If you’re body is adapting to Keto yet stay away from it as it contains sugar alternatives that spike your insulin even though it doesn’t have any carbs. Try adapting to sparking water or only consume like non insulin spiking sugar alternatives like erythritol

If you do real keto the intent isn’t no carbs, it’s no insulin spikes. Carbs definitely cause insulin spikes (so you minimize them) but there are other things that cause spikes as well, including sugar substitutes. Aspartame (Diet Coke) is one of the sugar substitutes that has the least insulin response, but is also loosely linked to other issues (non keto related). Best sugar substitutes will be stevia, monk fruit, erithrytol. Whole Foods carries stevia soda that I buy while on expense account.

Certain sugar substitutes will definitely knock you out of keto. The one that gets me the most is maltitol as it is used in a lot of “keto friendly” products/protein bars by companies who are just marketing to the keto band wagon. A lot of sugar free chocolate also has it

That being said, dropping the soda habit isn’t a bad idea. I do a lot of sparkling waters. Just glad my client keeps them stocked.

Glycemic index is the best indicator of insulin response. Below is the GI chart for sugars and sugar substitutes

Kinda yeah but it’s a gateway to more sugary alternatives in my opinion

Not strict keto, but it doesn’t have any carbs, so if you are doing dirty keto and it doesn’t stall you, go for it! I have it occasionally

Yes. It’s fine. There’s also a ton of new energy drinks which are zero sugars and carbs too

It’s fine

Better to do soda water with a few drops of a sugar free flavoring...

Hey folks - I have an inquiry on my credit for a gym membership I “failed to cancel”. I had previously left this gym as it closed during pandemic, and shifted to a new location. In doing so, I informed the gym I would be leaving. However, I recently checked my credit and saw that my membership had not been cancelled and had been sent to collections (prompting an inquiry and dropping my score).

Has anyone experienced this, and is aware of next steps to take here?
