Today’s meal was a decent chunk of this 2.3kg (5lb) pork roast. I never realised how delicious the rendered lard & caramelised scrapings from the bottom of the pan is, due to years of stupidly following stupid mainstream advice to avoid fat. It made a nice ZC gravy with plenty left over for tomorrow.

Thanks for the recipe! I will have to try it. That is always my biggest Dilemma when eating ZC is sauces. This one sounds really good!

It really was! I’m gonna make more this weekend for next week and may even have sausage and ‘gravy’.

Last night I made my first batch of cloud bread to make sandwiches as a trial run. This turned out quite well!
Lunch at work ZC options?

GREAT idea!! Just brown butter? Do you add something ? I can’t eat cheese but butter is fine!

One meal only again today, just not hungry. Dinner (I suppose it’s really breakfast eaten in the evening) was lamb souvlaki, cooked on rotisserie over coals & 2 scallops, from the fish n chip shop. The scallops come deep fried in batter but that batter comes off completely revealing the lovely inside. Sorry I’ve noticed too late my last 2 photos are blurry

I brown the butter, add a little rendered bacon fat, and then heavy cream. It’s a similar process of making ganache when you really think about it. If the mixture looks clumpy and separated add a little more heavy cream a bit at a time until it looks like gravy.

I’m the same way today. I ate, but didn’t really have a desire to eat. I would have been happy with the fancy hard cheese I got from the Amish Market, but I figured after fasting for so long, I should give my body something. But I think my body is like, “Naw, I’m good!” aaaaand I’m not really listening to it. LOL

Oh my goodness, Charmaine, I think if your body says I’m not hungry…don’t eat. I think it is awesome your body is telling you that it is not hungry.

Fiorella, I’ve decided to not eat again until I’m hungry. My bg has been over all higher since the day after ending the fast, with the highest being yesterday. I figured I have to up the fat and lower the protein. So, I’m going to not eat and restart. LOL

Yeah, that’s good. I think I have been trained all my life to eat 3 meals a day, and finish everything in my plate, that I lost listening to my body. So now, if not hungry, I don’t eat. Period. And that’s helping big time.

I am boring today. I’ve eaten 5 hard boiled eggs and a little cheese. I need to go to the store!

It’s definitely a process of relearning how to relate and work with my body.

I’m not sure about the amount I’m eating doing ZC. Yesterday I thought I ate enough but was so hungry before bed. I didn’t eat anything else and was really hungry this morning. I tried to eat more today, especially extra fat so I’m hoping the hunger won’t be there before bed again. I’m very very lean and active and I need to make sure I don’t lose more body fat. How do you know how much food is enough in the beginning? I’ve read some people eat 4 pounds of fatty meat in the transition to ZC! Is that too much?

4 pounds is not too much. Eat if hungry, don’t eat if not. It balances out eventually for most people, but 3-4 lbs for beginning is very common.

One meal today again - a tin of sardines with a small jar of anchovies plus leftover pork roast sliced up & heated in the fat from the original roasting, very satisfying.
