I had maybe around 2500 kcal for lunch, easily more but itās impossible to track. I fried 500g pork shoulders but I only used the very fatty parts of a big slab and got 75g lard in the processā¦ No one can tell me how much it was. 1500 for normal shoulders but I guess it was significantly fattier.
I ate it all up quickly and stayed hungry. I had eggs and yogurt too. And I was still so hungry that I eat pĆ¢tĆ© as well.
Nothing surprising, yesterday wasnāt exactly carnivore and I used pork shoulders, the item that apparently triggers 4000+ kcal days if I dare to eat twiceā¦
Protein is at 120g so I should be fine, fat is anyoneās guess, maybe 200g? Probably more.
I try not to eat more today, I will just patiently wait for satiation. I am not exactly hungry and ate a ton and I donāt have anything else I would want so it should be enough. I was thinking fondly of Carni Satiation that almost always kicks in after a few days close to carni (and often stays with me for a quick stray) but that will arrive soon. I am curious if it stays with me if I do carni weeks or I still will get hungrier daysā¦
I might have overfried my meat, the texture was lovely, the taste was lacking. Oh well, still good fuel! The yogurt and the egg milks were lovely. The boiled eggs were useful, I think I drop them nowā¦ I will keep some in my pickle jars but thatās it. WHY I donāt have sponge cakes when I need them?
I still canāt wrap my head around the fact that some people actually are able to do it. Okay that many functions can be done poorly using less energy but we are pretty big hot blooded land animals, we need a lot of energy! Human bodies are amazing. Sometimes in a negative way, I think of people who canāt lose fat at a normal deficit because the body decides itās starvation and takes away the deficit, proper functions be damned. (Damn is a proper verb as a hell is a proper noun, it means a specific thing that canāt be said otherwise so itās not a swear word IMO.)
But even a healthy body can get messed up if one eats unwell for a long time, thatās knownā¦
My SO was lucky as he very quickly and effectively starved down all his extra fat (and he has barely any muscles to begin with and he didnāt care about that) and one hardly can mess up their metabolism in 6 weeks, at least he couldnāt or not so much and it bounced backā¦
My starvation (I had only a little money for internet, not for food. I canāt starve if I have access to food) was 11 days long so I had no problem either.
We both pretty much avoided ādietingā all our life.
Ouch. What about more meals and higher protein?
Fangs, some people STARVE on keto when they just eat when hungry. IDK why and how but some people work like that. I read about people barely eatingh on carnivore too. Even if itās just temporal, it can cause problems.
Even me, with my huge overeating skills had undereating times on carnivore. It couldnāt cause much problem for me (and I lost no fat, of course) as my confused body with its insane calorie calculating skills moderately quickly realized it needs to demand overeating to balance things out BUT even that wasnāt exactly ideal, I hate overeating in an apparently starved state, itās not hedonistic. I like to know if I eat too little and take steps to avoid it for going too long (one day is okay, more is unacceptable unless itās a proper fast but I canāt do that without a higher-carb last meal).
Itās way more serious for @Keto_Lou (by the way, cute name, I never mentioned it but I like it 
Isnāt it the name of some koala from a tale or something? I have a lot of cute Australian kiddie books with animals).
Sorry, I keep writing too much hereā¦
