Will the host kik me out of Ketosis???
 

I am on my 2nd day of Kekwik fat fast and i just went to church and had the host!..
Will it have messed up my ketosis?

Not if you're Catholic :D

What is the host?

Hi Ruth

The Host is the wafer that Catholics eat at communion. I'm not Catholic so that's about all I know about it maybe someone else can tell you more.

I would guess that a really small wafer would probably not be a problem diet-wise but if it's a large wafer it could be problematic. If it's "bite sized" then it's probably fine.

Besides, remember that this is a way of life (WOL), not a "diet." If going to Church and taking the host is important to you spiritually, then I wouldn't recomend abandoning it. It's part of your life.

Now, if there's a huge potluck after services are over, THAT'S when you need to exibit self control!

no you are ok just have the one the priest gives you and you are fine

Okay, I posted about this when I started and WOW did I tick folks off. It got a whole religious debate started. Bottom line? It didn't kick me out of ketosis. I never really found out how many carbs are in the body of christ, but apparently it's not many.

as a catholic, i don't even DARE say what i am tempted to say...

I'm Anglican, and the host dosn't bother my ketosis, either, nor does the sip of wine.

Ditto for this Lutheran.

I'm on the Altar Guild and those wafers are very light. An entire roll of them weighs practically nothing. I'd guess 1 gram of carb for a wafer, surely no more than 2. From the shipping information on a couple of sites, we're talking less than 2 grams of shipping weight per wafer, and some of that is gluten.

When I asked this question in June, after the religious debate settled down, someone said this:

"The exact amount of carbohydrates in communion bread can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. Some denominations use only unleavened bread in small wafers. In these cases the amount of carbohydrates per wafer is approximately 2-3. Grape juice or wine adds another 1-2 carbohydrates, making the total only 3-5 carbohydrates per communion."

lol.. At church last week i threw the comunion (juice and bread) in the trash. I acted like i took it but i didnt,. I hope i dont burn in hell.. OMG!!! Kidding.. God understands.. besides comunion isnt about actually eating and drinking,,,, know what i mean?

As a non-believer I also think I'll keep my comments to myself. :) But damn, they were funny. :lol:
