We have found our poor pine (the one that has too many other trees around it so it has a weird shape, barely getting sunshine. We got it with the property, very bad positioning… the blood hazelnut didn’t help though but we had no idea how big that becomes in no time…) half barren, covered with caterpillars! We took them off and brought them to the hens nearby and visited the small goat kid too, it’s a very pretty and a bit shy one.
Then I researched. It turned out they aren’t real caterpillars but pine wasp larvae. Wow. So that is a thing.
My day was nothing like my previous ones. I was a bit hungry at lunchtime so I ate a simple meal, this and more (another egg, more pork, not more ham):
I had creamy coffees and very little Greek yogurt too. And I was satiated at dinnertime so merely drank some more coffees (and took a painkiller as coffee didn’t help with my headache. neither did the stupid pill).
It’s 11pm now and I am still perfectly satiated… Yay! I had my minimum protein and about half as much fat. So it’s a quite low-cal day. It is so great not to be hungry after eating a lot anymore. The leanish pork wasn’t the best food I ever had but I easily ate more than a pound of it at once Oh I ate a bite of fish too, with the yucky sauce, I won’t buy that again, I may love smoked mackerel but if it’s tinned fish, it doesn’t matter if it’s mackerel or herring and the latter type has way more options and we actually love some flavors. We eat it once per month at most, one tin for both of us and Alvaro gets the bigger part especially from the sauce (I did my best to leave my little fish with the least possible amount).
I can use mirelit fish so no sauce (Alvaro’s pizza has the pizza sauce anyway) but I still like the convenient tinned fish for emergencies. And maybe his pizza as the Asian flavored one is beloved by him (I like that too but I can live without it just fine while he doesn’t care about some extra sugar, it’s not so much and he is a high-carber anyway).
Cold days continue, we give up and start heating tomorrow… There will be rain too, forecast says. For days.
Indeed but there was carnivore-ish mentioned And my carnivore-ish has a lot to do with carnivore anyway while it has little to do with keto except it is keto just like carnivore is keto.
I don’t really see the difference. When one considers carnivore, it may be quite important to know what carbs one can handle and how much and one may not know what would work, we even change. Even on carnivore there are plenty of different carbs (or at least a few) but one may consider carnivore, maybe even the stricter versions but it turns out adding some carbs is better and it may or may not stay carnivore. When it’s figuring out, it’s even totally relevant to carnivore. When one adds plant stuff and not just the tolerated ones and decides on them, that may be different though I personally (and I am biased, sure :D) consider carnivore-ish still close enough. Definitely way closer to carni than normal keto. Most carnivores eat plant matter, a wee bit more doesn’t seem a big deal to me. Especially when it adds almost zero carb while carnivore items easily add a ton and even condiments and spices may add more and that’s already plant matter.
I am not sure I was clear, forget it if I wasn’t.
It was so much simpler to be a vegetarian, that was clear except the cheese thing And I didn’t care about that so I probably wasn’t a vegetarian but almost. Better than many. Carnivore is way more allowing (coffee, spices, even some condiments etc.) or else it would be too strict for too many who are close enough otherwise. Makes sense, the vegetarian diet allows almost every edible items, after all. Just a few animal food groups are out, that actually may bother many people It didn’t bother me much until I figured out keto isn’t enough. Now a meatless day isn’t a very tiny challenge (I could do it but why would I? except if it’s a fast day but I had none since I tried out carnivore. my only meatless carnivore day didn’t end well but at least I got experience about it maybe I will try it again, I have better chances now. but it makes little sense and it wouldn’t be so great so my motivation is around zero).
It is to me. I do except some level of tidiness. I enjoy some level of order. I plan to do that… So I disappoint myself. But let’s not talk about it again and as I thought and wrote about it, I finally WILL tidy it up real soon. It always will have a bit too much paper everywhere but there are different levels of mess… The current one is a bit too high to my liking. It could be much worse but much better too.
{It got too long again. I just plan to pop in as I have a photo and report about my great day food wise and things get out of hand. But I will try harder.}
