This diet has not defeated me yet. I will admit to having moments of weakness. You know how easy it is to get a cheeseburger here? And eating fast food burgers with no bun, lettuce or no, in the car is messy. But I’m soldiering through.
Here’s a hint. Give yourself the chance to indulge. If you’re on a diet that doesn’t give you the option to make at least a few foods that you actually like, then you either need a stronger will than I have, or you’re in the wrong diet. For me, there’s plenty of snack food that is keto friendly. Beef jerky, cheese sticks, pickles, olives. All great. But for “real” food, it’s mostly meat and greens, and I’m still not the biggest fan of rabbit food. So what sort of meat can I get?
Wings. Wings are fantastically keto, if you get the right sauce. And I already like a very keto sauce: parmesan garlic. And so, ladies and gentlemen…I made my own wings for the first time. And second time. I bought a lot of chicken.
Separating wings is a pain in the ass, and next time, I might just get the ones that are pre-separated. It’s not that much of a markup. The sauce isn’t quite as “one consistency” as what you get in a bottle, but then again, the sauce has 3 ingredients, and two of them are solid things cut small, so I can’t get too disappointed. And they taste good.
Frankly, if there’s something out there that you like at a restaurant, unless it’s really wild, there’s a recipe online that’ll tell you how to make it. Just make sure you wash your hands.
Not as big of a post today. Oh, hey, I haven’t had a nap for three days. I wonder if it’s because of the diet, my mental health, or because I haven’t been teaching this week. We’ll find out on Monday when I go back to work. Actually, after work is therapy, so I hope I don’t come home and crash.
Song of the Week: Shit Boat by Alestorm. I’m not going to apologize for this one. It’s crass, it’s stupid, it doesn’t rhyme, it’s short, the music video is stupid. But it’s catchy, and I love it.
