[thedappleddragon]

ok time for 2 days worth of journaling

yesterday I discovered that if I take half of a mini bagel (because the store was out of bagel things), put on cream cheese and a slice of salami, you can make a pretty good bagel bite. I talked with my dad for a while about college things when he came home from work and brought groceries. I also made a frozen chicken Laredo pasta thing for dinner and ended up sharing it with my mom. dad and I shared ideas for what to add to it next time to make it better. I started with chopping up spinach, because I know it shrinks a bunch and is easy to hide in stuff. I want to try adding a little salt, maybe some garlic and onion, parmesan cheese, more greens, a bunch of stuff. idk. I like pretending to be a chef. but I talked with my ad about what kind of stuff I'll need for college, and how I'll probably need to buy real clothes and makeup so I dont look like a goblin who’s been existing solely in basketball shorts and pajama pants for the past year in quarantine.that;s why I made that post last night about fun girly sleepover or simple-ass makeup tutorial. I tried washing my face with an Olay soap bar, and it left my skin feeling nice but idk how good/bad it actually is for your face since its meant to be a body bar. I real online that a plain dove bar is actually pretty damn good for your face, but Olay was the only thing I had on hand. whatever. i played a bunch of stardew valley as well

I slept like shit last night, waking up at like 4 am and all mr dreams being shades of muted grey and brown and broken up into blocks, idk. I've been having weird abstract dreams and sleeping like shit for the past couple days. I think that's partially what cause my head to spin all afternoon. whenever I moved my head, it felt like my ghost was lagging behind my body if that makes sense. it sucked but got better when I moved around. I had my dad bring me water and Tylenol and then come back a second time to light my candle because he smelled like cigarettes and left the smell in my room. but I realized it was April fools day when I woke up, and contemplated how I was gonna prank my friends. I didnt come up with anything until my sister sent a picture of a crashed white Volvo, saying she failed her driving test. when my mom showed me I didnt believe her for a second, and folded over laughing when my mom was concerned about if it was real or not. I stole that joke and showed it to my 2 friend groups, with panicked misspelled texts to go with it for *authenticity* lmao. both groups fell for it at first, but band friends taking longer to catch on so I had to tell them it was a prank. my gamer friend in the other chat caught me almost IMMEDIATLY with reverse google image searching. but I laughed my ass off for a while either way. I didnt play any stardew today but I did play a little Webkinz. when my sister came back from her driving test, my dad brought home Dairy Queen blizzards and mentioned getting a nice-is dinner takeout :) unfortunately I waited forever for him to bring home food and it never happened. so my sister and I went through the mcdonalds drive through and got served by this absolutely DELIGHTFUL middle aged man who was very nice and funny and I told him she just got her license today. we went home and ate in my sisters room and watched John mulaney’s new in town. I had never actually watched the full special, but through Tumblr memes and a million animatics, I had pretty much seen everything. I had fun tho. we got regular chicken sandwiches when we porobably should have gotten the deluxe ones with lettuce and tomato and source or just gone to Wendy’s. tbh Wendy’s is SO MUCH FUCNKIN BETTER. and the mcdonalds was more expensive than I thought it would be. whatever. if we had gone to Wendy’s, sure we would have gotten better burgers, but we wouldn't have seen that deightful man. anyway earlier today I gave my cat some catnip and she was really cute about it. do cats drool more when they’re high? cuz damn it sure felt like it when she was mashing her face into my hand.  for lunch I made a different pasta thing, this time shrimp lomeign. I added spinach and broccoli, which I'm going to do for now and forever because it SLAPPED but my mom was acting like a child, saying broccoli is gross. she had me make spaghetti and proceeded to eat 3 or 4 bowls. I had a couple and went to my room. I realize that I'm typing all this shit WAYYYYY out of order, sorry to me reading back in the future or anyone who bothers to read these. tbh why would you. I hope people dont have my talk tag blocked (thanks for coming to my ted talk) and instead have 2021 daily blocked if they dont want to see these. I still make funny posts sometimes!! that’s also what I tag my art with!! but neither of those people would be able to read this anyway so I'm just preaching to the choir. anyway you’ll be happy to know that my head is no longer spinning, my teeth are nice and clean, I've got my comfy socks and pajama pants on, and I’m ready for bed. eventually. it’s not even midnight yet lmao. I guess I can mention this morning when my cat yelled at me asking to go outside, but it was literally FREEZING and im 100% sure I saw some snowflakes while I was out there for a couple minutes. she got so cold she climbed up on my lap as I was wrapped in my childhood sleeping bag I found in the laundry room. I breathed warm air on her and sat out there for another minute or so, mostly insulated by the sleeping bag, but carried her inside eventually. I didnt want to have to deal with that shit. tbh even tho I just had mcdonalds and it’s almost midnight and I've already brushed my teeth, I'm still a little bit hungry. but I dont know it’s that’s just because I'm lying down and your body takes a little while to tell you when you’re full, or if it’s because I waited for SO LONG waiting for city barbecue or bento cafe that just a burger and fries wasn't enough to cut it. well I'll just sleep it off anyway. you know what’s really cute? my cat laid on my lap and rested her chin on my hand as I typed :) I love her

May 18

Last night, I messaged brad some selfies of Leo. I’ve decided to name it Leo. He thinks I’m crazy but he joked that I got a new puppy to replace him. He didn’t seem too against it. I fell asleep with the puppy wrapped in a towel next to me. When I woke up I was on the couch in the living room. Brad and I talked a bit it was a nice conversation. My roommates were getting ready for classes and I was sooo tired. I couldn’t get up for a jog. I realized my classes started an hour later that day so I went back to my room to sleep. The puppy was sooo cute! I woke up and put it on top of me and went back to sleep and the little guy went up to my pillow and fell asleep curled up against my face. Adorable!!!

I eventually got up, did a bit of exercise that I learned from fitness club the other day. I cleaned up my bed in the case she messes with any of it and left her on the bed wrapped up in a towel.

I sat with lara, sofia, Julie, and marya at banquet. There was a debate about dress code cause sofia didn’t like that she had to tie her hair up. Especially because she walked through the buffet restaurant and ms anastasiia specifically came over to banquet to tell her to tie up her hair. Just follow the dress code, its not difficult. They were arguing that each teacher has different standards of the dress code and not all of them bother enforcing them or even following the rules themselves. The conversation somehow shifted over to why do we pay so much as globals and where does that money go. Then they called Mr Robert Van Dur Ham over. He suggested that we talk to mr bow about it. Make a case and bring it up to him over email or book an appointment to talk to him at his office. They were serving wine for the main course but it was past 12pm already. I downed the glass of wine and rushed back to palm beach. Leo was still sitting exactly as I has left her, I was relieved and impressed. I swooped her up and went to the pet store that Jason tried to bring me yesterday. Leo was shaking, I was getting anxious. The famous mill mill bar was right next to it pet store up a little staircase. I was really confused when I arrived as the staff was just a little boy? But later on it seemed to be a lady as she spoke knowledgably about the puppy and her products.  But this lady was so short she looked like she never went past puberty in primary school. I asked a bunch of questions about what I should get her and she made a few uncomfortable faces saying, “lets see if she lives first”. Thank you for your honesty but why do you say that? I bought a cage, food bowl, milk powder, puppy food. Jason(les roches) eventually came up to the store but he took so long to come by. When I messaged him earlier before I got there, he said he had just finished taking a shower so he shouldn’t have needed more then 10 minutes. He spoke to the lady and she said the puppy is probably a street dog. Jason threw his hands up and said ‘I knew it! You could buy it in my hometown for just 30 to 40RMB. No one wants it.” Then he sighed and said “oh well, whatever makes you happy.”  Jason’s wife, the driver, came up just as I had finished paying. They helped bring my stuff down. Jason didn’t have classes that afternoon and he skipped his morning class so I’m impressed that he offered to come out to help me during lunch. The driver was very nice to help bring up the things I had bought from the pet store to my room before sending me back to school.  

Vik texted me that I could share the cab with Cesar, some Mexican student from school. He needed to go to the same airport, perfect. I rushed back home after classes, called Andy for a change. Pretty much packed everything I wanted to bring back already, just needed one set of clothes really. I didn’t bother bringing my textbooks except French cause lets be honest, im not gonna study. I quicked setup the cage and put Leo inside. Jason arrived at 3.30pm and I texted Cesar to come up and help bring my suitcases down. I took whatever time I had left to hold Leo a little longer just so she knows I still care about her. Cesar came by, with Natalia who pretty much barged in, whatever. They squealed over Leo for a good 10 minutes of course. I would have loved to talk about Leo a little more but we really had to get going. I grabbed my backpack and Cesar carried both my suitcases down, chill~.

Jason kept asking me about which terminal the my flight was which I understand he’s just trying to help but my freaking ticket seriously didn’t have it written down. Heck, even the flight number was confusing. Eventually he called the airport and checked that it was the terminal one but also that my flight was delayed. Shhiiieettt. Jason said once the flight is delayed , oh man, it gets delayed by the hours and I still have a connecting flight to catch! its especially stressful when the lay over is less than 3 hours, I don’t time for this shit man. Anyways along the way, Cesar was a little panicked too cause he was suppose to meet his friend at 4pm, which made me wonder “why the heck did you stand around my apartment making goo goo eyes at my puppy?” He kept trying to contact his friend which he eventually managed to reach. They charged the meet up place and Cesar wanted to go there straight away, so Jason and I were deciding if we had time to send Cesar off first or not cause they were is different directions but Cesar kept insisting that it shouldn’t be that far from the airport. Jason said it would be an extra cost and we decided to send Cesar off first. Damn that silly boy kept insisting that its just a straight route back but boy that isn’t quite how the roads work around here, those are highways.

Fortunately, things went smoothly after, I got to the airport with enough time to check-in and get to my gate. It was not very busy but the staffs’ attitude really annoyed me. There is a security check-in at the entrance. I find myself standing there in front of the security looking at them like “okay, im standing right here waiting to go in, there isn’t anyone else around. What exactly do you want me to do? HELLOOOO!?!?!” UGH they just dazed off and here I am wondering seriously what if that person is in a rush man. Jeez, it was confusing and slow, the staff are so spaced out and nonchalant, how can I take them seriously? I was pretty irritated, tapping my foot impatiently as I waited in line. The lady at check-in was new, she was just transferred from a different department. She had no idea how to check me in so she asked me to go to another counter. The man at the other counter said I need to go check something inside my suitcase, it was just my old broken phone which I kept to download the rest of my photos but then realized was stupid cause im sure the app would need me to access a vpn in china. I headed over to the gate but when I reached the counter I didn’t realize that I was supposed to return to the check-in counter after checking my suitcase, to get my ticket. Urgh, so freakin annoyed but also so very thankful I know Chinese. God damn can’t imagine how I would survive this semester in Shanghai.

I lost my way a little bit when I was trying to find my gate. I arrived 10 minutes before the gate was scheduled to open but it was still delayed and I hadn’t eaten all day except that bit of bread and wine over lunch. I was craving fried chicken and rushed over to KFC for a quick bite. Yum. I struggled trying to pay attention to the announcements. They were very fuzzy and it felt like the Chinese voice was louder than the English one. I returned to the gate, still delayed. If I knew how long the delay would be, I would have loved to walk around and look at the many shops around but I was afraid that the gate would open at any time. I just sat there moping, listening to my music, and wishing I could sigh harder that I already was to express my frustration.

Finely, we board the plane but the expected arrival time was 11pm and I was suppose to be at the gate of my connecting flight at 10.30pm! Panicked, I asked the flight attendant what was I to do? No way was I gonna make it. I was sat between a grandma with long gel nails and a fancy updo she proudly did herself and a working office lady. During the flight, the lady and I both worked on our laptops then there were snack boxes brought to us. Despite the pathetic appearance, I was curious to try whatever “goods” the box possessed inside.

Afterwards, I started watching a movie while the working lady started reading. *sigh* really boosted the confidence in my own intellect. But whatever, I was entertained by the senseless romance movie I was watching. It had a cute passionate skinny girl who believed in the goodness of frozen food while the male lead was a typical handsome tall Eurasian. Might I just add how handsome the young boy was. God, he had such a pretty boy face. The actor was very good at coming off as arrogant in the beginning too. It probably would have been even better if he could have done it in English for the added intonations in his speech. We landed before the movie could end, I expected that.

Its 11pm and I’m stressing out again. I get off the plane and there is an airport staff waiting outside holding a sign with a light of flight numbers, one of them being my connecting flight. I eagerly show him my ticket for that flight, he says bluntly that there is now way I am going to make it and pastes a big red dot on me. He gives me some instructions about a counter on the second floor, I couldn’t really follow but whatever I’ll figure it out somehow. All the passengers pack themselves on a bus to the terminal and I’m making calls to the airline, they can’t help me because I am missing a code. I let out a sign and mutter under my breathe. A man asks me where I am going, I look over my should and answer accordingly. He had a head of mattered thick dark grey with mixed strands of white. He wore a red T shirt layered with a beige button down and a pair of matching shorts. He looked like an archeologist with a face full of sun spots and a pair of simple glasses. Noticing that he too had a big red dot pasted on his chest, I ask him that same question, he said Singapore. Noiice! From there we start talking in English, man that felt good. We quickly learn about each other as we figure out this shitty situation we’re in. It’s the first time to happen to me but a second time for him. He last time happened in china too, he wasn’t surprised. He explained that in china, especially in shanghai, the air trafficking in terrible. The flights are often delayed. We got our tickets rebooked. My earliest flight was the next afternoon at 2pm while his was at 7am. He decided to go with a flight closer to mine so he could at least get some sleep. He went down to our next destination, where we choose an accommodation of our choice within the two options offered by the airline. I went with the serviced apartments, love those, so much space. We exchange wechat information as we wait for the hotel to pick us up. Eventually, we checked into our rooms after midnight and agree to meet up for breakfast the next morning.

Laurent messaged me! So happy to talk to him again. Its so hard to contact him, miss him dearly. He’s usually busy with his internship in London now but he’s also generally bad at responding to texts. I hate that about him. Anyways I told him about my little trip over the weekend and the whole delayed situation. He said my parents were a little over the top to be spending so much for only two days back. He’s probably right but to them it meant a lot and it was worth the expense. Its there money not mine, especially if it makes them happy. Besides the whole idea of a sudden getaway is very exciting and I get to see my dad!

LOSE WEIGHT FAST DIET | How I Lost 15 Pounds In One Week

Currently, I am like a little bit out of shape overweight and just unhealthy and I have like a really sensitive tummy like everything upsets my stomach and I just feel really bad if your tummy is not happy.

Everything is not happy and most importantly I have no energy not having energy is like directly related to my diet. Most of the time it is so difficult to be a model and a foodie this two Clash so much. It's not even funny in October was the last time I was on a diet. I was going to Europe I was going to Spain for a photoshoot and Italy for a commercial of shooting a commercial after that diet. I felt good. I looked good. I had so much energy and when I came back, I was like girl-girl. You are not gonna go back to your old ways. Like I'm going to maintain my health side note. I have been eating Ramen almost every day. Like I have no idea how I'm not dead serious, so it started off with like one ramen a week and then it was like two ramens a week and I'm like, oh no, it's fine for I know it back to Ramen every day. And here I am.

It's not cute. No, so I don't know about y'all, but for me, like if I don't have a purpose for starting a diet, I will quit as soon as the diet gets difficult. I'm just like what am I doing? So before I start any diet, I have a checklist. So I've already identified my goal set a deadline cleared out all the junk although Robin out of the house. The last thing I need to do is go grocery shopping late l so I could just take like public transportation. From my house. It's like 3 minutes and then goes to the grocery store but since its diet week, I'm gonna take the hard way. I'm going to be having a lot of turmerics and a lot of ginger. The struggle is real because I can't read Japanese. I don't know if this is cilantro or partially let's just hope it seems a lot of trouble. This is like the best part about Japanese grocery stores. They have these like already set meals and they're actually really good and fresh sucks. So here is my healthy food hall for the next two weeks starting with the vegetables. I got some carrots two things of kale. This was literally the most expensive item out of all of these things some cabbage some kimchi. I got some honey some raw honey, but I don't think I'm going to even be using that these bananas were on sale and they're a little bit riper. So I'm actually going to freeze those which is great. And then I Some bananas to eat. I eat a lot of bananas got some grapes. These grapes are on cells is actually a great prize for some grapes. I'm still in the store so lucky got that cheese so I can top with my salads to zucchinis a why did I forget the name of this? So it's dark. I need my coffee. I got an avocado, I freaking love these mushrooms, I still can't pronounce them. I'm just not even trying she talked a shiitake. She too good. I don't freakin know the brown mushrooms that look a little fuzzy so you don't pick up normally but they're safe. They're safe. The fuzz is okay. I got some green so I can make some salads. This is just mixed greens and some lettuce for the frozen vegetables. I got spinach. I usually use this in my soups some broccoli and this like mixed thing that your mama makes in the pies. You know what I'm talking about the chicken pot pies. I got some soy milk, and I got some Sweetened almond milk. I also got some plain yogurt. I got some pumpkin seeds and I got this to make a fruit bowl. I want to make it look really really pretty with the dragon fruit. Minie sweet potatoes and hear the sweet potatoes are like purple and the inside is like a yellow-white color but in America, they were orange and I don't know if that's a gam or sweet potato. Anyway, these are a bomb and they're really little so they can fit in my fish grill. I got some garbanzo beans I think is another name for these. What is the name of my God? I forgot dang. I can't remember. Anyways, these dang beans I freaking love I just roast these over the stove with some cayenne pepper onion powder garlic powder a little bit of salt and I can put those on oh my salads. I got some more oatmeal and then now for my protein I got some ground chicken some tofu and chicken breast and I got some tuna, which is super overpriced. In Japan, but I love tuna. Like that's one thing I can just eat all the time. And then I got the coffee that I need in my system as we speak before I lose my mind. So yeah, this is my semi-healthy food Hall. I'm not going to be buying some more cabbage. I already have brown rice and some other ingredients in the house already, but this is basically it I'm gonna try and make this last for two weeks. I'm not going to finish all those I'm not gonna finish this either. I got quite a bit of stuff, but I already know I'm going to go and get more cabbage and I'm going to probably get a bit more vegetables and then later on in the week. I can start to eat meat and carbs. So I'm going to pick up some like chicken or something like that. But for now, it's just fruits and vegetables for like the next four days. It's like 2:30, and I haven't had anything to eat yet. I usually like to start off my diets with like a small fast. So usually I won't eat breakfast or And it'll have dinner. It just helps set the tone. It just helps get my diet going. So I made it through day one actually day one for me is the easiest day just like you buy all the ingredients you like. I'm gonna eat these so they one's not so bad. And I feel really good. I'm gonna prep some vegetables this morning for today and tomorrow to eat and for breakfast. I'm feeling like a salad. I'm going to make like a huge giant salad with like a bunch of stuff in it. I'm gonna have a salad for breakfast and I'm going to make some kale with the mushroom that you saw I'm also going to steam some pumpkin and I'm going to make some green beans and I'll probably mix in some avocado with that because like just eating vegetables with knows like seasonings or fats or carbs. It's like so Again disgusting. This is really hard for me. But that's what my body needs right now. So that's why I'm going today 4 in the morning. And I want chocolate like so bad deep dark chocolate fudge brownie. That's hot ice cream on top. Basically, the bulk of my diet is through vegetable soups. That is like the main thing that I eat and then I have other things here and there but mostly I'm eating vegetable soup, which I'm sick of I need to go out and get some more carrots. I've already eaten almost everything that I went to the grocery store for so I have to go re-stuck again. it's like the butt crack of dawn so it's really difficult to see me in this room, but it is still a 70 actually. Sorry. It is day 8 in the morning. My diet is done. I'm so proud of myself y'all do I get cookie somebody give me a cookie. I finished this diet and I feel great. All right. I lost so much weight.

A Complete Keto Diet Foods List To Make Grocery Shopping Way Easier

A Complete Keto Diet Foods List To Make Grocery Shopping Way Easier

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "books009a-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "in_content"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "eb6b8d82602b7891da759d9bf5221f00"; amzn_assoc_asins = "162315944X,B00UJIXKL4,B07CZ837VB";

For most people who do the keto diet, they eat 75 percent of their daily calories from fat, 20 percent from protein, and 5 percent from carbs , says Stephanie Searor, MS, RD, LDN, owner of Love Yourself Nutrition and Wellness in Clarksville, Tennessee. You also need to take fiber into consideration, as it plays a huge part in the keto diet, because you subtract fiber from carbohydrates to determine your net carbs.

But let’s be honest: There are a lot of foods on the shelves, and it can be a ton of work just wandering the aisles and produce section reading labels and wondering if you’re shopping within your macros, so to speak. So if youre feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of shopping for keto diet foods, print out or pull up on your phone this comprehensive list of keto must-haves, all approved by registered dietitians. Guesswork, gone. (You’re welcome!)

Carbs

Keto considerations: As you probably already know if you’re ready to hit the grocery store, the keto diet is primarily defined by the fact that it *really* limits your daily carb intake. But you obviously cant eliminate carbs completely even if you’re following a diet ( you still need energy , after all). The key is focusing on carb sources that are also high in other nutrients, like protein and good fats.

Simply put, you aren’t gonna want to go buy a bunch of simple-carb foods (like sugary cereal and white bread) on the keto diet. Instead, the carbs found in lower-carb fruits, vegetables, and nuts are the main source of carbs in this diet, says Penny Scholl, RD, LPN, owner of Remake My Plate in Avon, Massachusetts. Because you’re carb intake is so limited, make it worth it with nutritious options, like the following ones.

Best keto carbs:

Pecans

Brazil nuts

Macadamia nuts

Walnuts

Hazelnuts

Peanuts

Almonds

Pepitas

Almond flour/meal for baking

Coconut flour/meal for baking

Fats

Keto considerations: The other defining factor of the keto diet is that its also a plan thats quite high in fat. At first glance, that idea might sound crazy, as it can be tough to eat, well, a ton of avocado every single day. Tip: Focusing on cooking with good, heart-healthy fats is an easy way to up your fat intake in a way that will leave you feeling satiated rather than deprived.

Best keto fats:

Olive oil

Coconut oil

Sesame oil

Grapeseed oil

Avocado

Nuts

Hemp hearts

Chia seeds

Sour cream

Ground flaxseed

Vegetables

Keto considerations: Its safe to say that vegetables have a place in all diets and lifestyles, whether youre trying to lose weight or not. Veggies are especially key in the keto diet because they tend to be low in sugar and high in fiber to help you stay full. When it comes to which veggies should be go-to on keto, green leafy vegetables have the lowest amount of carbs, says Scholl.

Best keto veggies:

Zucchini

Alfalfa sprouts

Cucumber

Daikon or other radishes

Lettuce

Peppers

Kale

Swiss chard

Collards

Cabbage

Fruits

Keto considerations: Believe it or not, fruits can be a tricky keto food because a lot of them actually are high in carbs and sugar, even though its natural sugar versus added sugar. Fruits are much higher in carbs than vegetables, so its key to focus on lower-carb options like berries when following the keto diet, says Scholl.

Best keto fruits:

Blackberries

Blueberries

Strawberries

Raspberries

Cranberries

Pumpkin

Cucumbers

Eggplant

Avocado

Olives

Proteins/meats

Keto considerations: Lean proteins like shrimp, salmon, chicken breast, pork loin, and flank steak are all great source of protein without adding a lot of saturated fat, says Searor.

Filling up on meals that incorporate lots of vegetables and some lean protein, like a stir fry, and adding an unsaturated fat (like olive oil or canola oil) is a great way to kick off your keto diet, Searor says. “The vegetables and protein will help you to feel full, while the healthy fats will start to be used by your body for energy (instead of glucose).

Best keto protein sources:

Tuna pouch in olive oil

Canned salmon

Sardines

Chicken

Turkey

Nitrate-free ham or bacon

Tofu

Eggs

Cheese

Any other type of fish

Condiments

Keto considerations: As with most other keto diet foods, the thing you want to avoid with condiments is too much added sugar. Check dressings as many tend to include sugar, so they will have a higher carb count, says Scholl. Try to focus on oil and vinegar dressings for salad.

Another commonly asked keto question is whether or not peanut butter is keto compliant. Just like any low-carb option, you need to look at the label of peanut butter to see if it can be fit into your carbohydrate restriction, says Julie Stefanski, MEd, RDN, owner of Stefanski Nutrition Services in York, Pennsylvania, and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Peanuts are naturally higher in carbohydrates than other nuts since theyre technically a legume. If additional sweeteners are added, its likely a no-go.

Best keto condiments:

Guacamole

Peanut butter (with no added sugar)

Dijon mustard

Horseradish

Hot sauce

Relish

Red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Sauerkraut

Pesto

Tahini

Spices/herbs

Keto considerations : Spices and herbs are a pretty easy keto food because while many do have carbs in them, youre likely using such a small amount to avoid over-seasoning your food, so the carb count is likely to be negligible.

Best keto flavor enhancers:

Chili powder

Salt

Pepper

Basil

Oregano

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Ginger

Rosemary

Mint

Fast food options

Keto considerations: Fast items for work lunches or easy dinners may be the most challenging part of grocery shopping for keto dieters. But its not impossible to come up with satisfying meals and snacks that wont undo your progress.

Knowing how to read the nutrition label can be a huge benefit when trying to determine if something is keto, says Scholl. Additionally, when it comes to fast food options, items such as ready-to-eat salad mixes can be a good option if you make sure to leave out added items like croutons, dried fruits, etc.

Best keto fast food options:

Prepared salad mixes

Rotisserie chicken (not the breaded type) or pre-cooked/sliced grilled chicken

Cheese sticks

Tuna pouch in olive oil

Canned salmon

Sardines

Hard-boiled or scrambled eggs

Frozen zucchini noodles

Frozen cauliflower rice

Pre-cooked frozen burgers
