June 1, 2019 Meetup Recap

We had 21 Ketonians attend the June 1, 2019 meetup held at the Brookdale Library in Brooklyn Center. There were a few new faces as well as several returning members.

Small Talk

We had small talk for a few minutes while people gathered.

Introductions

We each introduced ourselves and answered the question: What is a recent keto success?

Several items were mentioned including:

  • Feeling better

  • Improved acid reflux

  • Being able to eat homemade butter when still having an intolerance for commercial butter.

Announcements

Next meetups will be:

  • July 6 - Plymouth Library Meeting Room

  • August 3 - Location TBD

The Adapt Minnesota keto event will be held in White Bear Lake on June 20. Tickets still available.

We are hoping to have a Pot Luck Picnic which will include a Pig Roast. It will likely be sometime in August / September and most likely have a cost around $15 per person.

Main Topic / Additional Discussion

  • There was talk about Keto MinneFest and the Lakes Area Low Carb Event that occurred in May. Both were great events.

  • Presentation - Katie gave a presentation (click here for a PDF) that includes some of the information that she will be presenting at Adapt Minnesota.

    • Recommend not using the word “Keto” with medical professionals. Discuss more about low-carb or cutting out sugars, or eating real foods.

    • Recommends Squatty Potty and pay attention to your stools, should be pooping every day. Find out what is causing the problem.

    • Coca Pulse Test - take pulse for 60 seconds right away in morning, put item on your tongue. Retake the pulse again, if it goes up 6-10 pulses after 2 minutes of putting test food on tongue, then you are likely sensitive to the food.

    • Mind Body Bookclub (on Facebook) - they cover different topics each month. August 10th at Keg and Case (Forest to Fork). Will read a foraging book and discuss. She usually has an expert come for the topic as well.

  • Charlie shared his recent experience making butter from unpasteurized cream

    • Put heavy cream in food processor and let it churn for 4-5 minutes.

    • Drain off butter milk

    • Wash butter, add salt if desired
