AUTHOR’S NOTE — me: i’m not gonna write for cod. i’m not gonna write for- [GUNSHOT]. this has been in my brain for WEEKS but now it’s finally written out <3 i live off of any type of modern-worker price concepts lmao they’re keeping me going rn.

“You know what sets me apart from others?”

John had you wrapped around his finger. Like a ring given in matrimony—the one you'd shiver over every time you had to take it off for some necessary chore where it could be damaged or lost. He knew his importance to you was real, it was what kept you coming back. But he had never taken into consideration that his services weren't enough for you.

Not with the way he had you clenching around his length, like now. “Why I am so good at my goddamn job?”

His ego had grown the more you had spoken. Broken sentences admitting to him that you had gone to see another man, asked for the pleasures of another's touch that wasn't him—you were his only regular.

John already knew, he was already hearing the gossip amidst the others. He had already found the strangely familiar phone number hidden deep inside of your drawer. In his world, of dark nights and long-time pleasure—he knew the signs of when a client was putting a distance between them and him.

You felt him twitch up into your heat as your breathing stuttered. Ears ringing loudly but only listening to the sounds of John spilling words through his gritted teeth. You knew you had crossed the line.

“What makes me the fucking best?” His words were harsh like a growl, yet spoke softly into only your ear as he pressed you into the mattress below him and felt your hips jerk back into his hot loins.

He had been fucking you for two hours. And this was once something you begged for. Once, his intimacy—now, obsession.

You felt yourself shivering from the cold air, the only major heat being the rough man behind you. His body was sweaty, hair sticking to himself along every part of his body. His happy trail soaked with drops of sweat running down his abs, stomach sucking in every time you clenched around him. You were dizzy from all that he had done to you.

And yet, he got another rise. Had released his load into you twice now, stretching you even further on his cock. That twitch of your body, mouth agape and claiming his name on your tongue. “John!”

Each time he pulled his length from you, the stickiness of his cum was enough to make you jerk and nearly orgasm until you felt the bruises he left on your hips throb in pain from his calloused fingertips pressing into them again.

You felt the cold air of his dick leaving you, could only whine as his hand pulled at your head until his lips were on your ear. And just as you felt the rush of his hot cum hitting the skin of your ass, he spoke again.

“Because I focus on my own pleasure, not yours. And that makes you my toy.”

Your whine was enough to have him turning you over to look at him, his touch becoming gentle as he heard the hisses and whispered words from your lips. “I'm sorry. I'm sorry.”

“Sorry.” He was still John. “Sorry is a tough word for you to use, isn't it?” His accent had grown thicker by each syllable. He was playing with your emotions. “Did you apologize to the man you called out that late night?”

There it was. The jealousy he had pent up, rocked his hips into yours until he almost forgot, only to see your big eyes staring up at him with tears falling down your cheeks to remind him.

“The one whose number you dialed instead of mine? Met in the latest hour of the night? Asked to pleasure you in some new way to get your fucking rocks off?!”

His beard was still covered in the wetness of your arousal, mixing with his spit and displaying itself on your skin each time his words turned angrier. Everything he had done to you tonight, it was all to convince you.

His mind was lost in his own thoughts as he spoke aloud. “Could he even make you cum? Know how to use you? Did he even get a touch before you realized he was someone else and not me?”

His hand moved from your heat, feeling you throb against the little friction he gave you until it found the pulse of your heartbeat at your neck. His thumb pressed into the spot, begging to feel how fast your heart would beat when he finally told you what he wanted to say all night.

“I'm the only person in the world that can make you cum like this.” His hard length was in his free hand, pressing into your heat once more until you were all-consuming. You saw the flinch in his face as he felt your walls feather with overuse, but he still found himself filling you up.

You felt his hips stutter once he was balls deep. The way his cock twitched from being sensitive like he hadn't used every hard-on he had gotten that night to prove his point. Now was his final show.

The ring of your arousal around him only caused a louder squelch and he pulled from you and thrusted himself back in. His speech only turned guttural when he felt how tired you were, how well he had taught you this lesson.

And as your body took him in and then kept going, your rise finally crashed down on you.

“You’re the o-only person who I have seen this many times in my field of work.”

You squeezed him, milked him of one more gushing orgasm, and then fell right down into your own. “Your body only knows me now. This—” He winced feeling your entire body turn into mush as your orgasm finally swept over you. “This is only for us.”

His words quieted as his head fell into your shoulder, mouth kissing at your neck. You could only cry, only whine his name softly. He finally claimed what he wanted to since the first day your shaky little fingers dialed his number.

“I'm the only one who can give you what others cannot.” He spoke so gently, pressing his entire weight onto your form below him and into the mattress. “My love.”

part 3 of "Simon has a bad time in the omegaverse" thing

CW: kidnapping, torture, talks of rape/non-con, bitching, turning an alpha into an omega, non-con chastity bondage, non-con injections and drugging, the makers of cod made Ghost for the express purpose of suffering and having bad things happen to him, established relationship, alpha x alpha relationship, alpha x omega relationship, happy ending yay! :), sprinkles of smut, inspired by a fic i read on ao3 which i lowkey regret reading, this is the darkest part so the non-con warning is for this part be careful and don't read if it makes you uncomfortable or scares you

He was in heat. it was the second day or so of this unbearable craving deep inside his loins yet because he was alone and in a chastity cage he couldn't even grind against anything to give himself some release despite his dick leaking like a faulty faucet. His captors entered the cell, carrying a black bag with them and chuckling menacingly. Simon growled at them, hissed and spit and struggled in defiance but was quickly pinned down and injected with some kind of chemical that wouldn't let him move but would allow him to feel everything. The enemies started reaching into the bag and what they pulled out made Simons stomach sink. Toys of various sizes and colors were pulled out one by one, knotted ones, vibrating ones, any and every sort of "heat assistance" one could think of. As one of them approached Simon tried to struggle away with everything he still had in him but it was all in vain as the enemy soldier knelt down and maneuvered his legs to be spread as wide as they could. Simon could feel the toy rubbing against him and grunted (he wouldn't give them the satisfaction of screaming he wouldn't) as the toy was pushed inside him. That was how the enemy soldiers "helped" him out with his heat. They would do this for hours using toy after toy, milking Simon dry until his thighs were covered in slick and cum and his body shook from the overstimulation. The only good thing (although "good" was so subjective you couldn't find a single coherent answer) was that they never stuck their own dicks into him. "Keeping him pure" is what they'd said and Simon had a guess that if he wasn't saved soon he would be trafficked and sold to the highest bidder which arguably was much worse than anything else they could think of. His biggest concern was still you, always you. The voice in his head that was telling him you wouldn't want him anymore was louder than ever. He wanted to cry but he couldn't, not here. He didn't want you to leave him, he didn't want you to look at him differently. The thought of you looking at him with disgust or distain made his stomach twist. but despite that voice, despite the endless toys going in and out of him he couldn't give up hope. Thus the second half of his captivity went like that. Chemically induced heats and endless thrusting of a toy inside of him as he came for the nth time that day. The time has blurred for him, he can no longer tell what day it is or if it's even day anymore.

Eventually something even worse happened. If things could get worse for Simon "Ghost" Riley they always would. As his captivity went on and the endless barrage of toys kept filling him day in and day out his body started responding to the endless stimulation. Moans would rip themselves out of his mouth and his hips would roll against the toys his captors kept sticking in him. Yet as addled with chemicals and hormones and pheromones as his brain was he still only ever thought of you which arguably made things worse since the thought of the person who he considered his mate made his body all the more aroused and needy. He hated it but he couldn't stop thinking of you. You were one of the very few things still keeping his mind afloat. He tried to stay strong but his hopes of being rescued were waning. Just as he was close to snapping he heard the very distinct and very familiar sound of gunfire and shouting. He weakly rolled himself over to face the door but was too weakened to make any sound. His hope had been reignited. Perhaps the universe hated Simon "Ghost" Riley a little less.....

You have been loosing your mind ever since Simon was pronounced MIA. You were constantly pissed, your alpha scent sharp and threatening. It was getting so bad even your team were getting wary around you. You and Price had way more than one argument about not doing enough to find Simon. Despite your outward anger at everything deep inside you were scared. Scared for Simon and what was being done to him, scared of never seeing him again. He was yours, your Simon and you were damned if you'd let some two bit terrorists take him away from you. When Price told you that they had Simons location you almost tore through the door trying to get out, almost forgetting your gear but Price managed to stop you from doing anything stupid. During the entirety of the helicopter ride to the location you kept clutching your gun in a death grip in preparation to rip through any and every scumbag that had a hand in taking your mate away from you. And boy did you. You fought those bastards tooth and claw, tearing them to shit both with your weapon and your bare hands. Blood stained your uniform and you could taste the enemies blood in your mouth. You tried your best to sniff out Simons scent but couldn't quite find it until your nose caught a faint trace of bourbon and you ran faster than you thought could ever be possible towards the so familiar smell. You busted through the door of the holding cell to see your mate, your Simon lying there chained, beaten and starved with the faint smell of sex coming off him. That made your inner alpha feral with rage, the possessiveness overriding rational thoughts as you ripped through the people who were in the cell with him, tormenting him with the toys.

Simon was so happy to see you. Finally he could leave this place. The sight of you ripping through the people responsible made his addled brain reel with the rush of need and heat. The scent of angry alpha was so masculine and overpowering that it was hard for him to keep from whining out. Once you were done rampaging your feral alpha brain focused back on Simon and you took a deep breath yet something was wrong. His scent was different and the scent of slick was very thick in the air. You however didn't have time to wonder about that because your first priority was your partner. You found the keys to the shackles holding Simon tied down in one of the corpses pockets and quickly unlocked them, holding Simon close and reassuring that everything was okay. He was still dizzy and in the throes of a chemically induced heat and couldn't resist shoving his face into your neck, taking in as much of your scent as he could. You thought it strange that he was being so affectionate but decided to put your concerns aside to focus on getting him out of there. You contacted the team trough your radio and told them that you found Simon and needed emergency medical evac. You moved quickly, carrying Simon back to the helicopter to finally bring him back home. He clung to you all throughout and refused to let go even as medical staff tried to get him on a gurney. You shushed him, letting out a soothing scent and many soft purrs hoping that he would calm down just a little bit. In the end he had to be sedated so the medics could get him back to base and give him proper treatment.

When you got the news of what has been done to him to say that you were shocked would've been an understatement. The bastards who had him bitched him out and turned your beloved alpha into an omega. Now you weren't mad that he was an omega, you would love him in any form he took but you were livid that someone would do that to another person. Of course the talk of reversing what has been done was brought up but due to the type and amount of chemicals they couldn't do anything that wouldn't put Simons life at risk yet so he would be subjected to living with the forced transition. You were pissed but had put your anger aside for the good of your partner who was recovering from what happened but of course, the shitshow never ends.

A nurse approached you and told you that Simon was still in heat and had been moved to a heat room to make things more comfortable. She (and almost everyone else) knew of your and Simons relationship and advised you to be by his side as his partner and alpha. As reluctant as you were you knew it would be easier to bear the heat with an alpha by his side so despite being unsure you made your way towards the heat room hoping that Simon wouldn't reject you and let you help him bear with the changes in his body.

Will be continued in pt.4 which will be soft and fluffy with maybe some suggestiveness

[zoeykallus]

Hi! First of all, I really love your writing. I always enjoy reading your blog 💓 so I was wondering if you could do a headcanon of the batch reacting to a SO with a small breast, and maybe she's a bit insecure about it? Thank you if you'll do that. Sending hugs!!

Thank you so much! Reacting... in my personal experience men usually only know what we are insecure about if we specifically tell them about it. So I hope it's okay if I pick that approach.

The Bad Batch x Fem!Reader HC's - Small Breasts

Warnings: Possibly Suggestive In Parts 18+ (just to be safe)

Hunter

Making him aware of your insecurity leaves him puzzled. Hunter is looking at you and he doesn't really get it right away. He's confused and frank about it.

"Okay. But what exactly is it that makes you insecure about that? No wait don't show me right now... unless you want me to get hard right here and now"

In his eyes you are pretty the way you are, nothing on your body seems like a flaw to him. If Hunter is at your side, he is attracted to you the way you are. He is not that fixed on physical appearence anyway. Scent, voice and the way you move and talk are much more prominent for him than anything else.

Echo

Cute Echo knows about insecurities. He's fighting with them since the citadel and he's actually doing pretty good. In your case he thinks it's unnecessary.

Echo thinks you are beautiful, he adores you and he's showing it every day. He'll touch and caress every part of your body you feel insecure about with special love and care, just to show you how much.

"You are perfect the way you are, Cyare"

Wrecker

"Love, everything about you is small and I love it!"

He means compared to him you are so delicate and small. His love is unconditional, real and deep. Wrecker loves everything about you and he would never want to change a thing about your body.

"Mesh'la only thinking about them get's my blood pumping. If you ask me there is absolutely nothing wrong about your boobies"

Tech

"My boobs are so small..."

Tech looks up from his holo pad, blinking. Seing you fiddling with your breasts in your bra. His blood slowly but surely starts rushing to his loins. But outwardly so far he keeps his cool.

"And?

"I wish they were bigger"

"I don't see any need for that", he says matter-of-factly.

"It would look nicer, wouldn't it?"

He's not sounding matter-of-factly anymore as he says, "You could take of my cod piece to find the answer to that question"

Crosshair

He wordlessly starts to undress you as a result. His long slender fingers cupping your breasts softly.

"They do feel pretty perfect to me", he says suggestivly with a smirk.

His love language consists mostly of teasing, physical affection and protective services. Don't be surprised if he drags you to the next bed and shows your boobies some love in every way he knows.

Omg I didn’t know any of my moots liked cod either 😭👏🏻🥰 I saw your post- mm… I was thinking of being in a labyrinth and at first I was like 😏🤔 imagine Minotaur!Price… but then I thought Gaz, and finally wound up thinking it’d suit Soap. Like… not that they all couldn’t be, but the way Minotaurs are usually depicted so muscular, and the way they’re so hairy… like 🥵😫 definitely Price or Soap. They might have a loin cloth, but it doesn’t cover much, and as soon as they find you trying to grab the treasure from the center of the maze, they block the exit. But you seem so sweet? And you’re not scared of him (them?) Of course they can’t just let you go… and there’s something about the apologetic look in your eye that makes them think twice about killing you… so… would it be wrong to just 👀😅🥺 leave you with a punishment to teach you a lesson before you go? You seem to be so fascinated by them, and your gentle and soft touch does nothing to change his(their) mind. Whether you offer yourself to them in bargaining to leave, or they just decide to teach you a lesson (consensual ofc)… maybe their breeding kink(s) kick in and they eventually just decide to keep you for themselves. Have their own secret treasure kept in the maze, not just the ones they’ve been hired to protect 🔥

Anyway, you asked for some hot monster 141 so I thought I’d drop this by 🙈

not me forgetting about this ask until you dm’d me 🙈🙈🙈

but yes yes yes minotaur soap and minotaur price who are so used to humans coming in and being scared, maybe trying to fight them. but you’re just looking up at them with rapt fascination and pretty doe eyes

Local Produce 

The fields of bright yellow contain the unfortunately named crop ‘rape’. It has a much better name in America, where it’s known as Canola. Botanically it’s related to cruciferous vegetables eg broccoli, brussels sprouts etc. and the seed gives a glorious oil for cooking or salad dressings. With a quite delicate flavour, rapeseed oil is naturally low in saturated fat (apparently half or less than that in olive oils) and it’s high in unsaturated fat, so good for health. It’s one of the oldest known vegetable oils and has a much higher smoking point than olive oil. I usually use this oil for making mayonnaise which goes particularly well with the local asparagus when it becomes available - Crow can hardly wait, he loves English asparagus

Rape plants also have a tendency to migrate and pop up where they weren’t originally intended

While the crop’s maturing there’s another wild delicacy out there to be foraged and we’re fortunate to know a spot where there’s plenty to spare without taking too much from each plant

The wild garlic is just about coming into flower

I’m in the process of washing and drying our haul and turning it into pesto, flavoured butter and sea salt to use up or freeze for later in the year. Some for us and some for family and friends

The butter will be sliced into rounds and frozen for use as and when; the salt will  season baked potatoes, or fish, poultry and grilled meats; the pesto has a range of uses - with pasta of course, on pizza, as a topping for roast cod loin, in quiche. It’s a lovely, savoury accompaniment to so many dishes

Today has felt like the first true spring day and I was not ready for the huge surge of dopamine from the sunshine! Nevertheless, it powered me through and for that I am grateful.

Unfortunately, the cold I caught from my mother lingers but I was all too happy to begin my morning with half a teaspoon of honey to appease my claggy throat. I then welcomed in the morning with a creamy cup of tea with soya milk and researched coding courses until my empty teacup obliged me to get on with my half hour power flow with ‘Yoga with Allie Van Fossen’ on YouTube - a recent and golden find. After that, I showered with my ‘toasted marshmallow’ shower gel and put on a burgundy dress without fear of the cold. I made a breakfast I crave every time I see a ‘that girl’ post online - scrambled eggs on avocado toast - and felt in total bliss while I munched. I then completed half of my number theory exercises while digesting.

Mum and I had fun while grocery shopping this morning and we rounded off the trip with a coconut latte - the caffeine buzz strengthened while I was putting the shopping away until it was undeniably charged and ready for a jog. I haven’t been jogging while it has been cold but this is feeling so good. I need to remember that If We Ever Meet Again by Katy Perry and Timberland is a great song to run to.

Coming home, I did some strength work organised by a beginners workout plan I found on pinterest and had to stop for a second because I was getting so lost in the moment and probably not showing good form. Thankfully, I had a conversation with my brother and afterwards calmed down tremendously... and we did a few squats together. Timmon, you’re the best.

By the time I’d finished, my butternut squash was ready so I made a salad of that and accompanied it with a blueberry cheesecake smoothie using some powder from The Protein Works. It was quite tangy and grainy - if anyone has any suggestions to improve this, I’d be forever grateful.

Following this, I finished number theory and wrote up one of the homework questions but this took a while and afterwards I felt rather drained. I had just enough time to do a 15 minute yoga sequence from Yoga With Kassandra (which was supposed to be for bedtime but was the perfect remedy for my hunched shoulders and reeling mind) before my mum returned from her long afternoon. I was proud of my mum when she said that she still wanted to go for a walk with our dogs to enjoy the beautiful evening. 

After that, I cooked. I should have definitely taken a picture before I started munching but whoops... I should have definitely cooked the cod loin with more seasoning and for slightly less time but the baby corn and potatoes really pleased me. I don’t know why I rustled a cup of strawberries, mango, and vanilla ice cream up afterwards... If there was one thing which would improve today, it would be to eliminate the dessert and have a hug from my boyfriend but here I am without boyfriend and containing fruit... I did do some logic puzzles and write this post, though, and I am about to do some prebed skincare so life goes on.

Deliciously easy Keto Recipes by Rachel Roberts

Introduction

>>Click Here to Visit More Delicious recipes

The ketogenic diet or as like some people prefer to call it; the

A Keto diet or low-carb diet is about consuming a lot of protein and fats but fewer carbs. This diet makes the body send the fats that we consume to the liver, which the latter transforms it into energy to keep the body strong and active for a long time without feeling tired quickly.

The word ketogenic is derived from the word “ketosis” which means the state of the body when it doesn’t have enough glucose in it to turn it into energy, so it generates ketones that work as an amazing source of energy for both the body and the brain which makes it a great option for losing weight in a short term.

The keto diet prevents you from consuming a lot of carbs which are the main reason for gaining weight because the sugar makes you hungry most of the time. When you consume carbs with small portions and focus more on protein and fat; your body doesn’t push you most of the time to eat; instead, it use those fats to satisfy your hunger and keep you active.

If you are looking for a diet that will help you lose weight in the very short term, the ketogenic diet is the perfect diet for you because it not only helps you achieve a great lean body; but also provides immense health benefits.

The Benefits of The Ketogenic Diet

So far, there are a lot of great benefits of the keto diet, but no negative effects have appeared yet at all; which makes it the delicious diet that fits everybody. Here are other health benefits of the keto diet:

1. Increases the level of HDL: One of the best aspects of the ketogenic diet is that it increases the level of HDL in the body, which is the good cholesterol that helps in lowering the risk of heart diseases.

2. Helps in Alleviating Diabetes Type 2: By removing carbs from your daily meals, you say goodbye to sugar and insulin because your body already has what it needs, and you won’t have to be worried about what you eat.

3. Lowers Blood Pressure: High blood pressure is a catastrophe because it might lead to kidney failure, heart disease, and strokes... With this diet, you can say goodbye to all those worries and live a healthy life away from all those malignant diseases that threaten your life.

4. Gum Disease: Gum disease is one of the worst and most painful diseases which is commonly caused by the consumption of too much sugar. When you eliminate sugar from your daily meals, you can avoid gum diseases and toothaches.

While on the keto diet, most of your diet will consist of foods high in fats coupled with a measured intake of proteins and low carbohydrate intake. Some of the food categories allowed in this diet include:

>>Click Here to Visit More Delicious recipes

1. Proteins

Poultry: Free-range Cornish hen, quail, goose, pheasant, chicken, duck, and turkey.

Fish and Seafood: Cod, tuna, scrod, anchovies, mackerel, flounder, catfish, trout, mahi-mahi, halibut, sole, sardines, salmon, halibut, snapper, and calamari. Always opt for wild-caught fish to avoid toxins present in commercially reared fish.

Grass-fed Meat: These include beef, venison, goat, and lamb. Meat from wild animals are also acceptable; however, avoid sausages and meats that come with sugary sauces and those covered in breadcrumbs. Choose the chunks of meat with more fat since they contain less protein and more fat.

Pork: Boston butt, pork chops, ham pork, and loin. When choosing ham, be on the lookout for added sugar.

Bacon and Sausages: Preferably, you should buy these at specialty health food stores. If this is not possible, always read the labels to avoid those which contain fillers such as soy or sugars.

Canned Tuna and Salmon: Canned tuna and salmon are okay to consume while you are on the keto diet. However, avoid seafood rich in fillers, breaded seafood, and fried seafood.

Vegetable Protein Powders:Protein supplements such as whey protein, hemp protein, peas, and rice are acceptable.

Whole Eggs:This includes chicken eggs, and quail eggs which you can prepare through any means desired; fried, soft or hard-boiled, deviled, scrambled, or omelet style.

Shellfish: Oyster, mussels, lobster, shrimp, crab (not imitation crab that contains additives), clams, scallops, and squid.

2. Fats and Oils

Because these are your main sources of energy while you are on this diet, go for the types of fats and oils you enjoy. These may include:

>>Click Here to Visit More Delicious recipes

Omega 3 fatty acids from fish such as tuna, shellfish, and salmon

Fish supplements or krill

Monounsaturated fats such as egg yolks, avocado, and butter

Vegetable oils such as olive oil, coconut oil

Non-hydrogenated beef tallow, ghee, and lard.

Duck and chicken fat

In order to make it easier to stick to this diet, be aware of which types of fat your body can tolerate. Many people seem to have zero or very low tolerance for vegetable oils and mayo. This may be a good thing because most of these oils are rich in omega-6 fatty acids - the kind that is bad for your body’s cholesterol levels.

In this case, work with the listed monounsaturated fats to reduce the inflammatory effect brought about by polyunsaturated fats. Nevertheless, work to balance both fats because you cannot survive on monounsaturated fats alone (You need a lot of fats and oils). Even then, avoid hydrogenated fats such as margarine to reduce the amount of trans-fats you eat.

3. Fresh Vegetables

For these foods, opt for organic ones or better yet, grow your own to avoid all pesticide toxins. Avoid starchy vegetables (corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peas, and winter squash) that are high in carbs. Instead, opt for a moderate intake of sweet vegetables (squashes, peppers, tomatoes, and carrots). Vegetables that make it to the list are:

Celery

Collard Greens

Onions (high in sugar; moderate intake)

Alfalfa Sprouts

Beet Greens

Broccoli

Spinach

Dandelion Greens

Bamboo Shoots

Cabbage

Brussels sprouts

Garlic

Mushrooms

Shallots

Kale

Bok Choy

Sauerkraut

Chives

Celery Root

Swiss chard

Cauliflower

Snow Peas

Bean Sprouts

Olives

Cucumbers

Salad greens and lettuces: Romaine, Arugula, Fennel, BokChoy, Boston lettuce, Endive, Mache, Escarole, Sorrel, Radicchio, Chicory Water Chestnuts

Turnips

Scallions

Dill Pickles

Leeks

Radishes

Chard

Asparagus

4Dairy Products

Mascarpone cheese

of yogurt because it is a little high in carbs)

All soft and hard cheeses

Cream cheese

Heavy whipping cream In any case, always go for raw milk products and if you do not have easy access to them, go for the organic ones.

5. Beverages

>>Click Here to Visit More Delicious recipes

Bulletproof coffee

Decaf Tea

Flavored seltzer water

Decaf coffee

Water

Herbal tea

Lemon and lime juice (limit intake)

Clear broth or bouillon

6 Nuts and Seeds

Nuts: almonds, macadamias, pecans, and walnuts are the nuts with the lowest level of carbs meaning you can consume them in small amounts. Other nuts such as chestnuts, pistachios, and cashews contain a higher amount of carbs; thus, you should carefully monitor their intake. Nuts are best soaked for some time before roasted.

Nut flours: these are necessary because while you are on this diet, it does not mean baking no longer fits into your life. Nut flour such as almond flour will suffice.

7. Sweeteners Some options include:

Erythritol

Splendor-liquid

Inulin and Chicory root

Lo Han Guo

Liquid Stevia

Xylitol

Swerve

8. Spices

Here are the spices allowed on the keto diet:

Sea salt

Peppermint

Ginger

Basil

Chili pepper

Cloves

Thyme

Cilantro or coriander seeds

Rosemary

Black pepper

Cumin seeds

Oregano

Turmeric

Cayenne pepper

Cinnamon

Mustard seeds

Parsley

Dill

Sage

As you can see from the above very detailed list, the keto diet is NOT a highly-restrictive dieting lifestyle, it also offers you a variety of foods to choose from; thus, you should not feel overwhelmed.

However, there are foods you should avoid to achieve optimal ketosis as your body makes the switch from using glucose to synthesizing fats for ketones.

In the next section, we shall outline the foods you should avoid:

>>Click Here to Visit More Delicious recipes

Achieving Optimal Ketosis:

Foods to Avoid

If you stick to the food listed in the previous section, you do not have to worry about not achieving optimal ketosis. On the same note, as you increase your intake of those foods, you should also be on the lookout for the following foods that may hinder

01 ketosis:

Avoid all grains, wholemeal included (rye, wheat, oats, barley, corn, millet, rice sorghum and buckwheat). Also, avoid all products made from grains; these include foods such as crackers, pasta, pizza, and cookies.

Avoid refined fats and oils like sunflower, canola, grape seed, corn oil, soybean, and Trans-fats such as margarine.

Avoid milk (only full-fat raw milk is acceptable). For coffee, replace milk with reasonable amounts of cream.

Avoid tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples, mango papaya, etc., and some high-carb fruit.

Avoid fruit juice.

Avoid factory-farmed pork and fish.

Avoid all artificial sweeteners containing Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharine, etc.

Avoid alcoholic sweet drinks such as beer, and sweet wine

Avoid Soy products

Now that you know what to eat and what to avoid, is there a way to guarantee faster adoption of ketosis? The answer is yes. The following section illuminates such tips:

How to Get Into Ketosis ‘Fast’: Invaluable Tips

It takes 48 hours to get into ketosis. To get there, you must correctly adopt the keto diet. Below are tips that should help you do just that and get your body into ketosis faster:

Tip 1: To get into ketosis faster, eat less than 20g of carbs a day.

Tip 2: Drink water, about 100 ounces per day. Drink more to lose more.

Tip 3: Purchase some Ketosis. Getting some validation that the diet is actually working will be a great motivation to keep you on a diet considering the intimidating nature of the first few days of the diet.

Tip 4: Do not panic. Be aware of the keto flu coming your way.

The dizziness, irritability, and fatigue you will be feeling on the first three days may have you experiencing mood swings; but don’t give in just yet. Reward yourself with bacon and delicious keto-friendly foods as you crave for carbs and sugars. The craving will disappear as long as you’re full.

Tip 5: Consume more salt. This is really important. While on a keto diet, your body does not retain water as it normally would; hence, electrolytes like sodium quickly flush out of your body. Therefore, you need constant replenishing; otherwise, you will feel awful. As indicated earlier, opt for sea salt.

Tip 6: Never open the door to hunger. When you feel the tiniest bit of a hunger pang, immediately eat high-fat low-carb foods. The moment you get too hungry, it forms the temptation pathway. Remember: go simple. Do not over-plan things because when you do, you may end up making everything strict and less fun. The keto diet is fun; keep it so.

Tip 7: Remember: this is not a high-protein diet. The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carb, and moderate-protein diet. Moderate is the keyword here.

Tip 8: Embrace the fat. Eat fat to lose fat that is your new motto. Do not shy away from the fat because it is your ticket to a healthier you.

Common Keto Diet Mistakes You Should Avoid Nobody is perfect, and no diet is perfect. As you adopt this diet for good health and weight loss, you are bound to make several mistakes; this is normal. The best way to avoid, or minimize the effects of mistakes is by learning and preparing for common mistakes. Below is a list of common keto diet mistakes dieters make:

Eating Too Many Carbs

>>Click Here to Visit More Delicious recipes

There is no exact definition of what ‘low carb’ means. Some would say it is simply anything under 100 to 150 grams a day simply because they get amazing results with this range. However, this may be excessive if your aim is to have plenty of ketones in your bloodstream. Most keto dieters go for under 50 grams of carbs per day to get into optimal ketosis. Anything beyond that is termed as excessive.

Eating Too Much Protein Remember: the keto diet is all about protein moderation.

Impatience

As you adopt a keto diet, you need patience: patience to get into ketosis and patience to adapt to ketosis. Understand that previously, your body’s main source of energy was carbs; now, it has to adapt to a new source of energy, fats. The body requires time to do this; therefore, be patient.

Obsessing Over The Scale

The number on your weigh scale should not determine your keto diet success. Let this be the least of your worries. Just live life and enjoy your diet. Weight loss will happen; do yourself a favor and keep away from that scale.

Not Eating Enough Fats

The unrestricted consumption of fats may seem excessive. However, the keto diet is a high-fat diet. Just trust keto and enjoy the fat. However, you should eat the right kind of fats, preferably monounsaturated and saturated fats.

Eating Processed Keto’ Foods

When you are on a keto diet, always think about it this way: the intention is to eat natural ingredients and not foods that come in wrappers such as Atkins bars and Quest bars. Although you can occasionally eat these, the idea is for a large portion of your diet (we are talking about 70-80% of your entire diet) to consist of natural ingredients.

Being After A Quick Fix

If this is your aim, do not start the diet. The Keto diet is more of a lifestyle change than a short-term diet plan. Dropping a few pounds and then going back to your normal bad eating habits will be a waste of time.

Indecisiveness

Half-heartedly adopting the keto diet could be the worst thing you could do to yourself because you are just wasting time. If you are not all in, you will not survive through the temporary effects that come with adopting the diet. Decide on what you want and think of everything you will gain by going keto to keep you motivated.

The Dark Prince: Chapter 11

Chapter Summary: The reception...

Last chapter!  Thanks for reading!

“Their Most Royal Highnesses, Princess Y/N Lantsov and Prince Aleksander Kirigan!”  Your husband grasped your hand as you entered the ballroom, his smile growing at the cheers of your guests.  Aleksander led you to the banquet table, pulling your seat out for you before taking his own.  He lifted your joined hands to your lips and kissed your knuckles, looking at you as he did.

“My beautiful bride,” he whispered, making you smile.  “I love you so much.”  “I love you too, Aleksander.”  Once more following Ravkan tradition, Aleksander’s mother rose from her seat on his other side, clearing her throat.  “When my son told me that he was courting the Princess, I laughed in his face.  I thought he was joking.  But then I saw how happy she was making him, what he was willing to do for her, and I was convinced.  I did not love my son’s father, but I can see how deeply he loves his wife.”

Baghra lifted her glass in a toast, and the rest of the guests followed.  “My son, I pray that your life is full of nothing but happiness.  And to my new daughter, if he ever gives you trouble, I’ll beat him with my cane.”  You, along with the rest of the ballroom, laughed, raising your glasses in a toast.  Your mother rose next, and the room fell silent.  “My darling girl, I am so very happy for you.  To be a wife is a joy like no other, and I can see that your joy will surpass mine in every way.

“My advice to you is this, love each other and keep no secrets.  Your love will sustain you when nothing else will.”  You smiled, once more toasting your glass.  Aleksander, his hand still in yours, leaned over to kiss you, and you let him, tipping your head back and cupping his cheek.  It was your wedding day, for Saint’s sake, you’d kiss your husband if you wanted to.  When the Queen was seated, the servants brought out your wedding feast.

Roasted lamb, pork loins, potatoes in a cream sauce, fresh vegetables, bread and butter, blini, smoked cod, a variety of soups, kvas, wine, ale, and much more.  You knew that there was more than enough food, and at your request, the leftovers would be packaged and sent to the lower town, distributed to some of the less fortunate families.

Throughout the meal, Aleksander seldom took his eyes off of you; letting his hand brush against yours as he reached for his wine, admiring and complementing your beauty, whispering sweet nothings in your ear, hanging on your every movement.  You felt similarly, not wanting to look away from your husband, never wanting to leave his side.  When the meal was eaten and the dishes were cleared, Ivan and Alya made speeches, both boasting about being your friends, your leadership, your kindness, respectively, and the love you shared for each other.

When the best man and maid of honor speeches were finished, Aleksander rose, reluctantly dropping your hand.  “Thank you all for coming,” he said.  “You can say you’re here for us, but we both know you’re all here for Y/N.  And I don’t blame you.  Fortune has certainly been on my side as of late: Y/N allowed me to court her, I was given His Majesty’s blessing, and now, I am Princess Y/N’s husband.

“I have never known happiness like I do now, I have never known love like this.  And my beautiful, sweet, perfect Y/N, I will love you for the rest of our lives.  I will cherish and adore you every single day, my darling.  I love you, Y/N, and I will love you until the day I die.”  You wiped away a few tears and rose, wrapping your arms around Aleksander’s neck, pulling him down for a deep, sensual kiss.

“I love you so much,” you whispered, and your husband smiled, resting his hands on your waist.  “As I love you.”  Aleksander led you from the table as the musicians began playing, and your guests watched with rapt attention as you began your first dance.  You wound your arms around Aleksander’s neck once more, and he wrapped his arms around your waist, the two of you swaying gently back and forth to the music, eyes locked on one another.

“I didn’t think I could be as happy as I am right now,” your husband said.  Your veil had been removed so you didn’t tread on it, and Aleksander longed to run his hands through your hair, were it not so meticulously pinned in place.  “I know,” you replied.  “Were you nervous?”  Aleksander laughed.  “A bit.  I thought you might not show up.”  You smiled and shook your head.  “Father practically had to keep me from running down the aisle to you.”

He smiled, pressing a gentle, lingering kiss to your forehead.  “You are so beautiful, milaya,” Aleksander whispered against your skin.  “Radiant, ethereal, perfect.  I am so lucky.”  “So am I, Sasha.”  He released one arm from around your waist and cupped your cheek, kissing you deeply as you swayed back and forth.  “You are all I have ever wanted,” your husband said.  “All I have ever needed, my love.  You have completed me.”

You felt more tears springing to your eyes, and Aleksander kissed you again.  “Aleksander,” you said, his name conveying a thousand unspoken words.  “I love you.”  He only nodded, knowing he did not need to repeat the sentiment to know he felt it.  The song came to a close, and the guests clapped as they flocked to the dance floor.  Aleksander danced with your mother, and as his father was long dead, you danced with Baghra, the older woman only stepping on your toes four times.

Your father danced with you as well, telling you how proud of you he was and how happy he was for you.  “Be happy, my darling,” he said, kissing your cheek.  “Be happy with each other.  If you have that, nothing else matters.”  You knew your parents’ marriage wasn’t one born of love, but you also knew that over the years, they’d come to love each other in a sense.  It was partnership, respect, confidence.  But yours was true, undying, passionate love, and you would thank the Saints for that every single day.  

The evening was filled with dancing, drinking, and more kisses than you could count.  You danced to traditional folk songs, old Ravkan court dances, group dances, and a fair amount of simply swaying back and forth in your husband’s arms.  The reception lasted well into the night, and when ten bells struck, the guests were making their way back to their suites for the night.

Aleksander pulled you into a lingering kiss, and you smiled against his lips.  It had been a long day, and while part of you wanted nothing more than to fall into bed, the other part of you never wanted this day to end.  “Shall we retire, my lovely wife?”  You were leaving tomorrow for your honeymoon; a three week vacation to the Southern Colonies.  They boasted tropical beaches and world class cuisine, something you and Aleksander were eager to take advantage of.  When you returned to Ravka, you’d be taking a tour of the country, as was tradition for the royal family after a wedding.

“I suppose we shall, husband dearest.”  Aleksander offered his arm, which you took with a smile, and led you from the Grand Palace.  It would take a while to truly consider the Little Palace “home”, but you grinned to think of it as such.  Your things had all been moved, and while most of them had yet to be unpacked and arranged, they were in Aleksander’s rooms, and that thought made you smile wider.

“What are you thinking about, my love?” your husband asked, and you laughed.  “It’s silly.”  “Oh, do tell.”  “I was thinking about my things in your rooms.  That we’re really married now.”  Aleksander laughed, kissing your temple as you walked.  “We are, aren’t we?  That means you’re stuck with me forever.  No backing out now.”  You let out a laugh, your face tipping back to face the stars.

“I wouldn’t back out even if I wanted to, Aleksander.”  Your husband stopped in his tracks, about halfway between the Grand and Little Palaces.  He pulled you into his arms and kissed you, his lips soft against yours, his hands warm against your back.  “My Y/N, my wife,” Aleksander whispered.  “I love you so much.”  The stories all end with “and they lived happily ever after”, but your happily ever after was just beginning.

An early what’re we eating kids (because I'm so excited)

You guys, I’m already so pumped for my dinner tonight that I just have to tell you about it now.

I went to Costco for like, one thing and ended up leaving with 100 things (as you do). They had just replenished their seafood counter and oh my god. I lost my mind. I got huge cod loins. I got a zillion pounds of mussels. I got Argentinian red prawns the size of my hand. I got sockeye salmon.

Tonight for dinner I’m gonna do up a little moules dijonnaise, and I’m gonna marinate those huge prawns in a shit ton of garlic and fresh chilies and then grill them up. I have my favourite rosé wine chilling, I’m just going to run a few errands and then pour myself a Paloma, drabble a bit this afternoon, and then get it all ready.

[zoeykallus]

alright, I may have another one for you.

So, how would the boys handle reader being a tease, and pulling out (ha) all the stops. 'accidentally' brushing against them in close quarters, 'accidentally' dropping things, etc. Do the boys stand there quietly flustered with their hand-ons hiding in the cod pieces or do they just go 'alright, you asked for it'.

Loving these so far <3

Hehehe you really have to stop feeding my dirty mind ! jk, throw it at me whenever you come up with something, I really like this idea :)) As almost always, I'm taking it a bit further.

The Bad Batch x Fem!Reader - Spicy HC's 9 - Close Encounters

Warnings: Strongly Suggestive / Touchy Stuff / Sexual Inuendos / Sexual Content/ 18 +

You are stuck with your beloved clone in the Marauder due to a technical malfunction, you little tease decide to take adventage of the situation. Let's see where it gets you.

Important: Hunter's Part builds up the scenario, so read that one first.

Hunter

He's nervous. For the first time really alone with you and then even in a confined space, inside the Marauder, stuck. Your closeness makes him nervous for a long time because he has noticed that your scent magically attracts him and makes him dream wild things at night, so wild that some mornings he doesn't dare to look you in the eye, almost as if he feared you could see in it what he had dreamed.

You know that you make him nervous, you have felt it, you have noticed it by now. Here and now, you want to take advantage of it. You both know you're going to be stuck for several more hours, because the others are on their way to get spare parts for the ship and neither you nor Hunter can open the Marauder right now.

You start out very slowly, innocently. A casual touch here, an accidental gentle collision there, after all, the Marauder doesn't offer too much room to move. He's already flustered, tingling under the surface, under his skin, down into his bones.

You're wearing civi clothes today, after all, there wasn't really anything special on today. Your skirt is a daring length, but you've even gone one step further, you're not wearing any underwear. You've built everything up to this moment, stepped it up, you know his gaze is glued to you, his pulse is elevated, he's hot in his blacks. Then you put the icing on the cake. You drop the ring you've been playing around with all this time, twisting it between your fingers. With a soft clink it lands on the floor and rolls under one of the bunks.

You bend down, your skirt sliding up, and a shiver runs through Hunter.

"Maker," he whispers under his breath.

He sees your naked buns and bites his tongue hard, feeling the arousal shoot into his loins and suppressing a curse. It's getting pretty damn tight under his cod piece right now.

You get down on your knees, your ass stretched out, he sees everything as your hand gropes under the bunk.

"Where the hell did it go?" you ask quietly, with the ring already in your hand under the bunk.

Hunter quietly sits down on the bunk behind you and can't stop staring.

"Is it valuable?" he asks, more or less interested.

"An heirloom," you reply.

"Then you should keep looking," he says, licking his lips.

You bend your torso further down while kneeling, your butt further up, and hear him moan very softly. The thought of him staring at you makes your blood boil. You know he's sitting there behind you staring at your naked butt, you know he wants to touch you and you want that too. Your arousal builds and suddenly you hear him draw in his breath sharply. He's smelled it.

"You're doing this on purpose," he states in a husky voice.

You look back, still kneeling in front of him, and see him take off his cod piece, pull his blacks down a bit, and take his thick cock in his hand and start pumping slowly.

"If you're going to give me a show, I guess I might as well enjoy it," he says, looking you straight in the eye for a moment.

With a smirk, you wiggle your ass and his gaze jerks back to your rear end, his hand around his cock picking up a little speed.

"Don't finish so fast, I actually had something else in mind for you," you rebuke him.

He lets go of his cock and looks at you questioningly as you climb onto the bunk on all fours You kneel on the bunk still facing him with your rear end and reach between your legs, starting to stroke your wet folds, his gaze following your fingers, his cock twitching eagerly, and eventually you are starting to massaging your pearl.

Hunter gets up and stands behind you, kneeling on the bunk you have just the right height and his hard length hovers right in front of your wet entrance. You push your hips back, nudging him, letting his velvety tip prod at your pussy.

"Do you really want this?" he moans aroused.

"Yes, very much so"

The next moment he slowly penetrates you, stretching you and filling you completely.

Echo

Sweet Echo, your little touches and bumps quickly have him off balance, blushing, avoiding your gaze and just being sweet and shy. You almost have a guilty conscience. He seems so innocent and adorable. But you're curious and you want to know how he reacts, so you keep going.

The ring rolls under the bunk and the moment you lean down, Echo holds his breath and can't help but stare at your rear end from wide eyes. As you bend down further and stretch your rear end up even further, he moans softly. The movement is so obvious, so suggestive he finally catches his breath and says softly, "Please tell me you're doing this on purpose."

You look behind you and see him standing there staring down at you, he seems nervous and horny at the same time, his fingers tugging thoughtlessly at his cod piece.

You stand up and he blinks as if he needs to break free from a trance.

"Sit down Echo"

"Why?" he asks uncertainly.

"I want to do something good for you, if you'll let me".

He blinks again but sits down. He inhales deeply as your fingers move to his cod piece exposing the bulge underneath. Softly palming his cock through the fabric of his blacks you look up at him with a smile.

He moans softly, leaning back a bit and leaning on his arms. An invitation, he likes your touch, he is ready for more. As you place a kiss down his length over the fabric of his clothes, his hips jerk up softly with another moan.

You reach for the fabric of the pants, he lifts his pelvis slightly to give you easier access as you pull them down a bit, far enough to free his cock. It's hard, thick and beautiful, gently curved, the silky tender tip swollen and slightly reddened.

Your hand grips the bottom of his hard length, feeling the warmth of his body. He licks his lips, his breathing slower and heavier.

Your lips gently touch his tip with a gentle kiss and he lets out a stuttering moan. Then your tongue twitches over a droplet of pre cum, right on the little slit and he twitches again.

He looks at you and his gaze is full of lust and adoration, he adores you, he can't believe what he's about to enjoy.

Your lips gently close around his cock and your head bobs up and down.

Softly he moans with shaking thighs, "Mesh'la".

Wrecker

He is sweet, but far from being easily flustered. But he does notice your touches, the little gestures and temptations you expose him to. He perceives them and his thoughts go a little on wanderings. He imagines what you look like naked.

However, he is quite surprised at first when your ring rolls under the bunk and you bend down.

"Wow," comes directly from his lips, but he doesn't continue this thought but watches you fascinated.

He knows you're doing this on purpose, he's a lot smarter than he sometimes seems.

He chuckles, "You know there are easier ways to get my attention, right?"

You look up over your shoulder and see him leaning straight down at you. He grabs your hips and pulls you up into the air. You let out a startled little cry, suddenly hanging upside down in his grip. His mouth drives down on your pubic without warning, hungrily, intensely.

"Oooh Wrecker!"

He hums into your pussy in response, causing delicious vibration that makes your thighs tremble around his head.

He's been waiting for this moment for a long time, he's not going to let go of you anytime soon. You can be sure that he has a lot of sexy ideas on how to pass the time until you can leave the Marauder again.

Tech

He is quite confused at first, Tech is a little torn, he feels quite excited and interested and at the same time pressed, he doesn't really know what to do with your behavior.

He doesn't really understand what this is all about, not yet. He is just about to explain you the concept of personal space, when you drop the ring and go down on your knees, when he very suddenly falls completely silent.

Your naked rear end is stretched out to him and he can't help but stare, feeling himself getting hard under his cod piece. He blinks to make sure he really sees what he thinks he sees.

After quite a while he finally clears his throat nervously and points out that you are not wearing any underwear.

"I know"

"And you're still on your knees, with your short skirt, even though you know I can see you?"

You look up over your shoulder and smile.

"Yes"

He swallows and licks his lips.

"You want me to see you?"

"Yes"

Tech sets aside the data pad he had in his hand earlier and says more boldly than he feels, "I'd like to see more"

With a smile you climb onto the bunk facing him, he sits down and watches you undress. His eyes are wide and follow your every move, admiring your body. Finally when you are completely naked, he asks you to kneel down again, but this time not in front of but on the bunk.

"That's it," he says a little breathlessly and takes off his cod piece, starting to palm his hard lenght through the fabric of the blacks.

Almost shyly he looks at you and says, "I-I would really like to…. uhm watch you masturbate"

"Will you be masturbating too?"

Tech swollows and nods, "Yeah, if you don't mind".

"Can I watch you too?"

Tech nods with a gentle smile and slightly blushing cheeks.

Crosshair

He knows exactly what you're up to, he doesn't stop you. It amuses him how you try to turn him on, with your little touches, the "accidental" collisions. But the moment you get down on your knees to look for your ring, he realizes you mean business.

He smirks, thinking if that's the way you want it, that's the way you'll get it.

Crosshair takes off his cod piece without hesitation and lets it fall noisily to the ground. You look back, startled, and see him just unwrapping his swelling length.

"You want this, don't you?"

You blink, actually you shouldn't be surprised, after all you're dealing with Crosshair here.

You nod and admit, "That was the goal, yes".

He lets out a dirty little chuckle.

"Who am I to deny you that wish. Kneel on the bunk"

You comply with his request and one of his hands caresses the insides of your thighs, your buns, while his other hand slowly pumps his cock. His deft long fingers, caressing your already wet folds, find your clit and massage it, eliciting a moan from you, then one of his fingers slips into your pussy and he says, "That's where you want my cock, right?"

"Yes," you moan softly, biting your lower lip.

He plays with you for a while longer before he gets behind you and pushes at your gate with his cock, slowly advancing inside you.

"You're pretty tight girl"

"You're just pretty big"

He grins and starts to thrust into you as his fingers find your pearl again and continue their dance, sliding over your clit.

He is going to fuck you silly.

Best Deliciously Easy keto Recipes

                                       Introduction

The ketogenic diet or as like some people prefer to call it; the Keto diet or low carb diet is about consuming a lot of protein and fats but fewer carbs. This diet makes the body send the fats that we consume to the liver, which the latter transform it into energy to keep the body strong and active for a long time without feeling tired quickly.

The ketogenic diet or as like some people prefer to call it; the Keto diet or low carb diet is about consuming a lot of protein and fats but fewer carbs. This diet makes the body send the fats that we consume to the liver, which the latter transform it into energy to keep the body strong and active for a long time without feeling tired quickly.

The keto diet prevents you from consuming the lot for carbs that are the main reason of gaining weight because the sugar makes you hungry most of the time. When you consume carbs with small portions and focus more on protein and fat; your body doesn’t push you most of the time to eat; instead, it uses those fats to satisfy your hunger and keep you active.

If you are looking for a diet that will help you lose weight in a very short term, the ketogenic diet is the perfect diet for you because it not only helps you achieve great lean body; but also provides immense health benefits.

The Benefits of The Ketogenic Diet

So far, there are a lot of great benefits of the keto diet, but no negative effects have appeared yet at all; which makes it the delicious diet that fits everybody. Here are other health benefits of keto diet:

1. Increases the level of HDL:

One of the best aspects of the ketogenic diet is that it increases the level of HDL in the body, which is the good cholesterol that helps in lowering the risk of heart diseases.

2. Helps in Alleviating Diabetes Type 2: 

By removing carbs from your daily meals, you say goodbye to sugar and insulin because your body already has what it needs, and you won’t have to be worried about what you eat.

3. Lowers Blood Pressure: 

High blood pressure is a catastrophe because it might lead to kidney failure, heart diseases, strokes... 

With this diet, you can say goodbye to all those worries and live a healthy life away from all those malignant diseases that threaten your life.

4. Gum Disease: 

Gum disease is one of the worst and most painful diseases which is commonly caused by the consumption of too much sugar. When you eliminate sugar from your daily meals, you can avoid gum diseases and toothaches. 

While on the keto diet, most of your diet will consist of foods high in fats coupled with a measured intake of proteins and low carbohydrate intake. Some of the food categories allowed in this diet include:

1. Proteins

Poultry: Free-range Cornish hen, quail, goose, pheasant, chicken, duck, and turkey.

Fish and Seafood: Cod, tuna, scrod, anchovies, mackerel, flounder, catfish, trout, mahi-mahi, halibut, sole, sardines, salmon, halibut, snapper, and calamari. Always opt for wild caught fish to avoid toxins present in commercially reared fish.

Grass-fed Meat: These include beef, venison, goat, and lamb. Meat from wild animals are also acceptable; however, avoid sausages and meats that come with sugary sauces and those covered in breadcrumbs. Choose the chunks of meat with more fat since they contain less protein and more fat.

 Pork: Boston butt, pork chops, ham pork, and loin. When choosing ham, be on the lookout for added sugar. 

Bacon and Sausages: Preferably, you should buy these at specialty health food stores. If this is not possible, always read the labels to avoid those which contain fillers such as soy or sugars.

Canned Tuna and Salmon: Canned tuna and salmon are okay to consume while you are on the keto diet. However, avoid seafood rich in fillers, breaded seafood, and fried seafood. 

Vegetable Protein Powders: Protein supplements such as whey protein, hemp protein, pea, and rice are acceptable. 

Whole Eggs: This includes chicken eggs, and quail eggs which you can prepare through any mean desired; fried, soft or hard boiled, deviled, scrambled, or omelet style. 

Shellfish: Oyster, mussels, lobster, shrimp, crab (not imitation crab that contains additives), clams, scallops, and squid.

2. Fats and Oils

Because these are your main sources of energy while you are on this diet, go for the types of fats and oils you enjoy. These may include:

* Omega 3 fatty acids from fish such as tuna, shellfish, and salmon

* Fish supplements or krill

* Monounsaturated fats such as egg yolks, avocado, and butter

* Vegetable oils such as olive oil, coconut oil

* Non-hydrogenated beef tallow, ghee, and lard.

* Duck and chicken fat

In order to make it easier to stick to this diet, be aware of which types of fat your body can tolerate. Many people seem to have zero or very low tolerance of vegetable oils and mayo. This may be a good thing because most of these oils are rich in omega 6 fatty acids - the kind that is bad for your body’s cholesterol levels.

In this case, work with the listed monounsaturated fats to reduce the inflammatory effect brought about by polyunsaturated fats. Nevertheless, work to balance both fats because you cannot survive on monounsaturated fats alone (You need a lot of fats and oils). Even then, avoid hydrogenated fats such as margarine to reduce the amount of trans-fats you eat.

3. Fresh Vegetables

For these foods, opt for organic ones or better yet, grow your own to avoid all pesticide toxins. Avoid starchy vegetables (corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peas, and winter squash) that are high in carbs. Instead, opt for moderate intake of sweet vegetables (squashes, peppers, tomatoes, and carrots). Vegetables that make it to the list are:

Celery

Collard Greens 

Onions (high in sugar; moderate intake)  

Alfalfa Sprouts  

Beet Greens  

Broccoli  

Spinach 

Dandelion Greens 

Bamboo Shoots  

Cabbage 

Brussels sprouts  

Garlic 

Mushrooms  

Shallots 

Kale 

Bok Choy  

Sauerkraut  

Chives 

Celery Root  

Swiss chard  

Cauliflower  

Snow Peas 

Bean Sprouts  

Olives 

Cucumbers 

Salad greens and lettuces: Romaine, Arugula, Fennel, Bok Choy, Boston lettuce, Endive, Mache, Escarole, Sorrel, Radicchio, Chicory Water Chestnuts 

Turnips 

Scallions 

Dill Pickles 

Leeks 

Radishes  

Chard 

Asparagus

4. Dairy Products

Mascarpone cheese 

Unsweetened whole milk yogurt (limit intake of this type of yogurt because it is a little high in carbs) 

All soft and hard cheeses 

Cream cheese 

Full fat sour cream (do not forget to check for additives) 

Full fat cottage cheese 

Heavy whipping cream

In any case, always go for raw milk products and if you do not have easy access to them, go for the organic ones.

5. Beverages

Bulletproof coffee 

Decaf Tea 

Flavored seltzer water 

Decaf coffee 

Water 

Herbal tea 

Lemon and lime juice (limit intake) 

Clear broth or bouillon

6. Nuts and Seeds

Nuts: almonds, macadamias, pecans, and walnuts are the nuts with the lowest level of carbs meaning you can consume them in small amounts. Other nuts such as chestnuts, pistachios, and cashews contain a higher amount of carbs; thus, you should carefully monitor their intake. Nuts are best soaked for some time before roasted. 

Nut flours: these are necessary because while you are on this diet, it does not mean baking no longer fits into your life. Nut flours such as almond flour will suffice.

7. Sweeteners

Some options include:

Erythritol 

Splendor-liquid 

Inulin and Chicory root 

Lo Han Guo 

Liquid Stevia  

Xylitol 

Swerve

8. Spices

Here are spices allowed on the keto diet:

Sea salt 

Peppermint 

Ginger 

Basil 

Chili pepper 

Cloves 

Thyme 

Cilantro or coriander seeds  

Rosemary 

Black pepper 

Cumin seeds 

Oregano  

Turmeric 

Cayenne pepper 

Cinnamon 

Mustard seeds 

Parsley 

Dill 

Sage

As you can see from the above very detailed list, keto diet is NOT a highly-restrictive dieting lifestyle, it also offers you a variety of foods to choose from; thus, you should not feel overwhelmed.

However, there are foods you should avoid to achieve optimal ketosis as your body makes the switch from using glucose to synthesizing fats for ketones.

In the next section, we shall outline the foods you should avoid:

Achieving Optimal Ketosis: Foods to Avoid

If you stick to the food listed in the previous section, you do not have to worry about not achieving optimal ketosis. On the same note, as you increase intake of those foods, you should also be on the lookout for the following foods that may hinder ketosis:

Avoid all grains, whole meal included (rye, wheat, oats, barley, corn, millet, rice sorghum and buckwheat). Also, avoid all products made from grains; these include foods such as crackers, pasta, pizza, and cookies.

Avoid refined fats and oils like sunflower, canola, grape seed, corn oil, soybean, and Trans-fats such as margarine. 

Avoid milk (only full-fat raw milk is acceptable). For coffee, replace milk with reasonable amounts of cream. 

Avoid tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples, mango papaya, etc., and some high carb fruit.

Avoid fruit juice.

Avoid factory-farmed pork and fish.

Avoid all artificial sweeteners containing Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharine, etc.

Avoid alcoholic sweet drinks such as beer, and sweet wine

Avoid Soy products

Now that you know what to eat and what to avoid, is there a way to guarantee faster adoption of ketosis? The answer is yes. The following section illuminates such tips:

How to Get Into Ketosis ‘Fast’: Invaluable Tips

It takes 48 hours to get into ketosis. To get there, you must correctly adapt the keto diet. Below are tips that should help you do just that and get your body into ketosis faster:

Tip 1: To get into ketosis faster, eat less than 20g of carbs a day. 

Tip 2: Drink water, about 100 ounces per day. Drink more to lose more. 

Tip 3: Purchase some Ketosis. Getting some validation that the diet is actually working will be a great motivation to keep you on a diet considering the intimidating nature of the first few days of the diet. 

Tip 4: Do not panic. Be aware of the keto flu coming your way. The dizziness, the irritability, and fatigue you will be feeling on the first three days may have you experiencing mood swings; but don’t give in just yet. Reward yourself with bacon and delicious keto friendly foods as you crave for carbs and sugars. The craving will disappear as long as you’re full. 

Tip 5: Consume more salt. This is really important. While on a keto diet, your body does not retain water as it normally would; hence, electrolytes like sodium quickly flush out of your body. Therefore, you need constant replenishing; otherwise, you will feel awful. As indicated earlier, opt for sea salt. 

Tip 6: Never open the door to hunger. When you feel the tiniest bit of a hunger pang, immediately eat high-fat low-carb foods. The moment you get too hungry, it forms the temptation pathway. Remember: go simple. Do not over plan things because when you do, you may end up making everything strict and less fun. The keto diet is fun; keep it so. 

Tip 7: Remember: this is not a high protein diet. The keto diet is high fat, low carb, and moderate protein diet. Moderate is the key word here. 

Tip 8: Embrace the fat. Eat fat to lose fat that is your new motto. Do not shy away from the fat because it is your ticket to a healthier you.

Common Keto Diet Mistakes You Should Avoid 

Nobody is perfect, and no diet is perfect. As you adopt this diet for good health and weight loss, you are bound to make several mistakes; this is normal. The best way to avoid, or minimize the effects of mistakes is by learning and preparing for common mistakes. Below is a list of common keto diet mistakes dieters make:

Eating Too Many Carbs 

There is no exact definition of what ‘low carb’ means. Some would say it is simply anything under 100 to 150 grams a day simply because they get amazing results with this range. However, this may be excessive if your aim is to have plenty of ketones in your bloodstream. Most keto dieters go for under 50-grams of carbs per day to get into optimal ketosis. Anything beyond that is termed as excessive.

Eating Too Much Protein 

Remember: the keto diet is all about protein moderation.

Impatience 

As you adopt a keto diet, you need patience: patience to get into ketosis and patience to adapt to ketosis. Understand that previously, your body’s main source of energy was carbs; now, it has to adapt to a new source of energy, fats. The body requires time to do this; therefore, be patient.

Obsessing Over The Scale 

The number on your weigh scale should not determine your keto diet success. Let this be the least of your worries. Just live life and enjoy your diet. Weight loss will happen; do yourself a favor and keep away from that scale.

Not Eating Enough Fats 

The unrestricted consumption of fats may seem excessive. However, the keto diet is a high-fat diet. Just trust keto and enjoy the fat. However, you should eat the right kind of fats, preferably monounsaturated and saturated fats.

Eating Processed Keto’ Foods 

When you are on a keto diet, always think about it this way: the intention is to eat natural ingredients and not foods that come in wrappers such as Atkins bars and Quest bars. Although you can occasionally eat these, the idea is for a large portion of your diet (we are talking about 70-80% of your entire diet) to consist of natural ingredients.

Being After A Quick Fix 

If this is your aim, do not start the diet. The Keto diet is more of a lifestyle change than a short-term diet plan. Dropping a few pounds and then going back to your normal bad eating habits will be a waste of time.

Indecisiveness 

Half-heartedly adopting the keto diet could be the worst thing you could do to yourself because you are just wasting time. If you are not all in, you will not survive through the temporary effects that come with adopting the diet. Decide on what you want and think of everything you will gain by going keto to keep you motivated.
