• Thanks for the recipe and tips y’alls. Gonna cut out the fruit and nuts and see how I go. I know it’s not proper keto. That was just loose language on my part, it’s just broadly low carb.

    What’s with Diet Coke being a grenade btw? From a calorie point of view I mean?

    More from the knock on effects it has on your body when you pretend sugar is coming in
    and then it doesn't. Similar with alcohol, if you have a watch that tracks your heart rate
    long term you can see how even a small amount fucks you up the next day but the long term effects from worse sleep etc also have some effect.
    We are probably all getting to that age were the body can't recover as easily as it did at a younger age so I try to avoid hitting it with crap.

    On a health and wellbeing perspective, it’s worse than water, but far better than the fizzy drinks containing actual sugar.

    A bit like how vaping is not good for you. But vaping is healthier than smoking.

    Some of the concerns of increased Diet Coke intake relates to the increased caffeine.

    If a Diet Coke helps you avoid reaching for that chocolate bar or biscuit, it’s better than the alternative.
    I would recommend getting the caffeine free version, as the caffeine does add up. I think the caffeine free version won’t increase your heart rate or disrupt your sleep.
