Down another 2.5 lbs this week. Slow and steady I guess...
It's hard to turn down those carbs that are bumping me out of ketosis, but I have to get more serious about it and I think I'd see more drastic weekly changes. Grilled steak, chicken, etc. is great, but lack of variety sucks a bit.
Anyone use higher protein soups to keep up their protein counts? I was thinking steak stew or chicken soups, minus the carbs (rice, noodles, etc.). I figure the broth is healthy, helps with hydration, is filling, and the meat is good on the protein front. I'm just looking for more variety from the fajita bowls, grilled meat, lunch meat, etc..
Keto food we look for when we are out:* Fajita - you already mentioned. At Los Cucos in Seguin they have pablano sauce - try it. Maybe the local does it.
* Asado - Pork in red sauce
* Chile Verde - like green chili stew without the potatoes
* Our HEB has the BBQ joint inside get
Brisket & Caesar side salad with avocado and ranch.
* Chick-Fil-A salad with unbreaded nuggets or just a few breaded nuggets - check the carbs
* Our favorite Mexican food place makes a
Chile Relleno without the batter. It make 2 beef "enchiladas" out of them by having the Ground beef, covered with Chiles, covered with Red sauce and Cheese.
* We have a meat market that makes fantastic
Burger patties and since they use plain old Mrs. Baird's buns I just have them stack it with grill onions, Swiss cheese and bacon (guacamole if you want). Fuddruckers works well for this also.
