Primal Kitchen

What's in a primal kitchen?  Extra virgin first cold press olive oil.  Almond and coconut flour.  Coconut milk, butter, all types of green vegetables, carrots, beets, berries, beef, fish, fowl, eggs, onions, hard cheeses, feta, an assortment of vinegar, ghee and the former Ms. Kelly Korg. 

Meals this week included bacon and egg fritata's, cottage cheese and tomatoes, or beets or pineapple.  Lunch was celery stalks with almond butter or salad with leftovers or eggs.  Supper was more salad, broccoli, brussel sprouts, green beans, beets, sliced tomatoes and chicken, trout, steak or ribs. 

I drank at least a gallon of water and my reward was a complete loss of a Saturday.  I was so sick and dizzy all day Saturday and most of today.  I am going to check to see if this is common for anyone else.  I should have been all done with the "carb flu".  I have not cheated, so this is either something to do with being in ketosis or just plain vertigo.  I am on the mend now, and the good news is I did not eat much at all Saturday.  Weight loss will be tremendous at this rate. 

I am not going to stay in the state of ketosis long.  This week I will incorporate a larger variety of fruits.  I am planning to make some banana and walnut pancakes with coconut flour and use some honest to goodness maple syrup.  I am so looking forward to that recipe.  But I have not reached my weight loss goal so I am going to stick with portion control and very few "new" foods. 

Friday I bought some super cool Vibram five finger shoes. 

I am psyched about wearing them running tomorrow.  I've been wearing them around the house and I have to say I love the way they fit and wear.  It's been raining so the test will be getting down the driveway without feeling the rocks. 

I made it to the gym for two of my workouts this week.  I did my one long walk day driving the incline up and down on the treadmill to mimic hills, I upped the incline every minute for 20 minutes and lowered it every minute for 20 minutes keeping the pace as close as possible to a brisk walk.  That was a good workout.  I did my WOW in the gym for the first time and have to say there is a huge difference between being indoors and outdoors. 


Inspirations:  Planning to purchase a pair of skinny jeans, sleeping good all night and the knowledge that I don't need sugar. 


I'm feeling strong except for the dizziness.
