There are a few things you should remember when drinking alcohol while in ketosis: 1  Ketogenic dieters experience notoriously bad hangovers. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water in between drinks.  While drinking liquor won't ruin your diet, all things in moderation.
Oven-Braised Pork Belly. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Find the fattiest side of the pork belly and, using a sharp knife, make shallow, 1/4-inch, crisscrossing cuts. Season the pork belly if you wish, by sprinkling it with a few pinches of salt and pepper. Place the pork belly in a roasting pan. Surround the pork belly with vegetables, such as sliced onions, celery, carrots or potatoes, if you wish. Add 1/2 cup of cooking liquid, such as chicken or vegetable stock to the pan. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil, sealing it tightly. Bake the pork belly for approximately 3 to 3 1/2 hours for a 1 3/4 pound cut, or until fork-tender. Remove the pork belly from the oven and let rest for approximately 15 minutes on a cool surface. Heat a skillet over medium-low. Add the pork belly to the heated pan and cook it for 8 to 10 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
The pork belly must simmer in the water rather than boil. This will aid in tenderizing the meat gently rather than cooking it too quickly. I used this recipe: http://www.loudstellar.com/2014/06/chinese-style-crispy-pork-belly/ as a guideline.
