    Absolutely. And don't worry about a stall. The scale can be a big fat liar. Combine this assessment with the mirror, your belt, your performance in the gym, and the way you feel. The muscle will weigh heavier, the muscle will also slim you down and keep it down. IMO strength training is an absolute must when you seek to lose weight and KEEP that weight.

    This was very helpful. Thanks for the detailed response. I'd like the ground beef to be about 75/25. So the bacon you add is raw then? I'll definitely stick with the Kitchenaid as the reliability is unparalleled.

    Update: So I eventually went down all the way to 132 lbs. (60kg) from my original weight of 148 lbs. (67kg). All that in a year. Might not seem that much but consider I was already at a low body fat percentage. Just for reference, I am 5'8 (5'9 on my driver's license, but that is a story full of vanity and wishful thinking). And although I felt fine at 132 lbs. -not weak or anything- my face started to look a little gaunt. Again, I did not look unhealthy, and did not feel unhealthy. Nevertheless, my aim was to go back at least to 135 lbs. (61.2kg) as that was my weight goal, my cut off. I tried and tried but nothing would bring my weight back up, even eating 2700 calories a day (it shows how flawed the cico model really is). I figured out what finally brought me back to 135 lbs. Milk. I was drinking hot chocolate during the festivities of Christmas. Not laden with sugar, just stevia. And that did the trick. End of update. Carry on.

    I've got questions! Is it cheaper, is the juice worth the squeeze? What kind of cuts are best to grind? Best appliance to use? (I've got a Kitchenaid) What is the meaning of life?

    I am glad to have a gas stove.

    You may have to take magnesium and potassium as a supplement with regards to tendons and joints feeling tight, crampy. You may also have to add a bit of butter with those steaks, to reduce cravings and pangs. Low occurrence of bowl movement seems to be the norm in the beginning. Especially when jumping in. It could take up to 90 days for your body to figure this out. That said, I do not believe there's any danger. When we eat carbs, we eat a lot of stuff our bodies do not process - a lot more waste on a high carb diet, especially with fruits and vegetables. Also consider the lack of fiber. If you really need the fiber, an ounce of dark chocolate may give you some relief. As for hydration, as you lose more water weight, you hold on to much less water, and hydration is more of a challenge. It's something you'll get use to and also sorts itself out. That is just my opinion, based on a year of this stuff. Good luck to you. You're listening to your body, and that is an excellent start. To add: I've reduced my inflammation close to zero after a year. That was my main goal as well, not so much the weight.

    As a Dutch person, it's my national duty to own one and it's great. It was a little pricey but it's something that lasts forever.

    I think you just did!

    I am back at 135 after the holidays and my journey from the wagon to the ground. But this weight feels perfect.

    I can eat a piece of candy -I won't but I can, experience the "high" without falling back into permanently eating it. Because the response to sugar is now so much more profound, I can tell what my body is trying to do. I become an observer rather than a consumer. The purpose of eating has also changed for me, it is no longer pure entertainment, but fuel and sustenance, not just a full belly.

    Eating sweet stuff, we have to now add the dopamine aspect into the mix. This chemical response is different for everyone, but explains why some people need to abstain entirely from anything sweet. Your dopamine response has likely nothing to do with diet or eating.

    I use cast iron and ceramic, the right kinds. Ceramic is my lazy option, and is fairly safe to use. I do not cook on high heat anyways.

    The good ol' dairy and sugar combo. A punch in the gut for most people.
  16. Orweller
    That worked for me sir lol

    I'll take my chances lol. Not that I eat a lot of it but it's a great tool to add flavor, and fat to a sometimes monotone diet. It also helps me to keep weight on when I get too lean.
  18. Orweller
    Well, there's that.
  19. Orweller
    I eat that almost everyday. Imagine yourself eating chili, or soup. Isn't that the same? I do add spices though, taco style. I add a little cheese and sour cream sometimes as well.

    I have never seen anyone ever utter these words before. Thank you for that lol.

    How some people get into carnivore.
  22. Orweller
    In some cases it's a do or die situation.

    We all look for our own solution, and that is anything but cookie cutter. I absolutely agree. The example of your mother's case, plausibly with dire, tragic, consequences, is a good example.
  24. Orweller
    Fun fact: I did in fact jump right in like seal team 6. Without any consequences. No one will accuse me of being boring! lol

    This is the right approach, especially when your kidneys are healthy and your carb intake is less than 45 or so grams a day. Salt becomes a problem when you are high carb/sugar. Then also consider the state of ketosis, the fewer liquid your body holds onto, etc.
