From keto mojo website: “Generally speaking, you don’t want your blood sugar to spike more than 30 mg from your baseline, and ideally your blood sugar …
You are so nice to test your glucose and ketones like ths with various products. I know it is your reaction but it truly gives us all a really good idea! THANK YOU Krisiti!
Not sure if that's accurate,simply because your liver dumps glucose into your bloodstream between 7-9 every morning,it's called the dawn effect,so a better time to do this test would be late afternoon.
Hey just wanted to say I think the difference of the HERO bars/treats is they are the ones with Allulose. Just was at my local Target & they have a huge new selection of Quest products. Had both the blueberry HERO and Chocolate Carmel Pecan HERO bars. Tried the pecan one, not too bad. Curious if having the allulose might be better on our stomachs??
The math didnt work out because they also subtract out ALLULOSE which they arent allowed to put in with the total sugar alcohols- any item with allulose it "can" be subtracted out but you wont see it subtracted out on the label.
Great video. I love videos like this so that I dont have to test my self. Thxs
Kristi: based on your comment about allulose- Do you usually spike with allulose or were you just commenting that the carb count didn't match up with net until you saw that allulose was in it?
Those (Quest Hero) are the only bars that I actually like, and I think they taste as good as a candy bar. Hence, I don't buy them or keep them around the house. That being said, it is a great option if I am going to a movie or something bc it really feels like a special treat then.
I just ordered the meter. Thank you for the code! Iβve been wanting one for a long time. I canβt wait to start testing. Iβve been in a stall and I want to break it!
Before Keto, my fav's were White Chocolate Raspberry and Birthday cake. Thank you for testing for us.
Hah! Been watching your videos for a while now and just only now realized youβre in Elizabethton! Iβm in Limestone. Howdy, neighbor. Keep up the good work on the videos.
I am never sure what is an acceptable BS/G spike. π
OK lots of comments about checking the regular keto bars. I did a glucose test on the cookies and cream Quest bars. My glucose elevated 1 point at the 30 minute mark. Not clean keto for sure. But so handy to keep in my purse when I am out. Hard to find a decent meal out there. Next I am checking Quest Birthday cake my personal favorite
Ketone levels going down could be normal, but wow, that spike! That would definately make me not eat those. I do need to check my sugars with those, as those bars are my favs. I'll finish up my egg fast tonight, then test with my Quest bars on Monday. I wouldn't mind seeing you test with the regular caramel chocolate chunk bar. Or how about one of those protein drinks that a lot of keto-ers use, like Premier, or the Quest protein drinks.
That is my FAVORITE flavor!
But every time I eat them I crave real sugar, when I normally don't crave sugar π€
Great information Kristi! Iβve never tried these, and I will pass on them when I see them. I did want to ask if youβve ever tried and Kiss My Keto brands? I grabbed a few bars at Sprouts, and I really enjoyed them. This would be an interesting brand to research. Thank you for your wonderful videos π₯°
Good Fat's is pretty good. I still wont buy it rather have a steak or some bacon.
I would love to see the test results of a regular quest bar.I eat them almost daily.
You are wonderful and a pleasure to watch and listen to π
Hi I'd love to know how you felt the rest of the day and if you were hungry later on because of that or if it helped you develop any cravings
Whoa!! If I had not already eliminated Hero bars (due to some intense digestive issues) I would eliminate them now.
I however have a cabinet FULL of the Quest Cookies (I will cry if I have to eliminate those) and the bars.
The cookies are so good and so darn easy to take on the road!
I really ought to test myself but it is so hard to get clean results in my busy life.
Thanks for taking one for the team!
Only use Quest bars when I'm out and starving and not prepared, but they don't make me feel good. No more for me. Thanks Kristi. <3
Hi. Can you please test with the regular quest bars? I just ate my first quest bar today – birthday cake flavor. I donβt have equipment to test, and Iβm not seeing anyone else online testing the original bars.
No quest bar or cookie for us! Long time ago we stopped it. My son ended up in emergency room because of it .super scary…. As for your other bars I love them. Thanks for sharing. Pls post a cooking video ππ€ππ€π
I eat a quest bar maybe once a month or so , too much of a good thing isnβt good
Would really be interested in a normal quest bar. LOL, I like the mint one, s'mores and birthday cake.
TAKE THAT TREE DOWN! lol just kidding just kidding hahaha
my favorite is the raspberry, which is not a hero style. I've been doing keto for a full year. I have never used a monitor yet. Thanks for showing this video. Very interesting. Yes. I'm interested in the regular quest bar test.
I would luv to c if the pure protein bars r ok to eat…maybe u can test them…thx for doin this test for us…hope u have a wonderful eveninπ€ππππ€
Stay away from those things girl! π
Wow!… a 29 point spike seems like a lot to me!.. maybe just eat half a bar at a time but I don't know if that would make much difference…
Thanks for the tests and have an awesome day Kristi!! π
Have you tested the built bars
Can you check the chocolate and peanut butter Atkins bars?
I would really like to see you test the regular Quest bars. I eat them about twice per week and I wonder if they are as bad as the Hero Quest bars.
πβππππ
Thank you! Glad you do these videos, really appreciate them…. (And my hubby and myself always love our daily chuckles..) True kindred spirit!
Hello ππβ€οΈππ
I used to eat Quest bars all the time. Then after doing some research, I found out about the cheap ingredients (GMO) they use while profiting off of marketing low carbs; primarily to consumers on Keto. Any type of palm oil is not healthy unless it's Red palm oil. I tried a HERO bar out of curiosity and couldn't believe how sickening sweet it was. In my opinion, if it tastes like a candy bar, the ingredients cannot be great. Thanks for the glucose review!!
