Changing my diet.

.
.
Not truly changing the core notion.  The plan remains low carb high fat, keto.  The thing is, I can't handle nearly as much meat.  Chicken thighs and a pork roast were cooked last night.  Two thighs and a slim slice of roast left me stuffed beyond belief.  I tried a snack several hours later anyway.  I'll not do that again soon.  When my body says it is full, when eating right foods, it means it.

I have been looking for other food items.  From flax to chia seeds, to leafy greens, plus foods as supplements such as cod liver oil and nutritional yeast.  I keep falling down on various kefirs, but will keep at it.  I'd like to figure out other fermented foods, like sauerkraut, perhaps pickles, and others.  The trick is to get enough fat, protein, carbs, and calories for the machine to tick.  The main problem is simple volume.  Once I hit solid ketosis, not only does desire go away, but so does the simple ability to eat, or eat enough.  Simply digesting food becomes difficult, if that might be heart related?  Not enough blood flow?

Lowering the fat ratio to nearly one to one, I am hoping, will help.  Cutting volume, perhaps stretching more, smaller, meals, within a six hour window?  Cutting it to one real meal with minor adds like snacks and fatted drinks?  Ugh... I'll just have to experiment.  Don't even think of vegan or veggieism.  Those are worse.  Nuts are good, but like meat, they fill quickly.  Can only eat so much of that.

I am looking into ways to eat new foods while at it.  And learning the best ways to obtain and consume things.  For example, flax seeds are best bought whole, ground at home, then added to other foods or drinks.  Or to this chia breakfast cereal replacement.  Oh, chia is best whole, then soaked.  All... according to... the web.  Still, it's a start.



The problem with more salads is shopping.  Less than weekly and it won't work.  Weekly shopping is a stretch for salad leaves and my ability to get out.  Still, I'll be trying.  I won't come close to seven to nine cups a day, was it, as some advise.  I couldn't eat that much, or afford that much, anyway.  For this I am working on homemade keto friendly dressings.  Broth will help, soon.

Smaller doses.  More of a mix, no food every day.  And I need to back off the sweeteners again.  Ugh.  I'll keep at it.  Well, I can't cook fresh meats everyday, I more generally mean more variety, within reason.  Less fat, more general volume, actually more calories.  Actually?  I don't see how to do those things without keeping fats high, since protein is the real problem.  What a nuisance, figuring out right eating.

I'll keep at it.  Later.
