Broth / Concentrate / Collagen / Etc - what's the deal?


(Alex ) #41

that’s me right there! in the colder months I just want a tasty hot drink to fit between meals or compensate as a meal, and stay on point with the nutrition.

Fire & Kettle I think is mostly a ready-to-pour variant… it’s definitely avail on Amazon here, I’ve bought some which are powder variant, two teaspoons into a cup with hot water style…

I’ll see how I go with it, the stuff is very expensive so it might be a one off.

Ahhh that is you then right now. You want that hot sippy drink :wink:
hey it is good to know you and what you NEED to make this a good lifestyle fit. You are smart to make this plan work for you at all times.

Now…word of caution, don’t use this as a replacement meal as in all the time ya know. ZC is food. Dense, real, fresh, chunky, chewy meat and seafood and fish LOL Broth will never equal real meat animal proteins ever but obvy is a good thing to use for nutrients and stuff. Just a heads up on that one and I know you know this, just a reminder.

Cause the #1 failure of zero carb is people will not eat enough. They come into this plan with ‘dieting baggage’ of ‘replacement options, fasting issues, every trick/tip/option/food limits/and all crazy things :wink:’ to ‘diet down the scale’ and we must leave that old mindset crap baggage behind. Just think eat zc. Eat all those foods any time you need them, you do that you win on this plan.

Yes the products are expensive for the good ones.

We are chatting about dehydrating your own bone broth on my other strict zero carb site. The guy said he makes alot of bone broth and wanted to ship some to family and friends and he said shipping liquid just ain’t gonna go down, so I investigated dehydrating your own bone broth and told him to do that…and he is trying it…waiting on results and report back.

just google ‘how to dehydrate brone broth’ and it is a very common practice so you will find info in a flash.

1 day you make a ton of broth…then dehydrate your own fresh broth for yourself.

So you can do what you bought alot cheaper and of course if you don’t use your oven as your dehydrator and buy one and put money there, you can dehydrate jerky and more…but heck you can do it all in your own oven anyway.

and remember that ‘they put in’ spices like the garlic, onion and more for taste when if you make it at home, none of that has to be in that product. Plus I am sure they probably ‘de-fat’ this product more than you would ever do at home making your own so your own dehyrdated broth would easily trump what you buy kinda.

just thoughts. chat out stuff and some stuff might be of interest and other stuff you think, no way, would rather buy it HAHA

I hear you sister! Sometimes I just don’t have enough hunger to warrant a full meat dinner though, but want a taste hit, it’s more for those moments really.

OK I get that. I am years into this and it ‘works for me’ but for a new person into zc this could easily work against you.

I say it works for me cause I know me now. I am so in tune with truth on food intake for my body now that I can navigate zc way more easily than a new person, but I walked those same steps early on :slight_smile:

just chatted this up with Jules on our Oxtoberfest zc thread.

Jules just said she is adapting thru and felt horrible now and was not hungry BUT…

then she wrote this and I was so happy to read this from her: —Ate a hearty red meat lunch, despite not really feeling it, once the first mouthful was in though, it tasted great and I ate it all.

and I told her that is exactly what a newer zc person should do.
not feeling meat? not quite hungry? feel easily low hunger signals, so easy to not eat ya know? but once you cook something and take a bite, you know real fast you either want it and inhale it and it makes you feel alot darn better, or you go, nah, I really really don’t want this LOL

so us zc people are more of this thought…not sure if hungry? cook up something and take a bite…real fast you will know if ya need it, require it, thrive on it, or hmmm, I could leave it for later. BUT IF you eat then you sure needed it.

again just thoughts on what goes down cause Jules just walked thru one part of this and these are just signals we need to focus on and think of what zc is all about…the zc food heals and fuels us and we require it. Don’t leave it out ya know cause it ‘is our fix’ and what this plan is all about.

Beef femur bones boiled 10 hours, canned in Mason jar. The bones are roasted in oven for an hour beforehand and gives color and flavor to the broth. Yumlish!


#46

yes yes you don’t have to dehydrate of course.
that is a great pic!
make a TON of broth and fridge that stuff!!

I just don’t do this stuff, how long will that last in fridge and can ya just freeze it and defrost some later and all good?

I am not a bone broth person and curious on that.


(UsedToBeT2D) #47

This is canned like jam. A dozen jars sit in the pantry, probably good for a year. I refrigerate after opening a jar of course.


#48

a year. wow ok that just gave alot of leeway in taking that time to make that big old pot of fresh broth and putting it up for a very long time.

cool…another great idea for those who require it!

yea refrig after opening is a needed move I would think.

OK those of us who love to ‘do fresh for ourselves’…we now got dehydrate and we got ‘can your broth’ for long term storage. Love it.

This looks great! I’ve started using fatty broth as my main morning meal and I love it. I blend homemade broth with suet and ghee and lots of salt. It’s really good and it’s helped me maintain a fat:protein ratio that seems to work well for me personally.

When I first tried ZC I was having two or three large servings of meat/day. Even though it was fatty meat, eating to satiety turned to be way too much protein for me. I wasn’t sure what to do and even tried eating raw suet alongside my meat (:nauseated_face:) but the broth turned out to be perfect. I sometimes also have it at night if I’m hungry but it’s too late for a meal. I’m not the carnivore expert that @Fangs is, obviously, but my fatty broth is working beautifully for me.

Similar except I also use some oxtail and then pressure cook in the Instant Pot for four hours. Pressure cooking keeps the histamine levels lower. Well, supposedly.


(Edith) #51

Hum. I never thought to can it, I always freeze it in two cup containers.


#52

that is cool. most, and I use that cause it means alot of us are truly the same on zc react kinda mostly the same, but there are exceptions of course and if it working for you and you are doing fine, then keep on doing what you are doing :slight_smile:
