Quote: Some people choose to add dairy. ALL of us experience stalls when too much dairy is consummed!! You are not alone! Nuts get me too.
THe sausages are a problem, as all the commerical products add sugar; and I stay away from the deli counter except for cheeses. I've noticed even deli roast beef gets my cravings roaring.
I use a lot of oo and butter both, and a little canola oil. Along with beef fats, and chicken fats, etc. Margarine-- I quit that over 20 years ago-- geez, the years are marching on. My kids have never had margarine. Even DH stopped buying it a few years ago. I follow Atkins because it is not as limiting as Paleo--this is what works for me. I love both broiled tiny cabbages in oo with salt AND frozen broccali in butter. I figure it is ALL better than what most SAD dinners are.
My kids like this:
Mix in a mug: 1 T butter melted, 1 T cream, 1 whole egg, few drops peppermint ext or vanilla
Add: 1T cocoa, 1 T splenda, 2T ground almonds.
Microwave about 1 minute.
You can alter the ingredients to make it paleo, use cocoanut oil ; not sure if you are allowed splenda. Which is why I like Atkins-- a little more freedom. ANd I LOVE home made blue cheese dressing to go on my greens. YUM. Hate the bottled stuff.
I sleep a LOT better since permanently going low carb-- not more waking up at night, and watching TV for hours. I have much more energy too. No afternoon slump-- none. Love it!!
