This is priceless. I wish everyone would have such an attitude towards food!! It really isn’t difficult to listen to your own body, or more accurately, to observe your body’s reaction to a certain type of food. I don’t like this “all carbs are evil” attitude at all. FOR MY BODY, I cannot eat a lot of carbs. In fact, the highest I can go is VVLC (carbs coming from nutrient dense low GL food) or else I become ill.

Last night I went out for dinner and ordered a piece of linefish with garlic butter. All fine for my body. But then everyone ordered starters and I was hungry and could not wait for them to finish their starters first. I ordered a salad. Simple. Lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, olives, feta cheese, green peppers. I went for the feta cheese and olives first. This morning I have blocked sinuses. No surprise, because I know I cannot eat dairy. BUT, I also ate a few slices of tomato, and this seemingly innocent food created havoc in my body. I was starving when I woke up this morning. Constipated and bloated. I could not get to the fridge any faster to grab some eggs. If I had carby foods in my house (I don’t) I might have grabbed that!

None of the other foods I ate ever caused this reaction, and I eat them often. So FOR MY BODY, tomatoes are out! But that doesn’t necessarily mean no-one should eat them, or that I think myself superior because I don’t eat them (except for last night). I love tomatoes! But body says no

LOL at CW’s post re the mousse. Analyze this sentence: ” I had my wife buy some of the homemade ingredients to make it at home.” Buy HOMEMADE ingredients TO MAKE AT HOME?? LOL!! And then he had the nerve to have a go at Willeke for occasionally eating a tiny amount of Lindt 99%!! I’ve often said on here that CW is plain lying about his food, and that I’m almost 100% sure he’s got a stack of supplements sitting next to his tallow (oops, butter has replaced the tallow, almost forgot!) on his kitchen counter!

“Even I enjoy some sweet every now and a long then. I used to have cheese cake after a half-marathon from time to time, but cheese and I have parted ways. On Father’s Day, I actually had some Mousse and didn’t gain any weight that week. Therefore, I had my wife buy some of the homemade ingredients to make it at home.

She went to Whole Foods and got some Heavy Cream that was just heavy cream. Sometimes in the store they have heavy cream that has dextrose and other undesireables in it, so you have to make sure you get farm fresh or some good stuff from the specialty store.

I got some 85% Cacao unsweetened chocolate (0 grams of sugar) and used only a tablespoon (maybe less) of sugar. It was more than sweet enough for me and again, I didn’t gain weight.

I don’t know how often she’ll make this mousse but at least if I have to have something, that might be an option. I also found that I could have 70% Cacao chocolate by Lindt. It has 5g per serving but the taste is so intense, I can’t eat a serving. One serving is 4 pieces and I can take 1 piece and I’m more than good. It has 10 grams of saturated fat per serving and that may be why I responded so well to it.

My point is, I define zero carb as what you do the majority of the time. I go weeks with just meat and water and then every now and then I’ll try something like a desert, or saucy meat or whatever. The very next meal I get back to work. Nothing is ever an all-or-nothing proposition.”

You can add a little cream and whatever sweetner you use and swear you are having hot chocolate.

If you want to eat the nibs you can still after the 3rd brewing get a chocolate taste from them.

I mix the chocolate water with Mother’s decafe coffee to make her a choclate coffee drink like the one at burgerking and pour it over ice and add a like whole milk for her.

milk and sweetner were not added to hot chocolate until the Spainards took it back to Europe. The Myans and otehr folk drank it like black coffee.
