I feel like I need to trick my body so Cauliflower tortillas it is..

Morning time was...

On an empty stomach
2 Tablespoons of Unmodified Potato Starch mixed in Cold Essentia water

BPC
&
BAE (Bacon and Eggs)

2 Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Oil Pulling @12 noon

Shared a package of Olli Salamini's

Daily Wheatgrass Shot

Dinner was Churizo and eggs with those luscious Cauliflower tortillas

1/2 cup of Coconut Cherry Ice Cream with a lil dab of Whip and a handful of raspberries

Calm Magnesium with hot water

Peanut Butter


Side note: I am well aware that coconut ice cream is not Keto but I am going to have to just deal with it. I am in this and being in this means that I will make my fair share of "safe" calls. Meaning I would much rather eat some coconut ice cream then drive face first into a buttercream frosting cake. Yes I have been known in my life before Keto to eat cream puffs and butter cream frosting cake until I wanted to puke. That being said a lil coconut ice cream and raspberries won't trash my whole program.

My Keto Grub Get Down and a Lil Coconut Ice Cream

I was not feeling fabulous today not at all!!!!
I was feeling all kinds of agro and feeling like I am not making progress as fast as I would like to be making progress. My kids drive me bananas. My Hubs acts like he will die if I do not feed him. Sometimes I want to scream in his skinny face. Yes my peeps it has been this kind of day. 

I read an interesting article about adding potato starch to my daily regime to help regulate blood glucose levels. I think the discouragement sets in when I check my fasting glucose and its at 100. Because I promise you I do not go off program. I do not eat bread or sugar and so that messed me up a little bit. Not to mention my house is a mess and I am feeling utterly stressed out about it. Everything is amplified. 

As I told you yesterday I did not eat alot and today I made up for it (self sabotage). 

Morning intake 

BPC 
& 
My BAE 

Bacon And Eggs 

Oil Pulled for 15 minutes 

Had lunch with my grandkids and the Hubs at 5 Guys and I ate a burger wrapped in lettuce 
and I ate some fries 
dripped in ketchup 
Who me yes me I know right!!!!


I then went on to crave some sugar...are you seeing a pattern?

Because I was feeling bloated today and bloated brings on frustrated and I wanted SUGAR because along with feeling defeated I was feeling low energy. 

Afternoon wheatgrass shot 

I cup of raspberries, 1 cup of coconut cherry ice cream and a lil bit of whipped cream 

1 mozzarella cheese stick before I started to make dinner  

While I was cooking dinner I drank up my first dose of 2 tablespoons of potato starch in cold water Yummmyyyy NOT!!                                        

 But its bearable so I will not complain and see where my blood glucose is in a few days.

The Daily Grind of Thee KetoGangsta

Happy Monday all
Yesterday's play off game was flippin bad ass of course my team came out on top
Go Seahawks

Alrighty tighty time to fill you all in on my daily food get down ready okay here goes


Breakfast
BulletProof Coffee
1 Tablespoon of KerryGold Grassfed Butter
2 Tablespoons of Organic Whipping Cream
2 Tablespoons of Coconut oil
1 scoop of grassfed whey protein
5 espresso shots
2 cups of fresh brewed coffee
Put this all in my Ninja and blended until foamy and dreamy creamy
***I normally do not use the espresso shots but my daughter wanted it so daughter gets the 5 espresso shots***
Normally I use 3 cups of freshly brewed coffee and most of the time I fill up my travelers cup and drink throughout the morning or share with my daughter whom has grown rather fond of BulletProof Coffee.
I baked some nitrate free bacon and used the bacon grease to cook up two eggs    

3 strips of yummy bacon
2 eggs

Drank a 64 ounce of Essentia water in my Hydroflask

I oil pulled at around 1pm for 20 minutes which is using virgin organic coconut oil as a mouthwash swishing the oil in my mouth for 20 minutes and then spitting the oil into the toilet. Oil pulling is a detoxifying process so the oil that you spit out is toxic and you do not want to reuse it. Google more info about oil pulling. I have had several people tell me that after they do it they have elevated amounts of energy.

I was busy running around today and so I did not plan accordingly. It really didn't make a difference because I was not hungry.

At 5 I had a Wheatgrass shot and a package of Olli Mini Salamis which is about 8 pieces YUMMMMMM

Dinner was a pork rib that was in the crock pot all day based with a carton of Organic Beef Stock
I made a Green Tomatillo sauce to go into it which made it so good
My tomatillo sauce is
7 roasted Tomatillos
3 Jalapenos
A bunch of cilantro because I love cilantro
1/2 a juiced lemon (I saved the other half to put directly in my bowl of pork rib soup)
Sea Salt to taste
I love this sauce which is actually just green salsa (but shhhhhh don't tell me that I think it is sauce)

I added this "sauce" to my Pork rib and I also saved the juice left over from the ribs cooking all day
I sauteed some Cabbage with Olive oil and bacon Grease because bacon grease makes everything better OKAY!!!

I added a tablespoon of Kerrygold Grassfed butter to my pork rib that has now morphed into Pork Rib Soup with my yummy green "sauce"

I squeezed the other half of my lemon in my Pork Rib soup and tadaaaaaaaaa
That wraps up my eating for today
For some it may not seem like that is enough calories and all of that madness
I am telling you I only eat when I am hungry
Somedays you will notice I eat more and today just so happened to be a day when I have eaten less


We all have to find our inner KetoGangsta selves
Our own grooves
What works for me may not work for the next person
Could I have ate more today??? I assume I could but I didn't

I will now drink my magnesium Calm and call it a night
Keep Calm and Keto On
#KetoGangsta
Oh yes and Water Water Water and more water

Ketogangsta thuggin out on this Oil Pulling Hype Day 6

Day 6 of Oil Pulling
Trying to do me but so many demands from the skinny Mr in my life

Day 1 Oil Pulling and the way I have been feeling

I am on Day 37 of my Keto Lyfe journey. 
I have noticed that on some days I start to feel ill for only about an hour or so. 
It's not like a severe ill feeling but like a yucky something is off feeling.
I was reading an article about oil pulling and I am very familiar with it. Have done it in the past and always have excellent results. 
A light bulb went on and I was hit with an "Ah-Ha!!!" moment. 
I have lost a considerable amount of weight in such a short time and now my body has stalled out. I know it is because I have a build up of "Fat Toxins" and this is why these icky feelings come on as they do and then go away. 
I am so excited to add oil pulling back into my daily regime and my new way of Keto eating. 
I am so excited to assist my body is the removal of "Fat Toxins". 
Oil pulling also gives me energy. When I am feeling icky I will just oil pull. Duh Marcy what have you been thinking. 

I just bought my oil and so I am all set and ready to go 

Happy Keto everyone 

Good night 

Always,
Pinkie
