I did have to add a few packets of salmon. The fish was good, but the olive oil they were in was... dated. It worked out well enough. I added lemon juice, and tried a bowl of just the green beans, canned mushrooms, chicken salad (which had pretty much melted in), and salmon. It wasn't bad.
Next I added a third of a stick of butter and parmesan cheese. That actually kicked it up nicely. Still a bit odd, but it worked. I polished that off easily. Still hungry, but less so. If the tuna steaks thaw yet tonight, I will fry those. Maybe put them on a bed of shirataki noodles or palm rice. Even two of those will be... small. I am really, truly, deeply, hungry. Meh.
The burger and steak should be ready tomorrow. I need to do some shopping, for lettuce or salad mixes, and keep looking for whole carcass chickens. I won't by parts. Those are terrible these days. Not that expensive, but too expensive to have to just throw out. Everything is too expensive to risk wasting.
Gaming is going well. Sleep probably won't happen early. Not even sure I'll get the suv cleaned out yet tonight. But... maybe. I need more food, to get going. Turned the heat up, a lot. Just... I was cold. Need more food, I do, and to warm up. Working on things.
The coffee, with the coffee, as I mentioned, was okay. It really doesn't quite do it though. I may see about foreign dark chocolates, in the 85 to 96 percentages. Just... so expensive. I could just buy individual bars, to start out. But make sure that company also offers packs, and at a better price. They really should cut a lot from individual bars, if buying in even moderate bulk. Really, really, should.
Later, most likely.
Cooked up one of those "not really a sirloin" (too much fat /gristle/ connective tissue), vacuum seal didn't hold, so slight freezer burnt. Big fresh mushrooms `Brat` was neglecting to the point of "science experiment". Scrubbed them white with a mushroom brush, turned out good. Had that yesterday (1/2) the steak. Rest this morning on a bed of cabbage, I cheated hard on yogurt, fruit and oatmeal all mixed, was like ice cream. "Stay on target!"
ReplyDeleteSteak & cabbage only today. Cabbage underdone a bit, steak still "weird", mushrooms still good though there is a flavor I'm picking up I can't quite place. Some spice combo with the Fungi and old odd meat. If I'm sick tomorrow or the next day, I know why.
CoCo in coffee, one spoon per cup, no sweetener, just bitter and dark... like who's heart?
Try to learn to love yogurt plain. It's a stretch. But If I can do it? Anybody can do it. But... do they really WANT to do it? Though, I did buy berries. The fruits you can have, sparingly, on keto. A big bag of frozen. But mostly I eat yogurt plain, and straight up, and am careful about what yogurt I even eat. No added sugars, and an ingredient list a child could understand. Don't care for gums, but don't mind a few odd ingredients... if they are... normal real foods, added for regularity and a certain texture.
ReplyDeleteI've not had a sirloin with gristle, or connective tissue. Not a top sirloin. But I haven't tried them all! What I have noticed is that a lot of chop shops get fairly loose with their naming. I stopped buying "chuck roasts" without very, very, careful examination. Not sure what they were trying to pass off as chuck, but it... wasn't chuck. That is where I ran into gristle and connective tissue, though that happens in regular chuck, but not to that extent. Don't trust butchers, they are the used car salesmen of the grocery stores a bit too often.
Yeah, cabbage. Did you add butter? Either way, it's pretty good filler. I need to pick some up, two heads this time. I should have that eaten in two weeks or less. And lettuce, as a bed, or salad, is finally quite a pleasant thing.
I can't do chocolate, that way. Far too bitter. Can't do sugar, but allulose, about a tablespoon, and three to four drops of liquid sucralose (can't do the powdered, for whatever reason), and I'm golden. I use it in fatted coffee and tea. Best to limit it to one a day, or stretch two in a few times a week.
I don't know. I do what I do to control diabetes. Have you gotten a blood sugar tester yet? That... might help incentivize you into walking a narrower path. A forty spike from a meal, or more, and you are heading toward neuropathy, diabetes, things in that zone. And, with blood sugar/glucose kept high, you can't lose weight. Remember, glucose tells your body to store fat. You can't lose over that being too high, too often, for too long. That might be your problem.
Just woke up... blathering.
Yes, I do need a blood sugar monitor (somehow), if just for the reasons you mentioned... knowledge. The cheat, was a snowball, add this ,that sounds good, damn! sugar! MORE!
ReplyDelete1/3 stick "american butter" to the cabbage, dogs got 3/4 that nasty steak. Killed my sugar cravings with an orange.
I still NEED that road trip... will have to see if my old chains fit my new truck. Test run for an escape, I've mentioned it.
Cabbage keeps longer, eat the Iceberg first. (I have iceberg to throw) cabbage is fresh! may have to get a red head just for variety.
I was always partial to Red-Heads. Even though they could destroy me. Maybe that's why?
Hmm? The orange took care of the sugar cravings, because it IS sugar. Same with all fruit, even berries, mostly... just berries are leastly. :p Oh, blood sugar testers are cheap. Even the test strips are somewhat reasonable, finally. Here is a link to one I do highly recommend. The VA doesn't always do well, but this choice is superior.
ReplyDeleteMeter and pokey thing... https://www.amazon.com/Accu-Chek-Guide-Blood-Glucose-Monitoring/dp/B07V1YPFLF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=16ZHYWJVR96ME&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ze8gtPQ6lPnfegwwTW2h9Ljk4trdiiUPEPMi6fDDKgleSqDTIDQqVP4nj2aXoVMHM-yYbDrlaEUs3A6pn630bZmj3YZwvGYxRzzOQkGcnZSRtBlMUfNYknj_lCZUqGY15_RKR1ga56Z72l6aB0zdlr2iQOrjKKQUs8Us1zowccWSvwM1jkx98yGa4-Q9zrmm4wenAr6L_YXYkAqVCKd9Pvrsq36v_IBUOWsvHmtgpkf9k8CRuekf6iT_exAiLKeacbNXO2fDezlLitffKNa4DbimfQEzgisG0vsKHHkwFyg.vJCY0Dn0EKICBMe9hiCV4HxXYcJ56ysnN9oMHC9fcrU&dib_tag=se&keywords=accu-chek%2Bguide%2Bme%2Bmeter&qid=1729809715&sprefix=accu-check%2Bguide%2Bme%2Bmeter%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-1&th=1
Test strips.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087NPJX1W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Yes, no problem with managing the lettuce, and cabbage. I'll probably be eating salads, with or without meats, on a daily, or nearly. Cabbage is still just two to four meals a week, if I can stretch a head. One if I can't. Love that gooder crap. Finally.
You'll always be welcome, should you swing by. I'll treat you to the finest dining in the state, really the nation. It's humble, sort of. But don't let that fool you. They grow their own beef, and bison. And serve only their finest cuts, after generations of breeding right. God's own food, if I were to treat Him out.
Yes, redheads, damn, just damn. Never got with one, literally. But I sure had some flaming dames. Love that. Same with blonds, I like them, and the idea, just... never got with one of those either. Moody brunettes, if... you can ever be sure with dyes, and women, these days.
More jealous. Sassy won't eat my finest, let alone my less desired. Silly girl-cat type! I fart in her general direction! :p
