I am unable to take supplements. Even if I find them a good idea (rare) and try, it just doesn’t happen. But I am all for making my diet good enough! I still don’t look up a normal day nowadays on Chronometer but I will one day. I don’t even know what a normal day is, my meat intake is all over the place. But usually very low. The mutton stew was great but little. 16 days until we can go to get my biggest ruminant meat order ever (it’s the third time), I have some chicken liver, some smoked pork chuck (sooo yesterday since I tasted ham but it’s still meat. I need to think about new recipes as it’s too salty alone and I don’t want to eat it with scrambled eggs), a tiiiny bit of ham and a tiny bit of fish until then. I go to the city next week so I get more ham. Maybe eggs too, I start to run out of them again. We have cheese but it never will be a staple, not even temporarily. I hope it’s the last such time, I don’t eat my old non-egg food items or just a tiny bit, I need meat. And it’s my most exciting food so it needs to help my eggs for multiple reasons, nutrition and variety/fun/whatever makes me not getting tired of eggs.
Maybe I will be stricter when I will get my beef (and try out carnivore with significant meat consumption for several days, I never had that. I doubt I need it but I am always curious about such things. of course it won’t be much meat but I won’t be super careful with my allowance) but my new default is eating whatever I want and have, no limits (well, except the ones I can’t defy). I changed so I continue my least carby period ever, I am just free. It works very well this far, my body behaves exactly the same as on my second carnivore trial. I feel okay, hunger and appetite is mostly in the past and I get satiated extremely quickly so I usually have a few smaller meals or a bigger and a tiny, very rarely it’s OMAD but that’s rare. No desire towards vegetables, most sweets and usually anything else edible. I eat mostly because I have to or because I am curious how a new food turned out. I hope it changes a bit soon, it’s abnormal especially for a hedonist. Of course my food is enjoyable but still.
But I am quite pleased with the changes in the last months. When I eat more plants or more carbs (lactose. it never really much but normally I stay extremely close to zero), those days serve as experiments. It seems that if I stay close to carnivore or extreme low-carb (I never noticed it matters if I eat plants if they contain very little carbs) or if I don’t but it’s for a single day, things don’t change. I had the same on low-carb, I could break my personal carb limit for a day without problem but only if I didn’t go too far and it was one day, not several. Now I have the same, with a much smaller carb limit (and “problem” means something totally different. I don’t get unwell if I still stay below my old limit, I just get hungrier and gets random desires). I didn’t find problematic items this far and I actually tried some totally not keto-friendly food as well (strict times quite naturally cause that later, my rebellious self still has some strength but not really much). I didn’t try a significant amount of vegetables as I just don’t want them at all. So no idea what would happen then. Or if I ate 50g peanuts. I won’t try that for the sake of experiment, I am quite happy I got rid of that addiction right away when I had my carnivore trial (and run out of peanuts, we still didn’t buy any tasty ones so no idea if I can get tempted in some circumstances. It’s super easy to feel no desire when I don’t have the item, only very strong, real addictions work differently. It was the “I eat it if I have it and get tempted” type).
I wouldn’t be here without this topic now, that’s sure.
My weight is always 11 stone but I’m obviously losing fat, it just can’t be shown this quickly.
I got carried away, sorry. I totally use this topic for thinking and analyzing things sometimes. I do it anyway but writing often help, I realize more things. Probably due to spending more time on it.
But it will be less exciting from now on, I expect stability and only small changes. So I won’t think about these things so much.
