My test was ground beef and butter for a few days in a row. I always spiced up the ground beef with a small amount of onion or garlic or both. (that’s a few carbs too) I cooked the ground beef first. Then I would serve myself about a cup of ground beef in a bowl and top it with about 3 tablespoons of butter. I love the salted KerryGold butter myself but any real butter will do. Man, ground beef, and butter together are delicious! Seriously, it’s good! Crazy good. I ate just enough to fill me up. It’s filling and it lasts a long time before I am hungry again. My ground beef meal was swimming in butter. Here’s what it looked like:
Keep in mind, I am fat adapted and I’ve been doing the Keto Diet 7 months now.
The first day I was down a whole pound in one day! I was trending at a 1/2 a pound weight loss a week! I was ecstatic to lose a whole pound overnight! WOW!
Update: A reader asked if having a cup of ground beef a day would put me over my protein amount when tracking my macros. The answer was no. I decided to capture my macro numbers in a screenshot and share them here with you. Yesterday, I had my 2 cups coffee (with butter and cream) in the morning, ground beef with butter for lunch and dinner. Then I ate about 4 crunchy pork rinds. I drank plenty of water and took my supplements. I am down another 1.5 pounds today! This is what my tracking looks like.
