I used the blur but this post still contains carby references so anyone who has problems with it, beware. I was asked and I replied in my usual verbose level, sorry. I did think about more proper food in the end.
It was stuffed chicken. If I had a bigger momentum (I already gave up on September, I merely put a bunch of carni days into it but I am not as determined as I probably will be in November and January is a must have carni month at this point in my life seriously, itâs different. September is trickier, I merely was too optimistic as I am prone to) or less optimism, I would have bring my own food⌠Or figure out what to do with the stuffing (I canât just left it all. we already grabbed the actual meat and not the middle part without any)⌠it was nice enough, by the way just very unnecessary, if I wanna spend as many carbs, I have way better ideas⌠But starch is still loads better than simple sugar. I felt quite good afterwards but I typically am fine if itâs just a single off day and I donât even start to eat sugar. And I didnât if we donât count all the milk I had (it wasnât that much but it wasnât very little)
I still didnât stop, today I had about 6 milky coffee this far, small ones with maybe 60ml milk total. Yeah, I will keep my no coffee times until I can consume coffee normally, not 2 per hour⌠5 coffee days from 15âŚ
There was a carby side but I am not particularly interested in potato mash with margarine, to put it lightly, IDK why Alvaro ate much of it. He is health-conscious normally and obviously dislikes margarine as it tastes like watered sunflower oil or worse, at least for us who are super far from that lifestyleâŚ
Alvaroâs Mom chooses her ingredients quite differently from us. She never uses something more expensive from the vaguely same group. Low-fat dairy, margarine, common sugar if she bakes something even though she has diabetes and even her other son is health conscious at this point and eat better, sunflower oil⌠We avoid them all since 12 years, you wonât find any in this house ever. Once I wanted to buy sugar for practicing icing but I couldnât mentally bear the act of grabbing a package and put into my shopping basket :D. I have my limits, I always say⌠But I completely stopped icing now (I did the whole thing to have tiny gifts for Christmas and because nicely iced cookies are pretty) and I make rocks instead, they last longer and have other benefits. Better for my peace of mind for sure.
It could have been breaded chicken too. And probably some carby stews exist? Not in this country though, we only have goulash for that but thatâs a ruminant dish.
Oh it could have been curry with vegs.
Meat dishes can have so many
The mouflon dish on Sunday will have beetroot. I checked and it will be very few carbs, still a keto day (whatâs more, below 20g carbs⌠not my normal carby keto that I almost never do nowadays), thatâs something. Next time I will decide what we do with our ruminant meat. But Alvaro really, really waited to make tuhâu properly. Ancient Sumerian recipe. Okay, not properly as we omitted many carby items but they are just unnecessary flavorings even Alvaro doesnât need We made the dish once, with beef and wine (the original recipe calls for beer), now we skip the wine too, IDK how we could use up a whole bottle in a week, we are super bad at drinking so much⌠But the original recipe calls for mutton. And we have it now.
Next time we buy deer for our ruminant meal, I am very determined. Is there something other option than making a stew from it? I am always ready for more carnivore options (though our stews are just a little bit off) but I want it to be very good!
I donât know how one makes chili without plants, we only did one type and it was vegetarianâŚ
And itâs amazing how many plant stuff is in âcarnivoreâ chili recipes. And I donât count the 10 spices⌠Why is this? I met this phenomenon before, putting all kinds of plants into food and calling it carnivore, very wrongly and I didnât understand even then.
My carnivore-ish is stricter! And I probably would omit lots of plants on a very off day too⌠I eat almost zero vegs (and I mean it. sometimes my âbarely anythingâ is much, like if I eat barely anything, thatâs easily still 1300 kcal for that day. barely any vegs means a very few options and 10-20g on some days and zero on others. spices not included but I use little of that, usually. my staple dishes donât need any. I typically do the same off carnivore, off keto, even off low-carb! I just donât add vegs, they are in the past except the tiny remnants) and I want to keep that, it works well for me.
BUT I found sour cream in one recipe, I like that I probably even need something if we manage to make the food spicy (and thatâs the point). I like spicy just not much. Alvaro likes very spicy things, his Mom just gave us a bunch of dried chili so I immediately thought about the dish chili, itâs exciting as I never even ate a meaty one (if I remember correctly but maybe I donât), only vegetarian and very carby ones. And a carnivore-ish version, that must be something special!
I feel hot so very often lately and not in a good sense. I think my body entered âautumn stateâ while the weather is still hot in the middle of the day, quite summer-y, not the hottest summer days but some normal ones⌠I enjoy the cool times.
Our house keep its temperature. Not for long, weather forecast says temperature will drop 10C soon⌠16/17C for MAXIMUM in the weekend! We have way higher temps in October basically every year⌠But this is weather for you
It surely will warm up again but the house is 24C. If we suddenly got winter, it would take about 2 weeks until it would cool down enough for us to need heating. Itâs a nice, insulated house with 2 people who doesnât need a very warm house in winter. I wonder if I will stand cold more now that I have cold showers. Maybe not, itâs very different to have a quick shower from sitting in the room for hours. But I decided to go to the hilltop every day (morning or evening) wearing summer clothes until I can No, until I am willing, I surely could do that in -20C, it just would be cold (and normal winter mornings arenât even frosty or just barely, -20C happens once in a few years, it stays for some/several days though). But the hilltop is super close and I can use some motivation to runâŚ
I plan it since weeks but it didnât happen yet.
I wouldnât have thought but hairwashing with quite cold water is fine for me. I did wait until I came home hot from my walk so it felt wonderful but stillâŚ
Cold showers are cool. At least now, I am very curious what I can do in winter. Probably the same as Alvaro: warm shower and then a quick cold one.
