Don’t you be giving our Upsydownsyland summer away Aimee!
I might as well keep writing.
Back to work in the city. So great to see @Marknel posting again and mentioning the wider ripples of attempting carnivore in the wild (not a metabolic ward) with the distractions and disruptions of daily work life balancing.
Daily approach is:
Black coffee with cream in the morning (this is drug not food; self medicating)
You know @Fangs Fangsy, if the carnivore diet is not eating plant foods, and if coffee is a pharmaceutical, a drug, and not food, then coffee fits into carnivore as a non-food? The slippery slope here is if one considers chocolate as a drug rather than a food (which it is).
After Noon:
5 eggs scrambled
4 slices bacon
@Fangs look away
1 large mushroom
1/2 small avocado
6 hrs later about a few hours before bed:
meat
last night it was 3 types of fish cooked in butter
night before it was racks of pork ribs to the horizon (4 racks)
night before was roast lamb
In there I had 2 fork fulls of leafy salad or cooked veges (brocolli) to disperse gazes of staring extended family. But there’s also Dr. Ted Naiman’s thoughts on extended satiety with a small dose of carbs. Fangsy has a thread about fiber in which I posted about that.
I have had some oxalate dumping signs with eye crusts, minor heart palpitations, interesting cramps (memorable one in upper abdominal), aching joints in fingers. So have upped the magnesium citrate another 30% to 900mg per day (recommended dose is 150mg - 300 mg, or 600mg if paleo) and that’s sorted out the heart arrhythmia signals.
Brain clarity is good at work. No afternoon slumps. All those around me yawning with their “energy” drinks clattering from their hands.
Carnivore is still challenging.
Happy unAustralia Day @Bubby1 Aimee for this long summer weekend. Lamb on the menu? Or rock lobster?
