Writing Notes: Honey

Honey

Sweet, viscous liquid food, dark golden in colour, produced in the honey sacs of various bees from the nectar of flowers.

Flavour and colour are determined by the flowers from which the nectar is gathered.

Some of the most commercially desirable honeys are produced from clover by the domestic honeybee.

The nectar is ripened into honey by inversion of the major portion of its sucrose sugar into the sugars levulose (fructose) and dextrose (glucose) and by the removal of excess moisture.

Honey is marketed in several different forms: liquid honey, comb honey, and creamed honey. Sometimes the predominant floral type from which the honey was collected is indicated.

Liquid Honey

If liquid (strained, extracted) honey is desired, additional supers are added directly above the brood nest.

When one is largely filled, it is raised and another is placed underneath.

This may continue until several have been filled, each holding from 30 to 50 pounds (14 to 23 kilograms), or until the nectar flow has ended.

After the bees have evaporated the water until the honey is of the desired consistency and sealed in the cells, the combs are removed, the cells uncapped with the uncapping knife, and the honey extracted.

The removed honey is immediately heated to about 140 °F (60 °C), which thins it and destroys yeasts that can cause fermentation.

It is then strained of wax particles and pollen grains, cooled rapidly, and packaged for market.

Comb Honey

In production of honey in the comb, or comb honey, extreme care is necessary to prevent the bees’ swarming. The colony must be strong, and the bees must be crowded into the smallest space they will tolerate without swarming.

New frames or sections of a frame with extra-thin foundation wax, added at exactly the right time for the bees to fill without destroying them, are placed directly above the brood nest. The bees must fill and seal the new comb to permit removal within a few days, or it will be of inferior quality.

As rapidly as sections are removed, new sections are added, until the nectar flow subsides. Then these are removed and the colony given combs to store its honey for the winter.

Creamed Honey

Almost all honey will granulate or turn to sugar.

Such honey can be liquefied without materially affecting its quality by placing the container in water heated to about 150 °F (66 °C).

Liquid and granulated honey is sometimes blended, homogenized, and held at a cool temperature, which speeds uniformly fine granulation.

If properly processed, the granules will be extremely fine; the honey, which has a smooth, creamy appearance, is referred to as creamed honey.

Floral Types

Some honeys are sold by floral type; that is, they are given the name of the predominant flowers visited by the bees when they accumulated the honey.

The beekeeper has no way to direct the bees to a particular source of food but through experience learns which plants are the major sources of honey.

Different flowers produce different colours and flavours of honey. It may be heavy-bodied or thin-bodied, dark or light, mild-flavoured or strong-flavoured.

Most honey has been blended by the beekeeper to a standard grade that can be supplied and marketed year after year.

Different regions in California produce distinctive honeys:

Orange Blossom Honey: Sourced mainly from Southern California's vast citrus orchards.

Sage Honey: Harvested in the coastal areas and foothills.

Buckwheat Honey: Found in Northern California, with a robust, molasses-like flavor.

POST TITLE: 15 Random W eight Loss Facts

CAPTION: Tags only.

CONTENT:

Protein is useless if you avoid consuming fats in your diet. (same with vitamins) REVISION: False. Protein is essential for many bodily functions like muscle repair and immune support. It’s important to have a balanced diet with fats, but protein isn’t useless if you're avoiding fats. However, fats help with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), so avoiding fats can hinder this.

Make sure you consume enough protein, iron, and ESPECIALLY CALCIUM to avoid brittle teeth, hair and nails.

Too much protein and your body treats it the same as carbs. It goes to your glucose stores. REVISION: False. Excess protein isn’t directly converted into glucose the same way carbohydrates are. The body can convert excess protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis, but this process is not as efficient as the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose.

Understand your cravings and adapt to choose healthier options (guide on next 'page')

If you drink mostly diuretics (e.g. caffeine), you need more liquid in your diet.

1L of cool water burns up to 50cal by digesting it. It also helps with performance and burning calories throughout the day. REVISON: False. Drinking cold water can cause a slight increase in calorie burn due to the body needing to warm the water to body temperature. However, it's nowhere near 50 calories. The actual calorie burn is likely to be around 20-30 calories per liter, depending on individual factors.

CRAVINGS AND WHY

Chocolate - Magnesium | Greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains, beans.

Bread - Nitrogen | Obtained from dietary protein, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, grains.

Oily foods - Calcium | Spinach, kale, broccoli.

Cheese - Essential fatty acids | Walnuts, flax oil. Calcium | Broccoli, kale, spinach.

Snacks/Junk food - Unbalanced diet | Water, fruit, vegetables, proteins, fats, carbs.

Pasta - Chromium | Grapes, tomatoes, onion.

Ice - Iron | Red meats, nuts, liver.

Carbonated drinks - Calcium | Spinach, kale, broccoli.

Alcohol - Protein | Beans, meat, eggs. Calcium | Legumes, kale. Potassium | Tomato, banana. Glutamine | Bone broth, beets.

Sugary sweets - Sulfur | Garlic, kale, onion. Tryptophan | Raisins, oatmeal. Chromium | Grapes, tomato, onion. Phosphorus | Lentils, nuts, seeds.

Coffee - Sodium | Sea salt, kombucha. Sulfur | Garlic, kale, onion. Phosphorus | Beans, quinoa, nuts. Iron | Spinach, meat, figs.

Salty snacks - Chloride | Celery, olives, tomatoes. Stress hormones | Vitamins B and C.

7. Certain foods speed up metabolism (see next 'page')

8. Protein burns more calories by digestion than any other type of macro. (20-30%)

9. Protein helps maintain muscle during weight loss. And muscle burns more calories than fat.

100 CALORIES OF METABOLISM BOOSTING FOODS

Lemon (without peel)

Chilli Peppers

Caffeine (black coffee)

Matcha (powder)

Eggs

Ginger

Apple cider vinegar

Beans

Cinnamon

Water

10. 1kg of fat = ~7,000 calories

1lb of fat = ~3,5000 calories

That's how much it takes to gain/lost it.

11. A healthy deficit is up to 500 calories below your TDEE>

12. Never eat below or on your BMR. Your BMR is what you need to function at total rest. (It's what you need in a coma.)

13. After 7 days of fasting, your body is using more muscle for energy than fay. Fasting is useless at that point. REVISION: Partially true. After prolonged fasting (beyond 2-3 days), the body may start breaking down muscle for energy, although this process depends on many factors (hydration, activity level, etc.).

14. Weight training is great for fat loss! Training weights isn't going to make you bulky. It takes ages to do that and loads of training and eating. You'll notice it.

15. You may not notice results at first because your brain is used to seeing a different weight in the mirror. Ignore the mirror. Ignore the scale too (It can't tell you the difference between fat and muscle) and FOCUS ON YOUR MINDSET.

cw: sawsbuck ingo, pokehybrid au, fluff, short

----

“Dearest? May I ask what you are doing?” Ingo felt nervous as you stood on a stool before him to stand above his height. The Sawsbuck hybrid trusted you not to cause him any harm, but his instinctual feelings as a prey animal won out in some way. You hummed playfully and reached a hand to feel the dense foliage that had grown out on his antlers. Summer was here, after all. The flowers had long since fallen from his antlers, and budding leaves instead took over.

“I read that Sawsbuck leaves tend to make wonderful tea leaves,” you told him, feeling a single leaf curiously. “I… I was curious.” Ingo stood quietly in contemplation. That… Sounded oddly pleasant to him. The idea of his body being able to provide you something like that.

“… Oh, I had no idea,” the older twin replied, but recalled a few kids and adults that had asked to harvest some of his leaves, “Take as many you would like.” You smiled and gently worked to pick the leaves off without causing him any pain. You soon had a nice pile developed on a sheet. Humming, you placed it into a bag.

“Well, the next step is to let these dry out,” you explained, “In around three weeks, I'll know just what flavour your tea provides.” Ingo tilted his head. Flavour? He had not even considered that. The poor hybrid could only hope it was a good one.

~

It was with intense anticipation that he watched as you poured hot water over the small mesh bag that held the tea leaves inside. An earthy aroma ruminate around as they steeped along. Ingo still felt extremely nervous. What if he had a bad flavour? There was an odd insecurity in his heart about this. You hummed as you removed the tea bag from the cup, having served its purpose entirely. A light green colour had taken over the once clear liquid.

You hummed excitedly and brought liquid to your lips. He swallowed nervously as you drank down the tea. Your face shifted around in contemplation for a moment.

“Bitter,” you commented, “Herbal, though. A bit minty? Definitely bitter.” Ingo felt mortified. Bitter? He was bitter? His heart hurt. You walked over to him and cupped his face sweetly. “Coffee,” you told him, “You drink a lot of coffee.” Oh, he thought, he did.

“… Ah, so what I ingest effects the flavour of my leaves,” he noted to himself, “I could only imagine how disgustingly sweet Emmet's would be then.” Your eyes darted to another tea bag you had sitting on the counter. “… Beloved, what is that?”

“Emmet tea blend,” you joked, “I wanted to try both of your leaves.”

“… May I try them both, too?” he asked, now curious about the flavours himself.

“Sure, knock yourself out,” you slid the cup of his tea toward him.

He would say that he quite enjoyed the flavours, as opposed to your opinion on it.

Emmet's was a straight glucose drink, however.

The Angel That Set Them Free [TATSTF 3]

Hi. Welcome. Go on. Read it. :)

He plopped down, on the enormous revolving chair, in front of his impeccably shiny mahogany desk, waiting for him, to bang his fists on its top, as he usually did.

But the blow never came.

He sagged into the chair, eyes closed, head resting atop, every single morsel of energy having abandoned him, the moment, he stepped into his shell.

Perhaps, to give up and go to hell, once and for all, is much better than remaining alive and going through this living hell, every single day.

Whilst contemplating it, he took a once-over through his room and instantly knew, that, nothing in this room, would be able to help him.

He closed his eyes and tried to imagine, the reactions from all his dear ones; his mother, his father, his sisters and one hell of a gang of his cousins.

A reminder of his sweet family, brought back, altogether a new trail of memories, spent with them.

Good times.

He felt his lips curling up into a small smile.

They had all, been right after-all. Everyone had warned him, not to commit, the exact same mistake, that, he had made, eventually.

To make Myra, the sole purpose of his existence.

Had been the single most, biggest mistake of his life.

And, perhaps, his last one.

He wondered, whether the girl, he had married, would be sad or whether she would dance away, in pure ecstasy, that, finally she would be free, from this sham of a marriage.

To be honest, he was quite amazed by the level of her tolerance.

He had half-expected her, to leave the penthouse, after the first month and move back to the Raizada Mansion, just so, she would have someone to talk to. But, surprisingly, she had disappointed him.

And, for the first time, it felt good, to be disappointed, with something, he had expected, but didn't happen.

Khushi.

Was her name.

Joy. Happiness.

He had long forgotten, that these emotions too, existed, in the spectrum of human emotions.

He raised himself up, with great difficulty, collecting every ounce of energy left, within him.

He felt ~kind of~ odd to think, how emotional breakdown could drain out, all the glucose, from his body, like literally.

He managed to drag himself into the kitchen and fished out the largest knife, he could find, within his vicinity.

He stared at the red liquid, rapidly bubbling out from the slit, on his left wrist. He felt himself, slowly slipping into darkness, knees dropped down to the floor and he fell flat on the floor, beside a pool of his own blood.

Last, he registered, vaguely, was a cry of a new born, from afar.

P.S. : I know the starting chapters including this one had been somewhat depressing for you to read :/ and even more devastating for me to write :( Believe me. But, I promise good times will definitely come very soon :) So. Howazit? Do tell. Ok. Then. Bye. God bless you.

I was so tired all day until literally 3 hours ago. I hate when that happens. But it wasn't a bad day. Just a sleepy one. With lots of activities still.

I really need to stop staying up scrolling so long but when you can't get comfortable it is really hard to get your brain to turn off. I thankfully only woke up a few times but I had to wake up for real at 645 and I was a little dizzy when my alarm went off. Was not fun but we had things to do.

James has put a sandwich in my purse. And I had already moved everything I needed into there. I also moved the glucose drink into a separate bag with some ice packs so it would remain cold for when I needed to take it st 845.

I was doing alright though. Pushing through. I double checked the instructions and I was allowed to eat breakfast so I had my sandwich in the car on our way to the hospital. We were there more on time then I am comfortable with. And we had to park 4 floors higher then we have before so it was a little nerve wracking for me because I felt like we were running late. Turns out even with the longer walk, elevator, and walking the sky bridge it still only takes about 5 minutes to get to the office so we were still five minutes early.

We only had to wait a few minutes to be taken back. I am not sure if this was a different nurse. She was also blonde and older but seemed shorter than the woman we met with the other day. Still very nice.

And baby was moving so much! It is wild to me that she is barely wiggling right now at home and then when we get there and I get seated in their bed with the straps she's basically kicking me and I love it but also girl why are you stressing me out!

The test went well though. She's my loving good. Practicing breathing. I just continue to be the issue.

We finished up the monitoring and we had a wired gap between this appointment and the next. About a half hour until I had to drink the test liquid and an hour and change until the appointment. James said we should go pick up some groceries. I was a little nervous about the timing but it ended up being fine.

Once we got to the parking lot of the grocery store it was time for the scary liquid. 10oz or this orange flavored glucose drink. And I have heard very mixed things. First that the orange was the best flavor and I'll agree it wasn't bad at all. It was very sweet, but mostly it tasted like a melted popsicle. Slightly syrupy. A little burn at the back of my throat. And while I wouldn't chose to drink it, it wasn't so bad.

I had to finish the whole thing in 5 minutes. I was doing good. Got through half. Giving James commentary the entire time. And then just as I get to the very last sip I gagged and it took everything in me to not throw up. It was terrible! I was choking and coughing and teary eyed. I was so confused! James was laughing. I was laughing. The whole thing was ridiculous. I was fine! And then I was almost taken out. It was wild.

I took a few sips of water and we made our way into the store. I thought I was going to throw up but I was able to walk it off and just enjoyed walking around the grocery store. We found a balloon full of other balloons that I felt akin to. We got our things. Paid. And headed out.

We went to the next appointment. At the regular office. And it was weirdly hot in there and they seemed to be training a bunch of new people. I let them know the time I finished the drink like I was supposed to but then the time was ticking away and I wasn't getting brought back. I was getting really nervous. I didnt want the rest to get messed up because they forgot about me.

3 minutes before the hour timer I told the desk and she was like. Hmm. And called back and a nurse rushed out to get me. The phelbotomist was a little rough but efficient and took 6 vials of my blood. Ouchie.

I would get taken to a room soon. I had two nurses because one was training. We didn't know what one of the medicines on my list was so we took it off but I realized what it was this evening so I'm going to have to have them add that back. It was the heartburn medicine they gave me at the hospital. I'm not taking it all the time but I want it to be an option.

And the appointment went well. We got some information and FAQs about the third trimester. We talked about C-sections and how I will most likely have to be induced at 37 weeks, but could be as early as 36. I really want her born in March. February just feels to early. My original due date was March 29th. It was moved to the 21st. But now it may be somewhere in the first week of March. The doctor said she hopes I will make it to 37 weeks but it's primarily going to do with my health. Because thankfully so far baby is great. Her heartbeat is strong and she is growing like she's supposed to. Let's just hope that I'm alright.

I was ready to go home though. I was tired. It has already been a long morning. We checked out at the front desk and there was some confusion with my upcoming appointments. But once we left the office the woman called me to come back for a referral and she realized I had been right and she was the one confused so everything is fine and I have the appointments all correct. Doing double appointments sure are hard to schedule but we do our best.

We got home soon enough. And once everything was in I just wanted to be comfortable. James got ready for a bike ride. They would be gone for a few hours. And I would rest. I watched videos and just chilled for a while. I heard the street cleaner outside. And then I slept.

I woke up at 1 just before James got home. I felt very dried out and weak. A little shakey. James brought me water and giggled at the lines I had on my legs from the blankets. They would take a shower and I would go downstairs to eat a snack.

Which turned into a bunch nonsense snacks that would upset my stomach. Yogurt. Pretzel sticks. Muffin. Chocolate. All fine but I ate them to quickly and just felt so weak.

We had talked about going to get pizza but I was feeling so bad and was worried that it would make me to full for dinner with the Fulwilers and extended family later on. So I let James know I didn't want to leave the house and instead they made a pizza bagel and I had a vegan fish fillet and we cuddled and it helped me feel a little better. But I was still not feeling very good.

We came upstairs and watched videos together. James held me for a while. But eventually they would leave me alone to rest and try to be okay.

I got dressed again closer to when we planned to leave. James made sure we had gifts. And then we were off.

It was still warm but I probably should have brought a jacket anyway. I would get chilly. But it would be a lovely evening.

I really like James's cousins Drew and Margot. And their parents. This is Tucker's side of the family and it is a different vibe for sure. But no less fun. I always enjoy their company.

There were gifts exchanged. Margot is so sweet and she gave us presents but also got baby Sylvia a gift. We all got wearable blanket hoodies that are so cozy. And they baked us all cookies that they decorated. I love that that is something they always do. They are a really sweet family.

We spent an hour or so eating snacks and telling stories. Charlotte's new boyfriend Jacob came too. And I really like him so it was cool that he was there. We all just chilled and laughed and talked until it was time to go to the reservation.

My dad called me right before we left for dinner and he sounded good. He told me my aunt had gotten hurt but was doing better and I'm very glad. I love my aunt Nadine very much and I want her around for at minimum 20 more years so she's gotta protect that noggin. I also just told him about my appointments and the new time line and all of that. I am feeling pretty positive about everything. Still an underlying nervousness but it's better.

And dinner was so nice. Charlotte and Jacob rode in the car with us. And when we parked there was a fox walking down the street! To fast for us to get a picture but still very cool. And I love eating at The Ambassador. It's absolutely beautiful and the food is fantastic.

It was one of those meals where we are having conversations and fun but then the food comes and it's so good that the conversation basically stops. I was having a lovely evening though and was feeling very happy. It is always really nice to be with good people. And the food was great. I got it a little spicy and it was excellent.

We finished up dinner. Got a picture in front of their Christmas tree. And after hugs and well wishes all around, it was time to go home.

Charlotte and Jacob rode with the Fulwilers this time. And James took me right home. I only felt s little car sick. I think the lights moving from other cars makes it worse for me. My head hurt and I was just s little nauseous. But we got home and brought our gifts inside. Got a correct side parking space. So we don't have to think about it in the morning. Excellent.

James put things away while I went and tried to get the shower to warm up. Which took forever, but I was able to take a pretty pleasant shower after waiting. And now me and James are both in our wearable blankets and Sweetp is here (who got a new lamb chop cat up toy) and he's being so lovey. I feel bad that I'm going to have to move to take this towel off of my hair.

Today was a very good day. I really hope tomorrow, the last day of the year, is good too. I hope you all have a lovely day. Sleep well. And be safe. Goodnight!

[without-it]

ok i lied i love to update u guys. heres updates and general tips and goals for the next fast ❤️

said id wait till thursday but at my core im a little silly guy who loves to lie and tell untruths!! so heres the fasting tea abt wrapping up that last 90 hour fast and starting this one

first off, the refeeding and weight gain update from the two days of eating "normally" : weight update this morning, from my last weigh in on monday, i gained about 1/3 of a pound (i lost just over 10 pounds so really good return) so really happy with that honestly. refeeding is such a huge and often overlooked aspect to fasting, and if its handled wrong it can often negate all ur hard work.

when i refeed i focus on PLAIN low calorie foods. if you end a fast with curry to be perfectly honest ur gonna shit urself to death and have a fucking miserable time lmao. my go to is a PLAIN UNSEASONED steamed veggie dish (usually steamed broc and corn, broc bc low calorie and corn bc i am a corn GIRLIE), and often with miso soup to go with it. unseasoned foods help with the upset tummy after ending a fast, and get ur body used to actually processing glucose again. and miso soup is just a nice low calorie simple food to add some fun into that meal. pls dear god do not eat sweet foods / high salt / high seasoned in general / or heavy meat or sauced dishes as a fast breaking meal. if youve fasted for more than a 4 days im not joking you can literally end up dying from that so just be responsible shawtie damn. (look up refeeding syndrome im not a doctor so im not gonna give u the lowdown)

things to focus on during the fast to help prevent rapid weight gain: drink ur god damn liquids. i dont care if ur getting water in thru diet soda or tea or fizzy water or even coffee. that is water, that is a pro and do not listen to ppl who say that water "doesnt count". when you restrict liquids during a fast you will obvi lose more weight in the short term, but during refeeding if u start drinking normally again (as i really hope u are lmao) you will gain this water weight rapidly. u turned ur body into a desert for a few days, and best believe the second u have more liquid ur body is gonna hang on to that for dear life. its better for u and less stressful in the long run to just keep up ur liquid intake during fasts trust me.

and then this is my go to routine for every fast:

every day i take these suppliments: high strength collagen, iron, zinc, a womens multivit, and the unsung hero of fasting? FIBER TABLETS. bro i can fast for over a week and still not be constipated bc im on my SIGMA FIBER GRINDSET

and then my daily intake: at least a liter of water every day with the "Endura brand low carb sugar free electrolyte drink" (in lemon lime flavor) (i put 2 scoops aka 2 serves per liter of water) the taste is super mid but honestly drinking that every day on my last fast made things such a breeze. literally like no headaches, no cramps, minimal dizziness, and my sleep was mostly uneffected.

then i also have either a can or two of coke zero. yes i know it has 1.1 calories and diet coke would be technically more appropriate for a fast, but i hate diet coke and u will not catch my ass drinking it

and then a cup or two of green tea with a 0 calorie sweetener. no recommendations on the sugar bc honestly i swap between brands depending on whats avail at my grocery store that week lmao.

all this liquid and high variety keeps me kinda full, and provides fun taste enrichment so i dont literally go monkey insane drinking plain water for a week. cool if u can do that but ur literally a psycho and not to be trusted frankly

so current goal is at least lunch time saturday. i have plans to do lunch w my friend but honestly if im not rly hungry then and i wanna keep the fast going im just gonna cancel that lunch or even push it to dinner to just get a few more hours in!

as usual, expect weight updates every morning. the starting situation is: 87kg exactly ( 191.8 pounds) , 20% of my weight loss goal achieved. see yall tmro for the update!

[jennhoney]

So I’m on my sixth continuous glucose monitor sensor today and thought I’d do a report as I had a couple people ask questions. Mine is a Dexcom 7, everybody is different so everybody will have a different experience but here’s how it went for me:

1st (not pictured) Failed in less than six hours (supposed to last 10 days) I did get slightly sweaty it was a 90 degree day. My nightgown strap ripped it out of my arm when I was changing my clothes. The instructions advise not getting ~moist~ for 12 hours. I’m always moist.

Did research and decided to buy skin tac liquid adhesive and skin grip over patches.

2nd (blue) used skin tac and over patch. Went pretty well stayed on full 10 days.

3rd (yellow) used skin tac and over patch. Went pretty well stayed on full 10 days.

4th (purple) tried it without skin tac, just with the over patch and it stayed on the full 10 days but the readings were a bit flaky. There were times when I know my phone was in my pocket, you must always be within 20 feet of a receiver or it has to recalibrate for up to 20 minutes and you can’t get readings while it is recalibrating, but I would get a no signal reading. I’m unsure if it was just a flaky sensor or if the skin tac helped the previous sensors stay in place and have better more continuous readings.

5th (no color because absolute trash) fell off my arm as I was setting the applicator down. I used skin glue even.

6th (black) this one also almost fell off my arm. Used skin glue and over patch. too soon to tell but it has been telling me I’m dying for like two hours now. The instructions say readings can be very inaccurate for the first day. Very true. An alarm is going off about every 10 minutes. It is not a relaxing Saturday.

My overall review is I wish this worked better for me. The first 10 days of readings had me changing my routines (probably for the better???) I cut out my morning sweet cream in my coffee because I saw that I would spike even though it should have been well within my carb limits. And, at least for now as we are testing me out on less meds, I adjust my meals according to the numbers sometimes restricting my carbs severely rather than the diabetic counseling advice of eating about 60 carbs each meal. It’s been helpful to see the continuous data. I didn’t understand that I can fluctuate a lot and that sometimes my body is correcting itself so I don’t necessarily need to correct things with food or meds or more exercise. Mostly though it’s been fucking frustrating. The applicator is difficult for me to administer myself, the back of the arm is an awkward spot to reach alone especially on a week with a non dominant hand (I’ve been switching arms every 10 days but one doesn’t have to). I think the skin glue helps a lot but it is not tinted so good luck lining the applicator up with the applied glue. I tried making a pen drawn circle and applying the glue inside but I have trouble getting adhesive to stick to my skin so ink was having nothing to do with me. Next time I’ll have a sharpie within reach. You really have to think about when a good time is to change the sensor. You won’t have readings while it is calibrating and you wouldn’t want to do one right before bed . If it’s anything like mine you’ll get alarm readings for at least an hour (and this one is going on three hours of alarm readings). I hate finger pricks and before this I thought the CGM would eliminate the need for finger pricks but please know it does not. You still have to carry your blood glucose monitor with you. There will be strange readings with the continuous glucose monitor that you will have to check and you occasionally have to recalibrate with a blood reading. So I’ve been doing less finger pricks which has been a nice break but none of this has been what I imagined it would be. The only thing that I think is a wild success is the Skin Grips they last the full ten days of life and exercise and (occasional) showers and get a little ragged but not too bad. I take a bit of issue with their idea of rainbow but that’s a me problem.

Sugar Defender: A Game Changer for My Blood Sugar Management

I've been battling blood sugar fluctuations for years. The constant highs and lows left me feeling sluggish, irritable, and constantly craving sugary treats. I tried modifying my diet, incorporating more exercise, but achieving consistent blood sugar control remained elusive. That's when I discovered Sugar Defender, and let me tell you, it's been a game changer.

Natural Ingredients, Powerful Effects

Sugar Defender boasts a blend of natural ingredients scientifically chosen to support healthy blood sugar levels. We're talking ingredients like Eleuthero, known for its adaptogenic properties that help the body manage stress, a significant factor in blood sugar spikes. There's also Gymnema Sylvestre, a revered herb in Ayurvedic medicine with research suggesting it may support healthy glucose metabolism. Additionally, the formula includes chromium, a mineral that enhances insulin sensitivity, allowing your body to utilize blood sugar more effectively.

Beyond Blood Sugar Support

What truly impressed me about Sugar Defender is its well-rounded approach to blood sugar management. It goes beyond simply regulating blood sugar spikes. The natural blend also promotes sustained energy levels throughout the day. Gone are the afternoon crashes I used to experience.

Ana Tips

Fasting is hard.. but black coffee can make it easier! It reduces appetite and makes you feel fuller! I understand it is not tasty or the best thing in the world to some people. I can teach you how to change that!

Step one:

Purchase any zero calorie sugar, for example, stevia. Stevia will not break the state of ketosis during fasting. ("Ketosis is the metabolic state that occurs when your body burns fat for energy instead of glucose.")

Start by adding two packets to your black coffee. This should make it taste sweeter and make it a lot more enjoyable cold or hot.

Step two:

Gradually go down to less stevia (liquid or regular) than you added before. I used two small sugar packets. I put one instead of two into my coffee at first. It was not as sweet anymore but it wasn't disgusting.

Step three:

Next try not to put any of the sugar in. For me, I did prefer it with the sugar (just one packet) but I decided that plain black coffee was better for me and also cheaper. Fake sugar is bad for you so you should try to drink coffee without it. But if you prefer the sugared coffee better you do you! I add to my coffee sometimes as a sweet treat.

I hope this helps! Have a wonderful day.

From Flower to Jar: The Amazing Process of Honey Making by Bees

On a warm spring day, as flowers burst into bloom, bees buzz from flower to flower, their tiny bodies a blur of activity. They're not just creating a beautiful scene; they're busy collecting nectar, the raw material for honey. Honey, nature's sweet gift, is packed with nutrients and flavor. But how do bees turn nectar into the sweet, golden honey we love? Let's take a peek into the bees' world and uncover the magic of honey making. Nectar Collection: It all starts with the worker bees, the female bees that are the hive's foragers. Armed with a long, straw-like tongue called a proboscis, they suck nectar from flowers. A single bee might visit hundreds of flowers on a single trip. Nectar, a sugary liquid, is the flower's way of attracting pollinators. It's mostly water and sucrose, with a dash of other sugars, amino acids, and minerals. Ingestion and Transformation: Once a bee's honey stomach (or crop) is full—up to 70mg of nectar—it heads back to the hive. On the way, an enzyme called invertase gets to work in the bee's stomach, breaking down the sucrose into simpler sugars like glucose and fructose. Regurgitation and Evaporation: Back home, the worker bee regurgitates the nectar into the mouth of a house bee. The house bee then spreads the nectar in thin layers inside the honeycomb cells. By fanning their wings, the bees create a breeze that helps evaporate the water. Nectar starts with about 70-80% water, but the bees reduce it to 18-20% through this process. Ripening and Sealing: As the water evaporates and the sugar concentration rises, the honey thickens. The bees keep adding enzymes, enhancing the honey's flavor and chemistry. Once it's just right, they seal the honeycomb cells with a wax cap, made by special glands on their bodies. This sealed honey is stored as food for the colony, especially for the cold winter months when flowers are scarce. Wuhu Deli Foods Co., Ltd.: Your Source for Pure Honey: At Wuhu Deli Foods Co., Ltd., we're all about bringing you the best honey. We source our honey from pristine environments where bees can thrive. We ensure every step, from the bees' hard work in the fields to our careful extraction and packaging, meets the highest quality standards.
