Motivation

[Penroy]

I have fallen off the sugar wagon and can’t get back on. I don’t have a confidant. Getting very tired with all the fall yard work and nothing to reward myself with but food. Any suggestions?

Hello @Penroy

Virtual hugs first.

My suggestion is to start thinking about low carb things that are treats. I'm very much a comfort eater so I totally get. Some suggestions below- but there are many others.

Savoury
cheese
beef jerky
proscuittio
parmesan cheese crisps (spread some parmesan cheese on some baking paper, put it in the microwave and microwave for about 1 min (depending on quantity and microwave) wait for it to cool. Have with pate or olive dip or something

Sweet
diet jelly (I freeze it and have it with cream- takes longer and has a crunch)
Cream with sugar free maple syrup
keto custard- google the recipe
strawberries- cut up so it seems more with cream.

There's a few let us know what sorts of things work for you so we can come up with more ideas.

The other thing I would say is to fill up on proper food (mainly protein with some fats). Eg:
a steak
crispy skin salmon
just the burger from a McDonald- in Australia we have an Angus burger at McDonald which is just beef, I eat the cheese of course but not the bun or sauces-my chooks get those.
eggs and bacon

Glad you posted this @Penroy as this has happened to me this week, it’s been an absolute nightmare and all my own doing. I’m looking forward to reading all the suggestions from this lovely supportive group.

Thank you @VashtiB for posting the suggestions. You've also reminded me it helps if I write down a loose menu so I know I have the food available to cook and eat
