4. How To Quit Nicotine

For a number of years, the founder of FlowBlend worked with people as a health coach focusing on Ketosis and living a low carb, fat adapted lifestyle. The reason he fell in love with this lifestyle is because of his own journey. 

When FlowBlend was being formulated, the founder wanted to be sure that anyone using FlowBlend would be able to maintain steady insulin levels, therefore making it useful for diabetics and people interested in ketosis. He started with the premise that Fat is the most ideal source of energy for our body.

Did you know that our body stores only one days’ worth of energy in glucose reserves; while someone with a healthy body fat percentage can store 1-2 months of energy in fat? One day versus two months! We are built to be fat burning machines.

The primary ingredient FlowBlend uses to moisten their pouches is MCT oil, aka Multi-Chain Triglycerides. MCT is a type of fat molecule that is easily broken down by the liver and is almost instantaneously used in the brain for energy. MCT also helps stimulate our fat metabolism, so anyone attempting to upregulate their fat burning genes and get some of the positive effects of ketosis will benefit from the intake of MCT oil.  

Anyone dealing with Diabetes or interested in Ketosis will want to know, how are the pouches sweetened? Could we sweeten the pouches without sugar, aspartame, or sucralose? Spiking our insulin levels is the fastest way to get kicked out of ketosis, or to shut down the fat burning system. If our goal was to create a ‘healthy pouch’ we had to find something better than these classic sweeteners. Luckily, we knew just where to look.

One of the tried and true sweeteners the founder uses personally and recommended to anyone he worked with, is pure organic Stevia. Stevia leaf extract is a powerful natural sweetener that has virtually no impact on insulin levels, making it a safe sweetener for those working to enter or stay in ketosis.

FlowBlend also included Xylitol, which is a type of natural sugar alcohol that has a very small impact on blood sugar. Xylitol is widely used by diabetics and works great for those in ketosis. We added Xylitol for two reasons, first was to balance out the aftertaste that some people notice with Stevia, and second was because of its awesome history preventing tooth decay and strengthening tooth enamel. Most people switching from chewing tobacco or cigarettes have spent years with the negative effects of tobacco on their teeth and gums, we wanted to help that.

“Will this interrupt my ketogenic state?” Is a question someone in ketosis asks over and over when encountering something new. Usually to stay in ketosis a person has a very narrow window of approved foods. 

We would love to be able to claim that you can use FlowBlend pouches and maintain ketosis. 

The truth is that each one of us reacts differently to what we put in our bodies. For some, just smelling food can increase glucose levels in our bodies causing an insulin spike. The only way to know for sure if you can use these pouches (or any other ‘keto friendly’ product) and stay in ketosis is to monitor your ketone levels before and after using a pouch while being in ketosis. 

FlowBlend pouches are designed to be Keto friendly, in that they are very low in carbohydrates and high in good fats. The average FlowBlend pouch has less than a 1/10^th of a gram of a carbohydrate.

When we say that we are focused on offering a healthy alternative, we mean it. That’s why our pouches are loaded with natural herbs and supplements, natural sweeteners, and have a low glycemic impact. FlowBlend is made to help you feel great and break the cycle.

FlowBlend looks at pouches as not only a dipping substitute, but a new way of optimizing the mind and body. Need to quickly boost focus and reaction times? FlowBlend has a pouch for that. Need to increase energy during the mid-day slump? FlowBlend has a pouch for that. Need to just chill? You guessed it, FlowBlend has a pouch for that.

If you are attempting to break free from the grasp of Nicotine, then this section is written for you. Chances are that if you have been using nicotine for any length of time you know how hard it is to quit. There are some people who can use it on a whim, and then put it down for as long as they like. Then there are those of us who go hard at whatever we do, and if we are using nicotine, we do it all the way.

Have you put down Nicotine, wishing to quit, only to wind up sitting in a gas station parking lot arguing with yourself 24 hours later? Addiction is a biochemical and mental game. To eventually win, we must come at it from both avenues.

FlowBlend is only a tool, but an effective one. Imagine digging a hole, without a shovel. Could you do it? Yeah, but it would be a pain in the ass without the tool. Just like building a house without a hammer, or flipping a pancake without a spatula. FlowBlend is just a tool to help you get the job done.
