Low Carb Diet - Intermittent Fasting - Actually "Kills " Hunger

We do low carb intermittent fasting (IF) when we break the fast. We try not to eat more than 25 carbs when we break our fast. We also try to keep the fasting window short so that the fasting period is as long as possible. We try to fast for 20-22 hours, but sometimes hunger pangs occur around 4-6 p.m. While we can lose a few hours in the fasting window, we don't break the carb rules and can stay in ketosis for much longer. This drink is a game changer. It actually makes you "satiated" and it seems to make the body happy enough to turn off ghrelin so you don't feel like "I just want to munch on something crunchy and carbs". This will keep you going for a few more hours. Technically, yes, you'll be breaking your fast, but you won't be raising your insulin levels because the shake has almost no carbs. It's also a must-have cocktailโ€”we're not talking about the small size of a cup of juice here. It's big enough and "thick" enough to make you feel like you've been drinking something more substantial. I have tried all flavors of these drinks. No, seriously โ€” they had a kiosk at my local grocery store and they made me try every one. I've also tried powder mixes. It's personal preference, but I have to say the others had a "wang" taste. You knew you had a drink. It tasted like a glass of pretty good creamy chocolate milk - good chocolate milk. And powder bag? They don't produce the same taste, texture, or consistency. So chocolate shake is not synonymous with chocolate blend. There is one big difference. One that you love to drink and that you even look forward to. Secondly, you will "grin and be patient". The prices here are much lower than my local grocery store for a pack of 12. I can pay $36 here or $42 at my local grocery store, so that's almost 15%. save up. I subscribed and saved them, so now I can get them for about $31, which is easily a 26% savings. It adds up pretty quickly. This reduces the price per drink by USD 1 to around USD 2.50 per cocktail. Since I can hardly make a quick low-carb meal that doesn't have a short shelf life for less, it's a savings across the board. I've also found that if I really want to hit the 22-hour mark, the best thing I can do is have one of these smoothies "with" my meal. So when I have chicken breast and asparagus, I drink this smoothie after I'm done eating. I feel "veryโ€ full and my body feels good all over. I didn't add anything substantial to the food, but the body registered that it was "full". Here's the real "leptin" answer. I like to think that all the extra vitamins and nutrients really play a role here. I am very satisfied with this product. Taste, price, amount of carbohydrates (almost none), satiety. This is an amazing product.
