Surprises.

Cod liver oil?  My first tablespoon.  With the lemon pretty... I wouldn't eat this stuff for flavor, but the lemon covered enough that it was as consuming some bland oil, such as canola.  At that I am quite pleased I got the stuff with lemon.  If I see improvements I will buy more.  If I sense nothing I won't continue.  Rather pricey stuff.

The real surprise was the nutritional yeast.  I tried it before, a different brand, ordered in the summer.  The first batch had no flavor.  I wonder if the brand was different, if I suspect it was the heat of summer delivery.  This batch seems rather tasty.  I had it on a romaine salad, with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette and side of avocado.  The vinaigrette was very good, if I say so myself.  My last womantype said I could one-shot salad dressings.  I didn't see it back then, but... she might have been right.

I also tried a savory, my first, fatted tea.  Hot (not hot enough) tea, cream, ghee (didn't melt well), ground ginger, fresh ground black pepper, garlic, and Himalayan salt.  It wasn't bad.  A bit less ginger, getting the ghee to melt better, and more salt... I think it's a keeper.

I am eating less, and shortening my eating window to four to six, from eight, hours.  I have gained ten pounds, but that is right.  With all fluids depleted and kept low while back on medication, eating enough fat to trigger a switch to fat burning, and satiation so as to not end up grazing (eating whenever allowed, on into when not allowed), it takes a high portion of fats in sufficient volume.

My mind still thinks I need more, so makes larger portions.  My body stops halfway through what had been a standard to medium meal... almost yesterday.  Even so I am staying full.  I still will eat two small and a snack, for now.  Just much smaller.  My fatted teas are shrinking too.  Actually, I might start doing just one, and every other day or by need/want.  When well into keto?  If you want something you are more likely into need.  You simply don't have cravings.

Not a bad, if odd, culinary evening.  A few dishes started.  About to check laundry then have my last meal... a very small portion of egg casserole and buttered mushrooms.  I'll skip another fatted tea.  It really is doing better.  Blood sugars are into the low two hundreds, after yesterdays high two hundreds.  Ugh.

Oh, I found rosaries, if where I had looked before.  Wasn't looking for them, as I knew they weren't there.  I'd like to make copies of the forms before starting the prayers again.  Those are the weak points.  It is good to have them back.  I am getting excited to start them back up.  If things work out, maybe for Christmas.

Later.
