Nurofen Zavance - Contains Sucrose
Rookie Error
Electrolytes weren't helping my headache so I reached for the trusty nurofen
Wasn't until I swallowed that the sweet taste shocked me back into reality
Clear on the side of the pack "contains Sucrose" - Ugh.
I'm not worried about being kicked outta ketosis over it, because it won't be enough to do that, but just a PSA to all of you who might not have considered it before, like me.

I've heard that cough and cold medicines are the worst - the lozenges and syrups contain sugar as much as any other active ingredients. No idea what I'll do when my next cold hits...
Difflam has a throat spray that's way more effective than lozenges or cough syrups imo. Ginger and lemon slices in hot water are also very soothing on a sore throat.
There's a product called Sambucol which is a liquid cold and flu relief thing, all it contains is basically ultra concentrated elderberry juice. It's pure sugar.. absolute joke.
I used to love Sambucol. I was trying to find out if the tablet version was any better but I think I gave up.
Yeah I’ve been avoiding those, didn’t even think about the nurofen at all
There are a few sugarfree lozenge options...they’re all a bit gross though and you have to be careful how many you have or else you’ll have another issue on your hands
