MemberHello DCKMB,
I applaud your efforts! Diabetes runs in my family and I want to avoid it at all costs. And it's completely within my power to do so!!
How do you get the picture above your screen name?? I have looked, but haven't figured it out.
Thanks! I look forward to sharing success on the challenge :)

Macros for the day:
Fat 86.6 59 %
Saturated 27.0 18 %
Polyunsaturated 15.0 10 %
Monounsaturated 37.2 25 %
Carbohydrate 48.0 14 %
Dietary Fiber 11.3
Protein 86.1 27 %Couple of notes- need more calories, need more protein. Still working on how to get more without the dairy. More meat needed obviously- think that will solve both those problems. Don't want to lose weight so need to hit at least 1600 calories and was a few hundred short of that today.
Tomorrow is my birthday and we are going to lunch at a Thai place. Have any suggestions on what to get? Usually I would do the phad thai noodles ^_^ I REALLY want the phad thai noodles....

I can get in a lot more protein if I start off my day with sausage instead of eggs (or eggs with sausage). Those little patties pack a pretty significant protein punch!
Mmm thai food... no suggestions but yum.

MemberI had a yellow curry at a Thai restaurant last week. Not anything like the Indian version. This was more of a thick soup consistency, made from coconut milk, carrots, chicken, onions. White rice on the side which you could ignore. There were a few pieces of potato in there as well, surprisingly, but I bet you could ask they leave it out. I eat gluten-free, so I checked and there was no flour of any kind. It was kinda tasty, I have to admit!

FNW- I usually have canadian bacon with my eggs but for some reason I didn't this morning. I even have nitrate free stuff and my mind was elsewhere I suppose. I think sausage is higher in protein than canadian bacon regardless.
lbd- curry is a good idea but I am not a huge fan. I'm thinking maybe I will change the venue to CPK or some other more salad/meat friendly place. My perogative right?!

Right, that's the thing... having bacon or canadian bacon helps but sausage has more actual meat in it and is more protein-rich.
And hey, if it's your birthday, make it a steak house! haha.
And happy birthday!!! You're giving yourself an awesome gift.Posted 7 months ago # -
Ohhh... Happy Birthday!
I agree. Go for steak. :)

MemberHappy Birthday fellow Leo! My B-day is the 16th :) Too bad about CPK, I had a gorgonzola/walnut/pear salad there that was so ridiculously delicious a while back...mmm...
I'm going to a french restaurant in DC for my b-day (hubby and I will be there for a thing), my big cheat will be creme brulee...can't wait! Besides the sugar, it's a good dessert choice with nothing but egg yolks, heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar :)

Leo's are AWESOME! Yeah, CPK salads are so good. I'll make it there sometime this week!
Love the creme brulee! I don't have any dessert planned for today since it's survival week and all but I assume I will make up for it next week when I go visit family.

Today's food:
eggs, coconut oil, canadian bacon, salad from CPK, cherries, almonds, meatloaf, asparagus. I always take a tbsp of cod liver oil with dinner too but haven't been mentioning that.Went out to dinner last night and ate a ton. Would have loved to IF breakfast this morning but if I don't eat first thing, my body keeps dumping glucose into my blood and the sugars continue to rise until I eat. It's very irritating.
Exercise: none. I have too many errands to run after work to get ready for vacation Friday.

How's that cod liver oil taste?

Thanks grandma!
The cod liver oil is pretty tasty. It's lemon flavored and doesn't even have a remotely fishy taste at all. Goes down like buttah. It's the Carlson brand in the green bottle- Dr. Eades recommended it in his book The Protein Power Lifeplan.
