Um, okay if you insist.

Yes, a clever name.

I'm a bit confused by the product information though. On their website it says 1g net carbs, 7g protein and 80 calories per slice.



But I wonder what they really mean by "Net carbs" because when you click on their link for Nutrition Facts, it says this:

Total Carbohydrate 11g, Protein 7g, total fat 3.5g. That would come to 103.5 calories per slice (44+28+31.5).



U.F.Oat Bread - Carbonaut | 2G Net Carbs Per Slice

It's all a bit confusing.

I usually eat the multi grain one, but to find the net carbs you take the total carbs minus the dietary fiber. This tells you how many net carbs are in 1 slice. I eat quite a bit of fiber these days. This bread has pretty high protein for a bread, and low enough fat (also good fats). It would be 2 net carbs per slice , if that helps. 80 calories per slice.

Noooooo!




A few readers will be shocked, shocked I tell you!!!!

I hate quoting my own post, but you also subtract the sugar alcohol to get the net carb, so it equals only 1 net carb, not 2 as I said. They don't consider the sugar alcohol as sugar so it isn't counted in the net. So for people counting carbs they use the net carbs.. Nev.

^^
Either way monkey boy, it beats your go to breakfast of smoked smegma sprinkled with fresh clinker.

I had a pint of whiskey but I also ate a tin of spinach so my net carbs were zero!!!!

^Ok, i'll break a few things down for ya..
so a shot of whisky is 97 calories, no sugar, no carbs and no fiber...eek.
A tin of spinach say 100 grams is 23 calories, less than a gram of carbs, 2.9 grams of protein, 0.4 grams of sugar, and 2.2 grams of fiber.

I'll stick with a slice of my bread. lol
Alcohol is empty calories, but I think you knew that.

Whooaaaaa. Lets back the big dump truck up. I have a few slices of orange with my whiskey sour. There is some fiber in that. . Win...Win.

^^
What if he mixes the whiskey with Diet Coke?

Does he get negative calories?

^ see lots of weight savings and health benefits.

Anyone with a history of disordered eating should steer clear of fasting of any kind. Imposing these sorts of restrictions on the way you eat, and refraining from food for long periods of time, may only serve to trigger old issues around your relationship with food, particularly if you find yourself unable to stick to the regime. “Those who’ve had eating disorders are at a high risk of causing further damage to themselves and should not follow any type of fasting regimen,” says Jay.






Despite what some people may claim, fasting can also slow your metabolism as your body adjusts to conserving its energy. For some, this could even lead to weight gain. “During periods of reduced calorie intake, the body may enter a state of energy conservation to preserve resources,” says Lambert. “This can result in a decrease in the number of calories burned at rest (basal metabolic rate). While this adaptive response is a survival mechanism, it can make weight maintenance or loss more challenging in the long run.”
There can also be side effects due to the lack of regular energy supplies. These can range from physical symptoms, such as fatigue, to psychological ones. “A prolonged state of fasting can affect blood sugar levels, contributing to fluctuations that may result in mood changes,” explains Lambert. “The body’s response to hunger and the deprivation of nutrients during the fasting period can also impact neurotransmitters and hormones, potentially leading to irritability, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating.”


For obvious reasons, any kind of fasting diet can also be hard to maintain, particularly alongside any kind of social schedule, which may lead to other consequences down the line. “Not being able to continue it can cause feelings of guilt and disappointment,” adds Jay. “We need to honour our hunger. Ignoring hunger cues during fasting can impact certain chemical messengers in our body related to our appetite, such as the ghrelin and the neuropeptide Y. This can lead to sensations such as feeling constantly hungry and craving carbohydrates specifically.” Again, if this leads you to break your fast unexpectedly, or overeat in the windows when you aren’t fasting, it could potentially cause unexpected weight gain.
