What is MSG please?

I need a fat bomb that is sweetener free. I'm doing a 21 day sugar detox right now and can't have the sugar - stevia is also a no-go. Any suggested fat bombs?

What is MSG please?

mono-sodium glutamate. If I remember correctly, it's a neurotoxin. It's used to enhance the flavor of things - used in soups, added to steaks in steakhouses, chinese food, etc.

I'm interested in this as well. I was so a desperate couple of weeks ago that I just ate a hunk of butter. I've been trying to think of something else and the only thing I can think of is mixing coconut oil and butter, but there MUST be something better without a sweetener.

Could you use coco powder? I just eat the butter on its own but the coco powder i use has no sugar in it (9 days to go and i will have been sugar free for a year - the odd bar of 90% choc).

This was the first day in about 2 weeks I've worked out and OMG, I could definitely tell a difference in my lifting ability. I was still using the same weights I always have (12 pound dumbbells) but they were so much lighter? I ended up increasing my reps and the slowed down the moves and got a killer workout in. Felt good, real good.

It is amazing how much recovery you can get when you take a break.

If it still bothers you, I get HerbOx powder (in packets) which is MSG free, but they add disodium glutamate, which is essentially the same thing as MSG.

Sort of seems you can't win for losing.

All I can think of is butter and coconut oil too! lol

If I wasn't doing the 21 day sugar detox, I wouldn't be worried about a tiny amount of honey or what-not.

There are a few recipes in the fat fast cookbook, but everything calls for sweetener and I can't imagine it without. Maybe the items that have almond butter would be ok without sweetener. I'll have to experiment, I guess.

It's rough b/c we can't even have fruit on the 21 day deal so batty's blueberry butter balls are out too...

Homemade broth is the only other option - but you'd have to salt it pretty good to get the electrolytes you'd need to recover from the carb flu.
