Hello Lovelies!! Hope that you are all having an amazing weekend :)
For day 4 on my keto diet, I was actually not allowed to eat breakfast, or lunch . I had a dental procedure scheduled with sedation, so i could not have food or water 6 hours before the appointment. We woke up and went to the dentist, and I they began sedation at 8:45. They began working on me around 10 am , and the entire procedure took about 4 hours. It was 2:30 when we got home, and i was still feeling heavily sedated.
I spent my afternoon taking lots of naps and relaxing on the couch. The sedation left me feeling a little sick, and not very hungry.
WHAT I ATE: DAY FOUR
This evening I ate four cheese sticks, as well a medium sized portion of summer sausage, as a tasty snack. I was only able to drink 64 ounces of water this day, mostly because I was not allowed to drink water before or during the surgery, and I was just sleeping a lot after. So I was a little dehydrated.
When i woke up around 10 pm, I decided to stay up for a while, since I had already slept so much that day. I was craving something creamy and sweet, so I found a recipe for Keto Capuccino Cheesecake Mousse! My fiance and I made a list of things we needed, and made a quick trip to the grocery store to get a few items :) You can see the full recipe as well as many others at: http://thenourishedcaveman.com/27-indulgent-keto-desserts/ :)
The ingredients shown/ listed below are what you will need for the full recipe :) I topped ours with ground 100% cocoa , as well as some coconut flakes!
These were actually super simple to make, and absolutely delicious!! I made mine into some small 4oz mason jars, which I could easily wrap with saran wrap and a rubber band, so they can be a ready made snack throughout the week!I appreciated the creamy soft texture on these especially since i just had my dental work done!
SUMMARY:
For this day it is clear that I did not reach optimal nutrition. However, considering circumstances, I totally anticipated this. All levels are low, having met only an astonishingly low 4% of daily nutrition targets. The Protein/ Fat/ Carbohydrate ratio is still correct however, and there is great evidence that supports intermittent fasting with a keto diet, so I don't see this to be a problem. With how sore and drugged I was, I couldn't have eaten much more on this day anyway!
For this day, I am not going to detail nutrition specifics on vitamins minerals, proteins, carbs, lipids, or any others, because the numbers are all so low that they are nearly irrelevant. This is not a standard day in my diet, just due to circumstances :)
CONCLUSION:
While this may have been a very low calorie, low nutrient day, it was not a bad day for me. I was very sedated, not hungry, especially sleepy, and in some pain. I spent most of the day resting , and enjoyed making the mousse when I did wake up. My fiance really enjoyed the treat as well :) While I may have eaten very little, everything I did eat this day was totally keto.

I look forward to experimenting with more keto recipes, and building my experience with the keto diet!!
