My Dietary Lifestyle

Obligatory Disclaimer - Please do not construe anything you see at http://lowcarbmargi.vox.com as any kind of medical or nutritional advice.  Everyone should always seek their doctor's approval before beginning any diet or exercise program. 

I don't follow any particular sort of low-carb program, but my eating habits are inspired by the ketogenic diet, Atkin's fat fast, and a host of other high-fat, low-carb advocates.  Please be aware that the aforementioned diets are known to cause rapid weight loss, and can be dangerous to anyone who does not have serious metabolic resistance.

My daily dietary modification goals are as follows:

• 75-80% fat
• 20-15% protein
• 5% carbohydrates

My daily supplements include:

• 1 multivitamin (I alternate between low iron and regular)
• 1 calcium (plain, no vitamin D or minerals)
• 1 magnesium
• 1 biotin for hair and nails

My potassium sources includes:

• Lettuce, celery, nuts, eggs, and nut butters.
• No Salt, no-sodium Herb-Ox boullionne powder packets for seasoning in cooking.
• I created a super yummy electrolyte broth made out of 1 tsp sodium boillionne, 1 packet no sodium boullionne, and 12 oz hot water.  The boullionne can be any flavor, so long as the flavors are kept together.
• On rare occasion, potassium supplements.  Please be aware that both too little or too much potassium can be deadly

My frequent shopping list includes:

• Mayonnaise
• Tuna
• Cage Free hen eggs
• Heavy whipping cream
• Nuts
• Cream cheese
• Butter
• Full fat sour cream
• Wholly Guaca-Salsa
• Shredded sharp cheddar cheese 
• 73% fat ground beef

My allowed foods when eating out:

• Fiesta taco salad from Taco Bell, minus beans, shell uneaten
• Surloin steak and salad
• Fajita chicken salad from Petro travel plaza
