Can kick you out of ketosis (KETO DIETERS BEWARE)
When i saw these on Dr Bergs youtube channel I was super excited to try them. I didnt realized until I got them and ate them (one 2"x2" brownie) that one of the main ingredients includes tapioca starch, 77 on the glycemic index, which is high for keto dieters. (remember: stable blood sugar = low insulin levels, which is good) They taste good but if you are on a keto diet beware because these pretty much kicked me out of ketosis. I self experiment with new foods that I try because I am very dedicated to the ketogenic lifestyle. Before eating these my blood ketones levels were at 1.6 mmol/L and approx 45 minutes later i was at a 0.3 mmol/L. I use the precision ultra ketone and blood glucose monitor. Diabetics and Keto Dieters beware.
