I got off psych meds and lost 30 pounds. Sometimes you get lucky.

I take health and diet very seriously. Been eating organic since Oct. 2003, no processed foods, no dairy, no carbonated drinks, and lately i've added no white sugar, no white flour, no white rice to help combat Lyme Disease, which has worked well ...
Vodka has zero carbs and zero sugars. 64 calories per ounce.
I believe it’s how it’s metabolized that is the issue.
How does that work, fermentation requires sugars of some kind. They might not add any but there's sugar in it. Off to Google how vodka is made.
"Potatoes have a high glycemic index, making them unsuitable for people with diabetes. "
And I'm sure I don't have to tell you about corn.
And I'm sure I don't have to tell you about corn.
You aren’t eating the food. It’s the alcohols that are a byproduct of fermentation.
You need sugar and yeast to create fermentation. Sugar comes from the food and the yeast is added.
Vodka, made from corn, rice or potatoes, has zero sugar or carbs. I think when the body metabolizes it, it somehow creates sugars.
Vodka: Calories, Carbs, and Nutrition Facts
Vodka is considered a lower-calorie libation compared to wine or beer, but is it the best option for those trying to lose weight?

I need to deep dive into this because corn has sugar in it. Potatoes have less than a gram per 100 grams, and rice starch converts to sugar when it breaks down.You aren’t eating the food. It’s the alcohols that are a byproduct of fermentation.

or so I've heard, I'd never distill alcohol from fermented mash that's illegal.
You're correct, ethanol disrupts glucose homeostasis by lowering insulin reaction at the molecular and cellular level. Basically drinking alcohol causes lsugar levels to rise in your system because it interferes with metabolic functions in the liver and pancreas.You aren’t eating the food.

Fascinating.
Love love love Buc-ees.I did Atkins in the late 90s. Yep it got old. There is so much more out there today and some substitutes allow you to adapt meals and make them low carb. Stevia and monk fruit are pricy but ubiquitous. They last a long time, however.
I occasionally eat Keto bread.
I went on an outing with the Scouts this past weekend. We camped out on the USS Alabama in Mobile. Its a 6hr drive that takes 8-9Eating is a little more challenging while traveling but hey "Be Prepared."
Thursday we were on a scout reservation and I ate hotdogs with chili and cheese.
Friday breakfast was eggs, sausage, bacon and coffee. I had a sandwich on Friday with keto bread ~6g net for lunch and had tacos on keto tortillas (2 at ~12g ) for supper Friday night.
Saturday was a munk bar and coffee for breakfast and a subway salad for lunch. Dinner was the Buc-ees meat and cheese pack with the hot cheesy sausage slices.
Sunday I was back and took communion at the local sunrise service. Otherwise back to "normal" eating with no breads or sugars.
So Vodka has zero carbs, however when alcohol is broken down by your body, it is converted to sugar.
Yes, and to add to the racism, I love black beans and black-eyed peas ...
This made me laugh because it reminded me of a convo I had with someone about sleep apnea.
She was arguing with me how important it was to wear my cpap. Something I just can’t wear anymore because I am claustrophobic. Her comment…You don’t want to die in your sleep do you?
I replied: yes actually, that’s exactly how I want to go. The look on her face was priceless. Would you rather I have a painful, drawn out death?

Plunging in with both feet concerning things we talk about here....
It is difficult to define philosophy. In fact, to do so is itself a philosophical activity, since philosophers are attempting to gain the broadest and most fundamental conception of the world as it exists. The world includes nature, consciousness, morality, beauty, and social organizations. So the content available for philosophy is both broad and deep.
Because of its very nature, philosophy considers a range of subjects, and philosophers cannot automatically rule anything out. Whereas other disciplines allow for basic assumptions, philosophers cannot be bound by such assumptions. This open-endedness makes philosophy a somewhat awkward and confusing subject. There are no easy answers to the questions of what philosophy studies or how one does philosophy.
This is one of the many critical reasons that a Strong/Solid 1st Amendment is required.
(and a strong 2nd Amendment with fully informed citizens to guarantee all of the rest)
Hate Speech is bogus.
Censored Words is also bogus.
Thought Control sanctioned by government, is the major threat to a FREE society imo.
Speech is either FREE, or it isn't....
Something as simple as a log of bologna disappears one thin slice at a time; until one day you wake up and the entire log is gone....
Control unlawful violent actions by anyone, while leaving FREE SPEECH totally unhindered.
'If I call you anything, you have a right to walk away or to attempt to counter what I've said.'
But you do not have a right to physically attack me for my thoughts or my speech. Anyone doing so should be hammered for their violent act, not me for exercising my 'unalienable' right to free thinking and free speech. And the elected government has NO RIGHT to censor the unalienable rights of citizens either....
"Unalienable means not transferable or capable of being taken away or denied."
You can yell 'FIRE' in a theater, but then you can and should be hammered for doing so if there's no fire. Using that as an excuse to restrict my free speech is just another underhanded slice off the Constitutional bologna.
From the French philosopher and Enlightenment writer, Voltaire, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” in an attempt to calm things but also to support the principle of freedom of speech.
Oath of Office, elected or appointed to public office and those in the military:
“I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Traitors to that oath should be punished immediately and decisively. Any attempt to change the Constitution while in public office or in the military is a US Code 2381 violation punishable by law. While other American Citizens can attempt to do so by any and all of the legal means available.
"Treason. Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000 ..."
Total lawlessness and/or the uneven application of the LAWS will end civilized society quickly, casting us all into destructive >>> CHAOS..........
