Here’s my attempt at self discipline today
You’d think that after eating two grilled chicken thighs, a sirloin steak, three eggs, a plate of beef liver and a plate of beef brain… followed by a large bowl of bone broth and a large shake with almost three scoops of whey protein isolate… and the accompanying fats from butter, ghee and MCT… that I would be satisfied… that’s a substantial portion of protein and not bad control on carbs (9g)…
However, my glucose and ketones went from 86G, 0.4K before to 95G, 0.3K after… and I’m hungry. I swear the salt and vinegar almonds in the pantry are literally holding my mind hostage unless I concede to that initial 40g… that eventually becomes 80g… then 120g before the night is over.
But I will go without for today… the carnivore will assert himself and the tempting almond sirens will be vanquished in a terrible thunderstorm of my willpower… tempt me no more, evil delicious plant!
I did legs today - squat machine (being careful given my latest injuries) with two plates on each side + individual leg quads machine + individual legs hams machine + individual legs donkey kicks machine. Finished off with a sauna.
I also did low weight bicep curls… I’m avoiding upper body for now since I followed up the lower back injury with a severe strain to my right tricep - the deep one. So now my right shoulder injury has cascaded into a bicep tendon tear and a deep tricep strain. I push myself hard like I did when I was in college a few decades ago - but my body doesn’t grow like I want it to… it just gets hurt reminding me of my age.
