Keto Day 23 of 30

Today was good. Felt good – digestion was back to normal – and although I was starving cstartung at 4pm and continuing until my second snack, life was fine.

Breakfast

Vanilla chia smoothie.


Lunch

Back to my big salads! The last of the chicken breast (good thing too, the chicken was on its way out), Rosemary dressing, mixed greens & hemp hearts.


Dinner

I’ve been suuuuuuper productive all day and have done little but watch YouTube. It’s been a Texan In Tokyo kind of day and I was feeling Japanese.

Made this quick bonito broth, steamed cauliflower & frozen spinach soup with pan-seared salmon and sesame oil drizzle.


Snack

Lemon fat bombs right after dinner


Then sunbutter fat bombs after yoga.

Bonito 

Keto Day 22 of 30

Today was full of willpower triumph.

Breakfast

Today’s smoothie was chocolate sun butter. I missed my spinach.


Lunch

Totally forgot to take a picture, but today I had a lunch meeting at an Indian buffet. Normally, I’d be reaching for the naan basket and all up in a plate of every variety of non-lentil dish available. With a tiiiiiny side of rice.

And gulab(sp) – the dessert that looks like a doughnut hole swimming in syrup.

But not today.

Today, I stuck to tandoori chicken, a vegetarian spicy cabbage side, and the iceburg salad. I ate way too much protein, and most likely a little too many carbs given my breakfast smoothie, but damn it was delicious. 

Delicious, but TMI – my digestive system was not prepared for the level of spice and restaurant-ness of the food.

Dinner

I was supposed to have a non-fairly Keto waffle & pork Rind crusted chicken sandwich, but I had no more protein left in my macros, and the batter got stuck in the waffle iron – so I had pancakes with butter. The pic is the DH’s dinner – complete with the chicken.


Snack

Had planned to have some lemony fat bombs, but was not hungry after all.

Union Square station.

Keto Day 21 of 30

Today was fine. No health issues and I was mostly not hangry.


Breakfast

Another green smoothie variation. I should really round up my faves for a recipe post.

Lunch

A Big Ass Salad of: Italian mix greens, baby spinach, a little cruciferous crunch, green onions, sliced chicken breast, hemp hearts & creamy Rosemary dressing. Delicious.

Dinner

Made a quick little dinner of more sliced chicken, frozen broccoli & a hand full of chopped pecans cooked in bacon fat and butter. 

Apparently, all I want to eat on keto is chicken & broccoli and chicken & guac. I’m cool with this.

Snack

Sun Butter Fat Bombs

Keto Day 20 of 30

Today was good. Had a bit of nausea because I layed in bed too late without eating breakfast, but other than that I felt fine.
Breakfast

1/4 cup macadamia nuts & coffee.
Lunch

Went to one of our favorite brunch/lunch spots and got a veggie omelette with sliced tomatoes on the side and coffee. 



Dinner
Another guac & chicken bowl – this time with some crazy good fresh kraut we grabbed at a food/craft fair.

Snack

Made another type of fat bomb – Sunflower seed butter.

Also had 1/4 cup raw almonds.

One Hanson

Keto Day 19 of 30

Today was good, despite deciding to go grocery shopping at the crappy and always full of shenanigans grocery store – the Saturday before Thanksgiving – during a .99 a pound turkey sale.

I was quite proud of myself for remaining calm the entire hour and a half I was at the store, battling through the aisles and wandering in circles looking for things I don’t normally buy in the center aisles. 

I also felt fine today, if a bit hungry all day.
Breakfast

1/4 cup macadamia nuts + coffee with stevia because I was out of almond milk. 

I also had a mug of bone broth before venturing out.

Lunch

Hit my favorite neighborhood BBQ joint for some smoked brisket, smoked chicken, and sautéed collards.

Dinner

Spent the whole time at the grocery trying to think of something for dinner. Didn’t work. I came home and grabbed some leftover cheese dogs, frozen broccoli and butter.

Snack

Had a 3 carb cafe misto with almond milk from Starbucks while walking in the little sunshine we had today.

And a 1 ounce meatball after dinner while waiting for my new lemony fat bombs to harden.

Plus a fat bomb when they were ready.
