bevause whilst I still eat what I like on the weekend, I have decided to be strict through the week. I’ve been easily irritable all week
I put my irritability down to the lack of training reports during Nacker’s absence.
But I’m also dieting during the week - which probably isn’t helping matters.
Yeah i fast and eat from 12 to 8 nearly everyday.
Really low carb and good mix of macros
Down from 90 to 80. I think regardless of diet, the key is limiting the grog and refined sugar.
We are fairly strict on the shopping cart and will have a bit of a blowout on weekends (grab a pizza, have some ice cream etc)
I have a sweet tooth, but these days I will have some dark chocolate, chia pod with some blueberries or some natural peanut butter. I use so smash a bag of skittles years ago.
I have nearly completely cut the grog to a couple of drinks a month. Could do sober challenge with wife (she drinks more than me).
We live in Sydney and when we visit family in Melbourne always have a blow out. Dinners and sweet biscuits and cakes with in laws etc, really is all about your environment. If the food is there I will eat it.
For those wanting to do this with your partner. Have a look at centr app, by Chris hemsworth. Really good workouts and meal plan, you can share the log in, select a recipe and add to shopping cart and syncs with your phone.
We have always struggled with cooking ideas mid week. This for us has been a game changer.
I’m amazed anyone still drinks soft drink.
Yeah pouring rum and coke into your body is a version of poison*
*delicious though
Your body’s wants more little fat lamb!
Eat everything you like, in moderation. Unless of course you’re allergic. YOLO.
That looks so good. What is it?
They’re blowing up on YouTube the last 12 months.
The Yanks call them Chaffles (cheese waffles).
Minimally, all you need…
A couple of eggs & a handful of grated cheese.
In the ones pictured above, I also put in a teaspoon of Psyllium Husk and a tablespoon of nutritional yeast to make it more toast like in texture, and a bit of Olive Oil.
It’s absolutely delicious with tomato, or sautéed mushrooms or diced Avocado.
This is more like a bread substitute in Waffle form.
A mix of Almond flour, Hemp Flour, Flaxmeal, Coconut flour, baking powder, 1 egg, and a tablespoon of coconut oil.
Home-made mixed berrie jam on top…
A dollop of Double Cream on top
yum
just ate 30 bucks of red rooster
try again next week lel
Whipped up some of those chaffles this morning for brekky. 1 egg and 1/2 cup grated mozzarella then in the waffle iron for 3-4 mins. Served em up with some bacon and a poached egg and homemade bbq sauce.
Not behd. Not behd at all.
I’ll try em with some almond flour or psyllium husk next time, see how they go.
Sugar is by far a bigger issue.
Good mate.
Just remember, once you start adding flour substitutes, you may need some baking powder (1/4 teaspoon or less) to make it airier.
Just experiment a bit.
CRUNCHY ISOLATION HOT CHOCOLATE
Are you too a useless middle aged male that lives on his own and occasionally runs out of fresh milk ?
Well fear not people.
Remember that bag of powdered milk you bought at the beginning of this whole sh*tshow ?
Drag it out from the back of the pantry…we’re making delicious crunchy hot chocolate.
2 main ingredients…
Obviously, use fresh milk if you have it
You know that cheap coffee grinder you no longer use because you realised you need to spend 5 times as much to achieve a decent coffee grind, well plonk that little guy back on your counter top.
It will grind our cacao nibs perfectly.
Only pulse a few times (we want some bigger pieces in there) !
Place grinded cacao nibs and milk in small pot and heat till almost boiling.
Add your choice of sweetener.
I use a combo of brown erythritol and liquid monk fruit, but coconut sugar would work well.
Optional…few drops of Vanilla Extract.
Use a small stick blender near the end of the heating process to create some foam…
Pour the contents into your most pretentious glass and enjoy
For extra decadence and low carb douche-baggery, add in some NZ Grass Fed butter !
I love it how he says this…
… and then feels the need for …
I mean, seriously - I’m SURE you’ve got enough in there already!
Choc-a-block with douchebaggery, you might say.
Thank you…I try
