Restless legs, Butter Tea
Experience and a recipe
Life has been catching up with me again. Have been busy at work, which has cut back posting. Have gone back to working on a Submission to the Bondi Royal Commission (the Royal Commission on Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion).
It was also my birthday, so friends took me out for drinks. Four glasses of an excellent Otago Champagne and a snifter of an excellent whiskey (Port Charlotte) followed by a meal at an African (Ethiopian specifically) restaurant and a couple of stubbies of an Ethiopian beer I am very fond of. This is WAY more alcohol than I normally drink. I also indulged in a couple of blocks of chocolate (Mint and Rum&Raisin) which is way more sugar than I normally consume. But, well, birthday.
That night, I had restless legs for the first time in years. I used to suffer, but since shifting to an essentially ketovore eating pattern, it had gone away. Restless legs is another example of an essentially metabolic condition that can be treated by changing one’s eating patterns.
Folk are probably aware of bulletproof coffee. It is an adaption for American tastes of Tibetan butter tea. Proper Tibetan butter tea is quite an exercise to make. But it is possible to make a tasty butter tea relatively simply that suppresses hunger pangs with a minimal insulin spike.
