Ph Diet, Banting, Ketogenic diet

I've been on the diet for almost 2 weeks now.  Monday I hit a snag as I entered the sugar bitch phase of the month!  So a Crispy Cream, Custard slice and 2 Cream slices later I can hardly complain that my body is not in Ketosis!   

The scale hasn't been overly kind but I was very excited Saturday night when I managed to zip up a skirt that wouldn't zip up 2 weeks ago :-) 

I have been having Melon when I wake up, which is quite refreshing and good for bringing my ph level up a bit, I'm trying to get it to a neutral 7.   About an hour later, after I've done the school run and such I have some breakfast if I'm feeling hungry.  Either a bit of mango and strawberry with plain Onken yoghurt and a bit of double cream or an omelette with kale, asparagus heads and mushrooms, all fried either in butter or coconut oil.  

NB! Found some of that spray on coconut oil and it smells DISGUSTING when you spray it on and is rubbish as doesn't actually cook very well so avoid it! I've gone back to a normal tub of proper coconut oil, which is great for cooking with and you can take a teaspoon and swish it around in your mouth for a few minutes in the morning to draw toxins from your tongue and help whiten your teeth.  Also good to give a teaspoon to the dog for a healthy coat :-)

For supper we usually have a big salad with mixed leaves, cucumber, tomato and peppers and then add

Tuna, bacon and Helmans mayonaise or

a piece of white cod fried in butter and then add double cream and dill (yummy!)

or a piece of salmon cooked in foil with a fish stock cube

or a chop, cooked with Steers spice, so yummy being able to eat the fat too :-)

These are really filling meals and we usually have them as a late lunch, which will keep us full till later

In the evening if we are hungry or feeling peckish we will have some fruit in plain Onken yoghurt with some cream and honey drizzled over the top

Another favourite of mine at the moment is iced coffee!

Crushed ice, 2 teaspoons of coffee, 2 teaspoons of yellow sweetener,400 ml full cream milk and about 100-200ml double cream, blitz and put in the freezer for a bit to properly chill.
