So a number of people have asked what I eat since I am carb, sugar, and dairy free theses days. Well. . . most anything that tastes really good would be the answer. Basically meat and green vegetables.
The next question is, "Okay, well that doesn't seem like a lot. What do you eat?" Here are some of the foods I like to eat. . .
Steak, mostly when I eat out. I need to be careful with steak sauce that includes sugar. I like hamburgers (I am learning to eat them without the cheese). Any beef is good. I would eat ribs but again, I need to be careful of the sugar. Chicken breast grilled on the gas grill at home and wings - mostly at Buffalo Wild Wings (no boneless due to the breading. I eat pork (including and especially BACON). I like and would eat ham, but that hasn't been something I have eaten since the beginning of the diet. Basically, I eat most any meat.
Speaking of meat. I also have an occasional hot dog or two. I love spam and veinna style sausages, too. But, I don't eat much of those highly processed meats.
I also eat most any lunch meats. I especially like the highly processed lebonon Balogna. I also eat ring balogna (again probably highly processed). I have been making chicken salad, ham salad and eggs salad a lot. Salads are always okay to eat as long as you are careful about salad dressings with a log of sugar. Singce I am not eating dairy, cheese is kept off of the salads at this time.
We have found CHOMPS Grass Fed Beef Jerky Sticks to be really good and VERY healthy. We get them from Amazon. Here is the link: https://amzn.to/3fwusyb They are a bit expensive, but what isn't when you are eating all natural/organic, etc.
So, I usually have a couple pieces of Lebonon Balogna, with or without mayo, for breakfast. Lunch would be a salad with some sort of meat or maybe two hamburgers and lettuce and onions. Supper really depens on if I am hungary and what Jana is making. She is really good about making things that I can eat. In the past we have had grilled/baked/fried ("breaded" with crushed pork rinds) Chicken Ribs, hamburgers/hot Dogs, vegetable soup, beef roast, steak and I am sure other things along with green beans, or brocoli, cauliflower, salads, asparagus and carrots or other low carb vegetable. If supper is at a restaurant, steak is almost always the option. The other night I was gifted with some dear loins which we marinated and broiled. It was soooo good.
For snacks I eat the Jerky sticks, a scoop or two of the ham, chicken, or eggs salad, any lunch meat, peanuts and nuts, pork rinds (but, not a huge fan), bacon that I have fried a head of time, etc. The doctor said I could have fruit, sparingly so I sometimes eat a small apple or half of a banana. Fruit gets eaten with peanut butter or protein which helps with sugar consumption. Hard boiled eggs are always good to have around.
There is so much more but I need to get this published. I will be posting specific recipies in the coming weeks. There are some really good butter/dairy/sugar alternatives I will also tell you about. In the mean time . . . thanks for following.
