What is the Keto friendly salad made of?

Hi A… let’s see – mostly the same things – spinach – walnuts (or some other nuts), feta cheese, diced cucumber, tomato, hard-boiled egg, pieces of chicken (thigh meat) and strawberries. Maybe red pepper – we usually buy the freshest seasonal veggies and fruits

I also enjoy a Big S Salad several times a week. This week, Greek 🙂 Your egg dish looks good!
I’d never heard of blackberries used for indigo color. I kinda know a lot about dye/paint/pigment, and I just don’t think that’s right.
I had learned bananas are not only herbs, but berries, too.
I’d rather eat bananas and blackberries than do anything else with them! 😛

Well I am with YOU on a few times a week – I just cannot have salad every day – not in the mood.
and also with ya on the blackberries – I heard that were other plants used for indigo…. but I am sure any staining berry could have been tapped.
I still scratch my head about banana – I get the berry thing – seeds and all – but why the herb?

Your salad looks delish! I eat a similar one everyday for lunch-( no chicken or egg in it though) Is quinoa included in a Keto diet?

That is a good question – hubs just said “probably not” if it’s a grain.
I eat it once in a while – but I’m not die hard keto – I had to eat for bioterrain health – but he is die-hard keto –
And your daily lunch salad sounds like a good routine – mmmmm

It’s not a grain it’s a seed! I’m gluten intolerant so that’s why I eat it…like a grain not a grain!

yeah – I looked it up while replying to you – even though I sorta knew about it cos we were eating it last year with salads – anyhow, in my understanding it is “a whole-grain food” because the “seeds are processed” = ((but I am still learning here too)_
however, I think that quinoa is an overpriced for what you get:
“After cooking, which is the typical preparation for eating, quinoa is 72% water, 21% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% fat”
but if folks like it – then hey – enjoy it.
However, the keto-evangelist site they say no, no fluffy puppy – – here:
https://www.ketovangelist.com/5-non-carb-foods-you-absolutely-must-avoid/
“Okay. Quinoa (pronounced: keen-wah) is a grain harvested in South America and has recently been labeled a “superfood”. I have had conversations with people, ketogenic people, who will insist that quinoa is not a carb, but, instead, that it’s a protein. This is because quinoa is VERY high in protein. For a grain. It has 24g of protein per cup. It also has 109g of carbs per cup. I’m not a math person, but I’m pretty sure that the ratio of carbs to protein is 4:1, so that makes it a carb, not a protein. But for those people who insist that it is a “superfood” and “high in protein”, I say this: Get rid of it. It must be removed.”

And don’t feel like you have to reply in length – but I had a minute to reply and here is how we went keto (in a nut shell):
– yes – his goal was to lose weight and get fit. After 18 months of daily workouts (lots of cardio ) he was not seeing much body change – puzzled – then got a trainer – Jason Lacey in RVA – who started him in right direction with huge suggestion to track intake and aim to lower carbs to 30grams per day (
Then he used the app “my fitness pal” –
And “shortcut to shred” app –
But the real success for him came with marks daily apple info (who I have followed off and on since 2014)
170 grams of fat
135 grams of protein
30 grams of carbs
5% of the calories are carbs –
Anyhow – he saw results within one week and has tapered off but he works out different and eats different and has the resubhlts he wanted –
Thanks for asking Lisa –
I am going to make some posts about going keto –
But not sure when – hopefully soon
– and for me – I accidentally went keto because I had to rebuild my bioterrian and that was he path that helped me do it – it also cleaning my gut and using supplements –
And last tidbit
Some people SLAM the idea of keto and I have to watch where I mention it – seriously – it is like people defend their carbs to the max
And one sweet friend even said “but we need carbs for our fuel”
However – in keto – u become fat adapted and use fats and proteins as a fuel – it is a paradigm shift for the body and it can take a while to adjust – and my spouse had a few times of feeling the keto flu (but all healing changes can have a healing crisis or herxheimer reaction and so we go slow and adjust )
And so here is what I tell anyone who wants to know more about ketogenic lifestyle –
Check out marks daily apple blog
And if a person slams the idea of keto – well all I have to say is that if what they are doing is working for them – keep doing it – seriously – eat their pasta and bread and grains and thru e – but
If someone is ill – this eating plan could be part of their medicine –
Ketogenic diet has been shown to help folks reduce eipileptic fits – helps with malabsorption problems (often from systemic fungal inefectione) and can be a huge part of cancer remission (cos many cancers – not all – but many – feed on sugar and carbs are processed in the body as sugar) – I also like the bulketproof blog and for me – LOGOS multivitamins were a catalyst for my health – I get no perk for name dropping – this is just what has worked for us – and the thymic formula vitamins from logos helped me rebuild me bio terrain cos – but so did herbs and many other trial and error experimenting –
Lastly – my favorite item this last few months has been “acetyl l carnintie” which Trader Joe’s sells for five dollars ☺️ Omg does my body LOve it
