Now add in the cream. Let the sauce come up to a boil and turn down the heat to about medium low. Let the sauce bubble until it thickens. The higher the fat content in the cream, the thicker it will get.

Nutritional information

 

 

 

All in total 7 grams of net carbs and pretty good macronutrient ratios. I’ve been eating only when I’m really physiologically hungry for the past 5 days and it’s working so well: I feel better and my need to snack has gone away totally. I’ve realised I’m usually not that hungry in the morning and don’t need breakfast. One big meal in the middle of day and sometimes a smaller meal in the evening is just fine. Also I’ve been craving coconut oil so I have eaten some every single day. It tastes just so good… And it’s good for me 🙂

I’ll be travelling for almost 3 weeks starting on Sunday (let’s home things don’t get bad in Bangkok, there’s going to be a big protest on Monday) so the next Food Friday will be published on the 31st of January.
