I like this diet because it allows me to limit myself to food that does not need to be fermented into sugar in my gut. This diet is not for everyone, but it works for me. I eat animal products, which can include meat, fish, other seafood, cheese, butter, cream, eggs and coffee. I know, coffee is not an animal product. But it's an exception I allow myself to have.
You might think that this diet would get boring if all I ever ate was burgers or steak or even seafood. You might also expect it would be super expensive and involve no culinary creativity. But it does not have to be that way at all. Bacon, eggs, cream cheese, coffee and cream were the ingredients for today's lunch, pictured above.
The blintz was made of three egg yolks fried on butter in the pan like an omelette, with cream cheese added on top, then rolled up and fried some more. The cream cheese melted beautifully, and even though no sugar or flour were added, it tasted quite a lot like the blintzes I remember from my childhood. The bacon on the side was nice and crispy, and it gave a needed contrast in texture to the soft blintz.
The iced coffee contained ice cubes also made of coffee, together with real cream and whipped cream on top. The meal disappeared pretty fast, but I was not hungry for seconds. It was plenty good enough as is!
Meanwhile, Bow enjoyed his high carb meal, consisting of a bagel with cream cheese, an apple, a banana and a soft drink. To each his own!
I think you should do a post about your coffee drink as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia. That is a good idea! I hope you can also do a guest post here soon about some of your dishes and drinks that you make.
DeleteI made something today, but looked a bit sad, so I want to wait until another day when I can make the dish look nicer.
DeleteYes, that is fine. Of course, the only thing that really matters is how it tastes, and how it makes you feel. But I understand wanting to make it look pretty for a picture.
