This is also what I discovered. That a lot of what I like about beer and soft drinks is the carbonation, so having carbonated (calorie-free) water has similar satisfaction.

I’ve found this to work for me incredibly well. Even just “club soda” fulfills 90% of the “cravings” I might have for a beer or soft drink. The other 10% I am probably actually hungry and just not realizing it.

I was shocked that my continuous glucose monitor showed a huge spike for popcorn without butter. Last time I had it.

Carbs like popcorn that dissolve in your mouth are very close to being cotton candy.

Cool idea. For the sake of being pedantic: > The whole bowl has fewer calories than two slices of garlic bread Really? Idk what the sizes are, but I looked up the weight of one of those micro wave popcorn packages, which usually fill the bowl we have at home. That seemed to be 100g, which is about ~350 kcal not including oil/butter. I'm getting about ~275 for 100g of bread, which is more than two slices. That's about…

I should have included the following information in the blog post (will update it later!):

I usually have:

- 45g of air popped popcorn (64 calories).

- 5 to 10g of butter (37 - 74 calories).

- couple of garlic cloves (10 cals).
