Hey there, y'all! Welcome back to my blog, Fat & Fifty Man's Keto! Today is day three, and I'm feeling like a lean, mean, bacon-eating machine.
Yesterday
was a wild ride, let me tell you. I was going to make myself a nice
keto-friendly lunch when I got some news that sent me flying out the door for a
few hours. By the time I got back, all I had time for was a bag of locally made
chicharrónes and a Coke Zero. I know, I know, I shouldn't be drinking that
stuff, but let's face it, if I have to give up bacon AND soft drinks, what's
the point of living?
For dinner,
the wife and I had a special event to go to, so we just had some simple tuna
and fresh veggies. Nothing to write home about, but it got the job done.
Now, on day
three, I decided to spice things up a bit by adding some Apple Cider Vinegar
(ACV) to my salty lime surprise morning drink. My good friend suggested it, and
I trust the guy, so I figured why not give it a shot. Well, let me tell you, it
was the worst thing I've ever tasted. It was like drinking liquid regret. But
hey, I'm committed to this keto thing, so I chugged it down and hoped for the
best. If my taste buds could talk, they'd be filing for divorce right about
now.
But you
know what? I made it to my 18-hour fasting goal today, and it was a piece of
(sugar-free) cake. I drank plenty of water and kept myself busy to avoid
boredom eating.
For lunch,
I whipped up some scrambled eggs with bell peppers, onions, bacon, and cheese.
Trust me, the butter and heavy cream are your friends when it comes to creamy
eggs. And for dinner, I made a tasty chicken and veggie stir-fry with my own
keto stir-fry sauce recipe (which I'll share below).
So there
you have it, folks. Day three in the books, and I'm feeling pretty darn good.
Stay tuned for more keto adventures from this bacon-loving, funny (at least I
like to think so) fat & fifty man.
The Fat & Fifty Man's Keto Stir-Fry Sauce
Ingredients:
1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos (for a soy-free option)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Stevia or other keto-friendly sweetener
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
Instructions:
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce or coconut
aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sweetener, ginger, and garlic until well
combined.
If you want a thicker sauce, sprinkle in the xanthan gum and
whisk until it's fully incorporated.
Use the sauce immediately in your stir-fry recipe or store
it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Note: This recipe makes enough sauce for a single stir-fry
recipe. If you need more sauce, simply double or triple the recipe as needed
If you'd like to add some heat to your keto stir-fry sauce,
you can try adding one or more of the following ingredients:
Red pepper flakes: Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or
add more if you prefer a spicier sauce.
Sriracha sauce: (my personal favorite) Add a teaspoon or two
of sriracha sauce to the stir-fry sauce and whisk well to combine.
Chili paste: Add a tablespoon of chili paste to the sauce
and mix well. Adjust the amount according to your desired level of heat.
Cayenne pepper: Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper into the
sauce and whisk well.
Remember to taste the sauce as you go and adjust the amount
of heat to your preference. Enjoy your spicy keto stir-fry sauce!
