    Earlier in the day, maybe 2pm, I had some corned beef from the
    deli. It could have been that but I doubt it.

    Overall for the day, depending on whether there were a few carbs in
    the corned beef (which I doubt), I stayed between 20 and 25 carbs
    for the day.

    The corned beef may have more carbs than you think. I've bought
    corned beef in a bag that you cook at home, and some has injected
    sugar solution and some doesn't. Almost any processed meat will have
    some carbs in it, though it may round down to 0g/serving.

    I'd agree that the bloated feeling more likely came from the peanuts,
    though. I get the same thing, but it usually doesn't hit me unless I
    have them a few days in a row.

    A guy I know tried non-alcoholic beer, and he said he could tell a
    difference, that it wasn't as good. Maybe the alcohol has some
    effect.

    Maybe NA Beer just isn't as good? I've done it with fruit juices, so
    I don't think it's the alcohol.

    Yesterday I found what might be one of those "intolerances" of which you
    speak. Around 6pm I had two small bags of peanuts, 5 carbs ea. By 10:30 I
    felt bloated and had to let my belt out a notch. This morning my physical
    weight was up 2.5 pounds from yesterday. (Water. I know)

    I like to do a "3 strikes and you're out" plan to confirm an
    intolerance. Now that you think peanuts are a suspect,
    avoid them for a month or two then try them again under
    different circumstances. Then another month or two later
    a third attempt. By then you can be quite certain.

    Be aggressive/conservative about what you suspect; be
    cautious/experimental about what you know. Start with a
    guess but figure at least some of your guesses are going
    to be wrong.

    It's a principle that goes all through the Atkins process.
    Start out very low then move up until you fall out of ketosis
    to find your CCLL - Start conservative and experiment to
    find your custom ideal intake. Start out with a very restricted
    list of allowed foods then add one back in using the carb
    ladder and watch for ill effect - Start conservative and
    experiment to find your food intolerances. Both halves of
    the system assume that pre-conceived notions aren't the
    way to find your ideal foods and that experiment is the way.
