So this started with my powerlifting coach recommending I lower my carbs to around 100g. At this point in time, I was counting calories, somewhere between cutting/maintaining, and ate a low-fat omnivorous diet, basically lean meat, eggs, vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta and bread. I had also done keto in the past and carnivore, but I found the negative symptoms from both too overwhelming. I enjoyed eating carnivore a lot, but like keto it impacted my strength and power very negatively, and additionally it messed up my digestion severely regardless of how much fat I ate. So in any case, I cut out the higher carb sources, and now I eat fatty meat, eggs, ghee and lard sparingly. I also eat vegetables with my eggs preworkout and potatoes with meat after training. In the evenings I eat like a carnivore to satiety. My carbs are somewhere around 100g daily.

I love having a few “super impressive – but nearly zero effort went into this – dishes” in my back pocket to bring to gatherings. Mostly because I love delicious food, but also because I appreciate having my ego fluffed while doing the bare minimum (the person that replenishes the chip bowl will always be a hero in my eyes). This Olive Tapenade fits the “super impressive, minimal effort” description to a T. It’s the kind of dish that you can spend less than 10 minutes on, but will always be met with “oohs” and “ahs” and “oh, you fancy!” comments from anyone who eats it at said gatherings. This Olive Tapenade combines the briny umami of green and Kalamata olives with a punchy hit of citrus, garlic, and red pepper that seems to go well with just about everything it’s paired with.
