Comfort food

Brown Cow full-fat plain yogurt, fresh bananas and raspberries topped with some honey.

Sometimes, I just want something sweet, which I can only have very sparingly when I'm doing low-carb.  I checked my food log, figured out how many carbs I had left and figured out how much of this I could eat.  Sometimes, I'll even plan on eating something extra carby and eat a lot less carbs earlier in the day so I can have a treat at the end of the night.  Most people probably aren't going to do this, but I'm kind of having fun logging all my food.  If you're trying to lose weight, it might help a lot in the beginning to really stick with logging your food and amounts you're eating.

A "Junk Food" Breakfast

All those years of being taught what's healthy for you?  Throw that out the window.  I indulged in what I now consider an "unhealthy" breakfast comprised almost entirely of carbs.

Toast with homemade coconut butter (which is delicious) and fruit.  Conventional wisdom says this is healthy and good for you.  Paleo and other low-carb philosophies say, this is crap.

But every now and then, this is just what I feel like eating.  And that's okay.  This bread also wasn't gluten-free, which is bad too.  But for whatever reason, this company's bread doesn't make me react funny (most affordable at Costco).

Of course, that all being said, this is still healthier than eating a packet of Pop-Tarts, which I did do back in the day.  It's amazing how my views have changed since learning about paleo and low-carb.  Sugar (in most forms) is the enemy, not fat.
