I will probably severely limit dairy again. I am very sensitive to it, so it seems. I am not sure whether I will eat plants or not after. I try to minimize those too, however I do have food addiction issues, so sometimes I make mistakes. I will likely continue to strive to not eat as many, for sure.

Surprised at the inches lost very much so. No complaints here on that front :stuck_out_tongue:

so just got done with my lunch hour… decided to go balls to the walls with steak… between a ribeye & a NY strip I had 15oz steak & 3 pieces of pork belly… that’s a lot of meat… now, I have my strength class tonight and I’m usually hungry after… fingers crossed I’m not :slight_smile: I will say, I’m lovin’ the Ribeyes tho!!!

So, this is where the Zorn steak challenge continues?? I am glued to this, so I have to bookmark so I don’t lose the conversation. :smile:

A new place called BlackRock just opened near me. You basically cook the meat yourself on a lava rock, so you chose when it’s done.

Strange though, I usually go to places so I don’t have to cook. :wink:

Just wait, one day they will make you wash the dishes

I switched my steak challenge here because my original topic has too many replies and takes forever to load even with 32 gigs of ram and fast internet :stuck_out_tongue:

I had one sirloin tip steak and will have a second later. Cooked in tallow that came with the sirloin - the butcher packed it with the steaks for me. Tomorrow is a ribeye and perhaps a chuck steak (not roast).

Not weighing again until Friday. Inflammation seems low, and swelling is non-existent.

And hey, if you’re interested, Brenda’s journaling all her foods with weights here:

Day 8 - I think tonight, @Brenda will be very pissed off with me and petition to kick me off the island. I ate beef carpaccio…yeah, that’s right. Not ZC. Fuck it. I wanted beef carpaccio, I ate beef carpaccio. But, more importantly, this month long beef thing has pulled me away from photo documenting keto recipes, which I LOVE to do. I was going to eat a ZC version of carpaccio…but then I just said fuck it, I’m goin all in!!!

I also ate leftovers from yesterday (about 1/3 of the heart and chuck steak I fried yesterday).

Actually…the beef testing month will continue. I’ve been gaining weight, every day, sticking to just eating beef. And I know its real weight…like my pants are tighter, and arms feel ā€œpoofierā€.

I’ve seen this before in a previous month long ZC test, with other proteins. I’d lose weight when I switch protein, but then start gaining again. Like this graph:

I don’t take any nutritional supplements. No pills, no powders, nothing…just food. That’s it. If I don’t get nutrition from the certain food I’m eating, tough.

So, what I’m going to do going forward is test what will happen when I add complimentary nutrition, to the beef, that the beef may not give me in sufficient quantity. I want to see if my weight will go up or down after adding supplementation.

For example, what happens when I take vitamin pills? I’d like to see that.

NEW CHALLENGE
SHE’S STARTING A NEW CHALLENGE

CALL THE 3O DAY STEAK CHALLENGE POLICE


#25

Holy cow that’s funny.


(8 year Ketogenic Veteran) #26

Holy ā€œcowā€.
I see what you did there.
O_O


#27

Hay, I know…my humour is offal.


(8 year Ketogenic Veteran) #28

But seriously. This is a 30 day steak only challenge. And coffee. No spices, no other foods.
You could start your own ā€œFiorella what I need to add to beef to feel ok for 30 daysā€ challenge in a new thread (topic).
Less confusing for followers of the beef steak only deal.


(Cathie Condon) #29

Laugh of the day - this report issued today with red meat the #10 ā€œbad for youā€ list: https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/bacon-soda-too-few-nuts-tied-big-portion-170115771.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&uh_test=1_16

The list makers can take their list and shove it up their collective arses.
I AM HEALTHY AS FUCK


(Bob Weiman) #31

So after a week I’m down at the bottom of my stable range instead of the top end where I had been for a few weeks prior to the start. So about 8 lbs lower. And on the verge of being lighter than I’ve been since 2011.

Also craving heavier exercise like pull-ups, etc.


#32

A little late, but I’m trying to start the challenge today. I just ate almost a pound of steak for brunch.


(AnnaLeeThal) #33

I’m starting this as soon as possible. I’m so mad that I got sick the day I was going to start. I think I’ll throw a ribeye in the sous vide tonight so it’s ready to eat tomorrow. Hoping my insides will tolerate some solids by then.

@Brenda I have been loving all your Steak pics! I wouldn’t have thought to get beef shank!
