While those who do not eat organs may feel limited, I think my breakfast had 4 or 5 quite distinct flavours and textures. I love my variety, but I also support adding in non meat products if it makes you happy and does not cause you harm. Here is my diverse breakfast pic for today:

Extremely healthy and tasty imho. Of course not everyone wants to deal with cost and prep issues like for thymus, here is two days ago whereby it did not look as appetizing

and the little portion on my plate probably was 5 to 10 dollars for what ended up being a few mouthfuls Still damn delicious though.

Tomorrow is my check in with Dr C…weighed in this morning 4lbs down from my nebraska gain…
I really starting to think the gain was probably my body adapting to nebraska weather and snow after leaving Florida and being in the 80s…and going to 18 degrees
It’s been colder way colder in florida this week but nothing compared to nebraska…I’ve just noticed since I’ve been back i im no longer craving fats and I’m eating alot less food than I was up there…I’ve got like 10 pieces of picahana in the freezer but I’m more into eating lamb hocks and roast at the moment and not the fatty belly like I was in nebraska.
i really hope the weight loss continues and I can get back down easily… maybe it’s a sign of just trust the process and it works…

Anytime I’ve taken any actual sleep aid, including NyQuil or Tylenol pm, I get exactly 4 hours sleep and then I shoot awake like a canon. The only time I took an actual sleeping pill was 15.5 years ago when I was in the hospital giving birth to my daughter. They gave it to me at 11 and said I’d sleep until 9. 1 am I was wide awake and in labor :joy:
This sickness I have has turned into the mother of all sinus infections. I did wind up taking a NyQuil at 1 am last night and slept until 5. But yeah, I get the NyQuil hangover afterwards even with a half dose.

Today’s food doesn’t have many pictures and was not in line with my current eating plan. It was more dirty keto, but I made the decision to do so selectively at a funeral dinner. Before the funeral I had some leftover steak and lamb chops. Then the funeral was an all day event for a prominent Catholic family. It ended at a small local Italian restaurant and you couldn’t order, they just brought you what had been preplanned. It would have been very dishonorable for this very very Italian family to completely refuse any food and beef and lamb weren’t being put in front of me lol. So I had salami, pepperoni, cheese, and a little fruit from the appetizer. Picked at the salad, fried chicken (breast and leg) that they brought out next, and I had the meatball off the main course pasta plate. Tried to get my husband to eat some of the pasta off my plate but he didn’t, so my friend took it home with him :joy:. The waitress seemed offended I didn’t eat any and was more offended I didn’t eat cake :joy:. But I didn’t take any pictures at the restaurant. Tomorrow will be back to strict lion diet for the month of February!

Meat pics start to seem nice :smiley: I realized today I pretty much regenerated and could eat meat again.
But I have too much non-meat to eat (various dairy items, mostly… and I want more eggs. I should stop eating butter, I eat way too much this way…? or not, I had workout, I probably needed the calories. and at least the vast majority of the significantly over 100g protein :smiley: I stopped tracking after my second meal and I had a third one. yep, I go back to skipping lunch, it’s not convenient to eat so many times, getting hungry again and again, hours in the kitchen etc. and I never would lose fat this way)… So I continue my vegetarian days for a while. Like 1-2 days. I am in love with eggs now and it’s good as we both ignored our poor egg stew today so I will focus on it tomorrow.

So it’s surprisingly easy to live almost on eggs and dairy for me right now. It’s loads better than it was with meat previously. Odd. Meat usually help and I will need that later but now I am a happy egg eater (except I wanted to eat more egg dishes today… I won’t be as heavy with the cheese and butter tomorrow, I need the room for eggs). I bought interesting cheeses and they are fun now. Alvaro’s usual darling, Gouda is super boring for me, I almost never touch that anymore.

605 comments in 1 month, well done everyone. Excellent sharing.

It’s February 1 here. Measurements taken. I have lost 5cm / 2 inches from my belly circumference and 3cm* from my neck circumference measurements during the January Challenge. I like @Fangs Idea of having a Fit February - a clothes Fit February. Start with finding something tight. Test it today. Then test it again in 28 days time. It’s only 4 weeks.

So, I went and tried a shirt size smaller than I have been wearing to find something tight fit to start February. It fitted. :joy: … Now my self perception has had a readjustment, I have to try a further size smaller

*snoring reduction apparent

Carnivore Feb goals:

  1. Be as happy and comfortable on carnivore at the end of Feb as I am right now after 12 days on carnivore.
  2. Sub 110kg by end Feb (stretch goal sub 108kg)
  3. Trying 12 different forms of meat… pork, chicken, turkey, lamb, beef, pate, bacon (yes, I know), kangaroo (yes, we eat roos!), what else can I find…

I think we are the only country in the world that eats the animal on our country’s crest/coat of arms.
Cheers
Alec

(Michael) #611

Elk, venison, camel, ostrich, emu, crocodile, Buffalo are all on my list, and I just received two kangaroo steaks as well Do not forget turkey and goose and other fowl as well.


#612

I bought some Emu steaks and I wasn’t thrilled with them, in that they were ok on taste etc…but the darn price didn’t warrant me being easy on the wallet and just go with chicken or duck :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I can’t help we don’t even have animals in our crest since ages. Once we had lions (we probably didn’t have lions in the country, only in the crest), some mythological bird (2-headed eagle) and things I can’t recognize… Maybe weasel… Nope, not a proper edible animal like pork or sheep or even horse…

I never ate emu or ostrich despite it became a thing in Hungary… It didn’t last sooo long but it’s still possible to get some but it’s so difficult (all the farms are far away from here. like, at the other part of the country) that I never put in the effort.
