New contender: Onions


Posts: 769

As people probably know, I follow a ketogenic diet. I've been following it since I was 19 or 20, more or less. I eat less than around 20g net carbs per day, except when its someone's birthday or something.

More recently, I've been cooking a simple breakfast: One chicken breast, one egg, olive oil, some leafy green, one tomato, heat it, eat it. I tried adding half an onion into it a few times. What I noticed was an immediate effect, I slept like a baby.

Ive had some sleep problems where I wake up at 3 or 4 am in the morning, and then go out for a walk. However, I started to notice that on my onion days, I sleep really, really soundly.

I've started to eat the same thing for breakfast more often now, and I fucking love the taste of onions. I dont use seasoning in my food, so the onions really add a lot of taste. They taste like orgasm in my mouth.

However, I recently googled it, and they have some carbs. I'm a bit at a loss. I dont want to eat carbs, but onions are so good I'm losing my mind. Plus I get amazing sleep.

Im at a loss. Maybe I'll have an onion quota.

Onions are worth it.

It’s 10g of carbs for a  regular sized whole onion, as a type 1 diabetic I don’t consider onions when I take insulin. Also feel like mentioning that most Hispanics don’t know how to spell onion in Spanish (pronunciation is misleading).

Onions are worth it.

I cooked them in olive oil just now. Amazing.

When I eat a lot of carbs, after like 2 weeks I start to feel like shit. Im out of energy and my mood is in the toilet levels. 

10g is quite a lot. Maybe I can do half an onion per day.

They taste great, but my stomach has other opinions.
