But this time your going for a 36 hour giver take. I'd start with a one or two eggs however you want them. Or....... just play it by ear. 🙂

Remember when you do start eating again to not eat a big normal meal. Work your way into it. Give your system time to adjust.

Go for it!!!

I sometimes go from midnite till midnite, till lunch or supper. depends on if I'm working or not. My circadian rhythm runs about 6 hours past normal folks. Been that way forever.

Good job ob the mustard and sardines. 🙂 I had cheese omelet for lunch today and leftover ribs tonight. If your gonna make it till Sat evening, ya might as well wait till breakfast or lunch Sunday. That would be 36 hours or more. Don't watch the clock. Space out the things you can take without breaking a fast. Water/coffee/tea/vitamins/etc. Just go untill ya just say "I'm done".

I'm not sure whether to say Yum or Ewww 🤪 Sardines go with mustard. Eggs go with cheese.

Since I was at work and they think I have to eat or starve, I had a three egg and cheese omelet for lunch. Then by quitting time, the pork ribs the owner had been smoking all day were finally done. So I brought home a slab of fall off the bone ribs. No sauce, just smokey goodness.

I did spend a couple nights studying up on fat adaptation. I remember reading that one you get into ketosis, it will go up. And as you level out, so will the ketones. I suppose it's another visual reward for eating right. Instead of lights and buzzers, it's your stick turning pink or purple. 🙂

Thought I'd start a thread that I've seen one like it go for 50 some pages. Tonight I'm having thinly sliced beef tongue with salt. I got a new frozen meat slicer and I'm liking it. Last night was thinly sliced pork loin fillet. Feel free to post away....

Eat everything on your plate! Think of all those starving kids overseas. ... I later credited Mom to why I got overweight. I became a human garbage disposal. Always cleaning my plate. ha ... Hope she don't roll over in her grave and give me a swat. 🙂

Anyone have any experience with ketone test sticks? What I can gather from watching vids is it shows when you have excess ketones and your flushing them out in your urine. (I wish I had got some back when I did the 30 day carni challenge) Now I'm more or less Ketovore. Last week I was measuring small to moderate. Then after the family reunion, I didn't even test a trace amount. One half a deviled egg and one spoon of cheezy corn. (don't tell, but I wasn't impressed) Was probably that small slice of German cake without frosting. Anyhoo, two days later and I'm back to Small on the test stick. I think Small means you have a small amount of ketones your passing through? I guess I'm asking if anyone is well enough versed on what they're about to explain it in layman's term. ???

Some years back, I had a hankerin for chicken livers but didnt want to contend with the normal mess. Thought for sure there was a recipe for livers without flour and grease splatters. Came up with this one. Just dry fry them in a skillet. alil olive oil, some garlic and some lemon juice. I'll post a link. This was back before I was keto or carnivore or even knew what them words meant. But I think it could apply today to at least a ketovore diet. Or change it up to suit you. ...This is not my recipe. I just found it on the net. And tried it several times. https://www.food.com/recipe/stolen-garlic-chicken-livers-110936

I did cook a steak in one, once. And it wasn't too bad. I had ran out of gas and it was that or the microwave for supper. I have one of them Black n Decker toaster ovens that has an air fryer setting. Big enough for anything I gonna cook.

I don't eat out anymore. Being in a small town, the only choices we have is either a family restaurant or Casey's pizza and whatnot. I like my cooking just fine. Tonight I'm having all I can eat fish fried in bacon grease with just salt. It ain't bad. Matter of fact, a friend turned me on to boiled catfish dipped in melted butter. Perty good stuff, it is.

If I may suggest only shooting for your long fasts on your days off. And you can sorta fool yourself by taking your electrolytes instead of a meal. Or a coffee or tea. Or even a glass of water. I usually only eat once a day, unless I'm at work. Work thinks I need to eat or I'll starve to death. 🙂

I prefer dark meat on just about everything. And livers and beef hearts and tongue. ... Only had duck one time when I was a wee little feller and pretty sure my aunt had no idea what she was doing. (looking back) Seems like she boiled it and made some sorta gravy outta it. My first post. I think I might like it here. Reminds me of Forums of old. 🙂
