18/03/18 - Day 1

Today I start pure Carnivore.

Starting Weight : 70.5kg (Oops, sorry to myself for carbloading with all the things over the weekend, gotta start somewhere right? :joy:)

Lunch - 350g of Ground Beef w/ 3 Chicken Wings
Ground Beef was over peppered and boring as shit, don’t know if I’ll be doing that again.

Dinner - 125g steak w/ 3 chicken wings

Exercise - a round of 5x5;

5 x 30kg squats x 5
5 x 20kg bench press x 5
5 x 20kg barbell rows x 5
5 x 5kg left arm bicep curls x 5
5 x 5kg right arm bicep curls x 5
5 x 5kg tricep extensions x 5

My workout was cut short because a work mate decided he wanted the gym for himself, and I’m just too nice :roll_eyes:

Anyways, feeling pretty good so far
Have only had 1 coffee today as opposed to 6 but no headache yet.
My side mission is to stop smoking as much and use my vape more, today I’ve only had 1 (I’m broke) so I guess that was easier than I had planned :joy:

Will re-update later with my dinner choice.

I was drinking 4 sometimes 6 cups of coffee a day before going Carnivore, and it helped me get down to one cup in the morning and that’s all my coffee for a day! I don’t even bother with decaf. I don’t believe I went through withdrawal, or if I did it was hardly noticeable.

If I sometimes get the urge for a hot drink, I just drink hot water in it’s place and that seems to do the job for me. If I do break and drink coffee like after lunch I used to suffer from major heart palpitations, always late in the evening when I was trying to sleep - this a motivator to give it up for good. I hope that helps if your goal is to get off coffee.

I ended up only having the one coffee yesterday, an iced latte from mcdonalds on almond milk, a small one though so only 250ml combined with a double shot coffee.
It’s helping me transition but I will try not to have it every day, more so weaning. I feel fine not having any more coffee yesterday though, it’s easier than I thought it would be. Slight niggling headache but bearable.

Loss of: 1.6kg

Lunch - 125g rib eye steak w/ 4 chicken wings & 2 poached eggs

15 x 5kg bicep curls left arm x 3

Feeling pretty good today.
Have stuck to my 1 coffee a day rule, minimal headache.

I’m thinking I could use a break from bulking myself just to see where I’m actually at. I see chicken breasts & broccoli in my future :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

God at least make them chicken thighs! Breast is terrible, lol. Why so unkind to yourself Saf?!
Feel a lot better after that workout, I wasn’t feeling any pain with those shorter and heavier sets. I do miss Broccoli though, smothered in garlic butter, oh yes.

:joy::joy: I’m that rare person who actually likes chicken breast. Hammer it flat, bit of oil/spice then in a hot oven for 15-20 mins and you’re done! I’m so over cooking & menu planning - will be nice not to think about it.

:+1::+1::+1:

I’m with you there, hence carnivore.
I can already notice myself not thinking about food as much!
