One thing I've learned ... anyone who says "Oh, a little of this won't matter" is full of crap. It does matter. You have to be diligent to stay in ketosis and if you're not in ketosis you're not losing. "A little of this and a little of that" = NO KETOSIS.
So, today I prep. Tomorrow I lose ... that's how it works. I love the LCHF way of eating and I'm not going to let stress, laziness, the path of least resistance or anything else come between me and my goal. I'm worth it, my health matters and I already know I can do it ... so let's get with it!
Here are the ingredients for almond cocoa chia seed pudding. |
I'm going to share recipes I've been working on today to get me through the week successfully. I have found that preparation is the key to my success.
(Recipe adapted from Eating Bird Food)
ALMOND COCOA CHIA SEED PUDDING
6 tbsp. chia seeds
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp liquid stevia
6 tbsp chia seeds |
This is a quick and easy breakfast or snack with only about 2 net carbs per serving and the recipe makes about two servings, although I make it stretch further than that by eating smaller servings.
I used a whisk to mix it all up. |
