Hi Cathy, I'm a dirty carnivore. I haven't had any major health problems, but now understand where all those tummy aches were coming from. I occasionally eat some broccoli, pickles and nuts. Lately I have been try to stick to meat and eggs as I went on a several month SAD bender over the winter. When people question my food choices I try to say something like, I have learned that I don't feel well when I eat XYZ. Kinda hard to continue to pressure someone to eat something that makes them unwell. My why is to thrive mentally and physically till I die. I have seen too many older women just breathing and eating, but not actually living for decades before they die. I'd love to avoid that.

How are things going lately?

Me a too!

Have you had any issues with extra hunger after drinking it. I find that teas with fruity flavors make me hungry.

Brown butter only if you want to consume a stick a day. No joke

4 hours ago, The S. said: I can relate to this^

I just ordered it. I have to say I have heard several sources speak on protein shakes being bad because it's powdered and too easily/quickly digested.

Yes, those creamy milk drinks. Carnation instant breakfast gonna loose it... in an instant 💩

Looking good!

No

I have magnesium lotion.

So true, I wish I could get my family involved!

I wish it was painful. My cheat last year lasted many months. Today is Day 5 again.

I do this with books also. I had a bunch of diet books and I put them in the recycling.

Check your heavy cream ingredients most have carageenan --pisses me off.

I am guessing most people eat regular bacon from the store. There are some here lucky enough to cure their own, but don't sweat it. The amount of sugar is neglible and as long as you are just eating a few slices and not half the package. 😉 Many will suggest having it onhand. I have just discovered cod liver. It's mostly fat and if you like fish it is absolutely delightful. I picked it up for $2.50 a can. One can has about 800 calories. So it's. Some that could be used as a side flavor. Laura Spath talks about having side meat, like having two or three items on the plate. Dr Sean O'Mara recommends having several fermented dairy and veggies. Ferments are cheap and "easy" to make at home. I am just starting with sauerkraut, but as I collect more kimchi jars from the store I am going to try kvass and other veggie ferments, probably cauliflower next.

Nix the almond milk and chia seeds for sure. Some spices are okay.

I think fasting is the best seasoning for food boredom. I try to imagine, when I get a specific craving, that my body just released some patch of fat that stored the thing I am craving. So you ate melon at one time,then it got stored as fat, now it is being released and it's circulating so that's why you get the craving. Not science just a hunch. So just let it go.

Pot roast is so much better in cast iron Dutch oven. I have followed the same recipe in both the slow cooker and instant pot and they don't come close to the cast iron!

I use baking soda, or just a wet brush... sometimes I use arm and hammer

I have been following the Dr Jack Kruse crowd and just learned that we can get energy from the sun too! Just like plants!
