WOW!!! 40 days friends! It is the last day of this blog and WOW! How my life has changed is absolutely AMAZING!!!
Ok, so recap about the past 40 days... no, it wasn't easy AT ALL at the beginning and the answer is simple 👇
I used to eat SOOOO many carbs and sugar; not that I had bad sugars but I did LOOOVE pastries, desserts... and well who doesn't... and fruits... remember I grew up in a fruit farm besides in the capital of Perú? ... but i never really considered what the carbs and sugars were doing to my body. My thought process was 👉 " I can eat WHATEVER I want if I work out and burn those calories."
Yup! That was my life for the past 33 years! Yes I am 33! Lol but these past 40 days made me realize how important it is to take care of our physical bodies and how important is to know how what we eat affects it. So... that being said, let me share something.
During the first weeks, although what I cooked was delicious, my body was confused as eff! 😂😂 it was SOO used to burn carbohydrates and sugars to use it as calories, so all the fat intake was like ... shit... wtf is happening?!?! Where are my carbs? And my sugars?
I did noticed that during the first week my physical body was fine, then I started feeling kinda sick. Some days I truly couldn't do anything. I didn't have the strength to work out or practice yoga, which I do pretty much every day! I felt SOO out of energy and sickly. Once I started feeling better, I noticed my body kinda blew up! Hahaha ok it sounds worse than what it was, but because it was absorbing so much fat, something it had never done before, the fat was being stored in places where I hold the weight whenever I gain some kilos or pounds, which are the love handles. It made me very uncomfortable at the beginning, but there was nothing I could do about it.
I was still kind with my physical body even though I wanted to work out like crazy and go back to my "normal" weight. The issues I had as a child, teenage years and most of my adult life (anorexia and bulimia), were triggered by the fact that I had gained weight, I felt "chubby" and I couldn't do much about it because I knew I was in a transition period and I knew I had to let my physical body adjust and not kill it with over exercising... which I've done before MANY MANY times.
My moon cycle (aka period) even got affected. Last month, the month of November, it only lasted for 2 days and it was late. I didn't know what was happening until D did more research and read that is common for that to happen for some women at the beginning. The thing is that is not that I was kinda trying to be full PB Keto, I WAS, we WERE and still are FULL Keto, so of course my being was gonna freak out looking for carbs and sugars within to burn and be confused as fuck about all the fat intake! 😂
Once I passed that period, I started to feel WAY better than ever! I began to go to the gym and practice yoga. The results were coming even faster than before and my body was feeling GREAT! I felt my mind and ego relaxing about the triggers this way of living had created and at the same time, I was truly grateful because it made me work on them, understand them and fully release them! 😍
These past 40 days were the trial to see how I felt about the Keto was of living and to be completely and absolutely honest, I LOOOVE it. Soo... this is our new life style. Lucky for me and D, I LOOVE cooking and making things for scratch; it's a way for me to Express and explore my creativity. However, in the near, super near future, we are having an oven! Because not being able to make my own bread, cookies and cakes was kinda making insane! 😂
Alright! Let's talk about the meals on this 40th day of Plant Based Keto! Shall we? 🤗
First things first: D's famous Bulletproof Café!!! 😍😍😍 Mmmm 😋😋😋
YEA! It makes me THAT happy! 🤗
After going to the gym, I made us a Protein Avocado shake. I used leafy greens, some chia seeds, cinnamon and vanilla extract for it. Of course Plant Based protein for mine and Whey Protein for his. 😜
I do love how creamy a shake becomes just by using avocado! He he he
We were out of MCT oil, so we went to Sunturi Keto for more "supplies" 😉 and to grab some food that we took back home to eat.
While we were waiting for the food to me ready, we shared a Kombucha! 😍😍😍 loooove me some Kombucha! 😋😋
Oh! How could I forget about you little ones?! We also got these babies at the store!
I ordered a pasta dish and since I am a special case ... when am I not? 😝😂... my meal was prepared specially with no animal products, and honestly, I just let them prepare whatever for me, since they know my restrictions, AND... it always tastes DELISH!!!! 😍🙏 #Grateful
So my brunch was pesto noodles with almonds, veggies, such as mushroom and onions with a little salad and grilled zucchini! Mmm 😋
Because dessert is SOO important... 😜... D served me some of the ice cream he had made and I added some cacao nibs! ✌
This is were I realized how much my body is already used to Keto and loves it! 👇
During the afternoon, I was craving something. It wasn't sugar, it wasn't carbs, it was fat!!! 🙀 I thought it was so odd yet at the same time completely AMAZING!!! This was the very first time and I was in AWE!
So I went to the Kitchen and I made my own version of Bulletproof Matcha Tea Latte that honestly, it was the BEST one I've had yet!
I used Coconut Milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, Erytritol, butter and of course MCT oil. I blended it all to perfection and 🙀! 😍👌😋👌!!! All the emojis to the infinite power!! Lol Yes, I am a nerd! 😝
I also had prepared Coconut Yogurt two days ago and it was finally ready!
I tried it and although it was still a bit watery the taste was 👌! 🤗
For dinner, I really wanted breakfast stuff. So I decided to make a stuffed omelette with grilled mushrooms and Vegan Blue Cheese. One word : WOW! 😍
Yup! Just WOW!
I served it with a little salad: lettuce and green onions with a bit of Coconut Aminos, salt and pepper.
It was SOO good and cheesy that I had totally forgot to take a pic of the inside. SOOOO... this is the reason why the plate looks SOO messy! Lol
Wow! 😂😂 See? I'm still in AWE about how GOOD dinner was! 😊
Little recap about this 40 days 👇
Extremely transformational and for SURE my new way of life! I am DEFINITELY completely grateful that D even mentioned this, because prior to that, I don't think I had heard about it and if I had it was like Meh, whatevs!
