Crockpot Chicken

This recipe is based off of one from Stupid Easy Paleo the recipe on their website is called Crockpot Turkey Breast.  The only difference is I used a whole chicken.  The meat will literally fall off the bone.  Its tender and amazing, I love making this recipe!!!

4. Sprinkle the turkey breast generously with Herbs de Provence, sea salt and pepper.
5. Slice orange, and arrange the pieces on top of the turkey.

Fat Bombs

Its important when eating a Ketogenic based diet to get  just the right amount of Fat and Protein.  With out it the process of ketotsis can't occur and for me I can't keep myself seizure free.  I will save the explanation of ketosis for another post, just know for now its when the body begins to burn fat instead of carbohydrates.

What's a Fat Bomb?  Its are any low carb recipe or food (cream cheese, macadamia nuts) with a significant percentage of fat, 85% fat or more.

These little guys are easy to make and give you the needed fat I require.  I currently need to consume 200 grams of fat a day and its really hard to do with just my meals.  Eating one of these gives me a big dose of fat in a little bit size treat.

Here is the recipe for today's batch.  I found it at “Butter Is Not A Carb” click on the link to check out more of their recipes.  I made my own changes to the recipe.....

***I opted to use 2 teaspoons of Agave instead of Stevia
***I also used my own homemade peanut butter instead of store bought.
