#keto on

[keepingupwiththeketo]

Not the kind of before and after pictures I wanted to be sharing with you guys but oh well here we are. As some of you may know I struggled with keto the first half of 2019. In summer my weight started to creep up and once the fall semester rolled around I pretty much gave up on keto. I was eating meals out of the hospital cafeteria (and not the healthy options) plus I was stress eating from the stress. When December rolled around and the semester ended I found myself an extra 40 pounds heavier. I’m very disappointed that I let my weight get so out of control. I’m back on keto now and I’m hoping to have the motivation to at least get back down to my last lowest weight of 188. 150 is still the goal. Small steps.

Highest weight: 266

Starting weight: 232

Current weight: 227.6

Lowest weight: 188

Goal weight: 150

Finished my lunch prep for the week. In addition to getting back to keto full time I'm trying to get back to bringing lunch to work instead of buying. I'll likely stick to salads for the time being since they are super full of nutrients and the fat ratio is so easy to control. Each salad has: 1 cup romaine 1 cup spinach 2 hard boiled eggs from my brand new egg cooker 3 pieces of bacon 3 tbsp of mozzarella 1tbsp of sunflower seeds 1 quarter of avocado And I use ranch for dressing because it's delicious.

My wife is the most amazing person I've ever met. She is so smart, tough, resilient, caring, giving, loving, and of course beautiful. She has lost over 80 pounds in the last sixteen months. She continuously makes me look like a lazy slacker. I love her so much. She is truly Ketomazing!

Made this salmon primavera last night for a dinner party I hosted. Super easy to make and so delicious. It's 2.5-3lb salmon filet. I got mine at Costco to save a little money. Rinse and dry the fish and place flaky side down on a foil lined pan. Salt and pepper the fish as desired. Then apply a consistent layer of honey mustard (I use honeycup brand which is amazing!) Make sure the fish is fully covered but that it's not too heavy. Thinly slice 2 zucchini (I used my mandolin), and place the zucchini in columns on the fish from left to right as seen in the second photo. Finally, combine 1/2 cup Panko (or skip if keto) and 2Tbs of olive oil and spread over the top. Finally place in the oven at 375° for 25-35 minutes (depending on your oven) until the fish at it's thickest is 135°. Enjoy!

Hey there,I have a recipe for you all to try. It's fairly low effort but awesome results. Ingredients: Chicken legs (I used 8 because that's what fit nicely in my out) 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 cup water 1 tablespoon butter (or fat of choice) Choice of seasoning (I made it easy and grabbed a buffalo seasoning mix from McCormick Spice) Directions: Rinse and dry chicken and season generously with salt to taste Heat up pot on high heat, once hot add butter and coat pot Place drumsticks in pot so all touch the bottom the pan Flip drumsticks every minute or so to properly brown on all sides, about 10 minutes, feel free to drop the heat down once the butter cooks off to prevent the chicken from burning Dust on the seasoning mix as you flip so the browned sides get seasoned Once the chicken is browned pour in the heavy whipping cream followed by the water Bring to a steady sonnet and cover Flip the chicken every five minutes or so for 30 minutes Remove chicken and enjoy the meat with or without the remaining gravy The meat will be flavorful and fall off the bone. The heavy whipping cream adds in additional fat and the gravy forms naturally. I've saved mine for future meals. Let me know what you think!

I won't claim it's Cajun, but it tastes Cajun. Sausage, shrimp, okra, onion, celery, and cauliflower. So very Ketolicious!!!
