How low can you go?!
I was really looking forward to this challenge. WAS being the key word. 100 grams of carbs per day is an interesting number. It's low enough that I can't have pasta, rice, goldfish crackers, m&ms, and a bagel everyday, but still high enough that I don't feel like it's a diet (in the restrictive sense). Unfortunately, it's also high enough that i feel like I have a lot of wiggle room cheating potential. So today I decided to go lower. I'm not planning on staying this low for long, maybe just today and tomorrow, but I can tell you, it helped. Knowing I had zero wiggle room has helped keep me focused! I will also tell you that the sugar withdrawal headache I'm rocking right now can go to hell.
Anyway, I had this lovely little lunch that was leftover from dinner last night. Seared tofu that had been coated with cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes and then seared off in coconut oil. Paired with sauteed green beans with a kiss of sesame oil (just a kiss, that shit is potent. It's NOT a cooking oil, it's a condiment. Remember that).
Off to make a nice meatless loaf using TVP (textured vegetable protein) with a side dish of vodka (or maybe cauliflower or chardonnay).

How was the meatless loaf?
ReplyDeleteit's really good! i've made it twice now. it doesn't really stay together well until you let it sit in the fridge (so the leftovers hold together), but it's really tasty! I think it would hold together better with another egg, but i only like to use 1, so i'll deal with it not looking pretty
