    100g Mustard=5g Carbs. I easily down 100g on school days. Days where Im home all day... Lets just say a whole bottle would be gone if I was home two days straight. I mix ground pepper, mustard, and hot pepper extract to smother my food in  :-[ lol

    jeez that is a lot.. standard bottle of mustard lasts a month or two for me

    Likewise. I enjoy it but just like everything else in moderation.

    also wanted to point out labels can cause issues for some people.. people see 0g carbs on the package but check the ingredients.. even if it has say .5g sugar per serving(label will say 0) it's usually not a big deal but for some if they eat a hefty amount of packaged foods they still could be getting a decent amount of sugar everyday even when they think they are eating ULC..

    Exactly, this is point that is overlooked, and a sneaky way for food companies to push their products out. Uneducated people that just "munch away mindlessly" (Yes I made up that word) will buy more and more of said product thinking it's okay. For example, Bahama Buck's has Thin Ice Flavorings sweetened with Natural Stevia, this excited me but knowing full well of sneakiness, I checked the site, also contained Dextrose before the actual Stevia. Bit long winded but wanted to share.

    Pork is always the sneakiest motherfucker of all. I always check the ingredients of everything I buy, but especially bacon and ham. Costco's practically the only place I can find bacon without any sugar. It's marked as "low sodium" too, paradoxically enough, as if that's the reason I'm buying it.

    Those people are idiots and shouldnt attempt a ULC diet (; Unless you are on a full blown ketogenic diet (which most Low Carbers are not) those incidentals shouldnt make any difference. If you have low muscle mass you might have to watch smaller amount of carbs a bit closer. But even Kiefer said that about 10g per meal in the ULC phase is roughly where the cut off is. 5g is near enough to nothing IMO. Hell I even put a teaspoon of sugar in my Leucine and Amino rich Jello I have in the morning.

    can't argue with the point in red.. but truth is good portion of people eat from mostly pre packaged foods.. and i'm not arguing 5g is going to make any difference but eating 30g from sources you thought were 0g then you add on the 20-30g you are eating already that you know and you are well above what kiefer recommends for ULC days... just good to be aware nutrition labels can be deceiving

    Worrying about sugar being in bacon is pointless. It's nearly completely gone, it's just used in the curing process. Don't stress yourself over it. Same thing with the stupid nitrate/nitrite pandemonium.

    There was a similar show on Canadian television a week or so ago as well. Are the tides of public health turning? This one was definitely better, even though it was less than half as long. This one went into the whole carb issue(not just sugar) and the calories in versus calories out issue as well. Plus the host was hot…and when she reached for that yogurt? Daaaamn  ;DOne issue I am curious about though(since I've been eating a fair amount of sugar lately) is the issue with fructose versus glucose. It seems to be pretty cut and dry that the potential negatives of fructose are much worse than glucose, but is the disparity between the two reduced when in a carb and/or energy deficit? I believe I've read that fructose and glucose in tandem is actually better at refilling muscle(and maybe liver) glycogen than glucose alone when carb depleted. I also believe Kiefer may have stated(on a podcast or something) that fructose behaves the same as glucose when in an energy deficit(again, is this caloric deficit or when carb depleted). Follow up question...is it possible to not be in a carb depleted state when in an energy deficit?

    Ha I said I don't give a rat's ass about the stuff in mustard hahaha. The stuff in pork like less than 2% of whatever its filled with, gets cooked out when you make it. So the 1g becomes almost not valid.
