[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741098, member: 18958"] For breakfast I eat yogurt with walnuts. Or if I have made them I eat Keto muffins which are delicious: eggs, cheddar cheese--in the blender with a little half and half, and chopped vegetables added after(usually I used sautéed spinach) but others use mushrooms, peppers, etc. cooked first. (You can use leftover vegetables from dinner.) Chop the vegetables. Use mini muffin tins greased (or sprayed). Cook in preheated oven at 350 degrees. The time depends upon how big are your muffin tins. These keep easily for 4 days. I can eat them all day. The proportions are flexible. For 5 eggs I use a splash of cream, a little salt, a big chunk of cheddar which I add to the blender in a few pieces. I prefer them cold. M does not like them with the spinach so I make some for him that way. He carries them to work and munches on them. They are done when a couple of them puff up like soufflé. For mini muffins I do 15 minutes or so. So. My breakfast is either yogurt or these. Nomad. That is my breakfast. Sometimes I forget to eat. I just have coffee with cream. And if I remember to eat I eat a tablespoon of almond butter. Or a small handful of walnuts. My appetite is much decreased without the carbs. I truly think I eat from real hunger as opposed to craving. For lunch, if I had the egg things, I will eat cottage cheese or yogurt. Or sometimes I have a steak (for breakfast or lunch). I am usually a big big salad eater but for some reason my craving for raw vegetables has decreased. I eat roasted vegetables. Like roasted peppers. Or roasted carrots. Or roasted cauliflower. I love those. Or sautéed spinach with garlic. Or my very favorite of all: green beans stewed in olive oil and lots of garlic. All of those are okay. I eat avocado. You will see that carrots and peppers have carbs, but my view is that letting myself have them serves my health and happiness and so it is worth it. (I don't remember if I at carrots the first 10 days. I may not have.) Especially if I am doing other things good, like stopping eating early in the day. Eating after dinner is NO GOOD. Nothing. Except I do have milk in my tea. On most days I doubt if I eat 900 calories. Yesterday I had a splurge day. I went to a café and had a big cookie. On the train I had wine. At home I ate a small baguette and 5 oz of lox. And I was okay with it. I felt polluted but went right back to eating Keto today. Today I ate: a few walnuts. And a steak. That is all I wanted. And coffee with cream. But yesterday I went crazy with the bread. Maybe my body is using the glucose stored from that splurge. In the way I did this at first I deliberately stopped eating at 2. That was extreme. I do not eat dinner with M *or any other meal at home. Strangely. I cook FOR HIM. But they are typically meals I do not much like. So that simplifies things. But we eat early. He likes to eat by 4. So cutting off eating at 4 would be great too. You could eat big salads, with tuna. You can eat some beans. I eat Hummus. I like it with red peppers. I am a big olive eater. I would eat olives and feta with a salad and chicken. For me it is easier to make my food universe small. That is what I do. [/QUOTE]
