I will make my first topic soon I think. Some grammar and word in English and my problems regarding that. Sometimes I have a great Hungarian word for a food and I don’t have it in English
We cut the world into different pieces, even animals. But maybe I just write here some of my thought.
It seems bacon is a processed stuff and I have no idea exactly what part is used for that, my knowledge about meat is minimal, it’s not language related at all but I’m learning. We have a different but slightly similar word for pork part with skin and some fat and potentially meat too. It’s called that even when raw and fresh. It’s quite popular and my anchestors ate it galore, especially the meatless version. I prefer seeing a similar amount of meat but the fat is quite delicious too.
And I just can’t say the proper word
It’s even trickier now as I bought something that has that Hungarian word in its name but it’s not quite that. But skin, a significant fat part, meat, structurally it’s the same.
I ate bacon once. I was super curious (one can hear “bacon” on keto forums for that long… it took years and I wasn’t even a vegetarian anymore but finally my curiosity won) and bought some, I had no other options just meat from a shop, something I never do.
It was bad, bland, almost completely flavorless. Yep, not proper home-raised meat (how I include good farms as well I wonder. people raises pigs living in their own little houses and some people do it for a living on a bigger farm but they still use similar methods I imagine. whatever they do, both tend to be great tasting. not always, one still can do it wrong, obviously), it almost never works unless it’s a fish.
A fried cauliflower leaf is WAY tastier.
But the smoked how-I-could-call-it I bought from the same man whose smoked pork chuck was awesome… That’s good. I prefer the chuck, though. And I have regrets I didn’t buy lard. It’s almost painful to fry my precious eggs on tasteless coconut oil (for the same price as lard). Next time I will use the… well, you know, not-bacon thing but it’s so small, I can’t use it all the time, I have no idea when we can buy some more again.
The next paragraph would be not carnivore related at all but there IS a connection in my case.
I ate plants today but I am pleased, I ate simple (this far). My days with coffee with HWC and sweetener (very, very rarely) are over. I dislike erythritol again, just like in the very beginning. I guess it works in some complicated recipe but not when I feel it too well. It’s the same with chocolate, I seriously dislike it sweetened now. When I started to eat/drink unsweetened coffee, hot cocoa and chocolate, I still preferred the sweetened one. I am sure simply not using sweetener and sweets wouldn’t be so effective but consuming unsweetened sweets (coffee with cream and chocolate are sweets to me even if they aren’t sweet) very, very quickly change me. Yay.
I like not eating sweeteners (they aren’t harmful IMO, just not real food and it seems wrong to eat sweets every day. even if I don’t need them, they are useful sometimes. try to eat mostly eggs without tricks. it’s fine when I have some, not too little meat too, at least for now), I just don’t force myself and it refused to happen naturally.
I wondered about sweets vs my future carnivore trial (I do my best to do it for a single day tomorrow, I even have plans to skip coconut oil and it’s not easy considering I have no animal fat, only packed with other things except the highly expensive butter)… Right now I think I won’t eat sweets despite I always eat them, 2 days without them is unima… No, it’s imaginable, my imagination is way better than that, it just never happens. I probably won’t need them but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to try it just for fun. But no sweetener, no chocolate and if I am strict, not even heavy cream… I still will try though, frozen whipped egg yolks must be nice but I am not sure I can consider it sweets (how is it said correctly? sweets seems plural but I want it singular… One of sweets? I wanted to ask this in my future topic too) but I will have temptation to add some flavor at least. My keto ice cream is mostly egg yolks but there are very important plant ingredients (two of them are fruits, they aren’t really recognizable due to the ridiculous amounts but still make a huge difference).
So, it sounds waaaaay simpler to forget about sweets in general, who needs that when nicely full? Even though I like challenges and trying things even if I won’t consume those often.
whatever, we will see, I am not worried. If I manage to buy lard and smoked something, I am not quite sure 4 kg/8.8lbs meat is so plenty for a carnivore trial (I plan one week but we will see) considering it includes bones and is for two. My SO tends to eat meat super slowly so I can eat most of this and I have eggs but still, being careful with amounts makes it harder and I am super brave to try it to begin with. I still can’t understand myself, I really always thought it’s something I can’t ever try.
But I thought I am super incompatible with keto too and it turned out it’s ideal for my body, my other parts had to change a bit first.
Now I feel keto is so very free and allows, like, everything… Not exactly but what it doesn’t allow (for me, others may include it on their keto. I am great with ridiculous amounts but not in every case), it’s not good for me anyway. Maybe I enjoy it but surely will feel a bit bad afterwards. It doesn’t mean I will do keto for long, I surely will pop out and in as usual. I think. At least for a while. Oh surely, I have a wonderful fruit garden or is it no problem? Maybe it isn’t, for keto, I mean, it doesn’t mix with carnivore but I don’t want carnivore, I just try it out and I am quite open without rigid plans, my body knows better what is good for it (not like I always live according to its wishes, of course but if my body hates something, it retaliates and I am a hedonist and dislike being incomfortable).
Maybe I really need an own topic. But it’s nice here and I’m afraid I would be way too free in my own topic and I would end up writing too much. And I’m lazy to make a topic anyway, I almost never do that on any forums so that takes some extra effort.
