My LCHF diet in July is just fine. I wasn't naughty like last previous couple of month.
To look back, I have had sea food more than eat meat or poultry in July.
I have been East Sussex so I popped in farm shop to buy the Hinxden diary.
My morning cream coffee was heaven for a few days.
Monthly Vegetable Oils
And animal fat for the week.
I was addicted the fried chicken in lard.
It doesn't need batter so it is a perfect for Ketogenic diet. But the part has to be thigh.
This needs to slightly over-cook outside of meat + skin in hight heat for the extra crispy.
Chicken wing in lard is also great!!!
I visited Italian deli in Greenwich. They don't sell Lardo so I bought Guanciale.
Fried aubergine in Guanciale is delicious!
I hate to cook in hot day.
I have had salads for the meal with cure salmon.
Just smoked salmon for really lazy day!
No heat days continue...
And great genuine British summer weather came back so I need hot soup.
Korean style mussel soup. Super easy and simple!
Add prawns and cod in Korean mussel soup with tomato paste.
Leftover seafood soup with dandelion leave salad.
I like pan fried fish and I ate a lot when I was in S Korea. The fishes a far from cod, seabags or markers aka the popular fishes, are hard to get in UK so I haven't had much when I live here.
But since a big Chinese cash and carry market near the our place, we can get verities fresh fishes in the market. So I enjoy pan fried fish as many as possible.
I know there are lots of bones in whole fish but it is okay we are used it.
We can sort it out with our delicate chopstick skill!!
Seafood stew for Her & Seafood pasta for Him
Korean style Pork belly soup.
Fried pork belly
I just asked two coconut oil fried egg with cream coffee on one Sunday morning in July.
He took almost half an hour to make it and... I don't know what to say...
One Olive oil fried egg and two poached eggs.
I like poached eggs to but I wanted fried egg on that morning.
I guess he was too enthusiastic!
'Strawberries and Cream' is essential in British summer for either snacks or dessert.
The evil WALKERS launched wasabi flavour crisps.
Obviously I tried it and sadly it was so good...
I have tried my best to avoid potato crisps but nothing has been worked.
Chorizo crisps.
Peperoni crisps
Coconut chips
I bought big bag of coconut chips and cooked in the oven to crispier!
Texture was okay but it still cannot substitute the mighty potato crisps.
And the fast.
I did an annual fasting on July in 2017. I have done the 4-5 days fast once a year since 2012.
It is once a year but it is always not easy. I feel generally fine on physically but mentally it is obviously hard. I am not that hungry and feel okay in front of foods. I don't feel to eat at all I even cook when I am in the mood.
I did just only 2 days in this time. I wasn't feeling well from day 2 so I started to eat homemade chicken broth to break fast. Two days are short time to change the habit and feel positivities of fasting. But I didn't feel to continue at that time and I think it was right decision. Two days fasting doesn't really need to process to break the fast but I did it anyway.
I got ketone meter the day after 2 days fasting and 3 days of recovering diet.
My ketone level looks okay after the fasting and recovering process.
