using these strips. I.m.o DON'T bother using them cause you cant force your body into ketosis it will get there when it gets there, just keep eating low carb and enjoy your life and new health. To me these are just a extra added expense and headache. save the money for new clothes :)  Just my opinion and others i have talked to these are a fad and not worth it .

Which is better to reduce carbs gradually, or all at once?

It has been shown that people are more able to make permanent changes if those changes are small. Then, when the new habit has been formed,  Another reason to avoid eliminating too much carbohydrate at once is that some not so good symptoms can occur in the first few weeks  as the body is adjusting to using fat for energy rather than carbohydrate. You usually experience what is known as (keto flu) or carb sickness ) which will last a few days in most cases .(I have more info on this in other blog' what is keto flu')                                     The approach favored by popular diet books featuring low-carb approaches such as Atkins and south beach diets is to reduce carbohydrate a lot at the beginning, and then gradually raise the amount of carb until negative effects occur, such as: weight loss slows, blood glucose control lessens, blood pressure rises, cravings return, etc. The main negative of this are that there is a large change in eating to get used to all at once. 

Low carb snacks to eat on the go

1- Peanut butter and celery . Two stalks of celery topped with 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter  has only 8 grams of carbohydrates (3 of which are fiber)  You can also make homemade ,I have found very low carb peanuts. (I have recipe on my you tube blonde4fire )                                                                                                                                                                                                         2-One cup of cottage cheese with chia seeds  is an extremely filling snack and also provides extra fiber. (use a small storage container and you are good to go)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       3 -  Walnuts- They have less carbs than  pistachios, and cashews. Plus, they have more antioxidant power than all other nuts,about 1 ounce contains only 4 grams of carbohydrates, half of that coming from fiber.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     4- String cheese is another amazing snack  that's low carb   One part-skim string cheese stick contains less than 1 gram of carbohydrates They're small and pre-packaged, making them one of the easiest low-carb snacks  to enjoy between meals. (They are also amazing coated with almond flour and deep fried )                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         5- hard boiled eggs . They are packed with protein and have  0,6 carbs per egg  you can enjoy a few of them as a snack and they are amazingly filing. add a little mayo and make deviled eggs                                                                                                                                                                                   6-Jerky (beef or turkey) also great if you know how to make your own                                                                                                                                                                                     7- If you can find the dill pickles in the bags they make a perfect snack on the go or place a few in a zip lock bag or any smaller container 

what are net carbs ?

1. net carbs  are simply the grams of total carbohydrates in a portion of food minus its grams of fiber. Because fiber is a carbohydrate that your body cannot digest, it does not raise your blood sugar levels or trigger an insulin response.                                     When you follow a low-carb diet you actually count grams of Net Carbs, which represent the total carbohydrate content of the food minus the fiber content and sugar alcohols (if in the product). The Net Carbs number reflects the grams of carbohydrate that significantly impact your blood sugar level and therefore are the only carbs you need to count when you do. low-carb . 

along on my low carb journey

Well today i got on the scale and it moved again and i lost a few more pounds bringing my loss to 45 pounds which for me is amazing and perfect, I wanna lose at a slower rate and keep it off and not gain it back like before. I average 11 pounds per month and all the food i eat keeps me full and satisfied and I am eating healthier than i have ever eaten, I also have lost a lot of inches and i should have measured myself so i knew exactly how much but i never did but i can tell by my clothes it is a lot and i have had to give away some of them cause they were big or falling off which i wont complain, Well today i wanna talk about the question i have been seeing a lot of on face book. People keep asking about fasts and loosing the weight the quickest..why would you put yourself through all that to end up failing? you may lose it quick but you will gain it back that quick. The only way i would ever even think of doing a fast is if i had a wedding to go to and wanted to fit into an old dress quick. If you take off the weight slower you wont have to worry about gaining it back so fast ,and  most people  know that is the struggle we have been dealing with the most of  of our lives. Well today is august 12 2015 and i will continue with this low carb life style  the rest of my life cause i have found it to be very healthy and satisfying  and it has been working for me. I have found amazing recipes and have been making them for me and my son and the low carb deserts fill my sweet tooth and that was my biggest downfall. I have never been an over eater of regular food but when it came to cake or ice cream all bests were off :(  well it's late and im off to see the wizard ....

Low-carb diets don’t hurt kidneys

Sometimes, the best thing to do when you go low-carb is keep your mouth shut — because the moment people find out you’re on this woe, they try to side track you by repeating every myth and outright lie they ever heard about the diet.
And there are plenty of them like this one that’s bound to come up sooner or later: A low-carb diet is bad for your kidneys.
This is so not true..
If your kidneys could talk, they’d thank you for going on a diet of all-natural fats and proteins  because they’ll no longer have to work overtime filtering out all the toxins that come from a modern garbage diet high in processed junk.
It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to your kidneys,
Another myth, busted   but it’s one thing to simply not hurt the kidneys, .
It’s quite another to actually help them, and other studies have shown that going low-carb can do just that. In one study last year, the diet actually reversed kidney damage in diabetic mice.
No surprise. Obesity and diabetes are what hurt kidneys — and the healthy animal proteins you’ll enjoy as part of a low-carb diet will shrink your gut, prevent diabetes, protect your heart , and help your kidneys… all at the same time. so there's another reason why you would really wanna do this diet :) and ps. I am not a dr just an average person who looks up research and have been doing this diet myself and have been seeing all the great benefits

What are fat bombs?

What are fat bombs?

Usually made from a combination of ingredients such as butter, coconut oil, nuts and seeds, fat bombs were initially designed for those following the Ketogenic diet.  Low carb and ketogenic diets are roughly 75% healthy fat – a ratio that’s challenging to keep up. The solution? Find a concentrated (and delicious) form of fat.

Eating fat sources alone isn’t always palatable, and doesn’t add protein or fiber. This is where fat bomb recipes come into play: all the healthy high fat you need to stay in ketosis with heightened nutrition and unbelievable taste.

                                                                 

Xanthan Gum... is this really a good product if it has sugar ?

I see lots of people who are on  low carb diets that use this in tons of recipes but from the research i have done and reading on it i think i might just not bother with it. when you wiki this one section says: :Xanthan gum is a "highly efficient laxative," according to a study that fed 15 g/day for 10 days to 18 normal volunteers. This is not a dosage that would be encountered in normal consumption of foodstuffs. This study set out to examine the use of xanthan gum as a laxative. As described above, xanthan gum binds water very efficiently, which significantly aids passing stools.^[13] Some people react to much smaller amounts of xanthan gum with symptoms of intestinal bloating and diarrhea.::::: another one says::::

 xanthan gum seems to be capable of (in adults) is causing some digestive distress in those who are susceptible by increasing stool bulk, water content, and sugar content. But as I just mentioned, those with severe allergies should also be careful . Xanthan gum is a largely indigestible polysaccharide that is produced by bacteria called Xanthomonas Camestris. (1) Manufacturers place the bacteria in a growth medium that contains sugars and other nutrients, and the resulting product of bacterial fermentation is purified, dried, powdered, and sold as xanthan gum. (Makes you wonder who first thought to put it in food, doesn’t it?)     so in conclusion it's gonna make you poop and it has sugar in it then why are people using it? you are replacing one sugar with another

how can you lose inches without losing weight

                                                                                                                         

Muscle Versus Fat

Pound-for-pound, muscle takes up less space than fat. Sp, as you gain muscle and lose fat, your scale numbers may not change, but your body sure does. Muscle is composed of healthy, metabolically active tissue that appears lean and smooth. Although fat weighs the same, it takes up more space and gives your body a lumpy appearance. The scale can only tell you if you’ve lost pounds, but not if you've lost fat pounds and replaced them with muscle. That's what happens when you lose inches.                                                                  

Body Composition 

Body composition, or body fat percentage, is the measure of fat tissue versus lean muscle tissue. When you’re trying to lose weight, this may be a better measure of progress than the scale. When you lose pounds through dieting alone, you lose a combination of fat and muscle mass. Losing muscle mass can lower your metabolism and make you into a person who is “skinny fat,” meaning you appear thin but have too high a percentage of fat. A study published in the “Journal of the American Medical Association” in 2012 determined that one in four people are of normal weight, but have too high a percentage of fat, are pre-diabetic and metabolically obese.                                                                                                                                                                            If you continue to watch your calorie intake and exercise, the scale will eventually show that you’ve lost weight. The process may just take longer if you’re adding muscle as you lose. Ultimately, if you feel healthier, look leaner and have grown stronger – it doesn’t matter what the scale says.      

Can you get keto flu more than once?

I have been seeing this question posted a lot all over face book groups and  today i believe i can now go ahead and answer it and say yes you can :(  I got up felling like crap and thought maybe i was just getting normal sick and didnt think much of it then i felt a bit better so i ate something a few hours later i was feeling light headed just like week two (when i first got sick ) and i went to lay down and the room was spinning and got sick just like before. I waited a half hour and went to go to the fridge and got me some pickles and surely enough after i ate them it went away :)  so i guess that  answers that question

Low Carb Beer/ wine Comparison Chart

Low carb beers are lighter in flavor. You should do everything you can to bring out as much of the beer's flavor as you can. Store the cans/bottles away from sunlight so they do not get skunked. Did you know light can skunk a beer in Under a Minute? 

For the best flavor, do not drink the beer out of the bottle or can. Pour it into a glass and let the foam settle. It should be served right from the fridge. If you can, store a few beer glasses in the freezer so you can serve your beer in the frosted glass.

Red wine is high in antioxidants and very low in sugars. It contains 3-5g of carbs per 5oz glass. Beware of fortified dessert wines such as port – these are quite high in carbs.
Dry white wines, including sparkling wines such as champagne are also a good choice, at 2-5g per 5oz glass. White wine contains fewer antioxidants than red wine.
Pure spirits such as vodka, brandy and whiskey contain zero carbs. The best way to have them is straight (if you are feeling hardcore), or mixed with water or soda water. Be very cautious about other types of mixers – coke and juices are laden with sugar, whereas diet versions usually contain aspartame, which is not recommended on some diets.
