Entering week five of my keto journey, the sense of routine and newfound appreciation for the foods I can enjoy has truly set in. Let me walk you through a day in my life, now deeply immersed in the ketogenic lifestyle, and how I navigate my meals throughout the day.
My morning began as it often does, with the comforting ritual of a cup of coffee. I allowed myself a little indulgence with a splash of heavy cream, savoring the rich, creamy texture it adds to the brew. Not long after, feeling the need for a bit more caffeine, I opted for another cup of coffee, this time black. Its boldness was a perfect match for the quiet of the early morning.
As mid-morning approached, my thoughts turned towards sustenance that would carry me through to lunch. A piece of Colby jack cheese provided just the right amount of satiety, without weighing me down. The simplicity of cheese, with its subtle complexities, has become something I look forward to.
By late morning, the urge for something a bit more substantial, yet still within my dietary bounds, led me to enjoy an 8oz breve. The richness of this drink is something I’ve come to cherish, especially on days that demand a bit more from me, both physically and mentally.
The afternoon brought with it a hint of indulgence – a small serving of dark chocolate, a bowl of chili verde, and a modest handful of mixed nuts. This combination not only satisfied my hunger but also provided a moment of culinary enjoyment, blending the rich, bold flavors of the chili with the creamy, complex notes of the chocolate and the crunchy, earthy texture of the nuts.
As the day began to wind down, my thoughts turned to dinner. I opted for a Bacon Cheeseburger from BurgerFi, wrapped in lettuce instead of the traditional bun. This choice was a nod to my commitment to keto, without sacrificing the joy of a tasty burger.
Evening found me enjoying a piece of sharp cheddar, a fitting end to a day marked by thoughtful food choices that align with my keto lifestyle. The cheese’s boldness was a perfect capstone, its flavor lingering pleasantly as I reflected on the day.
