Boullion

[Jenbuzz]

I find the boullion really helps. I go thru a mid afternoon phase where I'm convinced I'm going to die or something, it has got better the last 3 days, but the boullion seems to fool me into thinking I've eaten! I do stick to one small cup a day tho.

Think that's what I'm gonna do. I like a more substantial 'meal' for dinner, something I can chew. As I don't have any porridge it's got to be the bars. They're both sweet and I simply need something savory at night-time so there broth is gonna have to do the trick.

Works for me! Good luck x

So, I'm a daily weigher. I bought the reduced salt version and had 1 teaspoon in a mug yesterday. Just 1 mug. I was up 1.075 today. In 3 weeks this hasn't happened to me before. I'm sure it's just coincidence but now I'm scared to have it again. It was really nice as well. Grr!

That's really strange, there's nothing in it that should have had that effect. It's not your TOTM is it? Maybe you're retaining water for some reason?

Hi, all,
I have been doing everything by the book but my keto sticks also showed a decrease over the last 2 days - I had bouillon, yesterday and today, 3 tsp in total each day. So I do wonder if it messes with ketosis.
Was so hoping it didn't as I do need a bit of savory every day on top of the soup I have for lunch. I don't like finishing the evening with a sweet bar. Having said that, I just received my pasta carbonara packets today which I could have for dinner, maybe this way I can reduce the weekly intake of bouillon. :cry:

No, def not totm but it must be water retention. I'll try it again when I'm feeling brave. I could really have done with a cup today.

I've tried the bullion it's okay, but I would really like to have some bovril does any one use this?

 

[jael001]

From what I understand, Bovril's too high in salt and is not allowed.

The bullion should be Ok and wont take you out of Ketosis provided you dont overdo it. They actually provide sachets on LL and I think there is a limit so one cup a day wouldnt hurt of take you out of ketosis. I only use a tea spoon in a mug, once a day.

Even 1 teaspoon is usually too much, I make mine with about a third of a tsp.
