So I try to eat mostly “whole”, real food, but i do like to have a candybar sometimes. I’ve been looking around and seems that KitKat is one of the better choices (besides pure chocolate) because of the lack of PUFAs. Unlike, say a Snickers which is not just packed with peanuts but packed with partially-hydrogenated soybean oil, KitKat uses palm kernel oil which is on par with coconut oil in terms of being a saturated fat from vegetables. I’m not one for reading labels obsessively, but PUFAs are so pervasive i do try to avoid them when I can and they are truly in everything unless you cook it yourself. (And please don’t give me Mounds bars because while they do have coconut, i cannot stand to eat them).
KitKat ingredients:
CHOCOLATE; PALM KERNEL OIL; LACTOSE (MILK); MILK FAT; CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: SOY LECITHIN; PGPR, EMULSIFIER; YEAST ; VANILLIN, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR; SALT; SODIUM BICARBONATEBut the snickers just taste so much betteR IMH;)
Used to b totally hooked on Lidnt chocholates too.
Hey u mention in another post using Great lakes gel.
And boiling bones. Did it help with food intolerances.
Did u have any allergies? Also how long to see improvment?haha. I really like Kitkat so . . ..
As for Great Lakes gelatin, most mornings since i eat breakfast at work i get some grits (starch), butter (saturated fat), salt, and add some eggs i’ve brought from home or add some gelatin. I never had food issues, but i was just doing it to add some variety and balance out all the muscle meat i ate during my paleo days. I have not seen any change but i only eat a tablespoon or two a few days a week.Just another reason to love Kitkats…although there is soy lecithin, which is something else, besides PUFAS, that I try to avoid…but I’m not neurotic about it.
I love kit-kats–they’ve been a favorite since I was a kid. Health-wise, I’d say gummy bears are probably the best candy: low fat, a mix of starch and sugar, and even a bit of protein.
