Down to plan C, or D? Nothing is quite working out. The initial plan was to sleep later at night. Couldn't do much. Crashed anyway. At just after 18:00 I lost control, had to sleep. The plan, then, was to sleep the night. Nope. Sirens? I definitely heard them a couple times while awake. That might have awaken me. No problem, just not sure. Perhaps it was merely going to bed too early.
All good. I woke hungry. Daikon radish slices and then pistachios. Still hungry, thinking of fatted tea, maybe something else... baked broccoli? Meat sounds better, I just don't want that much fuss. Baked broccoli is probably to much. Maybe chia pudding? That stuff isn't bad... adding a cup of mixed nuts and seeds really turns it into a far superior cereal replacement. The only negative is that it takes an hour to soak. I have heard it can be prepared ahead, stored in an airtight container overnight, but I'm not sure. Soaking some now, might as well.
I am not sure why blood sugar isn't falling. Then again, I think multiday fasting, and several episodes of it close together has been required. I am planning Saturday thrugh Monday or Tuesday. I'll have meats and veggies gone by then. No ketonics either, just tea, plain. After that, I may hit a fat fast... essentially half my normal calories but at as close to, or over if possible, 90% fat. A few days of that then back to standard keto, 60~70 % fat, 35~25 % protein, and 5 % carbs (or less).
Later, or good night.
"Daikon radish slices".
ReplyDeleteA bit of trivia you might find interesting. "Daikon" is also the name for a popular Japanese science-fiction convention, and the radish is an identifying symbol.
Opening animations for the 1981 and 1983 Daikons were made by a fan group who later became Gainax Animation.
Somehow daikon radish and sci-fi tickle the same neurons in my melon. I can see the link.
ReplyDeleteOh, being where you are, have you eaten jicama? There is something commonly eaten with it, and other dishes. I mean to try it with daikon radishes as well as jicama, and watermelon... speaking of melons. It's called tàrjin, I believe, a Mexican 'thing'. Just curious if you have familiarity.
I have heard of jicama but, not being much of a radish person, I have never tried it. To my knowledge no one locally is offering it fresh, but I believe some of the more cosmopolitan grocery stores in the area sell it.
ReplyDeleteHmm... do you like water chestnuts, or less sweet apples? I would say these, jicamas, are more like that, or potatoes. Not radishes. The daikon radishes are only slightly peppery as radishes when cooked hard. Raw they are more like a really solid cucumber... without the seeds. Still, I'm afraid to try some things, sometimes, at least for a while. :p
ReplyDeleteI'll take your comments to heart (enjoying water chestnuts and apples).
ReplyDeleteI found tajìn, trying it as I write. Peppers (mildly spiced, if I eat habanera), sea salt, and dehydrated lime. Interesting. I can't wait to try it on other things. Good luck with it.
