My favorite way to prepare eggs are eggs over easy with bacon and lots of beaf suet so i can dip the fat into the yokes and becan it's so good.

While digging in the freezer today I found a bag of frozen veggies from many years ago. Those are now at the bottom of our compost pit

My mom would make those for me as a kid. She called them "eggs in a frame". This was in the 1960's and the bread was some type of Wonder bread or something equally as bad.

When making scrambled eggs I like to prepare them "Gordan Ramsey" style. I don't care for the person but I do like the way he make his scrambled eggs . I didn't see pickled eggs on the choices. I do like to make those also and I usually keep a jar of those in the fridge. Very handy to have on hand for a quick meal.

I’m flying into Plattsburgh on the 19th, so I won’t be going through. Another time perhaps!

You should tell your story. There are others out there that could probably benefit from it

I have zero desire for any vegetable. I realize I only enjoyed salads because of the dressing. I stupidly ate three pieces of breaded deep fried chicken tenders on Sunday and couldn't work up the energy to work out on Monday. So lessen learned. Congrats, keep going Outdoorstom!

around in my head......

Some days I feel like I have a pretty good GRASP and then somedays it is like all this information is bouncing around un my heads, with a ton or useless information as well, and within that mental demolition derby I think I lose that GRASP. I'm a fan of the book, no doubt. As I read, it was like I was saying, "Yep, yep to that, knew that, yep" and then the topic of 'eating protein to get stronger/bigger'. The 8-9lns is not the end of the world. I feel like a slight adjustment here and there and I would be back down but I'm getting to the point where the weight is just a number. We should think that way and the cale should not be the real measure of success or improvement, but it like "calories" for some, it is a part of the brainwashing that holds on at times. LOL Nice video on the other post. I watched a bit of it and then the chickens were coming off the grill. I had to have priorities. LOL We did chicken, pork belly and sausages on the grill. My son is working on timing as some cook is coming up in a month or so. I'm like that old broke down dog sitting at the end of the table hoping someone drops something. LOL (but at the same time it is my cabin, my cook porch and my wood, so I 'partake' as he practices). Scott

Hey Tom, nice job on the 90 days. You are through the initial tough phase of cravings, and well on to where you are seeing many benefits! Most excellent. Ill tell ya, nothing makes me smile quite as much as someone walking into my shop that I havent seen in a while, and they look at me and say "dang! You lost a good bit of weight!" I dont get to Florida much, but sounds like you may be headed up my way soon. Stop in and say howdy if you go through Oneonta!

It really boils down to what the body can tolerate or what your mindset is. Many people will reintroduce certain things one at a time to see how it affects them. If there’s a change then they know it’s forever banned but if their body doesn’t react then they can keep it. My only indulgence is jalapenos. I love jalapeno poppers and will eat a few a couple of times a year. They don’t bother me but I don’t eat them very often either. I’ve also reintroduced some seasonings but again , sparingly. For me it’s all about the mindset. I’m 99% pure because I came from a really bad place and have no desire to ever go back there again. I want nothing but nutritious food going into my body. I don’t see the point of eating something that my body doesn’t need on a regular basis. We all have different physiology’s with different needs so we have to follow our own path in this journey.

You don’t need the book, you just need to listen to yourself, lol! You really have a complete understanding of how this works. The book does sound like it does a good job of putting things in perspective.

Yes my name is Geoff. I'm wondering if your doctor took you off of the metoprolol too soon. Mine took me off of it because my BP was getting dangerously low but it’s my understanding that it’s best to slowly ween off of heart meds. You might need to start taking a half dose or a full dose every other day. I was taking a full dose aspirin every evening before I went to bed but I’ve stopped taking it as well. You might look into taking a magnesium supplement such as Magnesium Glutamine. Magnesium is very beneficial for the heart. Yes I do dairy but limited. I go through about a stick a day of butter and I’ll have heaping tablespoon of my homemade yogurt everyday. On the rare occasions when I eat cheese I try to make sure it’s made from whole milk.

The corned beef and eggs look great, but I'll pass on the rest

I've been drinking decaf coffee for years already. To me it was something I just enjoyed consuming. I quit it because of what it does to my bladder reactions. Can't even go for a walk unless I know where all the bushes are to pee behind . When I don't have it, then things are just fine. My wife still is drinking it, so I can still enjoy the smell of it in the morning.

Hey Rodney. I live outside of Massena.

My heart rate was 40 avg but now actually high at 95 avg since off Metoprolol for 6 days now, and still very irregular beating and palpitations, so I’m hoping and praying that will normalize, and the same for U as well, let me know how it goes! So you’re doing Carnivore? Where U at in NY, I lived in Upstate for 20 yrs (Binghamton) near the PA border and spent a lot of time in Brooklyn and Queens doing Ministry work, am in Louisiana now..

Oh not at all, that is how I found U on here! Another fellow replied here and said he’s been having the same problem as myself, must not be uncommon! Your real name is Geoff correct? Since getting off the Metoprolol now for 6 days my pulse is no longer in the 40’s and is actually around 95 avg, and I’m still having very irregular beat and palpitations and they have me on a monitor for a week.. Do U or did U take low dose aspirin? Do U do dairy?

The book arrived yesterday and while the pork belly was cooking, I read maybe 1/2 to 3/4. It is an easy read, and I really like the formatting. Each page or so has a subject matter at the top and that area is discussed/expounded upon by the author. It is almost like reading from a forum where the thoughts, ideas or discussions can carry all over the place yet remain under a 'big umbrella'. (if that makes any sense at all). Maybe it is just me, but sometimes I learn something I already thought I knew. I tried carnivore, I like it, and it has worked for me, then I morphed away from carnivore it in its intended form in pursuit of something I thought was bettering myself I went down the wrong path. I ate high fat and moderate proteins to start. And experienced all kinds of successes with minimal to no setbacks. As of late I have increased my protein grams per day to hit as close to 200 grams per day as I can. It has been hard as I can no longer easily eat the amounts of food it takes to get to 200 grams of protein. (Huge benefit from carnivore). I am getting stronger just by counting plates at the gym and I can see and feel some growth in my arms (biceps/triceps) and the man-boobs are almost gone and I can feel muscle in the lower to mid pectorals. (I'm happy with that) The kicker is that I have gained maybe 8-9 pounds over the last month or so. This an example of gluconeogenesis at its finest. In order to get to 200 grams on some days I eat an extra couple chicken breasts and on some days, I use a protein shake. On my read meats and the pork belly this week I am probably at a slightly higher fat to protein ratio than I need, which is good, but by the time I factor in the lean cuts of chicken breasts and the protein shake I am heavy on the protein and fall short on the fats. I didn't think I was missing by a ton but as I look at it, I'm off by quite a bit. All that extra protein that is not being used to build and recover muscle is turned to sugar and not much different metabolically than eating another snack cake. Then couple that with the fact I'm working out in the morning, walking and then coming home and eating a 'post work out loading of protein' meal. I'm already in the 'dawn effect' with daily glucose numbers doing a spike and making even more glucose available to the body, which I am sure is going 'whoo-hoo" with the sugar rush. I would like to think the 8-9lbs was actual lean muscle mass but that is not realistic, plus, I had to let my belt out one notch at work, so I know my belly muscles didn't grow that much. Babbling on, but this very article/thought was in the book, and I was thinking, "this guy is talking directly to me". It is like I had all those facts running around in my brain but the actual learning from application was just outside my grasps. I have been doing the wrong thing for the right reasons so now I have to find the sweet spot somewhere in the middle. Babbling, like I said, but it is a really good book, a great read and shipped to your door for $5. Can't beat it. Scott

That's awesome. I quit coffee but still have a hot tea and some artificially sweetened caffeinated beverages throughout the day. That's really the next addiction I need to focus on. I would be curious if I would see better and faster results with water alone.

Slurp it up, lol. I actually do depending on what I am cooking. If it renders out of a burger I will probably scrape it off and toss it in the can. But when I am making tacos, I don't drain the fat. When I make breakfast sausage or bacon, I will literally lick the plate clean

Congratulations on the weight loss so far. Carnivore gets easier as you go, at least that is what I found. I still have the rare keto treat, but not very often and never anything worse than a keto level.

Congratulations on the 90 days. Best wishes on the next 90......... Scott

4 eggs with leftover pork belly from last night. Scott
