Day 10 – Thursday 14.1.16

 

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good and hit the gym for some back and shoulder training. During the day I had my usual breakfast, lunch and bulletproof coffee. I feel like I’m in a good routine and I am finding the eating pretty easy to do. I don’t get hungry or crave other foods at all. I am used to eating the same breakfast and lunch every day so lack of variety is not an issue for me. Previously I would have oats and a protein shake for breakfast then a quarter chicken for lunch every day so I am actually enjoying the keto options more. Also I know there are limitless options available to me if I do get bored.

After work I was in a culinary experimentation mode so I decided to make homemade pizza and homemade ice cream. I found the pizza recipe here http://www.ruled.me/keto-bbq-chicken-pizza-dairy-free-crust/ The recipe involved making a pizza base from coconut flour and something called Psyllium Husk which appears to just be a bag of fibre. I was a little alarmed when I read the back of the packet and it claimed to be “nature’s internal broom”. The pizza was successful enough although the doh is really sticky so I ended up spending a good bit of time trying to pry if off the baking paper without wrecking it, I would recommend greasing the paper with butter or oil maybe to prevent this. The base basically tasted exactly like bread then I topped with pepperoni, chopped tomato and cheese. It was pretty decent but the preparation took me a long time so I don’t know if it’s worth the investment. I only ate a little of the ice cream as it hadn’t set properly yet by the time I was wanting to eat it.
