Thanks pal. It's not cancerous just another road block in getting back in a groove. I think I'm going to start training again next week. The stitches will still be in but that will be 7 days in and I don't see them popping out. I'll pick and choose my exercises carefully. That should help. The other thing is that I'm in a food rut. The chicken breasts, tilapia, turkey, etc. that I've been eating daily for 25 years is all of the sudden hard to get down. Hell, some nights I can't even bring myself to cook it let alone eat it. I feel best when I'm doing keto. Plus, once I start eating carbs I can't stop. I will eat berries for the overall value they provide to health. If you or any of the guys have any recommendations, I'm all ears.
I understand, i prefer to limit carbs too and like to follow a reasonable diet.
I like to eat cranberries, blueberries and blackberries for a snack.
My advice is to change things up in your diet but keep it tight. Don't worry about carbs, focus on eating meat and veggies.
I like to cook and i would start watching some youtube videos on basics meals you like or that your wife can cook.
I do a mean chicken stir fry with veggies, avocado oil, salt, pepper, montreal seasoning and jalapenos. Cook it super hot and add fresh rinsed veggies of your choice, doesn't matter really, i like green beans and carrots.
Make a fat juicy burger on the grill 80/20 beef, add some salt, pepper, finely diced onions and poblano peppers; hand mix all that in with the raw meat with one egg yolk as well. Form them into patties, let them get cold in the fridge and grill them. I use a pellet smoker, or you can get crazy with a cast iron skillet, baste them with butter and garlics. Shits unreal.
Cook a good ribeye. Smoke some salmon or flounder. Look up some good veggie recipe with bacon and seasoning.
Crock pot pinto beans, mexican style with onions, jalapenos, cumin, salt pepper. Cook on high for 6 hours. Goes with anything. Beware of gas.
Watch Sam the Cooking guy on youtube. Cool stuff that is easy. But only if you like to cook like i do.
