Please tell me how I can do it? I just start with lactaid and add some yogurt? I dont know why this is such a hard thing to find on the internet. Do I need to add sugar if I dont want it sweet? Thanks

I generally tested once a week. Sometimes I tested 2x/wk if I was experimenting with my macros (macronutrient amounts). I've been stable in nutritional ketosis for a number of months now, and my numbers were so stable I stopped testing. BTW, it may be a good idea to also check your glucose levels at the same time. Best time to check is upon arising, fasted. Gives an accurate baseline level, not affected by meals or workouts.

Not at all.... I used it for the whole month and watched what I ate and no results happened. I think you would have to bye it from the website instead, but I did not try that one it is expensive. This to me is a knock off brand.

I wish I could help with your question. The GNC nutritionist I spoke to told me take one 30 minutes before every meal. hmmm

Yes this helps you lose weight if you follow the directions. 1 scoop is 110 calories. If you measure properly, you will be good. Its used as a meal replacement in conjunction with healthy eating. I just use it with water and a dash of cinnamon to help regulate blood sugar ( i am not a diabetic, just want to lose weight). I use this for my lunch and eat small healthy snacks throughout the day ( apples, pears,pistachios ). Also you need to eat healthy and in moderation with exercise. It seems like a lot but hard work is how you will be successful. Nothing in life comes easy and there is no one drug cure.

Actually, I just tasted the powder before answering this question. I almost didn't taste any sugar, it is so little.

Yes, when used properly. I use for a meal replacement either morning or lunch. I also cut back on wheat and sugar.

I take one before each meal. The directions say: For optimum effect, take two before each of your starch contining meals.

Theresa, I will not know until a1c is checked again next month at lab. I can tell you after drinking 2 cups each day for a week of Mulberry Tea, that checking blood sugar each day, it has lowered. I drink 2 cups a day because I enjoy the flavor. I drink one after breakfast and after supper. I am type 2 diabetic.

I too was a little worried about the sugar content. I have been using coconut water instead of the sugar water mix and it is much less sweet. I do alternate between the two as the grains really feed better on the sugar. My grains have been multiplying like crazy so they must be happy!

Yes Mike. This is my regimen. I mix it 1 cup milk 1 cup water. Tblsp of Honey, Peanut butter, banana, berries and a couple of spoons of cinnamon. If you don't this taste, maybe try the vanilla or chocolate. I've been doing this for a year now. Every morning.

I have had my usual Now brand on the shelf for a year and no problems. Just keep your bag sealed or put it in a storage container. CAUTION: if you have dogs, this is lethal so keep it put up out of their reach. It passes through human bodies unabsorbed which is similar to how the gas medicine simethicone works. It does not spike my glucose levels and has the least net carb effect of any sugar alcohol and less gastrointestinal upset risk than xylitol. I have used it in baking, ice cream making and beverages just fine. You will have to play with texture (dissolving the crystals may need some help or pulverize them in a blender, etc...) or amounts. It is considered to be 70% as sweet as table sugar but we find it can actually taste sweeter to us but then we are on ketogenic dietary protocols to control my diabetes and when you get sugar and excess carbs out of your system everything tastes sweeter, more intense, cleaner and absolutely delightful.
