Posted by Susie T. on July 12, 2014 in Dr. Westman's No Sugar, No Starch Page 4 - Low Carb Keto Meal Plans, Gluten Free Recipes, Low Carb Keto Recipes | 4 comments

Fluffy Chix Cook prepares Day 7 of Dr. Westman’s and Duke Lifestyle Medicine Clinic’s No Sugar No Starch Page 4 Meal Plan featuring a low carb ketogenic portable Sunday brunch of convenience. Making a BOB (Breakfast on a Bun) is never a bad thing. Make them ahead for even more convenience! Then pop one out, warm it and enjoy a no-stress morning with coffee. Have a little afternoon snack of sausage and cheese, perfectly keto and delicious. Dinner is a slow cooked pulled pork shoulder that will make awesome leftovers in a variety of flavors and iterations! And of course, enjoy a little sugar free gelatin. Keto, gluten free, low carb heaven that is also VERY diabetic friendly. Who would be hungry on this meal plan? The full Page 4 friendly day rings in at 20g total, non-netted carbs.

Day 7 of Dr. Westman’s No Sugar No Starch Diet begins today. It’s the last day of the week and time to begin preparation for the week ahead. Tomorrow Week 2 begins and I will make my official weigh-in. I know I’m enjoying myself, but don’t feel like I’m losing weight. The cals (which I’m not officially counting are much higher than what I’m used to eating–as much as 800+ calories more than usual! So I will be thrilled to see no weight gain.

Spirits are still very good, energy feels pretty good. Pain is still chronically high in my back, but I have strong hopes for the future. Despite the pain, I “think” I maybe sleeping marginally better-and this is all in the days before starting NSNS Diet. No doubt I’m in ketosis. That faint metallic taste on the back of my tongue tells me as do the other signs I’ve mentioned before today. Very little hunger, but once I start eating it all tastes so good, that I don’t want to stop. I might not eat lunch today depending.

Also, the pulled pork shoulder may seem like a LOT of meat. Feel free to use a partial cut of sholder or pork shoulder chops aka country style ribs. But the meat portions and freezes and can provide many meals very cheaply. We paid $0.99/lb on sale for this 8 1/2 pound full shoulder or butt. You can probably understand why a full shoulder is better than paying $2.49/lb for the same thing in a 3 1/2 to 4 lb cut. The first meal is always eaten as pork roast. We later switch it up to BBQ, Cajun debris, crack slaw, green enchiladas, green chili, chili red, pork street tacos, chalupas, BOBs, BIBs, pork with eggs, salads, slaws, so many derivations for this lovely meat, and no two meals feel like you’re eating the same thing twice! Beauty, eh?

My Goals For Week 1:

1. Keep weekday meal prep to a minimum.

[Try to prep ahead (which I already missed cuz I didn’t cook on Sunday like I should). Will try to get a couple of hours in the kitchen today to bust a move with make-ahead recipes.]

2. Keep recipes super simple and 1-2 servings only.

3. Eat ONLY until hunger is satisfied and NOT until full!

(Even though the portion I computed and allowed myself is reasonable, I will try to follow my hunger and quit eating at the first sign of being full! If I’m not hungry, I will not eat and will skip the meal. So the menu below represents the maximum of what would be consumed today.)

You may notice a discrepancy when adding the total carbs shown by line-item. Do not be overly concerned. MasterCook 9 rounds numbers, so when the individual recipes are combined in a daily meal, the total is calculated to include decimals points. This may result in a +/- difference of 1-2 g of carbs. The Daily Total value is the more accurate figure. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience!
