Eating with a DS, PART 2: Another Day in the Life (pics!)

It's funny because I would hit all of that (minus 98% of the fat) Just in WAY smaller portions.

Doesn't coconut milk taste "fatty" to you? I cooked with it once and even my husband was like "Wow, don't make that again." lol

Regarding the coconut milk, what brand did you use? I really love the "So Delicious" brand unsweetened. It comes in a carton, refrigerated, in the dairy aisle. It has a totally different taste and mouthfeel from canned coconut milk (which I get in the Asian food aisle and pretty much use for Thai cooking only). 

It doesn't taste fatty to me (despite the fact that it is basically pure fat!). But then, my tastes have changed quite a bit since surgery, so that could be it too. I think sometimes our tastes and bodies adapt based on what we need.

Yeah, it was the stuff in the can.  It was "filmy"  I haven't seen the stuff in a carton, I will look for that next time!

 Coconut MILK or CREAM of coconut?

 Thanks for posting Jenna, I'm going to throw some bacon in the oven right now!  Yum!!!

 Enjoy the bacon, Bonnie! :-)

Looks yummmy, especially the lamb!! Can I ask how much you spend on groceries a week?

Hi Lynn,

Groceries are an area where I admittedly like to splurge. If I didn't shop at BJ's and look for sales like a hawk, I'd probably go broke on my cheese and bacon habit alone.

Currently, I spend an average of $175 per week. That is for myself, my husband and my disabled mom who lives with us. Part of the cost is the fact that I have special foods which they don't eat (and vice versa), so there's duplication happening. 

Just about what I spend for me and two adult normies - awesome. You look great, keep it and enjoy that bacon :0)

Jenna Lynn, thanks for posting this and it was very informative. I have a question, and please don't take this as snarky, or negative or attacking or anything. I am genuinely curious....

I know how my excretory system would react to that amount of food/fat in a days time. I would spend several hours in the bathroom, and not in a GOOD way.

I'm wondering if your body has adjusted to this eating style, or if that 80% that passes through causes you to spend more time in the bathroom than you would like? I'm trying to figure out the pooping/gas issues here....
