@Fangs: The food sounds nice then Yeah, never trust restaurants. I don’t remember such things here, I always hated sugary sauces with meat with a passion but it’s not really a thing here. Except mayo. I always disliked mayo but if someone makes it with a ton of sugar, that’s the worst.
I looked up Bernaise sauce and it sounds nice (and it has no sugar)! I would skip most of the butter, of course just like when I made “mayo”. Pretty useless for me so never did it again but it was nice.
I can’t try it today as I already made some… Definitely not gravy but it was based on gravy recipes.
Companies apparenty can’t make dried pineapples without sugar either. The fruit is loaded with sugar and they dry it out so it will be super sugary. It has sugar and little water, it doesn’t need sugar to be sweet or having a long shelf-life… No idea what they add it… Scary.
Sweet potatoes are quite sweet, indeed. Too sweet for me now in bigger amounts (like a whole smaller one), of course But it was a nice 1-2 years while I ate it occasionally (it became a common thing in Hungary not super long ago and I already did on/off keto back then)… Alvaro isn’t into it so we never eat it now.
I will make some photos soon, it’s 3pm and my satiation starts to deteriorate but I cooked my meal 1.5 hours ago. The main part of my first meal is very similar nowadays: scrambled eggs with some processed meat in it (prosciotto crudo yesterday, pig farm sausage today) and pork shoulder roast. I can’t imagine to get bored of it in the near future, it’s just perfect.
I am very determined to eat carnivore today. In the last days there were circumstances and Alvaro at home, tempting me (not actively just through eating). At least I always start with proper food and a lot of it. And I could test what happens if I eat the worst possible way I can. Nothing noticeable but it’s wasteful to massively overeat every day (I didn’t track but I obviously did that, I only not overeat when I barely eat from my own viewpoint) and my body surely isn’t the happiest but it says nothing (first. later it would scream bloody murder as it should but I couldn’t go that far if I wanted, probably). I think all the meat and my low-carb past balanced out things, I feel pretty good physically. Minus the stubborn backache.
(Sorry I still come here but it helps to mitigate the problems and remind me of what I should do. Compulsions hit hard lately and that’s bad. I want to be free and choose the most hedonistic route for me.)
I still have meat in the freezer but tomorrow we visit a town and do some shopping. Pork shoulders on sale again… Too fatty for my tiny energy need though longer term carnivore probably would help with that. Maybe not enough, I want much meat and many eggs nowadays… Oh well, my next month surely won’t be so great but afterwards things get loads better and easier. Of course I do whatever I can until then too, I just consider it impossible to stay on carnivore for long at a time. After Christmas it will drastically change.
Alvaro still don’t have any idea if he has Covid. It matters little, actually he will go to work on Monday as enough time passed. Oh but it matters, if he is positive, we won’t go to goose watching and shopping. I didn’t even think about much of the possibility… And then they will test me too, probably so I am rooting for it not to be the case. But it’s not a big deal, Alvaro says who had 2 different tests a few days ago, one is nothing, the other was worse but pretty much survivable even for me, it seems.
