I wrote the bigger part yesterday but I didn’t send it for some reason.
Ham, eggs, chicken soup for today. I had one of those very rare special days when I ate in the morning (before 10am). Nice, let’s experiment what happens in this situation. Almost obviously many small meals and not doing IF (having an early last meal isn’t my thing) but while overeating is pretty much guaranteed on any other woe I am willing to try if I eat before early afternoon, carnivore is different. It’s nice I can do this but I prefer having my 2 meals, more convenient.
Sunny, colder day. We did our walk. The forest was full with people and even more full with flowers.
This is the part of the spring when there are zillions of them everywhere in the forest.
Weightlifting is postponed again. I lacked sleep a bit and I forgot, not like I had the energy and mood, I am useless without proper sleep. Going to bed early is a skill I never mastered (i.e. I mess it up every day - usually the consequences aren’t severe though - and sometimes massively. I am truly horrible at a few things, this is one of them).
I plan egg pudding tomorrow. I don’t think I want to even think about boiled eggs in the near future but I still have sponge cakes. The ham is pitifully little now, it’s time for the sausage to shine a bit too. And I have leftover turkey soup and even a little liver. And there will be beef stew too, made over open fire (we have a ton of dried blackberry stems(?) and many other things to burn. huge amounts of tree trunks too, this small garden produces a surprisingly big amount but they are tidy).
No problems with food variety in sight then but I must say I think about dairy now and then. They aren’t needed, I am totally fine but I won’t last for very long. I knew that. I don’t want to eat dairy free, I just want them in moderation, I mean, a tiny bit when needed on some days. 20g cheese here, 30g sour cream there… Not obligate items for most meal as before.
My coffee contained a wee bit of butter and 1g milk powder anyway (it’s better than 250ml cream… If I open the bag, it will disappear, Alvaro can help only with a bit) but it’s acceptable for me if I feel the need. I wanted the coffee but black was eww. Yeah, I shouldn’t drink it then but, well.
I have this coffee -> cream -> dessert -> sweets —> carbs evolution, one easily triggers the next except the last step, that is more avoidable (though as time passes on carnivore, my chances gets worse. practice probably helps but it’s unknown for me at this point) but still, it would be safest if I didn’t drink coffee often. Even if it’s pretty much harmless and I like it. And still didn’t stop drinking it yet (and my current one isn’t even so nice!) but it wasn’t my first drink in the morning, it’s something
(It was the second, 2 minutes after my tea.) Whatever, I shouldn’t pressure myself too much. I do the food part pretty well but that’s way, way easier. I eat whatever I want now, no effort, really. I have thoughts but no real pull yet.
He has more history with much meat than me, actually… And he usually follows me until it works for him. He probably always will be a high-carber as he overeats and gets unwell on low-fat in no time (one meal unless it’s some baked stuff… odd) but we did lots of other changes together (like not eating gluten, sugar, being vegetarians, eating meat every day…). He came from a family with lots of meat eating while I come from one with little. So my last 1.5 years was very strange as I never ever ate nearly this much meat and definitely not this often in my life (and I didn’t eat much during this time, maybe compared to the average person but my average amount is tiny for carnivore but just right for me now).
Mmmm, Nature, that’s nice. I rarely do enviros, I should learn that but I find things with more rules easier. So it’s humans and animals, mostly, especially portraits. But I rarely draw, I just find it important and it is supposed be my main hobby. I spent insane amounts with practice and learning anatomy and I am still bad. And I stop before I take apart my failings, my inner critic is very good and not very used since years as I had enough problems without that.
I should draw a lot again. Rocks too. I collected so many great rocks for that.

Next day, great weather, cold morning but then warm! Not too warm so it’s nice enough for Alvaro to cook the big beef stew outside. Windy so he wondered about it but it’s not so bad. It’s a windy area.
Yay again, Vic! Nice food, I start to get hungry… I ate from 10am to 9pm yesterday, surely not little, I thought maybe I will be satiated for long… Nope. It’s not even noon but I am good if I can wait until the beef is ready. And now this photo doesn’t help things…
It doesn’t make the meat any prettier if you ask me, though… A cute garden cress (one, a few weeks old at most) next to the meat is better. As much as little green pieces spice up a light colored dish, they just looks out of place on a steak. And I mean it as a designer (I am not a real one, I just did some design jobs in my life, tiny ones like banner and logo but I have a good aesthetic sense I think. it’s not always apparent for various reasons but I do have it), not a temporal carnivore who lost interest in most veggies and wouldn’t touch most greens even before.
I can’t be enough concise I see. Whatever. A steak doesn’t need green pieces on it. Those are way better than sugar though.
My ham had sugar
Of course, store-bought thing and not some fresh meat, it’s hard to avoid.
I have serious problems with added sugar in my food especially when it’s unneeded (now) or disturbing (pickles. fortunately no one ever tried to put any sugar on my meat before, it’s not a Hungarian thing).
But I tolerate it now and then when I just can’t avoid it. It still bothers me a little bit and I do my best to avoid it in the future. And I try to it little from those stuff. But this ham was tasty and my first big amount of ham since forever
(I probably never ate THIS much ham before.)
