Keto diet

[exboyfil]

15. Yep I can't believe how much butter and olive oil I have consumed

It makes the food taste better so it is more satisfying, and, at least in my case, it has nothing to do with my cholesterol (unless it is positive).

When I cook beef or chicken, I brush my meat with olive oil and then season it. I then brush it occasionally as I turn it. I still cut off all fat that I can reach. I still remove skin from chicken.

I use two tablespoons of butter when I sauté an 8 oz mushroom container. I then pour the excess back into the pan to sauté peppers and onions (light on the onions - it is my one big vice under keto).

I make a lot of shrimp scampi but the scampi sauce goes over asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower.

I eat a bunch of vegetables. We are fortunate to get some recent sales on cauliflower so it has become a staple in our home (one of the few vegetables my wife likes).

I eat a small to medium avocado a day. I also have a fair amount of fish (sometimes in butter and sometimes in olive oil).

Roasted eggplant is wonderful especially with greek yogurt.
