food yesterday was
10 oz ribeye steak
12 jumbo shrimp with butter for dip
tin of sardines
few slices salami and a small chunk of cheddar
holding strong
loving my meat/seafood eating
Leaner and meaner I get 
Hope others are getting good results from the challenge~!
Chocolate is sneaky.
Are you addicted to it? Sounds like it. You did well. I am impressed and inspired and just ate half a chicken with a side of mineral water. Maybe my body needed tryptophan today?
yea I call it a trigger thing for me.
chocolate triggers feeling about chocolate HAHA
so when I give it up and don’t allow it I do so well. let a little sneak in and I do badly. I will learn of course thru it all…I hope I do at least HA
1/2 a chicken. Cool. I do that also. 1/2 for me and 1/2 for hubby and it is so delish. Chicken tho doesn’t hold me long. I usually need some beef in my day with chicken, I kinda think of chicken as a side dish now LOL
Yes. I think I needed the salt it was about 105F here today and I was out there tipping some water on the smaller trees, then had a 3 hour drive to get to a work function tonight that had plant-based catering. Last night I had a rib eye. It was so good that I dreamed I was on the ketogenic forum writing about how delicious it was. If you dream of eating rib eye, does that extend any natural fasting? It seemed to for me… I cooked an omelette this morning/lunchtime in the pan juices from the steak. My wife was horrified (probably because I hadn’t washed up the fry pan).
oh yea…steak pan juices and eggs pair up so well. I love love love that taste! Your wife horrified is funny
105…that is super hot. no doubt about that. I love hot weather and do my best in the 90 plus temps. Anything colder and I get slower LOL but tipping into 105 even I start to melt then.
you dream of ribeyes just proves you are a carnivore to the very core!
yea we know when we truly need some salt. your body feels it and it registers and we eat it and feel great I get that.
I just bought some pink Himalayan salt the other day.
It seems like my newest order of Redmond salt has a lot of minerals in it…that it is ‘crunchy’ and not a good crunch. It is like the ‘rocks’ I just find distressing in this batch. being mined from the old sea bed in dirt I know gives it some ‘dark specks’ in it…mineral rock grains I guess? and I found the last order I got has been ‘crunchy’ and not a good crunchy so I hit the store a bit ago and bought some fine pink Him. salt.
I find I like it very much. Don’t know about the ‘value of it’ in any terms yet. I gotta go read up on it a bit I guess.
Challenge going very well.
Holding clean carnivore.
food was about a 10 oz ribeye steak. a bunch of delish shrimp with alfredo sauce for dipping. about a 1/2 lb. cheeseburger patty.
Scale dropped a bit more. The more I eat the more I seem to lose. Always loving that Very happy with my current stats right now.
Hope everyone else is doing well~!
Just received my first order from White Oaks Pastures. They are featuring Dr. Saladino and those 2 sisters (haven’t checked them out yet) on the 14-15th this month. It will be a carnivore weekend there. If I lived anywhere near there I’d love to go.
We compared their grass fed beef fat with grain finished and there is a big difference in taste. I can’t wait to try their Paleo burger that is 60% organ blended in. 
Wow Renee that is fab you got your first order from White Oaks.
I think bob is the only person I know on the board that is kinda close to White Oaks. It is still a good drive for me, about 7 hrs. I sure wish I could do it also. I would love a ‘carnivore weekend event’.
Enjoy your meats!!
food yesterday was low and crappy
5 link sausage
10 chicken wings
2 chunks cheddar
What kind of carnivore eating is that?? Just a lousey food day.
woke up hungry.
will attack a giant ribeye later. need beef, must have beef LOL
I had been hoping to go but had a visitation schedule change up so can’t. Hopefully someone on here will and report back. Maybe it’ll become an annual thing.
yesterday food was
10 oz ribeye steak
1 lb. of jumbo shrimp with alfredo sauce for dipping
2 fresh pecans
and I went Dirty Carnivore…yea on 2 stupid pecans.
Never liked them. My kid was eating them so I wanted to ‘taste’ them again. OMG so bitter to me. So off putting to my taste buds. Yup I hate them and to me they taste full of some bad crazy toxins or something LOL So I wanted a taste on those just to see and yea I saw I despise them nasty things HAHA
today I will finish up my last ribeye I have defrosted, I think putting a chuck roast into the crockpot will hold me a few days. Where’s the Beef? At my house
Weekends. Bah humbug! 2 words… butter tart. ARG!!! I am SO looking forward to the post-Holiday season. So many functions to attend for a newbie carni. My training wheels are so wobbly!
Haha same!!! I do notice that the deeper I get, the “better” my “cheats” are lol. Like Saturday I “cheated” with a very small slice of keto cheesecake, a tiny piece of keto brownie, pepper jack cheese and some turkey.
Yesterday I “cheated” with some ham, turkey, pepperoni and pepper jack cheese lol.
Today is back to beef.
Cheryl, heck I don’t even know what a butter tart is
Luckily I was never a pastry or cake person. I can easily pass that all by and not even react.
one thing if you are wobbly…are you eating enough? it is a biggie in transitioning and cutting out the cravings. Your tummy must be full. You can’t be ‘kinda a bit hungry’ and then times like butter tarts happen.
I know one thing that worked for me was eat eat eat the meat.
I filled myself up til almost too full on meat. This put in place that extra defense of ‘I can’t eat anything else or I will die’ factor in me and held me off other foods.
just what worked for me. hope some of that info helps a bit. Oh, and I stayed super stuffed on meats and seafood for a very very long time. I ate big. Very big. I needed it to make it work for me.
LOL yea my kid loves pecans and I never did but she was ooohhing and ahhing over how good they were so I tried 2 again. ICK is all I can say HAHA
All I wanted to do was graze thru the kitchen all day yesterday
boring, cold, rainy, icky day. that contributed to it LOL
food was
10 oz ribeye steak
1/2 cup taco meat with some cheese (not a good choice but family ate it for dinner and I wanted it for no good darn reason. set my tummy on fire…oh well, ugh)
2 country pork spare ribs my hubby bought from our good BBQ joint.
I kept wandering the kitchen. didn’t want to cook, didn’t want to eat a big meal, wanted to snack away on crap but I didn’t.
I see I am not eating well. I am eating 1 steak and using that as my food. then eating lighter and less. not working for me.
back to absolute basics. beef beef and more beef
back to 2 lbs of ribeye a day for sure. getting a chuck roast in my crockpot to eat as my go to item when I wander the kitchen and want something.
been on challenge and doing well but I see me wandering on the basic carnivore menu. beef and a heck of a lot of it
Hello all!
Sorry for the absence for the last couple of weeks Life just got way busy.
I think the last time I posted I was heading to Seattle for an overnight trip.

Other anecdotal data points:
Mood-Upswing towards more positive outlooks even in stressful and normally very difficult-to-deal-with situations. I’ve been tracking my moods for 71 days and I’ve been having an abnormally long stretch of very good days.
Eczema - Initially started to get better - Went on a slight cheese binge and seemed to suffer a flair up.
Sleep - I don’t need as much. This has really surprised me. I’ve been on a self-flagellation kick around going to bed to late for my normal wake up time. When I stepped away from the emotions of berating myself over this and doing a body check in, I’m finding I’m doing just fine with 5 to 6 hours of sleep and functioning well without the need for naps.
Time is short so I haven’t been able to catch up on the thread. I really hope you are all doing well!
I’ve been sleep typing.
