It’s slow cooker season, well, isn’t it always? Carolyn really means business with this chocolate cake! Fellow chocolate lovers will rejoice that this is actually Low Carb, because it tastes sinfully delicious. I made a batch last night. It was moist and incredibly satisfying. I used Stevia instead of Swerve, because that’s what I had on hand. I actually had never heard of swerve sweetener before connecting with Carolyn. Thank you for the tip! It turned out great and everyone was saying MORE, MORE, MORE!

Lisa from LowCarbYum.com said…

Mexican Zucchini and Ground Beef  is her go-to meal. “With my busy schedule, I don’t always have a lot of time for cooking so I put together a great collection of 30 easy low carb ground meat recipes on my blog that I like to refer to for quick meal ideas. Ground beef is one of the most budget friendly cuts of meat too! Ground meat skillet dishes are quick, easy, inexpensive, and delicious. That’s why a ground beef and vegetable skillet meal is my go to low carb dish.”

She also said “We have our venison processed into ground burger meat during hunting season so we eat a lot of hamburger meat based dishes. My favorite and most popular dish is a Mexican Zucchini and Ground Beef dish.” You can find the recipe here

Now that I think about it, this was one of my Moms go-to meals wen I was a kid. Aaaaahhhh nice memories….

My fav LCHF meal is a Low Carb Burger! Taking a look at this image, I can see why this would be a fave. I’ve included my recipe below for the best tasting burgers in the world! I also, put a twist on them to make them moist and Low Carb by substituting chia seeds soaked in milk instead of breadcrumbs soaked in milk. It may sound gross, but it’s actually amazing! Not only does this make the most juicy burgers, it also gives extra omega 3’s. How awesome is that?

I like to slather mine with ketchup & mayonnaise (together on top) and mustard on the bottom… it has to go in that order. Tomatoes have to go on the mayo. I find it makes the perfect “sauce” when the juice of the tomatoes mixes with the ketchup and mayo. I know…I’m weird. 

I have really good feelings about your dinner tonight if you make these. Like, I think I’ll stop by. K, thanks see ya soon!

The Structure of The Cheat Day- Interview With Tim Ferriss

The following explains the photos I posted yesterday about my cheat day. I find this so interesting. 

The Structure of The Cheat Day- Interview With Tim Ferriss

In terms of the structure of the cheat day, there are a couple of things you can do to minimize the fat gain during that cheat day.  The first is to just make your first meal when you wake up,  one small non-binge meal.  So my default tends to be one or two whole eggs – free-range organic eggs – two whole eggs with some spinach and vegetables, like in a small bowl.  It’s not a big meal.  And that will slightly inhibit your appetite for the rest of the day.  And it’s not a bad thing.  My next meal is usually I’ll walk down the hill to my favorite bakery, and I’ll get two chocolate crescents, a big cup of coffee and grapefruit juice.  And there are reasons for this.The rock-cheat-meal | www.4hourbodygirl.com

So the grapefruit juice, you’ll notice I’m breaking my rule but this is my day off.  If you have fructose, especially something like grapefruit juice, it flat lines your glucose response.  It can help prevent huge glucose spikes when you eat a bunch of crap.  So I will make a point of having this early in the day on my binge day.  It also solves fat loss.  But here’s the thing.  It solves fat loss, but for this particular day it will minimize fat gain.  So those are two different things, but it’s important to realize the difference.

The caffeine is also important.  You don’t have to consume caffeine, but by having coffee, and I’ll do this two or three time throughout the day, it increases the speed of gastric emptying, so the speed at which food leaves your stomach and passes through your digestive tract.  So what does that mean?    That means you’re absorbing through your calories.  So there’s a message to that madness as well.

And then throughout the day you can use various types of tricks.  In the chapter “Damage Control” one of them very simple would be just getting the juice from let’s say three to four limes or lemon wedges and consuming than before you have your meal, which when I tested – I had a medical device implanted in my sides to measure blood glucose 24/7 for about three weeks and tracked everything – it tends to lower the blood sugar response by at least 10%.  And that’s significant if you compound it over time.  Cinnamon also very helpful.  So I always put cinnamon in my coffee at the same time I have the pastries, which is usually my second crappiest meal of the day.

Lunch I might have let’s just say Thai food with some rice.  I usually don’t have rice, but I’ll have Thai food with rice because I love rice if I’m allowed to have it.  And then for dinner that’s when I’ll also go crazy, so I might have a huge full pizza, wild nettle pizza with an egg on top with some wine and then afterwards I’ll have an espresso and some ice cream.  And that’s pretty much what it looks like.

You can also use exercise very effectively during that day to minimize fat gain by understanding how you can increase insulin sensitivity.  I won’t go into all the details, but there are a lot of things you can do to prevent fat gain while binging.  So this is also very helpful for times like Christmas or Thanksgiving or New Years.

There you have it! The Structure of The Cheat Day- Interview With Tim Ferriss.
