Currently working with @Funnyman on my keto diet and found out that many protein powder are garbage, or at least they have more filler than they told us.
As a T1D i'm checking my Blood Sugar frequently and i'm doing it with a FreeStyle Libre so i can get a nice picture of what my blood sugar doing while i eat this or that.
In the past i found out that the Yummy Sports Iso was total garbage, the sweety taste that come with it was really from sugar, i had massive spike in blood sugar when i used them. Throw them in the garbage and got refund.
So i'm gonna start a thread about all the protein so people can have a better idea of which one are trully sufar free or really low carbs (5-6g less)
Every 5-8gr of carbs make my blood sugar raise by 1 point. So i can easely assume that when i take a protein shake that raise my blood sugar 3 points it surely have at least 15g carbs in it.
Every test was done and will be done with no insulin used at least 3hours before the shake and trying to have a stable blood sugar level before taking my shake.
So the last 3 i tried are :
MP FitMiss Vanilla (25g serv size, 3g carbs 1.5g fats - 16g prot serv) 1.5x scoop result in approx 2.5 mmol/l rise so more like 12g carbs in this 1.5x portion instead of 4.5g (didn't take picture, since i wasn't planning on doing this thread but talk about it with funnyman)
Celluco Whey Cinnamon Swirl (33g serv size, 3g carbs - 1g fats - 24g prot) 1 scoop result in a 3.3 mmol/l rise so we're talking about at least 15g carbs in it
Canadian Protein Whey Vanilla (30g serv size, 2g carbs - 2.5g fats - 24g prot) 1 scoop result in a 4.5 mmol/l rise so at least 20g carbs here also
The last 2 are Whey protein so maybe it digest too fast and begin gluconeogenesis, i can't talk much about this part but think it could be a possibility to consider.
Next step will be to try Isolate or a blend of isolate and casein.
Also i'll look into brand that contain stevia instead of other sugar replacement ingredients.
I'll send msg to company to get sample to try also
