Day 9 - another fred Flintstone T-bone steak fried in beef tallow plus vitamin supplements
The steak:
Vitamin supplements - this past week I have been growing more and more hungry. But, not a normal hunger. I wouldn’t be able to put another bite of steak in my mouth…it was nauseating. And at the same time, I craved specific foods like lemon and smoked salmon. At the same time, I have been gaining weight, everyday, since I started eating beef. WTF!!! I’m very pissed off about this actually. I would like to test if the weight gain, voracious hunger and cravings for specific foods is associated to the nutrient-deprived beef-only eating. In my previous ZC month long test, I would typically lose weight when switching protein source. Perhaps this has something to do with tapping into more or another set of missing nutrients when I did the switch? I dunno. So far, it’s a mystery. But, now I have a chance to test that hypothesis. So, starting today…I am adding vitamin and mineral supplements, and will see what will happen. This is very new to me. I RARELY take any supplements. The last time i took vitamins was twice a week, taking multivitamin, during my 33 day extended fast. Other than that, I depend on only food for nutrition. I just took a stab in the dark and decided to add Omega 3 oil and Vitamin D (since I was craving fish) and a multivitamin (to get vitamin C and other stuff, since I craved lemon). I’m also adding magnesium and iodide. Here’s the cocktail:
It will be interesting to see what the effect of adding supplements will do with the beef only test. Better yet, I hope I get rid of the terrible bouts of hunger and cravings, and hopefully see my weight go back down.
