Went meat shopping this weekend beef was on sale due to the long weekend sale price is up but still to buying prime rib at 7.99lb is is still good price so stocked up…
Came home and put a huge roast in the smoker as well as the corned beef to make pastrami.
Both came out really good.
Odd combination indeed. I still don’t think that it’s as bad as a normal diet or that everyone gets cancer eating sugar, obviously it’s not true but if I decided to add something to carnivore in bigger than tiny amounts… That would be not sugar (okay, some fruit as I love my fruit… but a tiny is enough). It could be anything else, sugar is the absolute worst…
But each to their own.
And there is a thing as a healthier carby diet. When I went low-carb, I ate fruit and kind of much vegs (I needed high-carb for really much vegs. when I ate vegs, I meant business) and it was pretty good for me. But it’s me. Fruit is great for some people. In moderation as the human body has its limitations, personal differences can do only that much… HOW fruit eaters function for so long (IDK how long but they should feel bad after days at most, living on sugar is crazy for a human, hummingbirds can pull it off with just some insects for protein but not us) I can’t imagine.
@Ketodaisy: You are right, beautiful brisket! 
Its fattiness looks like what I could enjoy. And I am not even envious as I have my own brisket in the freezer, I just can’t stop eating my lovely pork yet 
@Karen18: I am not sure I like pork chops yet (I am not sure anymore, I can change and the similarly lean pork I eat now is so satisfying…) but your photo is lovely as usual, how great colors…
@Redrobins: Congratulations for the grandkid! And the new hobby too, it’s cool to try out new things, I should find something myself… And go back to running, I am okay now for that and the weather is cool now so I can’t blame the hotness!
Salty bone broth can be creamy in texture and fulfill the warm beverage comfort sipping needs.
I was concerned about my 80 year-old mum and osteoporosis. So I encourage her to be more protein focused in her meals. 
we all know what it’s like telling parents what to do. The best I can do is encourage. But also suggested for her to add some fat soluble vitamins to her stack of pharma. In that I suggested Vit K2 for proper mineral storage in the bone matrix and (remaining) teeth. Her doctor said she couldn’t have Vitamin K because she was on blood thinners. That just showed me that her doctor must have scraped through university, as it is Vitamin K1 that is the one that affects blood clotting and is the antidote for warfarin (rat poison) poisoning.
The upshot is that my mum gave me the bottle of Vit K2 (Menaquinone 180 micrograms) capsules. Once daily. My Vitamin D level is 95 (very good) as we head into winter. So I take the Vitamin K2 on its own, one per day. I used to have sensitive teeth before going carnivore. But now I can chew ice cubes.
I’m not sure of what the Vitamin K (K1, K2, K7?) sources are in whole food carni foods. There is more to learn. I think liver may be a storage area, fat certainly would be, as it is a fat soluble vitamin. But it depends on what we’re eating ate. Anyone?
This podcast was interesting about Vitamin K and clearing calcification in arteries:
The day before I posted the Carnivore Wave, a surfer was knocked off his board at the same surfbreak at 7:30am in the morning. It’s a hobby, sport and lifestyle where the participants are in the food chain. There are carnivores above us, I guess. But this one came up from below.
Just overnight! It seems so complicated on the Traeger but back in TX in July I’m gonna try it your way!
Weston Price discovered Vitamin K2 in the raw milk of grassfed cows. From what I read it’s the only source of Vitamin K2.
Yes! I turned it on to 200 degrees and put it on mostly frozen but completely plain and uncovered. I put it in probably around 8 pm and took it out at 9 am. It was a fairly small brisket. 2 servings for me 
@Karen18 Poor baby, SIX minutes of deep sleep! No wonder you’re so exhausted. Wish I knew what you could do. Heroin? JK.
I take mg glyceride, 5htp, and melatonin. I understand reduction of estrogen as we age can cause insomnia and cramping and the article I read on cramping suggested these supplements.
That is food and I need to make soup and it disappears almost right away so it’s not an option for me. But it’s salty and food… My warm stuff is sweet or at least dessert-like.
(Plain tea is super sweet now… It’s baffling. I would understand if I avoided sugar all the time but I don’t… Still, things just get sweeter and sweeter.)
And it easily triggers hunger, GREAT gateway food when I need food but I can’t bring stomach something solid.
But sometimes it may work even for me, I just keep forgetting its existence…
I never saw broth in shops here, I know you other folks have it, interesting. I need to procure some meaty bones and make my soup… That’s meat soup made in 2 hours but no way I spend more time on it. And I like that. It’s not creamy but adding yolks probably would help? As it’s food and I only eat it in my eating window anyway. But I have egg milks there too (dangerous as I like them best with coffee or cocoa. but they are fine with vanilla and sometimes even plain. yolk, butter, water, what not to like?).
(I am reading a fanfic with innumerable amount of big words and it may influence me. Good. I know zillion words but my active vocabulary is tiny and my text is often too puerile. Especially in chat, I am a tad more eloquent here.)
And whatever options I have, there is something special when it comes to coffee. But I keep my coffee consumption in a smallish window (and need a good reason for it). I do my best to avoid drinking it early. Today it was 1pm but I had a slight headache and no mood to be “strong”.
Hi guys, I think I am done for today. I had a lunch and a dinner. I wasn’t hungry today but I know I need fuel and eating is a joy. I had smallish meals but in the end I consumed almost as much as yesterday. I ate the same items, a tad less pork jowl and scrambled eggs instead of egg salad (but I ate my sour cream too) and less sponge cakes. Guesstimation says 71% fat again. I started with fattier items today.
I couldn’t eat much fried pork, I just didn’t want it. I fancy something fattier again (my fat percentage won’t go up as I skip the very fatty processed items then).
I am done with dry sausage for a while, it’s no surprise, I lost my interest lately.
Is there something to do with lean pork roast? Putting them into some sauce or something? I have ideas for that but those aren’t carnivore… But maybe I will like it tomorrow. Fried pork is different anyway, it’s tricky using lean pork (and close to zero added fat as I only had a few grams. butter is a luxury item for my egg milks and other dishes where only butter works, I won’t waste it on it if possible), fatty pork works waaaay better. It’s the same for roast too but this cut often worked like that…
I forgot to use bacon on some slices. But I really don’t want processed meat now so maybe it’s okay.
Maybe I can make some yolk based sauce… Yolk/butter? Sounds delicious.
Yeah look up hollindaise sauce… prob use a different fat than butter I guess…
Todays food left overs from prime rib and flanken ribs.
Jake was so happy to see my husband Saturday but this morning he knew something was up with all the movement of items going out to the truck…
He was really grumpy with the other dogs so much so he didn’t really take much notice when I slipped a leash on him…
Then his eyes and his face lit up so much when my husband said to him come on jake let’s go for a ride
We bought the bigger two dogs GPS collars so if they get out we know where to go. Here is jake driving around Miami
Well I have just had a look at what sleep 9 got last night and I am really surprised as 8 was in bed at 6.10pm and dozing off at 7! I know i was up a lot but my fit bit said I didn’t go to sleep till half 10! Perhaps I didn’t, I was up a lot as my tummy was crazy bad last night. If 10 is the worst pain mine was at least 8!
Up before my alarm at 4.40am and at work about 5.50am. I made the most of that and left early this afternoon and was home about 3.30pm
Brunch about 11.30am was reheated chicken slices in butter. I took a hard boiled egg in with me but didn’t eat it. Tummy was painful on and off throughout the day.
Dinner was chicken wings followed by a small bit of cheddar and turkey bacon rashers. Plate show one and a nibble one but I had 6. They were surprisingly nice. And I have just had 2 hard boiled eggs.
The only complete photo (taken before eating are the chicken wings! Very tired and ready for bed. Not back in work till next Wednesday and Thursday.
Sorry but I could only skim the posts this evening but all the food pics look very appetising.especially the pastrami
Thanks! It seems nice indeed.
I only have butter now (and coconut oil but that’s not tasty), it’s fine, I don’t need much and I am willing to use butter if it’s something where it can shine! I just don’t want to use it for frying as it makes little difference just adds cost (and burns easier).
I am not familiar with most popular sauces, we never had them at home… And I probably weren’t focused in restaurants but I normally choose something simpler anyway like catfish stew That’s nice. I haven’t eaten catfish since ages.
And now I am a tad hungry. Maybe I never should go below 120g protein… Especially not on non-OMAD days. I think I eat some more lean pork.
Mega eats today! The leftover brisket, seared in camel fat. Then this evening I was hungry, so I made what I had left of bacon, maybe 7 pieces? Dipped in kerrygold. Was still hungry, so I pulled a ribeye out of the freezer and air fried it.
@Ketodaisy sounds simple on the brisket, thanks. Mine may be larger, maybe it would take longer but I like that you used no salt, just unseasoned meat. Lately I’ve stopped using salt in cooking the meat and just add it when I’m eating.
I’ll be glad tomorrow when hubby is home. I think this puppy’s constant whining and barking may be her missing her daddy! Plus, my evenings are filled with phone calls, as soon as I finish teaching I have to call him, and no time to unwind. Luckily he doesn’t talk while driving
Between students I made a 2 oz tuna salad with boiled egg and mayo and then after the copious phone calls, a duck egg and slice of tenderloin. Now it’s 10:20 and for once I’m getting to bed at a decent hour!
The neighbor in TX sent my music and called, said it will be here Friday. Whew!
Frank from close to the International Dateline here. We’re moving into a new month and a newer you. Join us in June.
I hate bone broth or any liquid. Not me. I tried to force broth on me thru my lc yrs but it never took LOL ick.
today is 4 thin cut leaner pork chops
2 chicken breasts in homemade alfredo sauce later
ZC’ing along in fine fashion. Feeling wonderful!
Someone will have to start up the new thread … I can’t remember what title was decided upon!
Well another night of tummy terrors but thankfully it calmed down after 5am. So so painful like I had burning acid in my tum. Just not used to the big D 
I was up by 8.15am and in the bath and after pottering about getting sorted went over rto Raymond’s to get him to a Dr appt. Got back home about 12.45pm and had a small amount of cheddar and 2 scrambly duck eggs. That saw me through my shopping trip. The Company Shop was a bit disappointing today no really good meat deals … I only want to buy when they have reduced down on the last day on the shelf. So I spent very little in there and moved on to Lidl and they were a bit disappointing too but I did pick up some brisket (not reduced) and some chick thighs but when I got to the checkout I had a £10 money off coupon which was a surprise as I didn’t realise I had spent enough to get that this month! So I went outside and noticed banana plants and citrus geraniums so thought why not, I love the smell of the lemon balmy geranium and haven’t seen any for years. So spent that savings lol.they are in my little greenhouse at the moment. Also got more bird food, good grief they can’t half eat there way through a lot of food lol.
Pork chops x 2 with butter for dinner followed by a little goats cheese. Very nice.
@Karen18: I am boring but I must express my enjoyment over your exquisite flowers and your “I bought some new plants” stories! I usually show your flowers to Alvaro as he must see those beauties too!!!
My tiny, somewhat new madagascar periwinkle (it’s just vinka in Hungarian) will have FOUR flowers tomorrow unless it loses the oldest ones… I want another in a different color!
I just tracked and no fatty meat without label today so it’s not even very much off! 1800 kcal, TMAD (tiny eating window, maybe a bit over 2 hours? Alvaro came home late and I could wait).
64% fat day after two 71% ones as I skipped the pork jowl. I didn’t even wanted the sausage but I needed something and it’s easy to eat.
Exactly a pound of pork, roasted, egg salad, sponge cakes with butter (they are the perfected, very much superior version of buttered buns), sour cream, a sausage and egg milk. Coffee was involved but at least not in the first hours and I did have a tiny headache… I should stop this but my self-control is worse than ever in the moment and it always was very far from my personality.
Carnivore is easy as I don’t desire anything else at all food wise.
So… My June might be more carnivore-ish than I thought… But I can never know. But it’s JUNE so my expectations are originally non-existent. I never even tried to do keto in June (some days surely happened, more as time passed but I focused on my very first and best fruit season and if I eat carbs, I eat various kinds. that’s what I plan to change now. it probably won’t need huge efforts but maybe it’s my perennial overdeveloped baseless optimism).
I am always taking flower photos as its nice to look back and remember just what a little weedy looking plant it started out as, like the ugly duckling blossoming into a beautiful Swan 
I am glad you like to see them as I don’t have many people visit me. Whoever does turn up, usually medics of some sort, they are dragged into the garden whether they like plants or not hahaha:rofl:
i just think if I am getting so much pleasure from it then they are going to whether they like it or not ! Its nice to share stuff.
Thinking about it I could hide lots of new plants in the greenhouse haha I have put the smaller puny leftover bedding plants in there and they are getting stronger. Gives me something to keep me occupied, keeps me out of trouble so they say 
NEW JUNE THREAD OPENED
everyone jump on over 
Meat Chewin’ Carnivore June!! see ya’ll there
