“Breakfast doesn’t have to be a huge production, Ken. For one guy, it’s doable, but for an entire family rushing around trying to get ready all at once? How do you do it?”Ī smirk plays about Valentina’s face. Heck, they even trick us into eating cupcakes for breakfast simply by calling them ‘muffins.’ For Primal, it seems like you have to cook your breakfasts. Pour a bowl of cereal, pop something in a toaster for two minutes, drink some juice.
“Man, industrialized food producers really have us beat when it comes to easy breakfasts. He can’t spend an hour every morning making breakfast, but how else is he going to convince his family to commit?Īt work, a dejected Ken voices his concerns to Valentina. He went big too early with that first elaborate breakfast, and now he doesn’t know what to do. Kelly’s toasting bread, Kenny’s eating cereal out of the dog’s extra (big) water bowl. They all agreed they could get used to this.įast forward one week and Ken’s little early morning pristine Primal wonderland is marred by burnt toast scrapings and cereal-sweetened milk. Even vegetarian Kenny enjoyed a couple strips of bacon, the gateway meat. Huge omelets cooked in butter, twelve ounces of crispy bacon, a big berry fruit salad, pot of coffee. That first Tuesday morning after his revelation at work, Ken bounded out of bed a half hour early and prepared a massive Primal breakfast feast. Their son Kenny usually opts for cereal, something with the words golden, crunch, nutty, and/or harvest in the name. It’s pure habit at this point, her circadian rhythm is probably entrained to that toast and peanut butter. Kelly Korg has been eating four slices of whole wheat toast and peanut butter for breakfast every morning for as long as he’s known her.
Yes, despite Ken’s initial successes, there is discord in the house of Korg. Any veteran Primal Blueprinter could have told Ken to expect some challenging moments, especially if you’re trying to take your family along for the ride. Nothing too big or too disheartening, mind you, but snags nonetheless. That said, Ken’s journey has hit some snags. He can go about his day without keeping his appetite on one of those creepy child leashes. For once, Ken doesn’t have to tap into a steady drip of willpower to keep from stuffing his face. And now, instead of reaching for processed snack foods (Cheez-Its were an old fave) when he does happen to get a small hunger pang he has a few nuts or a strip of ( homemade) jerky and gets on with life. He gets hungry when it matters – before a meal, for example, or after exercising – but he doesn’t constantly think about food like he did before. Yeah, well, one week in, Ken’s wearing the waistline barometers to work… and he didn’t even have to lie down on the bed to get them on. You know what pair I mean – that pair of jeans that everyone has, the waistline barometer. He hasn’t weighed himself yet, having been warned away from scale obsession, but he has managed to button up a certain pair of jeans. Currently, Ken is eating between 50-75 grams of carbohydrate each day and it seems to be working. Things are falling into place, and he’s happy with the results thus far.Īs per Valentina’s guidance, he consulted the carb curve and reduced his carbohydrate intake. One week into his Primal Blueprint challenge, Ken Korg is rolling.
