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.
