So weird that ppl either think sparkling water/seltzer is either weird or a fad bc my grandma has been giving us seltzer since i was like 5 bc she wanted us to not drink soda. And it worked i have been drinking the shit forever. In fact i used to drink tonic water straight lol. I mean when we started drinking it there were 2 flavors as opposed to the dozens now so it probably is more if a fad thing but it definitely didn’t come outta nowhere.

Lunch

[maccas-strawbi-sundae]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share what I cooked this morning! I've been eating really late/early since my partner began the nightshift as it's caused my insomnia to rear its head again. So, this was my dinner/breakfast as I didn't eat the night before as I wait for my partner to get home to eat (I start cooking normally half an hour or so before he gets home).

♥ It is honey rosemary kangaroo! 🦘🌿

♥ Kangaroo is eaten in Australia due to Kangaroos actually being considered pests and, it is sold in most supermarkets and at butchers too. It is not so much the norm however, a lot of people are unwilling to eat it, I used to be one of those people until I met my partner and he cooked it for me. I now actually eat it more than him! It is lean and both high in protein and iron.

♥ It is generally recommended to cook kangaroo medium rare as it can become very dry if overcooked due to its low fat content.

♥ My partners recommendation for cooking kangaroo is to cook it like lamb or, to cook it with strong flavours as it can be gamey in taste. I tend to like using more Asian flavours unless I am slow cooking it. I decided to change it this time and to share it with you guys! :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🌿🦘 Recipe 🦘🌿

♥ I marinated it for most of yesterday just some dry rosemary (fresh would have probably been nicer), a squeeze of honey maybe 1tsp, 1 garlic clove chopped up roughly (it could be grated or crushed if preferred) and a bit of water. I placed it in a freezer bag, lightly massaged it, tied it off and then placed it on a bowl in the fridge.

♥ When I got it out I put the pan on high (I use a non-stick pan as I don't like to add oil or anything) and then slowly laid the kangaroo in the pan. They were two large steaks (they're more like hunks/chunks given how they are packaged, nothing like beef, never the same shape or size). I gave it five minutes on each side. I then let it rest shortly then attempted to slice it but, since I'm not allowed near knives alone currently (due to the APU stay) I had to try and shred it with a fork and butter knife which was not difficult due to it being tender! To finish I just tossed it with a light drizzle of kecap manis, not even a teaspoons worth.

♥ For my salad I am quite basic and I've always loved carrot and cucumber since I was young. I just ran a larger peeler down each and placed it. Before I ate it I poured a little bit of balsamic vinegar over the top as I love the way it tastes. I even got to place some in a bowl for lunch!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------I really liked this! There was a faint honey flavour alongside the rosemary and the kecap manis at the end lightly coated the meat giving it a nice rounded flavour overall. It is a very basic meal, protein and salad, sometimes due to how I feel about food I prefer something a bit on the simpler side.

I definitely feel that my three section plate is doing me some good when it comes to seeing portions more clearly, the only reason I didn't use it was because I wanted more cucumber!

CUCUMBER JUICE FOR WEIGHT LOSS

In the quest for a healthier lifestyle and weight loss, cucumber juice has emerged as a refreshing and beneficial ally. This simple beverage, made from one of the most hydrating vegetables, is not only packed with nutrients but also aids in weight loss in several ways. Let's delve into why cucumber juice should be your go-to drink if you're looking to shed some pounds.

The Nutritional Profile of Cucumber

Cucumbers are composed of about 95% water, making them incredibly hydrating. A hydration-rich diet is crucial for maintaining metabolism and aiding in weight loss. Besides water, cucumbers are also rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, and manganese, all while being extremely low in calories. A typical cucumber contains just 16 calories per 100 grams, making cucumber juice an excellent addition to a weight loss diet.

Benefits of Cucumber Juice for Weight Loss

Low in Calories

One of the most straightforward reasons cucumber juice can help with weight loss is its low-calorie content. Substituting high-calorie beverages like sodas and fruit juices with cucumber juice can significantly reduce your daily caloric intake, helping you lose weight over time.

Hydration

The high water content in cucumber juice helps in keeping you hydrated. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining your metabolism, which can help in burning calories more efficiently. Furthermore, drinking water or a watery beverage like cucumber juice before meals can make you feel fuller, reducing your calorie intake.

Detoxification

Cucumber juice is known for its detoxifying properties. It helps in flushing out toxins from the body, which can improve your metabolic rate and aid in fat loss. The presence of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds also supports overall health, which is crucial when you're trying to lose weight.

Rich in Fiber

While juicing may reduce the fibre content, leaving a little pulp in your juice can provide you with fibre that is essential for weight loss. Fiber aids in digestion and helps in maintaining a healthy gut flora, which is crucial for a healthy metabolism and weight management.

Supports Exercise Recovery

The vitamins and minerals found in cucumber juice, especially potassium, support muscle recovery after exercise. Since exercise is an integral part of any weight loss plan, consuming cucumber juice can help reduce muscle soreness and prepare your body for the next workout.

How to Incorporate Cucumber Juice into Your Diet

Morning Kickstart

Begin your day with a glass of cucumber juice on an empty stomach. This not only provides hydration but also kickstarts your metabolism for the day.

Pre-Meal Drink

Drinking a glass of cucumber juice 30 minutes before meals can help suppress appetite and reduce the likelihood of overeating.

Post-Workout Refreshment

Replace sugary sports drinks with cucumber juice to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes after a workout.

Healthy Cocktail Mixer

For a healthier cocktail, use cucumber juice as a mixer. It will add a refreshing taste without the extra calories.

Conclusion

Cucumber juice offers a refreshing and nutritious way to support your weight loss goals. Its high water content, combined with a low-calorie and high-nutrient profile, makes it an excellent addition to any diet. Remember, though, that weight loss is a multifaceted process that involves a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Incorporating cucumber juice as part of a healthy lifestyle can help you achieve your weight loss goals more effectively.

Stuff I ate today. And I went to a bluegrass concert.

Cleaned the morning & afternoon. Just kept picking a task to complete & see how far I could get.

The to go cup is an apple cider tea, oolong, sf spiced apple cider flavoring & cayenne.

Lots of leftovers from Ruby Tuesday. There was a little steak under those potatoes.

There was also a konjac snack in the car driving to the concert.

The quest bar.... I don't think I have had this before.... next time I might try it warmed up.

The cucumber is covered in sf maple syrup & pumpkin pie from flavoe gods for a late night sweet snack. I believe I got this from YouTuber Julia Rene, she is a super hot bodybuilding goddess. Super hot.
