    This is one of a batch of Chinese dishes I made last week, had a portion tonight, Chicken Sweetcorn with water chestnuts and bamboo shoots a bit of chilli and some soy and vinegar.

    But I bought some Kimchi last week and this is the real deal absolutely gorgeous and goes great with Chinese dishes, the rice is cauliflower rice.

    Some great news from one British Filipino member. He has just messaged me to say he has lost 4kg in weight pretty quickly, along with a whopping great reduction in his blood sugar levels.

    I think this gent wants to remain anonymous however I can assure you he is well known to the forum.

    Champagne for that man. Congrats.

    Is that allowed? How many calories is it John?

    No wrong question ask how many grams of carbohydrates are in the Champagne.

    The calories only matter if drinking the Champagne results in you taking in more carbs than you need right now.

    edit:
    None of this is about what is "allowed", you eat what you want, if you happen to reduce carbs enough then you will be burning fat most of the time and generally you will naturally burn off fat that your body already has that you don't need, the whole mechanism that makes this work is about control of appetite and eating fats makes you feel full.

    And of course Oss is so right. Eyes off the calories.

    Yes, it’s hard to grasp. Many struggle, but many get it either sooner or later.

    Consider this:


    7 Types of Champagne, By Carb Count
    Here are seven types of champagne, broken down according to their sugar content:

    #1: Brut Nature
    This is the driest of them all. The name, nature, implies that there is little to no sweetness added. Although this type of champagne can be hard to find, it’s ideal for a keto diet. One 5-ounce glass typically contains less than 1 gram of carbohydrate.

    #2: Extra Brut
    With just a little sweetness added, this champagne still tastes quite dry. Extra brut typically contains 1 gram or fewer of carbs per 5-ounce serving.

    #3: Brut
    Around 95% of champagne is classified as brut. Brut will still taste pretty dry, but it has a hint of sweetness to balance out the acidity. Brut champagne typically has 1-1.5 grams of carb per 5-ounce serving.

    #4: Extra Dry
    This is where things start to get confusing. Although it’s called “dry,” you’ll actually get more sweetness in extra dry champagne. A small amount of sugar is added to extra dry champagne, giving it a slight but distinctive sweet taste. However, it’s still considered relatively dry. A 5 oz serving of extra dry champagne is typically 2-2.5 grams of carbohydrates in a 5-ounce serving.

    #5: Dry
    With dry champagne you’ll begin noticing more sweet flavor, and a bit less acidity. A 5-ounce serving of dry champagne typically has 3-6 grams of carbohydrates per serving.

    #6: Demi-Sec
    This is a noticeably sweet style of champagne. The amount of dosage added gives demi-sec a sweet flavor that is often paired with dessert. A 5-ounce glass of demi-sec will typically contain 6-8 grams of carbohydrates per serving.

    #7: Doux
    A more rare type of champagne, doux is an even sweeter dessert wine that you’ll want to skip if you’re trying to stay in ketosis. One 5-ounce glass of doux typically contains 8-10 grams of carbs.

    Myself and Mrs Ash buy a dry champagne. She adds a sweetener to hers! :D

    Here we go. After 1:40:05. Steve Wright interviews Dr Saira Hameed. She goes through it all for anyone who still hasn’t got it yet. I know there are one or two of you Doubting Thomas’s about.

    Also the book. Another wannabe trying to make a buck for herself, I hear one or two of you say.

    Have you had a look at frozen berries, Jim?

    Maybe harder to get in the provinces. I get through a lot of these. A few frozen raspberries and heavy cream are pretty good on a hot day.
