What did you eat today?
I'd put a couple of garlic, herb and lemon flavoured blobs of butter inside the fish. It did not look that dark in reality, more like a burned butter color, maybe picked up a remnant of blood from the (scraped out and rinsed out ) blood vein. I overcooked the fish a little. 35 mins instead of 25.Quote: GWAEThanks OD. Is there something in the fish? Looks dark on the left hand side.
Glad to see your weight loss progressing. Maybe room for some fish or veggie ideas. I recommend the bell pepper with sliced tomatoes, anchovies, garlic and olive oil, if that's not too carb rich. Tasty as hell.
Quote: billryanI find it difficult to find anything about pork rinds healthy.
I give myself a free dinner every ten days, and a free day every 31st of the month.
A mini vacation of sorts.
The last time this coincided, I was excited about it for days ahead of time. This time I didn't even notice it until dinner.
Yeah they were not good at all

Nothing about pork rinds is healthy, they just don't have many carbs. Do you literally do the 31st or is it the last day of the month?
I had to order it cuz 25 cents of the price is donated to fight hunger. How could I not? ;)
I think Nathan had the same exact thing as you did.Quote: LoneStarLylaWell earlier I had a big slice of Very Cherry Ghiradelli Chocolate Cheesecake. Just sinful. Lol. And I eat very healthy.

Wash that down with a nice refreshing coca-cola or Pepsi. You have been doing so good and now you should reward yourself with whatever you like the most. I'm fairly certain that's what diets are all about. Eat food that is good for you but doesn't taste that great so you can reward yourself and load up on the good/bad stuff.Quote: GWAETonight's keto dinner
Made taco salad and a keto wrap made with pork rinds and cream cheese. Made a chalupa like item.
sour cream? That can't be good for any diet.

Yes it's very possible. Today is National Cheesecake Day. Lot's of happy faces. ;)
Quote: LoneStarLylaToday is National Cheesecake Day.
you got me on that one.
Here are a couple of my favorites.
Broccoli salad. Chop up broccoli florets and mix in dried cranberries, sunflower seeds. Add a mixture of light mayo with balsamic vinegar and a pinch of sugar and cayenne. Whisk until a liquid consistency. Don't go overboard with the Mayo mixture just enough to coat the florets. So tasty and satisfying and very healthy for you. Can eat as much as you want. Great for your shi%= the next day too!
Chic pea / cucumber salad - mixed together can of chickpeas, sliced cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers, sliced Kalamata olives.... you can add a few diced pieces of a firm cheese if you like. Add some olive oil and balsamic vinegar with pinch of salt and pepper and cayenne to taste. Tasty, fulfilling, healthy, and lots of protein.
Quote: WatchMeWinThere are tons of ways you can eat very healthy while eating foods that taste great and are very satisfying.

that broccoli salad is one of my favorite picnic dishes. I like to add cauliflower in there as well.

I buy daisy low fat sour cream. It actually isn't very bad at all for any diet.
Fresh from the village chippy:-
Fish, chips and mushy peas with the obligatory buttered bread to make the chip butties and mug of tea to wash it down.
This was an absurdly large portion and I didn't eat all the chips.
Do you guys get 'malt vinegar'? It's barely available on the European mainland and I think it might be a particularly British thing.

Talk about a stereotypical meal
Absolutely $:o) The sort of thing we'd have once every one or two weeks. The single 'portion' that I bought tonight, fed 3 of us and some got thrown away. It used to be a cheap staple takeaway meal, but the price of fish has shot up in recent years. Definitely what we would have if we are on 'a day out to the seaside.'Quote: GWAEQuote: OnceDearFish again tonight... But not at all the low-carb healthy version...

I like chips, but only when dipping them in sour cream and onion dip. I like fries with mayo and ketchup.

I'm surprised that the mushy peas haven't caught on big time here in the United States. They look very appealing.
LOL. I'm not surprised. Mostly bought from the chippy as an accompaniment, they are usually horridly grey from overcooking. The canned variety tend to be overly green because of colorings.Quote: PuckerbuttI'm surprised that the mushy peas haven't caught on big time here in the United States. They look very appealing.

Rookie mistake.
Fat, in itself, is not bad for you. And on Keto, you NEED fat.
Non and low fat stuff has a bunch of weird chemicals in it.
Lastly, sour cream is gross.

I was going to buy full fat sour cream but we always buy light anyways so I just stuck with that.
Od, the only thing good your country has done for me is fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding.
And you just self excluded from both. Oh hum... more for me.Quote: GWAEOd, the only thing good your country has done for me is fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding.
Brisket, ribs, and broccoli. I splurged a little tonight on bbq sauce but was still only at 9 carbs
I had bran flakes and milk.
Flaxseed Bread and cream cheese with tomatoes.
Then I passed out/fell asleep (not sure which).
More bread and cream cheese/tomatoes. Some vitamin capsules.
Water.
Tea Dinner was this bad boy of a fry up.
The green bits were baby leeks. A quirky addition.
Eggs for breakfast, ribs for lunch (I scraped the bbq sauce off) and below for dinner.
No. It's 2 rashers of fairly lean bacon, 2 eggs, handful baby tomatoes, 5 baby leeks chopped, half slice of bread fried in olive oil and a small can of baked beans. All washed down by the mandatory mug of tea.Quote: GWAEOd is that ham?
I recommend you watch the youtube vid in the other thread. It does not deride keto or any other kind of diet, but it does put calorie counting in its place.
Is that one of yesterday's sausages :o)
Quote: OnceDearLooks good, but what's the white stuff,? rice?
Is that one of yesterday's sausages :o)
New sausage. Cooked on stove instead of grill.
White stuff is cauliflower rice
I'm kind of slightly allergic to artificial sweeteners, can't stand them. I'll never eat or drink anything out on the market now, which is good, because I'm convinced those drinks make people fat. Obese fat. Noticeably obese.Quote: WatchMeWinThis woman had it all figured out. I recall going to a fast food joint years ago after a night of drinking and all sorts of no good. I believe we were at a Wendy's. The woman was in front of me placing her order. She was about 5'4" and weighing in at approximately 250 lb.
She ordered a chicken cheese sandwich with light mayo but extra cheese, large fries... No make that medium fries with a side of cheese sauce please, and a Coke... No no no please make that a Diet Coke she barked.
I presume somewhere today that she is well on her way to 300 lbs, but thankfully she is not at 350 lb due to the diet coke discipline.
Lil mimolette cheese went great with the sausage.
Are you being serious? It was tomatoes, eggs, beans, bread, bacon, leeks and not rice. In what way are carbs unhealthy? I'm not doing keto. This is not the health and weight loss thread.Quote: RSTomatoes, rice, beans, and bread?!! All in one meal? Incredibly unhealthy, those all have carbs!!!!!!!
OK. Let's play spot the carbs* in tonight's feast. Salad with attitude:-
Seared tuna, yellow bell pepper, grated carrot, lettuce, bean sprouts, sliced leeks, mushrooms*, baby tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, pickled onion, boiled egg, and tonight's mystery guest: Two chopped anchovy fillets. All drizzled with a simple mix of olive oil and lemon juice.
It was a monster plateful and left me quite full. Washed down with very diluted blackcurrent squash.
*Yes there were some carbs. I'm not on Keto.
** Who's going to be first to say 'Raw mushrooms on a salad? Yuck. The dirty b45t4rd'
This photographing my food has a purpose: It helps me think ahead and focus on my choices.

Maybe GWAE would like to try the same. Consider it a gift from me to him. The tiny slivers of anchovy made it, Every forkful was a tastebud surprise, I completely forgot the leftover sweetcorn and peas in the fridge.
Hmmmmm. what to plan for tomorrow. I'm thinking something with chicken...... Oh I know..... Mohammed's Mum's Jeera Chicken. I'll post up the secret recipe. That too is probably Keto compliant and bloody fantastic. OMG, my mouth is frothing up thinking about it.
GWAE, this is what you'll need....
1 whole medium chicken, fresh.
1 medium onion.
1 or 2 medium hot red chilli
1 or 2 medium hot green chilli
4oz butter. You can use metric butter if you wish.
1 level tablespoon whole jeera seeds (cumin)
1/2 level teaspoon ground jeera (cumin powder) optional.
2 cloves garlic.
Large pan with lid.
a couple of hours.
It's NOT overly spicy. Trust me.
*I LOVE MUSHROOMS raw or cooked. . . And no. I don't wash or peel the blighters.
I love raw mushrooms but only the whitecaps or whatever they are called. I am not a fan of the other weird mushrooms.
When I used to work night shifts, one of my colleagues, a guy of Persian origin, used to bring in jeera chicken that we'd all feast on. It was bl006y delish and we all used to look forward to having a shift coincide with his. I got him to get me the recipe off his mum, before he left. Simple and cheap to make, you can have it as a supper time treat on its own, or could serve as a side dish to an Indian or Persian feast. It is NOT overly spicy. The amount of butter that goes into it is ridiculous. I think the orig recipe called for 8 oz $:o) You can cook, chill and microwave it later.Quote: GWAEI will try it. I am glad you put cumin in parenthesis cause I had no idea.

Mushrooms are a wonder food. But you should wash because sometimes there is fungus on them.
This sounds great. What kind of chili's you use? They vary a lot in size and stuff.
But I found these which are fried in pork fat, making them extremely healthy.
What could possibly be unhealthy about that?
Quote: RigondeauxMushrooms are a wonder food. But you should wash because sometimes there is fungus on them.

Mushrooms on general sale in the UK and EU are generally considered very safe. Most come from Poland.
Eaten raw, they release very few nutrients because of their thick cell walls, so excellent filler on a salad.
The chilli's, : I usually buy a small pack of 3 or 4 mixed chillis each of roughly large finger size.
Recipe and instructions to follow.

I buy these from Walmart. They are pretty good.

GWAE, this is what you'll need....
Right... Previously from memory, I got the ingredients a bit wrong.
Here it is straight from the hand-written recipe from Mohammad's Mum
1 Whole oven ready chicken chopped into roughly 1 inch chunks. Bone and skin on. Obviously throw away the spine which is just bone.
1 whole small garlic BULB ( skinned )
1 smallish onion. ( or half a large one )
4 - 6 finger sized chilies. ( I use half red, half green)
2 heaped teaspoons cumin seeds
2 oz of butter.
1 level teaspoon of salt
Chop the chilies, onion and garlic finely, especially the chilies and garlic.
Heat a large flat cooking pot, which has a lid, and add the butter
As butter is melting, add the chilies. onions and garlic
Stir well until butter is melted and very hot.
Add the cumin seeds and salt.
Stir well for a minute or so then add all the chicken pieces.
Stir well to coat the chicken.
Leave to cook for 40 minutes on low to medium heat, with the lid on. Stir, just once or twice to keep the chicken coated and stop it burning.
The chicken will release it's own water, which will help to effectively steam the meat.
Serve warm as finger food. You can chill it and microwave later, up to the next day.
Enjoy. I plan to make this tomorrow.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-truth-about-fats-bad-and-good
There is a common sense element to this. We ate stuff for many thousands of years and obesity was rare.
We changed our diet a few decades ago and now you can't walk down the street without seeing someone at 2x their ideal weight. And its getting worse. You see little kids who are blimps all the time.
So what did we change? It wasn't that people just started eating animal fats. That was the stuff we ate before.
If you didn't read the article Gamerfreak posted about the propaganda campaigns of the sugar industry, it's pretty good.
