Which brings me to a question. Whole grains, rice, etc. What are you guys doing in that area? I've largely been avoiding it but I can see where some natural grains are beneficial.

Meat, Eggs, Fish and Cheese. I have added some sauerkraut periodically since I read that some fermented foods are good for your digestion, plus I like it. If we want breaded fish, I mash up pork rinds and season them to taste before dipping them in egg and frying them in coconut oil.

I’ve been using the mashed up pork rinds as well. The last meatloaf I made had them in it.

I don't eat them. Poison

Oh come on now i wouldn't go that far. Man and beast have been eating wild oats , seeds, and grains, for as long as they've been on this earth. Post agricultural revolution I believe we eat far far too much of them, especially the heavily processed ones like white flour. if we were to take a page from the paleo book, It recommends to never eat more than a prehistoric human could naturally gather in the wild. To me that says more than a handful, and sparingly. A small bowl of stone ground oatmeal with some fruit can't be all that bad.

Cool, you do you. All things are alright in moderation. But for right now, I'm not eating them. (Well, once I get back home 🤣)

Makes sense. They're not that hard to avoid if you're avoiding processed grains anyway. Because let's face it who TF wants to eat raw oats and grains anyway. 🤣 Now some brown or wild rice, that one may be harder.

How about nuts for you guys, walnuts, pistachio, almonds, pecans etc?

I had been wondering the same thing but the longer I’ve followed I came to realize I already knew the answer based on most cutting out carbs and processed foods. We tend to eat breads though so I did my own search on alternatives that were healthy(ier). I’ve been getting a brand called Dave’s Killer Bread that is 100% organic, non GMO, gluten free, no dyes, no artificial flavors, no bleach (in so called “white” bread), etc. Looking at the ingredients there are no chemicals whatsoever.

I tried this brand and we now use it for anything we would have used bread on. Even make garlic bread on it. My favorite has been to toast one thin slice, put hard boiled egg and avocado on it for lunch. Maybe add organic no artificial anything horseradish to it. I maybe eat 3 thin slices a week but it’s a good addition for me to break up in between straight hard boiled eggs or other proteins.

These are my go-to.


Almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, pecans, and cashews. Very tasty.

I try to eat a small serving of them when it's a part (something over rice or mashed taters) of the meal and generally try to avoid them as add ons to the meal (biscuits, garlic bread, etc) I call it keto inspired.

Agreed

If I'm craving bread I make a sourdough loaf and have a slice or two. I've been making more focaccia than traditional sourdough lately as it's easier. The fermentation of sourdough helps make it healthier. Once again it follows the "foods my grandma or great grandma would recognize" mantra.

Dr Gundry has some information that made oatmeal not sound as healthy as we've been told (big surprise)

Love me some pistachios and the seasoned almonds, and walnuts.

Currently on hour 28 of a fast. Coffee, water, and unsweetened iced tea only today. I feel good but man I am hungry right now. It’s not helping that I was Googling ‘carnivore air fryer recipes.’ 😂 I really need this Cleveland-New York game to start so I can distract my mind!

The game itself is a great distraction. The game breaks on the other hand are borderline torture. Every single one has at least one food or restaurant commercial! Food on TV has never looked so good! 😂
