Thank you for explaining that so well. I’ve been enjoying significant weight loss this month, but I’m also noticing that as I’m tracking my macros, there is may also be some inadvertent calorie restriction. Not because I’m trying to stay lower cal, but I’m just not that hungry. Now that my weight loss seems like it is slowing down/stalling for the past 2-3 days (as of course it probably needs to do from time to time to balance out), the idea of “eating more meat” is messing with my head just a little bit. Just old tapes, even the keto tapes about not eating until noon or intermittent fasting, because sometimes now I will wake up & be peckish for some breakfast.
I’ve got 6 more days of the beef, salt, & water. Still feel pretty good…wondering what next steps should be? Should I continue for another 30 days? I’ve been strict about the elimination part of this, so I don’t want to waste the opportunity of being able to test foods out as I add them back in. What would be a good “protocol” to do this? I’ll hold off on the dairy for now, but should I try adding eggs or other meats first? and how long before I add the next trial item? Open to thoughts & recommendations on this. I have to admit I am looking forward to a little more carni variety, but the simplicity of the beef only has been helpful.
. I find that what’s been better for me with my tummy issues is eat every few hours. It keeps me full and it’s small amounts… But a massive meal hurts my tummy.
. Ok… i was weird and put a tad of vegimite on salami…
. That was weird…but I liked it.
. I bought new burger pattys that are BBQ flavor. I am still too scared to try liver… But eggs with cheese are my go to. I will admit… if I crave fruit. I bought fruit herbal tea. It’s got no carbs or sugar. It’s been a weird September…certainly a slap for me…
. Bring on October… But I’ll be 32.
I mean who are we fooling here, we are only fooling ourselves so…what I did and it is one reason I do rely on processed stuff early in zc transition. I didn’t like cold steak, cold meat leftovers were ick to me, I didn’t want to fry a steak or meat/seafood whatever every time I craved so I HAD TO HAVE GO TO immediate zc food. I went processed. My salami. My beef sticks. My processed meats like Talyor Ham product and link sausage which I could flash fry in a split second and eat fast. Of course now I can flash fry a steak in a minute and eat the whole darn thing 
, well as we get over adaption times of course!!
Okay, I had nothing of the work except cleaning them when we cooked some… Dissecting animals is interesting, I saw things people who just buy chicken in the supermarket don’t.
And for some reason, I drink extremely much water. At some point I worried that not drinking coffee will plummet my calories as I always will be full with water and with my reduced urges to eat, it matters. Without coffee, I drink lots of water all the time, even in the first half of the day. My thirst is annoying sometimes, it always was extremely strong but at least I have zero problems against plain water. I had times when I found getting most of my water intake using plain water a bit boring. A thirsty person totally appreciates good water and I have good one. I drank better tap water in my life but it’s superior to most tap waters in the country, I am sure. I have some experience. My childhood place had very bad water, I couldn’t drink it without an unusually strong thirst. Maybe that’s why I want to drink is differently so often. Well, not anymore. Water is good. I still like some variety now and then but it’s not nearly as important as before. Winter probably will raise my desire to have something warm… And I still can’t make soups without vegetables, I almost never even have proper bony animal parts! 
Well, spiced egg milk is an option… I need my soups, I miss them when 5 days pass without eating any. But it’s hard when I don’t have meat for them and don’t want vegetables… I just need flavor and water. And poached eggs, usually.
