The Kirkland Thick Sliced Center Cut Hickory Smoked Bacon I got at Costco says 0 carbs and 0 sugars but is cured with water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite. Is the sugar in the cure a problem?

(Was unable to edit post above.) I offered to donate these to the food bank: (awaiting reply as to which items they will accept) 5.5 lbs Frozen Organic Normandy Vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, orange and yellow carrots) 1 container of 1 lb 8 oz raw organic honey 15 quart cartons of Kirkland Original Unsweetened Almond Milk (no refrigeration needed until after opening) 32 quart cartons of Kirkland Organic Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (no refrigeration needed until after opening) 2 containers of 2 lb 12 oz Heinz Tomato Ketchup (Simply - no artificial sweeteners) 1 container of 1 lb ground cumin

Found a food bank near my house for the almond milk.

I have to try that. Had to look it up to see what it is.😁

Flax seed and chia seeds are safe for wild birds, so I can get rid of those that way. Not sure how to get rid of about 46 cartons of almond milk unless I throw it away. Maybe donate.

Are magnesium sulfate and magnesium citrate interchangeable in the mix? I see magnesium sulfate in one recipe and magnesium citrate in another.

good idea

Yes, the magnesium citrate.

Thanks. Is it a necessary ingredient for electrolyte mix?

Do I need to eliminate these for the carnivore diet? Are they allowed on the ketovore diet? Which ones might be problematic? organic ground flax seed organic chia seeds extra virgin olive oil apple cider vinegar w/the mother organic cinnamon ground cumin ground thyme ground ginger cayenne pepper almond milk (Kirkland off-the-shelf original unsweetened and organic vanilla unsweetened) hemp hearts (seeds) organic gotu kola powder organic cacao powder monk fruit extract powder MCT oil (C8) organic matcha (100% Japanese green tea powder)

I found this recipe for electrolytes. It has magnesium citrate instead of magnesium sulfate. Was the suggestion for magnesium sulfate a mistake? I think I'll order the magnesium citrate since I had difficulty finding a magnesium sulfate that I thought would be appropriate. I already take magnesium glycinate at night. I won't be using sugar. Not sure about citric acid? I didn't see how much water to use. A gallon? Salt: 1 teaspoon (regular table salt or sea salt will do the trick) Potassium chloride: 1/2 teaspoon (you can find this at some health food stores or online) Magnesium citrate powder: 1/4 teaspoon (again, health food stores or online retailers should carry this) Sugar or a sugar substitute: 2 tablespoons (this helps with flavor and energy, but it's optional) Citric acid: 1/2 teaspoon (for a little tanginess) KÜHL Born In The MountainsHomemade Electrolyte Drink - KÜHL’s Guide to DIY BeverageHomemade electrolyte drinks are the unsung hero of today's fitness-conscious and health-centric society.

I have quite a supply of Nescafe instant. I've been having one super strong cup a day. I hope it won't cause an oxalate issue.

❤️

I had a cramp in my thigh muscle last night in bed and also a slight cramp in my upper right arm while washing the car today. I started taking fine sea salt in my water so far.

Thanks for letting me know. I need to learn about oxalates.

Can you recommend a good brand of magnesium sulfate? I've been searching Amazon and not finding much. I use Original No Salt to "salt" my food. It contains 690 mg of potassium per 1/4 tsp (potassium chloride, potassium bitartrate, adipic acid, silicon dioxide, mineral oil and fumaric acid). Does this qualify as an electrolyte source for potassium chloride?

I suspect that allulose I've been adding might also be contributing to mine unless I'm making my instant coffee too strong, or a combination of both. Monk fruit arrived today. Will test tomorrow in place of allulose.

Thanks for tips. I'm getting low on allulose; just bought a "big" bag of monk fruit (900 servings).

I bought a used ice cream maker off Amazon Resale so I can make Kiltz's ice cream. Ice cream was one of my weaknesses - overdid quantity. Haven't yet opened the box to use it yet, as I just got it a day or two ago. Blessed Easter and happy birthday to me.

Thanks for suggestions.

I'd like to purchase a smart scale that meets at least minimum requirements for the various measurements. I don't know whether I should get rechargeable or household battery powered. I don't know whether I need a smart tape measure. Favorites? Recommendations?

I had diarrhea probably 5 or more days straight. I hope it's not the allulose. It seems to be gone now, though. I'm having butter in my coffee for the first time..yum. I may follow your advice about the honey. I have some left in the house and was thinking I'd use it up. Maybe I'll come back to it later as you suggest. I don't seem to have sugar cravings unless it's readily available in the house via ice cream, Reese's peanut butter cups, or hard caramel candy. I was ruling out Truvia (stevia). Good to know it might be an option if allulose is a problem. Thanks very much for sharing helpful info. Very much appreciated.

I'm not yet "officially" into the diet, but I've lost some weight already and am experiencing a more peaceful state. I don't know whether that's related to "making" the decision to do it. I haven't been worrying about getting frustrated. I guess I'll find out when/if that happens. I'm looking forward to my body telling me its truth.

Thanks for vote of confidence.
