Pork tenderloin, one stuffed con queso y jalapeños for my daughter, and the other sin jalapeños for my son.
So the three of us are in agreement - it looked much better than it tasted. Pork tenderloin is a regular meal for us and I've made it the same for so long that the bacon was just too ... bacony
Two bonus discoveries: Some of the cheese oozed out and mingled with the pan juices and the bacon renderings, and after a pass through the fat separator it made a delicious cheese sauce that actually saved the meal. I'll have to figure out how to replicate this without having to involve the bacon directly applied to the meat.
Bonus two: I have proven that bacon does not make EVERYTHING taste better. And is there not some degree of irony when you consider that the meat that bacon did not pair with well was pork?
Not bad, just not good enough to warrant the effort again. Or, as my son said, "well, it's not the best thing I ever ate, that's for sure."

Bumping this thread...
Sitting in McD's with a cup of coffee (mocha) and 10 (fake) chicken or something nuggets.
I was amazed at how fast I burned up my calories for the day with this stupid stop.
My reason for bumping the post was to share with you an app I started using about a week or so ago. It's called "loose it." It's pretty amazing how it can keep track of your caloric in take and it's easy to use.
I was introduced to app by a gym buddy after commenting to him I am working out about 4 times a week but not seeing the results I would like to. He suggested the app so I gave it a try. I was amazed at how out of control my portion sizes had become!
My usual stop at the arches included a large coke, a fish sandwich, 2 hamburgers plus 2 more chicken sandwiches.... do you have any idea how many calories that is... and then I would go home and park in front of the "eyed boob" and eat again then follow that with chips.
So glad the bro at the gym showed me this... I eat like a pig!
Passing it along to any other fatties out there.

I've found it difficult to run absolutely 100% keto for the long run. But the months I stayed pretty much "keto true" taught me to see food as fuel, and that I only need to eat enough to keep me going until I get hungry again (usually around 3-4 hours). I have been eating carbs again, but not with every single meal. I've pretty much sworn off sugary soft drinks and potatoes. I have a sweet treat now and then, but don't crave them any more.
Keto helped me lose the weight. I did gain a little of it back when I first got off, but I've maintained the same (lower) weight now for nearly a year. I attribute that to adopting portion control practices, along with a healthier attitude toward food in general.

How is your lack of self control MY fault? And now you finally admit you have a sweet tooth!
