What an unhealthy looking bunch of stuff in this shopping cart!

Notes:

  1. That brown bag contains wild caught Arctic char
  2. There’s 4 pounds of chicken skins obscured by the other stuff, frying a pound of them up right now!

Lesson learned: “stop when you’re full” is easily said until you have a pound of crispy fried or roasted chicken skins in front of you!

I love seeing people’s grocery hauls.

Chicken skin looks amazing. I need to find a supplier!

Me, too!

Gabe - why the unsalted Kerrygold? Just curious.

I got the stank eye from the woman behind me while I was checking out at Trader Joe’s. I had eggs, heavy cream, butter, a couple of ribeye steaks, some canned pink salmon, and some broccolini! She looked at me (yes, I am overweight), and then looked at my groceries, then looked at me again. I had to laugh once I was out of the store!

Too funny!

:laughing:

Yeah, maybe in 4-5 months when I’ve lost more weight, she would wonder how come I’m so skinny when I’m eating all that fat!!! :wink:

(Gabe “No Dogma, Only Science Please!” ) #13

Yeah in all fairness I’m still tweaking my diet. I probably overconsume all three macros. Today I overshot my protein goal and ate a pound of chicken skin, easily doubling or tripling my fat goal for the day.

I’m pretty sure that until I’m my goal weight I’ll probably end up doing what Phinney says: protein stable, keep carbs low, and then eat fat to satiety, but will likely find that when I’m strict about eating to satiety I’ll only be consuming, maybe, 50% of my calories as fat. until I hit my goal weight the shortfall is supposed to be made up for from body fat.

I think people who have a lot more fat to lose than me can get away with a LOT more Atkinsy shopping carts and still keep losing that body fat!.. though I’ve been completely keto indulgent recently!

Haha that is priceless. I was at my local grocer and the woman behind the counter was waiting for me to decide which bacon I wanted. I was taking my time and looking through everything they had, and inadvertently let slip, “I’m looking for bacon that has a lot of fat on it, cause I’m on a diet”. The look she gave me was really funny. :rofl:

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #15

And then it’s not so easily said because your mouth is full? :rofl:

#16

Good grief. Any possibility she was keto and just too shy to ask?

#17

LOL :joy:

#18

Ha! No idea! I would think that if she was keto she would say something. I would have if I was her.

I’ve had two restaurant servers so far who have said, “Let me guess, keto?” And both were happily keto themselves and offered me extra fat, either by way of extra butter or extra cheese. :slight_smile: One even offered me her purse stevia packets for my coffee!!! So nice, we are all just like family. We argue a lot but when you get down to it we all only have each other in a world trying to kill us with carbage. I got your back, man! <3

LOL. Next time, open up the carton of heavy cream and down it or start tearing out chunks from a stick of butter with your teeth. ALL WITHOUT BREAKING EYE CONTACT with her.
