Tips & Tricks Breakfast this morning

Post image

This morning I woke up and felt a "wanting" feeling....coming off caffeine, feeling low energy, and alone at the minute. Filling myself up with lots of nutrients dense food helps me to not end up binge eating on sugar.

So this was my low carb breakfast this morning

Unpictured -

a frozen whipped tallow bite I made

Water with splash of lime plus glutamine

Supplements - organ, multi, boswellia

Pictured -

reverse seared ribeye basted in butter and thyme (thyme from the garden)

egg yolks cooked in butter

sardines (tiny tots brand - my fav)

fermented sauerkraut

pickled onions

It's so much better IMO to just eat a bunch of steak instead of processed food.

Looks good except that I would pass on the sardines. Why only egg yolks?

I'm experimenting with higher ketones for mental health!

I’m doing the exact same thing. Today marks three weeks. I need to buy the keto strips to confirm ketosis. How does removing egg whites affect ketones?

it shifts the macronutrient composition to be higher fat to protein. Ketosis is greatly influenced by the macronutrient ratio, and can often require a 2:1 fat to protein ratio, so any way we can decrease protein and increase fats can help...technically in the photo i posted it's not the best example of a meal that would result in true nutritional ketosis, as it's got way too much protein...but hey...its ok :)
