the body absorbs high fructose corn syrup and honey, the is no real difference and the "healthy" benefits of honey are so minimal, there is no difference. Avoid are sugars if your going to be "clean"
OMGosh, I had several Russell Stover Fruit Chews, which, on the front, says 'sugar free' made with stevia extract, and ingredients, first ingredient states Maltitol. Had horrible stomach pain, diarrhea, after I ate them, and thought, what the heck??? Had no idea that was probably it. Im checked, as you mention this, and, yep, there it was!!! Now I know what to watch for in my ingredients. Had no idea that was a possibility. Thanks for the heads up!!!❤
Yep sugar free stuff is sometimes worse than just going ahead and eating the regular sugar stuff. Cause of the sugar alcohol it contains. A lot of people don't realize just cause it said sugar free they can eat it. So, thanks for pointing that out. Also, between my hubby and you, y'all really encouraged me to get up and make my own stuff. I was already starting to slowly make my own stuff, but this is the real push I needed. Love your recipes. Did the big Mac salad the other day, it was really good. Getting more into the low carb lifestyle.
Thank you for sharing this video very helpful, I’m just now starting my journey to living a more healthier lifestyle and I truly needs this.. And but yes most definitely do a second and third part of this. Thanks again
Mayra, thank you for educating us on all this. I am 64 and still learning from you everyday. Love every single one you make. You are so generous in donating your time to do this, would love a part two also please. God bless !!
Yesss please! I love your videos and love that you are actually talking about these ingredients that sooo many people including myself are not aware of and that aren’t good for you. Please do a part 2. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video, it is so helpful for one that does most of the food shopping in my household. I would love to see more Billie this. These big companies are always looking for ways to hide poor ingredients in our food.
Years ago I developed a sensitivity to ALL forms of soy. It is a blessing in disguise. I always have to read labels of any baked good I might buy. I literally thank God that I have found some sandwich rolls that do not have soy in them. All most ALL baked goods you buy at a supermarket have soybean oil in them. BTW mayonnaise main ingredient: soybean oil.
Omg, i literally bought the Russell Stover bag of mixed chocolates. I ate 3 of them today and felt neausea, flatulence so bad! Ugh. This is how i found you channel while i was searching for low carb meals.
Thank you for all the great information, I have been watching you for a while now, your awesome I have successfully lost over 60 pounds, now it's about staying the weight I am..I 58 and been lifting weight, it's awesome for people as we age.
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear this message. I been consuming these things often and I wonder why I wasn’t losing any weight. I will most definitely be careful on what I consume in my body.
Maltitol really mess up my stomach i check my food labels all the time , i don't care how long it takes me but i don't want to be eating stuff that harm my body❤
Maltitol takes time to get used to. The first time I had it, I made the mistake of eating a bunch of gummies with them and was on the toilet for the rest of the day. Nowadays it doesn't affect me.
I can totally relate to this! I had the worst stomach distress every after eating it and tried it a few more times but I don't think my body ever got used to it...and I'm also scared 😟 I'm glad it doesn't affect you as much!
Yes, I have gotten very sick from malitol in sugar free candy. I also get horrible stomach issues from erythritol. How do you feel about that ingredient?
I cannot tolerate Stevia. I ended up in the ER from eating stevia. Stevia acts as a diuretic and a vasodilator. I had my aortic valve replaced in April 2022, and I have to look out Stevia. Two very scary episodes where I experienced arrhythmias and high to low BP issues.
Well, that certainly explains why I don't feel good when I've eaten Russel Stover candies 😡I read all labels, why on earth have I not read that one????? 🤪
Hello I’m on my weight lost journey and I’m so grateful and thankful to coming across your videos thank you for sharing your knowledge and making a difference in many lives who are also working on eating healthy and adapting to a better lifestyle 🫶🏻
I didn't have any adverse side effects with Maltitol except it became super addictive. I wanted more and more. Come to find out, it's proven super addictive.
I've always enjoyed your videos over other "keto" people like Thomas Delauer and others. They just get too science-y and to me, present a crazy, not liveable diet. I'm 35 and recently went from 310 in June to 263 today. I want to lose another 40lbs and I've started working out to help with that. I don't want to be a chemist or a from-scratch baker. I want to live my life and be healthy for my wife and 3 kids by avoiding the junk fillers they put in our food. You're videos are helping me "reimagine" normal, everyday food my family and I can eat without becoming a Ph.D. in nutrition.
Love how you are diving deeper into the ingredients, labels,, symptoms and whys for those viewers whom are not aware of clean eating. It's self sabotage without realizing the importance of labels and ingredients to low carb lifestyle. Awesome content.
Great info Myra! Everything you said is true! Maltitol really messed up your gut. Small constructive criticism. Please cut out the music, it's too distracting and hard to hear you over it. Otherwise you did a fabulous job!
I have lost over 160Lbs. I love your videos. You give so many ideas and great tips. Weight loss is so much easier when you can substitute your food habits with reduced products. Always check the labels and make sure there isn’t to many sugars salts or processed ingredients.
Primal Kitchen is a great alternative to the typical salad dressings, if you don't want to make your own. Clean as can be, since they use Avocado oil. They also make some great BBQ sauce that tastes great and is very low carb. The brand is a bit expensive, but worth it IMO.
Mayra- you are a Godsend! I am back on Keto due to weight gain and swelling. I found you during COVID and your tips and recipes helped me tremendously. I’ve since been following you on IG and decided to start low carbing again. Let me say, I down 6 lbs in the first week. I no longer feel or have bloating and inflammation. I purchased your ebook and will now have you solidly included in ALL of my meals. Muchas gracias!!
❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing about that artificial sweetener, and so glad you got your daughter treated at the hospital and discovered the cause of the issue. Yes, these companies bank on folks not knowing what is in their products that we consume, and buy, due to heavy brand marketing.
Great video, Myra! I have been telling family and friends to read every package for a few years now. Maltitol is the worst of all sugar alcohols, in my opinion. I do say, however, that fructose is definitely worse than table sugar due to how your body processes these two forms of sugar. Fructose is hard on your liver. Thanks for continuing to produce great content. 😊😊😊
Thanks for this video! I was eating those sugar free/stevia candies and was wondering why they gave me diarrhea soon after. I knew it was some ingredient, but didn't know which one. Mystery solved. So thanks again!
I love all your videos. I think you do such a great job explaining them the details you get all the information. How do you go step-by-step when you go grocery shopping I just love it. I just threw everything out of my pantry and started buying a whole Lotta stuff and my refrigerator of things that you’re showing which is so interesting cause then it gives me a lot of motivation, please please send me the recipes for your dressings for my salad. I really would appreciate it. I give you 100% you’re the greatest.
Everyone is different. There is so much research into sugar and sugar substitutes and why each one is technically "safe". I personally have had pretty bad effects with aspartame and sometimes sucralose if I have it on a consistent basis. So, I actually prefer sugar and high fructose corn syrup to these sweeteners. I think they are more natural and do not effect me in a negative way, You will of course gain a ton of weight eating a lot of sugar, but everyone knows that :)
Mayra, love your videos. I lost 45-50 lbs on keto. Unfortunately I gained it back. I am going back on keto and you are one of the main reasons why. Thank you and would love to see part 2
I'll buy the Hershey's miniatures or small peanut butter cups or the Russel Stover's candies, but will limit myself to no more than one per day.. Once I bought the gummy bears made with maltitol but ate no more than four a day. You have to be careful! Also, regarding salad dressings...they are really easy to make at home and taste SO MUCH BETTER! Thanks for the great video!
Thank you, Myra. I really appreciate this information. And yes, maltitol made me so sick. I hate that they sneak those horrible ingredients into our food. I have lost 30lbs. so far. I'm doing pretty good on low carb.
You are so right with the maltitol. I loved those Russell Stover’s turtles but I would either get so painfully bloated or have terrible diarrhea! So disappointing for me.😢
I liked the valuable information in this video BUT the earpounding music ( 🎶 ?) drove me to MUTE the entire video and go to CAPTIONS ON MODE. I ❤ hearing you talking dieting correctly, your voice expressions add so much understanding about exactly 💯 where you stand on certain topics. Having to MUTE because of the music (🎶?) them left me missing 😪 your beautifully candid narratives. Thankfully I don't see these sound level issues often but I did feel that I had to mention it about this video.
I just checked a lot of what I use occasionally, and they do have some of the bad stuff. I shop at Walmart a lot and they carry a chocolate chip brand called Bake Believe which has no added sugars and none of the bad stuff.
I just found your channel and really enjoy the content. However I find the the background music to be too loud and distracting. You don’t really need music. Your content is already so good.
My food budget is $100 per month, a very, very fixed income. I can't afford all the fancy-schmancy food items you suggest all the time. I have been watching your videos for years. They are the best by far, out there. Even if I can't afford to eat clean, I still love you and your videos. ❤️🙏🥰😘
My favorite is the uncured natures promised turkey bacon. It’s almost like a jerky once you get done cooking I love it and it comes up healthy on Yuka as not having any hazardous ingredients
The Russell Stover’s made me SO glad that I live alone - nothing more to be said. I don’t even have to argue with myself about those. I didn’t know the ingredient’s name tho - thanks! Great video 👍
