I guess I'm on week whatever of eating cleaner. I've "cheated" here and there, always too much regret in the form of feeling like shit and inflammation. It's not really a "personal choice" to eat clean anymore, more of a "I just don't want it" type of situation. I'm hesitant to say it comes naturally now, but it's mostly effortless. Thinking back to most of the things I used to eat they all seem pretty unappealing, make no mistake I could still eat it, and it would probably be good, but I just don't care for it like I used to. I'm down 20lbs and feeling great.
Funny story, my wife ate what I ate last night. A bacon-wrapped filet, and a large portion of grilled zucchini, carrots, and onions. Cooked in grass-fed butter. 2 hours later she was complaining that she was starving more now than she was before dinner. I politely explained that's because her body was accustomed to running on processed carbs and sugars. There's no reason that meal shouldn't provide the energy required to run the human body. I was fine, she was about to eat the doors off the kitchen pantry. Been there honey, it gets easier.
Who knew that the most redneck hillbilly snack food of all time could be a staple of eating keto friendly. I've been snacking on them in various flavors, breading fish, squirrel, chicken and pork chops with ground up seasoned pork rinds. This is not just an "adequate" substitute for panko. It is really good. Dinner tonight was pan fried in beef tallow salmon burgers (wild caught frozen salmon burgers from Costco) and loaded cheesy cauliflower casserole.
