The Hamburgler

Old habits are hard to break.  That said... I can count on one hand how many cups of coffee I've had in my life. But,  now I was thinking of giving it a try just to have some taste to the liquid I drink. 20 days ago I was a heavy iced tea drinker.  Saccharine was my main sweetener with a half to full teaspoon of sugaradded to each  24oz cup. My dependency on that kept me from starting this diet since the beginning of the year, but I finally gave it up, and took the plunge.

Congrats.

I was wondering about mustard myself. I saw where a few people talked on using it on carnivore as well as crystal hot sauce.  

Looking back...I  was feeling damn good on days 4 and 5 of  strictly BBBE, and was pleasantly surprised I felt so well already. Yesterday ( day 6 ) I picked up a pork shoulder roast  for some variety, and as a mini celebration of what turned out to be a 31+ hr fast by the time it was finished. I ate it  from it twice  in the evening about 2 hrs apart. Today I've felt like crap again with keto flu symptoms, and the trots are back.  My take is... perhaps I was feeling that good so soon because I just ate BBBE?  It seems like the pork brought me back to reality. I know everyone is different, but has anyone experienced this, or at least heard of this before?

Many thanks

I need to brush up on the names of the hidden sugars you mentioned. Do you happen to know if there is a published list of them? 

I'm sure using my hands to retrieve them from the display cabinet could of caused a bit of that, but hey... I've been living on the edge for 18 days now.

I was attempting humor. lol  I did same thing yesterday, and grabbed 2 more for someone else while at the store stocking up on fatty burger for $2.49 lb.  I felt no guilt either time as I never intended on eating them. Rather proud of myself for not being bothered about "missing out".

Week 2 I was down 4 pounds.  A little disappointed but down is down.  Still feel great and loving what I get to eat so I am happy!

Many thanks

Almost 6 years ago I lost a little over 100 lbs. I did this eating the SAD, and what averaged at about 2300 calories per day .  I was going to a place called Weight Management. In my mind this place was only used for support, and I needed it. My doctor there advised.... Try to eat at least 5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day, and he didn't care what else I ate as long as it was under 2500 calories.  When I asked if I should switch from seed oils, artificial sweeteners, and  2% milk to lard, sugar, and whole milk.  He shrugged his shoulders, scrunched up his nose, and shook his head no.  In the end... the reason I stopped going there was because he was leaving, and I didn't care for the only other option left there.  Thing was.... He had a  new gig at the state college teaching others his messed up theory  of nutrition. 

Congrats on your ongoing success.  I'm 16 days in and after about a week I noticed I'm sleeping better, and feel recharged afterwards.

We went to a Harri Teeter to do some meat shopping. My wife was in line at customer service and I pushed our basket to get out of the way of traffic. I landed right beside an end cap donut/sweet cake/muffin display. 
The marketing/strategy guy/gal was spot on because I think over half the carts that came thru the door hit that end cap.
I'm not sure I was disgusted but I did think that use to be me. No craving or anything like that but I did think about how the placement helped make the sale.
Which to me, means a lot of the bad things we ate are just habit and habit-forming.

The longer you are carnivore the more you’ll notice things like that. You’ll start paying attention to what other people put in their carts and you might even be disgusted to think that at one time you were just like them.

Congrats.

Just that...lol   I picked up a few apple fritters from my favorite place today for my mother and my aunt. It's a decent size grocery, but when I pulled in there were only 4 or 5 cars in a parking lot  that usually has 20+? Funny thing was... as I followed an older couple down the aisle towards the donuts I see a young guy turn the corner with a box full.  We continue, and the older couple goes straight to the donuts, which leaves me as first in line. I chuckled a bit as I thought  4 or 5 cars in the parking lot of this large grocery store, and 3 of the occupants of the 4 or 5 are here for donuts!

Nice!

I had my first ribeye today on day 10.  Hard to believe how good it was  frying it in a skillet.
