Keto Diet Results & Recipes

[Headhammer]

Dinner last night was coriander seed crusted pork tenderloin with a strawberry merlot wine reduction  & stir fried green beans with almonds. I kept the merlot reduction keto by swapping the sugar for splenda.

I know y'all have been dying for an update and more keto recipes, both of you. I started back on the diet after gorging myself over the holidays and peaked Monday at 187 lbs. That's a lot less weight than I packed on last year, but I attribute that to having that nasty RSV over  Thanksgiving limiting my ability to carb load. Anyway, after 5 days I'm already down to 183, just gotta work on this muffin top I've developed. Stay tuned for more Keto recipes and tips.

Dinner last night was flank steak with a dry cherry cola rub. While the steak was great, it was not nearly as good without a nice glass of red wine to wash it down. Looking forward to reaching goal weight so I can get back to wine with Saturday dinner!

Looks good, I used to use splenda years ago but found out it's much worse than sugar on the body but RAW sugar is accepted by Health Farms I used to visit in Australia, but upto you.

Dinner last night was cheeseburger casserole. This recipe is a little different from the one in earlier posts in that you mix multiple cheeses with the eggs throughout the casserole rather than on top. Ground beef mixed with bacon, dill pickles, cream cheese, eggs, mozzarella & cheddar cheese.

Week 1 in the books. Weight last night was 180.4, down almost 7 pounds, 6 pounds to goal weight! Some charcuterie and my smoked jalapeño deviled eggs for dinner last night.

Tried this Keto coffee figuring it was similar to Phil Mickelson's coffee for wellness concoction. The taste is similar to those bottled protein shakes like Muscle Milk, but this is overly sweet and has an absolutely horrific aftertaste. Do not recommend.

I don't drink anything labeled sports health etc as I believe it's alot of b.s. and too MUCH sugar..

Dinner last night bacon wrapped hickory bbq pork tenderloin and broccoli soufflés. I used this low carb bbq sauce to keep it keto friendly.

Picked up these keto sandwich rounds, 4 carbs each, last week for our pulled pork meal. They are slightly on the moist side and have a pretty bland flavor, but they did work well as a vehicle for our pulled pork & Asian coleslaw.

Dinner last night was Korean pork tenderloin with a side of horseradish cauliflower mash. Was it good? I took a few pieces off the tray and when I turned back for a second helping the plate was almost empty. I said to Mrs. H. "what the heck?" She said "What? I was  hungry and it was delicious!"

A dietitian on the this am was talking about your fries as a gut friendly veg, I’ll have to ask about them next time in the supermarket..

Dinner last night was hoisin glazed sockeye salmon burgers with pickled cucumbers and cauliflower hash browns. The new keto sandwich rounds from Arnold were quite good and didn't have that sawdust consistency of many other keto friendly breads. Currently sitting at 173 lbs, down 15 lbs from January and feeling good.
