I use Celtic sea salt

No picture because I demolished it before I thought of a picture 😅 Had a bowl of pan fried prawns with a generous amount of melted garlic butter and some sea salt. I look forward to this dish every week! Pan friend salmon later, or maybe some ribeye... ohhhh, maybe both!

Wow... This look delicious!

I find that when I start the switch from a heroin/sugar diet to a ketogenic one, I can be somewhat ravenous! The cravings result in me eating about 50+% more for 1-2 days. For me, as long as what I eat is keto, then it's net positive because I'll be in ketosis in a few days, and reaping all the benefits. I find things like cold cut meats (salami, chorizo, prosciutto ham, etc.), Biltong, Droewors, etc. are fantastic for those transition days when cravings pop up. I echo Geezy's encouragement... Well done so far! Keep it up and kick that addiction!

Today I took my sister and niece out for BBQ food. They love carbs so I gave them the carbs that came with my food). I had the slow cooked ribs, brisket, sausages, chicken wings, and pulled pork. Needless to say, this was a treat haha Pic is from their social media, but pretty much what I ate.

How much do you reckon it cost you to fire that grill up for your steak? Cheap to run?, or is it just worth it for the taste? I'm going to get one when I move to a place that has a garden.

Ooooh... That looks nice! Pork rinds? I might need to try this at some point!

Good luck with the surgery bud!

Sorry to hear you feel like crap bud. What's done is dont though! As long as you are back to eating right again then you are back on the winners path again. No road is a straight line 😎

I decided that I didn't want to cook today and instead treated myself to an Afghan mixed grill (takeaway). It's was delicious! Hopefully there wasn't many uninvited inflammatory passengers in the food 😀

At least it was carnivore/keto food. So as far as slip ups go, it could have been far worse. You got this! 😎

No, that's not what I mean 😆 Maybe it's the pain meds warping my ability to communicate. I was wondering if people on carnivore experience LESS swelling due to the diet.

Why am I sensing negative vibes from this post? 🙃 Cheese, pork ribs, eggs, hot sauce, beef, bacon... sounds like a win to me! 🤩

Thanks for the reply mate, and sorry to hear about your NMO/SD. Though that's great that your inflammation issues have gone! Since posting this I remembered that I have fluid retention on both my legs (my socks make big impressions on my legs, no matter how loose), with it being particularly bad in my right leg where I had the DVT a few years back and it damaged the vessel in the leg, resulting in the fluid build up. So I guess if my earlier logic was correct, then I wouldnt be seeing so much fluid retention in the leg either. I guess even something as amazing as ketosis/carnivore diet has it's limits 🙄 😆
