    Are pickled veg ok?

    I thought I knew all ketosis safe stuff but noticed sns allow gherkins and olives, so would pickled cabbage and vinegar be ok? I'm unsure about acid it does something to digestion doesn't it? Or is citric acid not allowed for specific reason like sugar content?



    Mini Goals:
    *Get back in the zone!
    I think I'm there
    *Get back under 12 stone
    *Get under 11 stone by June
    *Get under 10 stone before holiday in August and stay there!
    *Defeat the demon that made me fat, forever!

    Citric acid isn't allowed because it knocks some people out of ketosis. Other acid is ok. The thing to watch with pickled vegetables is for added sugar - lots of them have sugar added and you don't want that. Otherwise it should be ok.
    Reached goal of 130 lbs to lose.

    On maintenance I'm a little higher than I would like to be...

    that's good, I'll check our gherkins, we pickle cabbage at work so that should be ok.
    what about general vinegar? I can imagine balsamic is too sugary
