Karim's muscle gain carnivore adventure

[ODE]

Hows the food quality/taste compared to home? Gonna have to stop lurking till my fast is done xD.

[Karim_Wassef]

It’s ok. Nothing notable.

[x-Dena-x]

I’m surprised at the Americanized breakfasts they have availz.

Hope your trip is going less stressful.

[Karim_Wassef]

Big hotels cater to global appetites

Dinner was actually much more culturally colorful but I got distracted by the conversation and didn’t take a picture… the first time I got to try real Chinese food on this trip… and I don’t take a picture. I’ll have to reconstruct it from memory:

1. Jellyfish (2 spoonfuls)
2. Ox-tail (2 spoonfuls)
3. Abalone (1 spoonful)
4. White fish (2 spoonfuls)
5. Black eel (3 spoonfuls)
6. Beef cubes (1 spoonful)
7. Squab (3 thighs/legs)
8. Small shrimp (12 pieces)
9. Duck skin - roasted (1 slice)

That’s all - I think. Now don’t you wish I had remembered to take that picture?

[x-Dena-x]

Yes, particularly the Jellyfish. I always swim away from them; not guide them into my mouth.

[Karim_Wassef]

They’re actually cartilagey when cooked

Reminds me of beef tendons

[Karim_Wassef]

All lurkers are welcome … please step forward and let us know you’re here

Wait … then you wouldn’t be lurkers… but you can always return to your lurking ways if you must…

Secret Police: “Papers! Papers please!”

Day 20 - second day in Shanghai

[Karim_Wassef]

Terrible GKI… 2MAD doesn’t seem to be right for me… even keto carnivore. Also - no weightlifting and a lot of stress…

Continuing to lose weight but I can’t really confirm since I’m using a different scale.

[Karim_Wassef]

Breakfast today…

3 egg omelette
1 spoonful of ham
2 hard boiled eggs
9 strips of bacon
4 sausages
3 spoonfuls of smoked salmon
6 pieces of cheese
3 small slices of roast beef

[Karim_Wassef]

Joined some friends for lunch without eating yesterday… but decided to share some foods that were similar to what I ate the day before:

Jellyfish

Chicken

Beef

Fish

Pigeon

Mushroom sac pork dumplings

Pigeon thighs

[Karim_Wassef]

Then last night’s dinner:

Foix Gras - very cool presentation

Conch soup - just ate the conch meat

Fish

Lamb

Prawn

[Karim_Wassef]

How do I post video? Anyone know?

Day 21 - day 3 in Shanghai

This mornings results are terrible…

I didn’t calculate my macros but I didn’t eat much… but 2MAD and no lifting is breaking my results

I suspect that they use seed oils in the cooking and I’m inflamed…

No breakfast or lunch today. Might just fast until back in Dallas unless I get to the hotel gym to reset

[x-Dena-x]

That bird has a face still!! Kariiiiiiiiiiim!!! I loved it all except the bird face and the fois gras. But you already knew this lol. Did you like the Jellyfish?

I use Google Photo’s cloud, so I just upload it to there and choose the “create a link” option, and it’ll create a link, and you paste the link just like you do a YouTube link.

[Karim_Wassef]

All birds have faces… I choose to accept this reality and enjoy them

The foix gras was excellent and the goose was well fed. Don’t believe the hype- it’s been part of our diet since the ancient Egyptians first domesticated fowl…

I like the jellyfish texture and crunch but not much flavor.

[Karim_Wassef]

Starbucks in Nanjing

Carbs everywhere…

[x-Dena-x]

All birds have faces… I choose to accept this reality and enjoy them

I enjoy them and pretend the meat just materialized into the market.

Crunchy jellyfish. I’d try it, though I’d be picturing me in the ocean, frantically paddling away from even a Moon jelly. And for like a week at the end of July, all the Moon jelly’s eggs come, and it feels like you’re swimming in bubble tea.

Mushroom sac pork dumplings

These look like tiny trash bags

[Karim_Wassef]

They do, but they’re apparently delicious… they use the black mushroom to make the bag and stuff it … I didn’t try it since I had already had breakfast
