My meal today

[S11m]

I am on a six-day autophagy fast, so I ate:

300ml of double cream

142gm of full-fat yoghurt

It is difficult to find cost-effective low-protein, keto, high calories foods, but I had an avocado the other day (I find it difficult to find good, ripe avocados)

Any ideas?

The ones with “Ready to eat” ones are a possibility. They are not ready to eat in my experience, but don’t take as long as the others to ripen up. Maybe putting them on a window sill in view of the sun might help.

I've added "Ripe and Ready Avocados" to my list of the great lies along with "your check is in the mail"

I have the same problem with mangoes! The supermarket I buy them from advertise them as 'ripe and ready' but I have to ripen them on my window sill for several days.

I would have thought that it would be a misrepresentation to label something as ripe when it isn’t. 🙂

My local supermarket sell "ripe" avocados... and if I can find a ripe one it is OK.It seems that if they are not ripe when I buy them, they never get ripe.

Or go bad whilst getting ripened.

[springcross in reply to S11m]

I get that too S11m.

I have been making my own mayonnaise. It's a great way of upping the fat content of a dish. A simple bowl of salad leaves will be low carb and protein, and with a generous serving of mayo, high fat.

Mayonnaise and avocado is another way to go. Or aioli and steamed artichoke.
