My 1st Meal of the Day is usually my most important and "heavy".
I only eat after 10.30AM.
I only eat 2 Meals a Day.
My 1st Meal has to have:
1. Fats - Animal Fats being a priority.
Nuts and fermented dairy(kefir,cheese) comes in here.
2. Proteins - Animal Proteins being a priority.
Nuts and fermented dairy comes in here.
3. Vegetables - Leafy greens as a priority & starchy(eg avocado, tomato, onions, okra, pumpkins, eggplants, cauliflower, cucumber, brocoli, etc) in small quantity.
4. Carbs - Just a ¼ of the plate. This comes from the starchy vegetables,nuts,fermented dairy.
This gives me about 30-50g net carbs per day.
NB: During my carb-loading period(a 1 month period every 3 months when I eat starches),I add in my menu foods such as matoke, sweet potato, cassava, arrow roots).
Target is about 100-150g net cabrs per day.
During this period, I increase my exercise frequency and intensity.
I do carb loading to test how my body responds to a bit higher source of carbs/glucose.
NB: This carb loading strategy will work well only with Insulin Sensitive people and not those who are Obese, Insulin Resistant,Pre Diabetic, Diabetic, Arthritic, Goutic, etc.
Photo 1 has a Clean Keto Meal.
Below 50g Net carb.
Photo 2 has a Low Carb Meal. Above 50g to below 150g Net carbs.
Hope you learnt something new.
