Rich, intensely savory, and meltingly tender, ribs are about as Primal an eating experience as we can muster these days unless we’re out in the wild hunting or fishing and cooking protein over a campfire. Kalbi, a classic Korean BBQ dish, begins with a bath in a sweet and salty marinade before being cooked until caramelized on a grill or under other intense heat.

Flanken short ribs are cross-cut ribs about a half-inch thick. Ask your butcher to prepare them for you if you can’t find them. For the marinade, you can use any type of apple, or you can use an Asian pear. These ribs are broiled, but you can also put them on the grill for a few minutes on each side.

Kalbi Ribs

Time: 8 hours, 10 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs. Flanken beef short ribs
• 1/2 cup peeled and chopped apple
• ¼ cup coconut aminos
• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger
• 2 large cloves garlic or 3-4 small cloves
• 5 roughly chopped scallions
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup Primal Kitchen No-Soy Island Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade
• Sliced scallions and sesame seeds, to garnish
• Optional: cayenne pepper, for kick

Instructions

Place the apple, coconut aminos, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, scallions and salt in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth. Add the Primal Kitchen No-Soy Island Teriyaki Sauce. Pour the sauce in a large glass bowl or glass measuring cup and mix in the short ribs. Place them in the fridge and allow them to marinate for 6–8 hours.

Turn on the broiler of your oven. Lay the short ribs on a sheet pan in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. Broil for 1–2 minutes on either side, or until they are cooked through. Top the ribs with any juices from the pan and top with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and cayenne pepper (if desired).

“HOLY CRAP, JIMMY!”

It’s amazing what can happen in 12 months with the right plan!

This is Jimmy, an aeronautical engineer from Atlanta who is currently getting his master’s in aerospace engineering.

He joined our Online Coaching Program in early 2019 and let us know he had a dream of being able to dress up and cosplay as Spider-Man (photo below).

(As somebody who used to dress up like Superman 4 days a week, I get it.)

Jimmy’s situation had some interesting wrinkles:

• He works a full-time job AND is studying to become an aerospace engineer.
• He was a self-described “picky eater” and wasn’t sure how to fix his diet.
• He had worked out in the past, but didn’t enjoy going to the gym.

To that, we said, “Well, Jimmy, let’s get to WORK.”

(cue the training montage and Spider-Man music!)

HOW JIMMY GOT IN SHAPE

Coach Justin from Team Nerd Fitness created a specific program for Jimmy called “Operation Holland.”

You know, like Tom Holland, the actor who plays Spider-Man.

Justin and Jimmy worked hand-in-hand (well, virtually anyway) through the Nerd Fitness app to build a program that fit Jimmy’s busy life.

12 months later…you be the judge.

I’d say “Operation Holland” was a success!

Here are the 4 BIG changes that helped Jimmy make the most progress:

#1) NUTRITION IS EVERYTHING: In his own words: “Really shows that fixing the diet is the most important thing. I’ve worked out a decent amount for months before but never got close to this.”⁣⁣⁠⠀

Coach Justin created a nutritional strategy for Jimmy that worked around his picky eating, which provided enough protein for muscle building, and helped him stay full while also losing fat. ⠀

#2) NO GYM REQUIRED: Jimmy trained in his home with just bodyweight exercises, some dumbbells, and gymnastic rings. ⁣⁠⠀

This style of training can build muscle, it just needs to be done with the right intention and intensity! For example, not just doing more push-ups, but switching to decline push-ups to make them harder.⁣⁠⠀

Jimmy started with push-ups and squats, but now he’s doing advanced gymnastic moves like the front lever!⁣⁠⠀

#3) PRIORITIZE YOURSELF: Jimmy has been with our program for a year now, and knew this transformation wouldn’t happen overnight.

He stayed the course, focused on his nutrition, and put in the time.⁣ It’s really easy to get sidetracked or give up when things get challenging, especially if life becomes hectic. I’m proud of Jimmy for choosing himself and sticking with it!

#4) CONSISTENCY AND ADHERENCE: We often OVERestimate what we can do in a day, and UNDERestimate what we can accomplish in a year.

You can do amazing things in a year…if you can STICK with it for the entire year!

A transformation like this requires focus to follow a plan, especially when bored or busy, and the discipline to get right back on track after a speed bump.⁠

Fortunately, Jimmy had confidence in his coach’s plan, and all he had to do was follow the path!

I’m really proud of what Jimmy accomplished in the NF Coaching Program, and I’d love to help you transform too.

WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 12 MONTHS?

Think back to where you were at the start of 2019:

Have you hit your goals and seen progress, or have you run into a few speed bumps?

Have you made considerable steps forward, or do you feel stuck in the mud?

If it’s the former, GREAT! Keep doing what you’re doing!

If it’s the latter, that’s OKAY too!

Life is tough. Sh** happens. And circumstances change!

Maybe you had a kid, or changed jobs, or adopted a puppy, and life got hectic.

Maybe you just had a crappy 2019 and couldn’t make any changes stick.

Now, I have another question for you: When you email me in 2021, how will you have changed?

More importantly, what are you going to do DIFFERENTLY to actually make results stick?

If I may be so bold, maybe you’ll come to the conclusion you don’t want to go on this weight-loss or muscle building journey alone.

(I’ve worked with an online coach for 5 years now).

You want a Yoda.

A real master who can show you the ways of the Force.

Luckily, we have a team of Jedi Masters who do this stuff all day, every day:

We have kick-ass Coaches that create nerdy-themed programs for our clients. For clients willing to put in the effort, we get amazing results.

We offer worldwide accountability and support. Our coaches provide insight beyond just “do this workout” or “eat broccoli.” You can get that for free on the internet. We provide insight, expert guidance, and have the experience of coaching thousands of busy clients to success.

We actually get results. We tailor each program to each client. Single moms, students, scientists, world-traveling doctors, we’ve worked with people from all walks of life. We go at the pace each client needs.

We save clients from themselves. We all have that voice in our head that tells us to give up, that things are too hard, that we should “hit pause until life gets unbusy.”

We ALSO all know that this “pause” strategy never works – because life doesn’t have a pause button.

But dang, the voice in our head is VERY persuasive.

Fortunately, this is what we do best: help clients essentially save themselves…from themselves.

IF you are ready to jump into battle with one of our Jedi Masters in your pocket (through the NF Coaching App, not literally)…

We’d love to hear about your journey, your struggles, and how we can help.

As they say, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is NOW!

If 2019 didn’t go the way you wanted it to, let us help you make 2020 different.

For the Rebellion!

PS: Seriously, Jimmy is awesome. Holy moly.

This post is a companion piece to the lazy keto article, which describes what lazy keto is and who might want to do it. The tl;dr (too long, didn’t read) version is that lazy keto is a simplified version of the keto diet where you only track carbs to make sure you’re under the limit to stay in ketosis. According to The Keto Reset Diet and Keto for Life, that would be about 50 grams total (gross) per day, with some wiggle room if most of your carbs are coming from non-starchy vegetables and avocados. Otherwise, you don’t micromanage your protein, fat, or total calorie intake.

Lazy Keto How-to

As I mentioned in the last post, lazy keto doesn’t necessarily mean that you keep your food simple. You can be a keto gourmet and only track carbs. That said, my experience is that many people who want to do lazy keto also want their diet to be relatively low fuss.

The easiest way to do lazy keto is… well, it’s to eat carnivore. But, assuming you want to eat veggies, it’s:

• Eggs and bacon/sausage/ham/steak for breakfast every morning (minimal carbs).
• Same basic Big-Ass Salad for lunch every day, varying the protein and dressing to keep it interesting.
• Hunk of meat and side of veggies for dinner. This requires a little bit of measuring, but if you’ve eaten, say, less than 20 grams of carbs so far, you have lots of room for error.

Obviously this is just one option. Some people only eat one or two meals per day, which makes it even easier to stay under their carb limit (but which doesn’t work for everyone). Some people prefer to load more carbs in the morning or time them around workouts. This is very much a “you-do-you” situation.

Five-Day Lazy Keto Meal Plan

Here’s one example of how you might do lazy keto. Thanks to using leftovers, it’s less work than it might seem on the surface.

A few things to note:

• This plan provides a basic framework. We expect that you’ll customize it and that you’ll eat however much protein, fat, and calories you need. For example, you might add more protein to your salads or double the portion size of a dish.
• This meal plan obviously won’t work for all dietary restrictions and food sensitivities. Likewise, if you need to keep your carbs below 20 or 30 grams for health reasons, this exact plan wouldn’t work perfectly for you. But, you can still use it for inspiration.
• Carb counts are an estimate. For packaged food items like sausage, adjust carb counts as needed based on the exact items you use.
• You’re responsible for calculating how many carbs you routinely consume in things like morning coffee, evening adult beverages, pre-workout drinks or snacks, and the like, and adjusting accordingly.
• We provided the Extras and Coconut & Dairy Products tables at the end to spare you from having to look up the macros in some common snacks and add-ons. It’s not meant to be an exhaustive list of everything you might add.

Lazy Keto Info

From a carb perspective (but not a calorie perspective, obviously), these foods are “free:”

• Butter, ghee, cooking oils (olive, avocado, coconut, lard, etc.), MCT oil
• Unprocessed meats
• Fish (fresh or canned)
• Collagen peptides, unflavored
• Primal Kitchen® Mayo (all flavors)
• Mustard

Some foods can have more carbs than you might think. That doesn’t mean you have to avoid these foods, but do check labels:

• Processed meats (e.g., beef jerkys)
• Some dairy products (e.g., Greek yogurt)
• Coconut products
• Mollusks
• Nuts and nut butters
• Condiments and spice blends with added sugar; probably do avoid these since there are better options with no sugar <<cough like Primal Kitchen products cough>>

FYI, here is a keto shopping list that you can use as a general guide. We also prepared a shopping list specifically for the meal plan below; save or print the Lazy Keto Meal Plan Shopping List.

Show Me the Lazy Keto Meal Plan

OK! This meal plan and the shopping list assume you are cooking for two people. All the carb totals are PER SERVING (i.e., for one person) unless otherwise specified. Save or print the Lazy Keto Meal Plan.

Day 1:

BREAKFAST: Bacon and eggs, optional bone broth latte

• One serving is 3 eggs prepared in the manner of your choosing + 3 pieces of bacon (2 grams of carbs)
• See the Recipes section below for how to make the bone broth latte (1 gram of carbs)

LUNCH: Collard Green Tuna Wraps + avocado

• Find the Collard Green Tuna Wraps recipe here (makes 2 servings). Substitute ¼ cup broccoli slaw for the carrots and radish in the recipe.
• There are 8.3 grams of carbs total, 4 grams net, in the whole recipe with the broccoli slaw, or about 4 grams of carbs per serving.
• Slice the remaining avocado and serve it on the side, or save it for dinner (4.5 grams of carbs, 1 gram net, per serving).

DINNER: Chicken Fajita Cauliflower Rice Bowls

1 bowl = 1 cup (85 g) of cauliflower rice, 4 ounces (115 g) of chicken, and ¼ of the Tex-Mex Fajita Veggies recipe below.

• Cauliflower rice: 4 grams of carbs per cup (2 grams net). Prepare according to directions.
• Suggested chicken recipe: Whole30 Instant Pot Ranch Chicken (2 grams of carbs per 4-ounce serving). Prepare 1 pound of chicken and refrigerate half for tomorrow’s lunch. Or, just use any grilled or baked chicken, or rotisserie chicken to save time.
• Tex-Mex Fajita Veggies: Find the recipe here (makes 4 servings). Substitute avocado oil if you don’t have Primal Kitchen Italian Dressing. Each serving has 9 grams of carbs (7.5 grams net). Using the dressing adds <1 gram of carbs per serving.
• NOTE: Portion out and refrigerate half the Tex-Mex Fajita Veggies for tomorrow’s breakfast.

TOTAL CARBS (per person)

• Breakfast = 3 grams
• Lunch (½ of collard recipe + ½ of remaining avocado) = 8.5 grams
• Dinner = approximately 13–15 grams, depending on chicken
• TOTAL = 25–27 grams

Comments and suggestions: That’s so much leeway with your carbs! You could add salsa (~1 gram of carbs per tablespoon), shredded cheese, even more avocado, and sour cream to your fajita bowl and still have room for a couple extra eggs at breakfast and some berries with your lunch.

Day 2:

BREAKFAST: Leftover veggie scramble

• For two servings, scramble 6 eggs in butter or ghee with the leftover fajita veggies. This is 11 grams of carbs per serving.
• Optionally add 4 slices of chopped cooked bacon and ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese. This adds <1 gram of carbs.

LUNCH: Big-ass salad with leftover chicken

• Basic Big-Ass Salad (see recipe below; 14 grams of carbs total, 8 grams net)
• Leftover chicken (0–2 grams of carbs for 4 ounces, 115 g)
• Suggested dressing: Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing (2 grams of carbs per 2 tablespoons)

DINNER: Slow-baked salmon, frozen green beans

• For slow-baked salmon, see recipe below (0 grams carbs)
• 1 cup (about 140 g) of frozen green beans per serving, thawed and sautéed in butter = 9 grams of carbs (5 grams net)
• NOTE: Refrigerate half the salmon to use for lunch tomorrow.

TOTAL CARBS

• Breakfast = 11 grams
• Lunch = approximately 16–18 grams
• Dinner = 9 grams
• TOTAL = about 36–38 grams

Comments and suggestions: Optionally add slivered almonds (1.5 grams of carbs per tablespoon) and garlic (1 gram of carbs per clove) to the green beans. Serve the salmon over a bed of baby spinach (1 gram of carbs per cup) with Primal Kitchen Lemon Turmeric Vinaigrette and Marinade (2 grams of carbs per 2 tablespoons).

NOTE: Make chia pudding tonight for breakfast tomorrow (recipe below). Optionally, make the leftover salmon into the salmon spread for tomorrow’s lunch if you want to pack it in the morning.

Day 3:

BREAKFAST: Chocolate pecan chia pudding

• See recipe below. Each serving has 10 grams of carbs (5.5 grams net).

LUNCH: Avocado stuffed with Primal Salmon Spread

• Find the Primal Salmon Spread recipe here. Follow the linked recipe, skipping the first step where you cook the salmon, because you will use the leftover salmon from last night instead. Half the recipe contains 1.5 grams of carbs (1 gram net).
• Instead of serving with nori chips, place each serving atop ½ avocado (6 grams of carbs, 2.5 grams net).

SNACK (optional, or eat with lunch): Veggies with ranch

Per serving:

• 1 small carrot, cut into sticks (5 grams carb, 3.5 grams net)
• 1 medium stalk celery, cut into sticks (1 gram carb, 0.5 grams net)
• ½ small cucumber, sliced (3 grams carbs, 2 grams net)
• 2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing (2 grams carbs)

DINNER: Hamburgers with side of broccoli

• NOTE: The shopping list calls for 1 pound of ground beef. You need 6 ounces for tomorrow’s lunch. Use the remaining 10 ounces to make two 5-ounce hamburger patties for tonight’s dinner. Each hamburger has 0 grams of carbs.
• Suggested toppings (per burger): 2 large lettuce leaves (2 grams of carbs) + 2 thick slices tomato (2 grams of carbs) + Primal Kitchen Mayo (flavor of your choice; 0 grams of carbs)
• Prepare broccoli according to preference, either steamed, roasted, or sautéed. One cup (85 g) of broccoli florets contains 7 grams of carbs (4 grams net)

TOTAL CARBS

• Breakfast = 10 grams
• Lunch = 7.5 grams
• Optional snack = 11 grams
• Dinner (hamburger with suggested toppings + 1 cup broccoli) = 11 grams
• TOTAL = about 28.5 grams without snack, 39.5 with snack

Comments and suggestions: Allot some of those extra carbs to raspberries on your chia pudding. Add cheese, bacon, and/or a fried egg to your burger.

NOTE: To save yourself time tomorrow, brown and crumble the remaining 6 ounces of ground beef for tomorrow’s lunch. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Day 4:

BREAKFAST: Broccoli slaw, zucchini, sausage sauté

• Brown sliced chicken or pork sausage in fat of choice (carbs depend on brand of sausage). Add 1¾ cup broccoli slaw and 1 medium zucchini, sliced or diced (together they have 6.5 grams of carbs, 3 grams net, per serving). Sauté until veggies are just soft.

LUNCH: Cheeseburger salad

• Start with the Basic Big-Ass Salad (see recipe below; 14 grams of carbs total, 8 grams net), or follow this recipe for Keto Cheeseburger Salad.
• Per salad, add 3 ounces cooked ground beef, warm (about 2/3 cup; 0 grams carbs) + shredded cheddar cheese (negligible carbs) + ¼ cup sliced dill pickles (1 gram carbs, 0.5 grams net)
• Suggested dressing: Primal Kitchen Thousand Island Dressing (2 grams of carbs per 2 tablespoons), but Ranch is also great.

DINNER: Steak + grilled asparagus

NOTE: You will make enough steak and asparagus for leftovers for tomorrow. Set aside 4–6 ounces of cooked steak per salad (tomorrow’s lunch). Divide the cooked asparagus in half and set aside one portion for tomorrow’s breakfast.

• Prepare steak according to your preference. See how Mark prepares his steaks here.
• Prepare asparagus according to your preference. If you have Primal Kitchen Lemon Turmeric Dressing and Marinade on hand, check out this recipe for Lemony Asparagus—yum! Otherwise, asparagus is great simply tossed in avocado oil, salted, and thrown on the grill with the steak (don’t overcook it). Alternately, sauté, blanche, or broil.
• Per 4-ounce (113 g) serving, asparagus has about 4.5 grams of carbs (2.5 grams net).

TOTAL CARBS

• Breakfast = 6.5 grams + carbs from sausage, if any
• Lunch = 17 grams
• Dinner = 4.5 grams
• TOTAL = 28 grams + carbs from sausage, if any

Comments and suggestions: Perhaps you’d enjoy mashed cauliflower at dinner (this mashed cauliflower recipe has about 7 grams of carbs per serving), and some crumbled blue cheese on your steak?

Day 5:

BREAKFAST: Asparagus with poached eggs and bacon

• Warm the leftover asparagus from last night’s dinner. Divide between two plates and top each with two poached eggs (1 gram of carbs per serving) and a side of bacon.
• Don’t know how to poach? Make fried or scrambled eggs instead.

LUNCH: Steak big-ass salad

• Start with Basic Big-Ass Salad (see recipe below; 14 grams of carbs total, 8 grams net), and add leftover steak.
• Optionally, add ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (1 gram of carbs).
• Suggested dressing: Primal Kitchen BBQ Ranch Dressing (2 grams of carbs per 2 tablespoons) or Balsamic Vinaigrette and Marinade (3 grams of carbs per 2 tablespoons).

DINNER: Zoodles with turkey meat sauce

• Brown ground turkey. Add 2 cups of tomato sauce and let simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Add zoodles and cook about 3 minutes until just warmed through. Optionally top with shredded parmesan cheese.
• One serving = ¼ of recipe (11 grams of carbs, 9 grams net)

TOTAL CARBS

• Breakfast = 6.5 grams
• Lunch = 17–18 grams
• Dinner = 11 grams
• TOTAL = 34.5–35.5 grams

Comments and suggestions: If you’re not sick of salad, serve zoodles with a side spinach salad.
