  1. And when in low carb , you get your fuel from your body fat storage via ketones, the better the longer you fast. Ketones are excellent fuel. Dietary nutrients are not necessary for a few days when you are properly fat adapted -I usually do a 48 hour fast every week,no food on Monday. Otherwise OMAD. Tuesdays are always wonderful "Superhuman-days" for me. I wake up early, no hunger and lots of effortless exercise all day. Just great. Water and electrolytes. I measure ketones morning / evening, they go lower during the no food day. Glucose goes up. And I have many heart probs like failure and continuous Afib.
  2. After a nice,Superhuman-feeling 48 hour fast, in one hour intervals: Coconut-chilli-shrimp soup: Feta to add fat content up: Kassler salad. (Pork neck). Maybe some greek 10% yogurt... it's just that carbs are nine and I feel fine. 75 % fat day as usual.
  3. That is 81 % fat in calories.
  4. Where were you? I have been to Munchen and Berlin. We have this german "Lidl" -market chain here. They stock good european sausages and cheese.
  5. Some lunch. I'm trying to get the fat content up with olives and cheese. That is our "normal ham", 2,9% fat...
  6. Sauna Sunday so I put some chorizo- style sausages on the stove:
  7. I'm the opposite,my hunger goes away in OMAD. I think I'm not eating enough when I trust my "hunger" -but those calorie tables are for carb eaters I guess...? I get less than 10 g carbs per day. My energy comes 75 % from fat. Anyway,I'm feeling good and weight, waist and fat % are all going steadily down. And blood pressure. Blood ketones were 2,9 and glucose 4,6 today. Belly will take some time... I've been here before.
  8. My humble guess would be Sous Vide. Nearly all beef houses use it for perfect,repeatable results. I did SV pork ribs today.
  9. Store bought for now. I have made my own sometimes,too. We have a very good sauerkraut ( and Kimchi ) manufacturer here. No additives or preservatives, not pasteurised. Just cabbage,carrot and sea salt.
  10. I do the same butter condiment thing. And because I eat some salads,I pour the rendered fat on the salad as dressing, say, bacon and egg salad.
  11. I eat butter. I also take sips from olive oil. I´s been a habit to get a better fat/protein ratio. Our meat is so lean here in Finland, average beef has 3% of fat. Some pork may have 10%. And that comes with lots of protein,too much for me. I like about 80% energy from fat to lose weight. Anyway,I eat a spoonful every now and then, maybe five spoonfuls /day to get about 35 grams extra fat. I do that especially on meaty days,I eat cheese too and for example our Feta cheese has EIGHT times more fat and much less protein than beef. On OMAD I only eat butter in the evening,during the two eating hours. I consider a spoonful of butter a meal...
  12. Boiled Bratwurst dinner. Also some sauerkraut - I take a spoonful of sauerkraut every day except when fasting. It may or may not be helpful with gut health. Probiotics. Mustard and ketchup are tasty here, I make my own so no added sugar. I use them seldom and sparingly.
  13. My body is the same,and my brain,too. Very natural. But sometimes I end up eating too little this way so I add a lunch every now and then. This was called "Warrior Diet" 20 years ago. I remember some moose hunts,physically demanding, when other hunters were munching sandwiches every couple of hours, wondering how come I eat nothing all day. A good ketosis / OMAD worked wonders even back then. Very enjoyable days.
  14. Found some Entrecote' (Rib eye) yesterday.
  15. For a second I wondered whether I should be sorry or happy for you. I decided to be happy. Congrats! I would not mind the same happen to me, I have a pair of new motorcycle boots that are just a tiny little bit too snug. I´ve been trying to stretch them while cycling on my spinning bike.
  16. My schedule goes to OMAD very naturally. It was mostly like that all January. Now,last week I had a 48 hour fast easily and enjoyed it. I also lost a couple of pounds of body fat that week so I figured I might skip all mondays like that. I was able to button my test jeans today,two weeks ago they were 2-3" tight. A fast seems to kick my metabolism back on track. While fasting,I like to plan for tomorrow's dinner. Found some entrecote', it's marinating now.
  17. January BP trend was amazing. I was completely off the BP meds for the last two weeks. Carbs average under ten g/day.
  18. Well gout IS EXACTLY that inflammation in the big toe. I spent the whole summer -23 laying down in the garden because of that. Got a nice tan though. I can not take standard painkillers because I´m on blood thinners. Just suffer.
  19. If you ever get gout,which I hope you won´t,you will stop laughing at that. It completely invalidizes you, being not able to walk or even stand up. Or sleep for that matter.
  20. Today was time to eat dinner, I had a 48 hour mini-fast. Water only. I got 1000 kcal exercise today too,felt great all day. Hopefully this meal compensates for most of it. I did not calculate yet. Not enough fat, too many carbs, I know. I even forgot to add butter... I just did not want bacon now.
