As I navigate the intriguing, albeit challenging, waters of week 6 on my keto journey, it feels like the right moment to reflect and share a slice of my daily life with you. Today, I want to take you through a day in my life, specifically focusing on my dietary choices which, let’s be honest, have become more of a finely tuned art form at this point.
Morning greeted me with a comforting yet simple breakfast. My plate was a testament to my commitment: two eggs paired with two pork meatballs. The simplicity of this meal belies the energy it provides, fueling my body without breaking my carb bank. Alongside my plate, a 12oz mocha breve stood as my indulgence for the day. There’s something about the rich, creamy texture that makes it feel like a treat, even if it’s perfectly in line with my dietary goals.
As the afternoon waned into evening, my choices echoed the rhythm of a typical day. A 12 ounce mocha breve and a slice of sharp cheddar cheese constituted my late afternoon snack. Yes, another breve, but who’s counting? The smoky flavor of the coffee paired with the tanginess of the cheese was a small moment of culinary delight in my otherwise structured day. Soon after, another piece of sharp Tillamook cheddar found its way to me. It’s the small pleasures, I tell you.
Evening came with its whispers of sweetness, a call I answered with 21g of dark chocolate followed closely by 21g of almond butter. There’s an understated elegance in ending the day on such notes; a richness that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
In these moments of choosing and enjoying my food, there’s an underlying strategy, a “back pocket” plan, if you will. It’s about having those go-to options that align with my goals, that I can rely on without much thought. It’s the simplicity in complexity, the planned spontaneity of a keto life that keeps me on track without feeling trapped.
As I share these snippets with you, it’s not just about the meals or the diet itself. It’s about the journey, the adjustments, and the small victories. It’s a testament to the idea that with the right mindset, even the most daunting of changes can become second nature.
I’d love to hear from you in the comments below. What are your “back pocket” foods or strategies that help you stay on track with your dietary goals? How do you balance the structure of a diet plan with the joy of eating? Let’s exchange ideas and inspire each other to keep pushing forward, one meal at a time.
