When I went to Walmart last week, they had 3 lamb steaks on markdown! You best believe all 3 came home with me :joy:

My daughter won the cutting board a couple years ago at a bingo game haha! It makes the best plate!

you are finding so very good real insights into you. food will improve your thinking, CLEAN eating vs toxic junk in us will help, not one doubt, but at that same time, research a few things, like how to mediate, come to peace with world issues that drag us down and more. I am doing just that. ZC works wonders for sure and I never doubt that part of our physical body being top form, but we ‘are a global’ world and ‘global’ news of devastating accounts we see all the time. Heck I won’t watch the 11pm new anymore LOL for my own sanity before bedtime cause the bad bad bad is overwhelming. Think self care and all it takes for you at all times to make it work :slight_smile: you will do great!!

FAB POST KD!

Today’s nomz:

Lunch: 2 SMASHED hamburgers with gouda, then while prepping my snack for training 2~ more smashed hamburgers (I was making 3, then ate a lil over half of what I made lololol)

Snaccs: 1~ smashed hamburger and 2 gouda cheese sticc

Dinner: 2 smashed hamburgers

OMG. Guys. Last night I tried smashing up one of my burgers in the pan while I cooked it and wow. Today I did the same for all my burgers and…IT’S AMAZING. The crispy salty bits you get are SO satisfying. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Also I didn’t drink ANY diet coke today :ok_hand:

edit: just clarifying that “smashed” burgers are basically just hamburgers broken up into sm0l pieces

My mom always had a pot of coffee brewing in the morning, and of course, I was hungry in the mornings. I have a Pavlovian response to the smell of coffee. The smell makes me hungry.

(Edith) #166

So far, I’m sticking to my no Diet Coke pledge, as well.

(Karnivore) #167

Nice! Good luck, I need to stick to it too.

(JJ) #168

I am with you guys too, was having Coke Zero daily pre ZC. Have gone cold turkey and have survived. I am still drinking coffee though, no plans to give that away.

Ate out for the first time today since being zc. Eggs Benny with bacon, had them serve the eggs on slices of haloumi cheese instead of bread. So good!

I had been saying I was taking it easy, but this afternoon decided I would hike 16km. 800m ascent/descent. It felt awesome. Was still full from eggs Benny , just had a coffee before turning back toward my car. Devoured epic proportion of beef fillet once home though.

#169

and that’s the way its done :slight_smile: nice to eat our fill when we want it and feel awesome doing it LOL

very cool on your hike. I hiked alot yesterday also and when home later for dinner I attacked a massive Tbone. feels good to have energy, want to pulvervize your food and feel wonderful after eating all that food right? :slight_smile:

#170

heading home today.

shorty trip, well, was very short LOL

had alot of fun here, stayed zc, got some R&R and a change of scenery from the humdrum of home.

food yesterday was
2 sausage patty
cold chicken breast leftovers
cold pork loin leftovers
massive Tbone steak, yum

Funny but ‘cold food’ is sneaking up on me. I was always a hot hot hot meat/seafood person but now I find me eating more and more cold stuff. And liking it LOL

I cooked chicken to take for grab and go and have been eating it cold and loving it. My leftover pork in the old days would require a microwave warmup a little, but now, nope ate that baby cold out of the fridge. And I like it :slight_smile: At home a few weeks ago I ate a cold leftover cheeseburger and loved it…hmmm, heading into year 4 of zc and finally I am loving cold food. I mean I could eat it but preferred hot, now the cold stuff is truly taking center stage more. Huh, goes to show things can easily change for us as we hold plan :slight_smile:

drive home not bad, then laundry and unpack rv. ugh. drudgery LOL

great zc day to everyone!

I made a big brisket overnight in the oven. It was ready well before I was, so even though I wasn’t all that hungry, I ate anyway. It is the fattiest brisket ever, and the rub I put on it was a bit too salty, so I didn’t even finish what you see here. If I can make it to tomorrow I will, but if I have to eat more brisket this evening (since I ate so early and didn’t eat all that much), I won’t beat myself up over it. I don’t know if my family will touch it this evening :joy::joy: it was very delicious though, even if too salty on the end pieces (all my pieces were end pieces…)
My HR manager never called yesterday, so my Bible verse is still in my signature. And @Fangs I did address the other situation with my family yesterday. We’ll see how that turns out.

Slow cooked oxtails in slow cooker for so many hours… started cooking them about 3/4pm and continued over night till I got up for work yesterday at 4.45am. Took them to work with my other foodie stuff… cheese selection, chorizo and pork sausages (14 hour shift) anyway I saved the meat for the early evening meal and although very tasty they were so fiddly to eat at work as we can only use plastic utensils. How frustrating it all was and i only managed about half of one of them as i was getting in such a mess! So this morning i have eaten as much meat as i could get off them and now they are being made into broth. I learnt, many years ago from my gran, not to waste anything! Now looking forward to having a drink of the broth later this evening. Meanwhile I have 2 yummy beef ribs in the oven, slowly braising in the spicy stock leftover from the oxtails in readiness for my weekend on shift :slight_smile: may pop the rolled lamb shoulder pieces I bought with the ribs into slow cooker later as an extra for my weekend shifts mmmm yummy.

#173

you send ALL that beautiful salty meat to me LOL
I am a salt lover, I would certainly love that and pic is nice!!

and HUGS on all that other stuff, all we can do is chat and see what goes down I guess :slight_smile:

#174

food so far and might be done for the day

home now, shorty drive

2 sausage pattys in rv

on the road…omg 2 double cheeseburger patties…so 4 of them.

sitting on my gut like I swallowed a freight train my gut feels so heavy.
I ate 1 double fine, then the second I gagged down mostly…me and fast food burgers do not get along.

got a steak for later but I don’t know…might be ‘leave the guts’ alone the rest of the day and see what tomorrow brings going down for me here LOL

(Daisy) #175

I did eat the other piece I didn’t eat this morning

Hey peoplezzz

I didn’t break at the restaurant! I got black coffee and asked for some milk (twice lol)
For food, I got a bacon bleu burger with no bun, and gave my mum my side :)))))) then we were still hungry so we got a pizza (light sauce)…and I ate the cheese and meat off the top :joy: Granted, I did eat a bit of tomato sauce, but that is WAY better than eating the crust!!! It was also so so delicious!

Today’s eats:

Breakfast: skipped

Lunch: 3 smashed up hamburgers

Snack: Smoked salmon fillet with black peppah

Dinner: LOTSSS OF COFFEE and a lil bit of milk, bacon blue cheese burger and the top of a pizza :heart_eyes::joy:

Drinks: seltzer water, black coffee and teeny bit of milk :ok_hand: and water

No diet coke yayyyy! Very happy about this :smile: very tasty noms today!

(JJ) #177

Sure does feel awesome and do satisfying! Glad you had a great hike too, Fangs.

#178

good carnivore morning

my guts cleared and I did end up eating a nice NY strip steak last night and then I was still hungry and had taylor ham to boot
LOL

And I hit my scale this morning. I did not gain one ounce, or lose one ounce. It was exactly the same the day I left in that same exact number on the scale! I AM THRILLED cause even a short vacay trip like this usually I come back with about a 1 lb. gain of just darn bloat ya know…not this time. So yea, I feel very more controlled and tight in my zero carb.

today will be usual steak and eats…the store has big old nice chuck roasts on a lower sale, gonna grab at least 3-4 for the freezer. I can picture on in the crockpot and just eating it up :slight_smile:

Unpack rv, have to buy a new pool cover online and get it shipped here, that wind shredded the old one and time to deal with that.

On vacay I dealt with like nothing, at home ‘I have to deal with stuff’ Grrrrr HA

Very cool! You did great. And yea even if you have to eat a top of a pizza you did fab cause that tiny bit of sauce means nothing at all in the big scheme of things, but that crust is to be avoided for sure :wink:

you know I can’t do that anymore. When I eat the top off pizza I get very bloated now. I am assuming it is the mozzerella cheese that is super salty and not settling well with me. I had to dump it and I was an insane pizza person truly, but now it is like, damn I am leaning toward truly hating pizza…omg I never thought I would say those words HA

K you are doing fab, you keep rockin’ it out. Eating out is a biggie, but we all can do it zero carb easily…boy I give all my sides to my family and they love it when I do, your Mom won out on that one LOL

#179

It settled down quite well with back to controlling my own food sources. But they headache lingered for a day.

Does this show how nutritionally inflexible people become who follow zero carb carnivore?

Did we ever talk about mixing soda water (plain bubbled water) with a splash of balsamic vinegar?

With palate taste changes on low carb many things can taste sweet. Balsamic vinegar and water tasters like cola. Not exactly like cola. But cola enough. I think Dr. Cywes mentioned it once as a replacement for cola drinks. The added benefit is that vinegar is a short chain fatty acid. Hmm, that’s right there may have been something about vinegar that you could not have?

it shows what ‘additive foods or grains’ does to you very clearly. And it is worse when one does not eat enough meat in a day also. When our bodies are low in nutrition/food intake from our carnivore eating, what we do eat of ‘other stuff’ will effect us tougher. Cause eating less while the body wants to heal means it can’t handle it as well either.

One is not creating food insensititives while on zc…what it is doing is showing you what this food is doing to your body. It shows the full truths. You are ‘so tight’ on your menu intake that when you ‘add crap that you might react to’, darn right you are going to get straight reactions from that food.

Cause there are many carnivore people who can eat stuff and do fine, but some foods will show as true misery to that individual.

I can eat mushrooms and do fine. I can eat carrots and taters and do fine. I can eat alot of carby veg and do fine but alot of them nail me to the wall easily, like lettuce, omg my guts go wonky. Leafy greens kill my guts. Cauli and brocc twist up my guts. straight sugar like candy, my gut grumbles and I crave horribly. I eat grains I tend to ‘have more bathroom ick issues’ cause it is a gut wrencher for me.

So depending on what ya ate, maybe MSG in that gravy or seasonings and seasoned meat? or who knows what chemicals in there and yea wheat is usually in those commercial products, you could have gotten an ill effect from any of that.

So you can’t put it as ‘zc is flipping me to be overly sensitive’ but it is showing you real truths of what you do eat…plus take ‘processed stuff’ over fresh food you might eat can show a big diff. for many of us.

You take X amt of cocaine every day. A poison to the body in truth.
Live on that for years with days of upping it and never lowering it…but you do up it from time to time :wink:, the go on total cold turkey and you cut that habit. You clean out this from your body. Now 6 months later you take that same small dose. You will react. You will react in a more negative way cause that poison just entered a ‘cleaner body’ and you are gonna feel that poison and what it is doing to you in full force. You won’t be feeling that poison masked or covered up in any way with other foods/factors entering your body. It is a clean body and a poison. boom, reactions will be very clear.

I know you have eaten some fruit and a few other things you did fine on right? well this food showed you how much your body hated it.

oh and remember I just ate 4 meat patties with cheese from McDonalds fast food and felt it in the guts too FB! not only lower quality food probably but my cheese was that plastic overly processed crap too and I never eat fast food burgers cause they give my guts this reaction. But I got over it fast also whereas before it would take longer to ‘get thru my system’, I can only assume being a healthier healed body, my body ‘handled it faster’ too and also who knows ‘what that food touched’?, bit of icky food handling and more bacteria or whatever in those burgers I got, I don’t know on that but ya never know LOL When I eat my own food or know someone who cooked fresh foods or a ‘good quality restaurant’ I don’t have issues so?

oh and remember, carnivore ‘is the ultimate elimination’ menu so when ya add back ‘questionable foods’ we know big truths about our guts in the end of it all LOL I know I found out in some tough ways LOL
