It's no good - the evening primrose must not have kicked in today.

Danny handed me a chocolate biccy and i just had to have it - really yummy bahlsen covered in thick chocolate - Guilt trip now, and I'm probably being visited by the bloat fairy even as I type, so I washed it down with extra water - might flush it right out of my system - lol.

But another strange fact I found out whilst surfing around preparing for my long haul trip, is that 1 small piece of very dark chocolate(90% cocoa) has the same effect as taking 1 aspirin per day to prevent DVT - also the higher the cocoa content, the less carbs. As I can't take aspirin (heartburn) I might just try this and see if it kicks me out of ketosis or not. May also hold off the chocolate cravings whilst my little friend is visiting.

And translated this means....


I know that apples and pears are stairs
The currant bun is the sun
Bird's nest is your chest
Polar bear...hair
A Jimmy Riddle is...

But what the heck is a chocolate biccy and yummy bahlsen? Help!

Sounds like you are on to something with the medicinal benefits of chocolate. I nominate you to be the number 1 researcher for WISH in this area (as long as it doesn't knock you out of ketosis!)

Our biscuits are your cookies, so shortened to biccy

And Bahlsen are a particularly good brand of German ones - really thick chocolate and expensive - so only for treats - Got them in when my folks came round the other day but they only had a couple so the kids have been getting them.

LOL! Thanks for translating - I was wondering the same thing! We really don't speak the same language, do we??

Elise- do you have the sugar free products there that we have here? the ones that are made with maltitol or splenda? they are excellent. Although- for me, they kick me out of ketosis, and it's not worth even one for that reason.....but others can try them and have no problem!
