Honestly I gave strict paleo and then lbs a go for months and my mood was depressed, had low energy, Low libido,
etc, becoming desperate I switched the safe starched with brown
rice syrup and coconut sugar and immediately in the short term I feel better... Mood is so important and I don't think trading ketosis for depression is a good move...
My personal philosophy to refined sugars is similar to Charzie's I think: I limit it to the extent that the differences between e.g. maple
syrup, brown
rice syrup, corn
syrup, beet sugar, sugarcane sugar,
etc, become negligible and are really just nuance.
For example, processed high - glycemic foods like white
rice, sugar, white flour, high - fructose corn
syrup, pasta, bread,
etc spike our blood sugar and promote fat creation in the body.
There are many natural alternatives to High Fructose Corn
Syrup such as honey, stevia, agave nectar, maple syrup, molasses, sucanat, brown rice syrup, raw cane sugar, raw coconut crystals, palm sugar, xylitol, turbinato, e
