I’m not a fan of children’s poetry.
But I had to share this.
Why?
Just to show what a Low Carb - Keto - Carnivore plate can look like.
Baby Lamb Chops.
Here is the before I ate it pic.
I purchased these baby lamb chops from Sprouts grocery store in Marlton, NJ.
Here is what they looked like before cooking.
I added some Greek olive oil as well as a Greek seasoning mix from Spice and Tea exchange in Haddonfield.
Here is the after pic. Just about clean to the bone.
Does it look better upside down.
They were yummy as usual.
Cooked to a temp of about 140 degrees.
Next time I will add a little extra garlic salt.
My vegetable and starch??
Nope.
Not for me.
I did have a dessert though.
Some fresh organic blueberries and raspberries topped with whipped cream.
Sorry I forgot to take a pic of the dessert.
Thinking back as to what my great great great ancestors probably ate. I believe they were hunters and dairy farmers. So lamb chops with some fresh colorful wild berries and whipped cream, well……
If you like lamb, what are your favorite cuts?
At home I only make chops, both the baby ones and the thicker loins, but the thicker chops taste best on the outdoor grill, and I am too lazy to use the grill outside in the cold weather.
If you like lamb shanks, try Zaffrons, a really good restaurant also in Haddonfield, NJ.
Why no vegetable or starch?
I feel best with minimal vegetable and starch.
Natural protein and fat keeps me feeling good, keeps my metabolism optimal, and keeps my Gut and Immune system functioning well. With Winter approaching quickly and cold, flu, strep and yes still COVID season upon us, we all need to keep our metabolism, gut and immune systems as optimal as possible.
I’m going to try a new hopefully recurring feature. Just something I have seen and found it thought provoking.
Quote of the Day
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
- C.S. Lewis
That quote makes me think of all my IMW members who came to my practice because they decided to stop doing the “traditional medicate a symptom problem” and instead decided to work with me to get to the root cause and reverse the problem instead.
They decided they wanted a different ending from what they were being led to in the traditional healthcare system.
That’s what I thought of when reading the quote. What did you think about?
As always, questions and comments welcome.
At the risk of having to now compete with more shoppers ;), Aldi seasonally carries beautifully seasoned lamb roasts that are amazing on the grill or under the broiler. I usually buy up what they have when they have it (and freeze it) as I am always feeding an army when roasted lamb is on the menu. It is sold as organic so it has nothing baaaaaaaa-d in it. Cheers.
That quote makes me think me of all the times I get mad at myself for living the lifestyle I did (crap food, no exercise, and little sleep) and pulling the trigger on those autoimmunes just waiting to be expressed. I know I am doing all the right things now, so I try to keep that in mind and just move forward and healing them as best I can. This quote sums that up perfectly.
