This might be the biggest hurdle yet. My wife has always nagged me to eat slower...I think now i"ll have to ...to drag out the pleasure past 2 minutes

And it's depressingly little. Dinner USED to be a big thing with LOTS of food...now after a burger patty with bacon or something...it's over in 2 minutes. I'm eating 2 meals a day; one light one about 10 or 12 pm and then a dinner that's not that big. It's hard to mentally get used to it.

Ok....Reporting in: everything going great...weight is steady....ailments are either gone or going away...but one thing I noticed... I'm so used to snacking for a variety of reasons...the idea of "being hungry" is hard to get used to..... I have to consciously ask "Am I hungry?" and I'm finding out that frequently the answer is no. Sometimes the urge to snack before bed is so great I drink a cup of decaf with a 2 tbsp of heavy cream in it and before I'm halfway...the craving is gone and I don't finish...but having it ready makes me feel better. Last night I took a couple of boiled eggs and a couple of pieces of bacon to bed...I had skipped dinner because I just wasn't hungry...I had a burger patty with cheese about 3 pm and that did it for dinner. It's a new thing, thinking about ruining my dinner...I've never had to think about that...I could snack...and then power a huge dinner no problem...and then snack at bedtime.

Same! it feels weird to have most of my feeling back

I'm CONVINCED that there is and was a collusion in the food/drug industry to keep folks from eating like this. I've watched so many videos explaining the connections between the drug companies, the sugar and junk food industries and where the money-trails are....it's no accident that the diet advice from the powers that be have been wrong...it's not by accident...it's a calculated move to keep us coming back for pills and surgeries. I don't think that they think of it that way exactly...but human greed being what it is...I think that they smell money to be made and we are the guinea pigs.

Ok...I just realized something else...my 5x urinating a night has stopped. I can go a whole night's sleep and only pee 1 or 2 times....no emergencies..... Normally if I have to pee...IT'S ON! I was driving home a couple of weeks ago and peed my pants because I couldn't hold it....now...I can say " I have to pee..." and if I don't immediately run to the bathroom...it's no big deal.... amazing.

OK, this is too weird, this might be a coincidence but you won’t believe this I’ve had neuropathy in both feet for several years now and no doctor could tell me what’s going on and why it’s happening or how to fix it so I’ve just lived with it. for several years now and no doctor could tell me what’s going on and why it’s happening or how to fix it so I’ve just lived with it. I realized a day or two ago that I could feel my feet, and just now I realized I can feel myself tickle my feet and it makes me jump, the only part that’s really numb now is the toes and they’re not even really that numb. and just now I realized I can feel myself tickle my feet and it makes me jump, the only part that’s really numb now is the toes and they’re not even really that numb. It feels funny to walk because it feels like I’m walking on pillows, I can feel the bottom of my feet now

Bob, you are probably right...I ate 6 small filet mignons the day before for dinner and then the salmon patties the next night... I am good this morning...all is well in toilet-land...

ok… report This might be disgusting, but I had a horrible belt with constipation yesterday. this might be disgusting, but I had a horrible bout with constipation yesterday...Worse than I’ve ever had. it was so bad…I felt so plugged up that I didn’t even eat until dinner yesterday and didn’t really want to eat then. I’m not sure what brought it on, but I had eaten seven salmon patties for dinner and then had a dessert of three hotdogs with bacon… but other than that, everything is great, my cravings are gone, the closer I stick to just fatty meat the better things get…

Ok...not sure what day it is...3rd...4th...but here I am! It's 2:12am and I'm wide awake. I've always had trouble sleeping, I think it's because I worked very early in the morning for many years so it's ingrained in me. I usually get up between 12:00am and 3 or 4am and then tired by 8am lol. I didn't snack on anything questionable last night...no yogurt...nothing sweet in fact I made tacos for a snack and finished half. They had really good tortillas made from 3 eggs, 3 oz of pork rinds, 3 oz of shredded cheddar (that makes 6 tortillas) I had two of them...with left over pork inside. I had Filet Mignon for dinner...just the meat...it was amazing....I cut them with a fork...literally. It's weird not being hungry...if it weren't for habits....I'd probably barely eat once a day. As it is...I eat "breakfast" about 10:00am or 11:00am now and dinner at 5 and that's it.

Report: it may be a coincidence, but I just realized that my beardruff and my flaky scalp is gone. I might not have already mentioned that my blood pressure is now mostly in the normal range, it was HIGH (200/100) and i was on BP meds, i’m not taking any blood pressure meds and my blood pressure goes from either acceptable or just barely above. (it was 117/72 yesterday morning) im feeling very optimistic…

Thanks for the warning...I suspect the same will happen with me... Last night I didn't snack on yogurt...just some buddig meat and a cheese stick...

Just a happy update, I had enough excess energy this morning. I took a 5 1/2 mile bike ride. I haven’t done that in a long time. I also realized one thing; knowing that I’m not gonna have some sugary snack or some bag of potato chips ready for me at my whim, my snacking has went away. I gave myself permission to eat anything carnivore anytime, and I realized that most of the times I eat it’s out of boredom or something else, but definitely not hunger

No problem! We are all here to help each other and I appreciate it! I'm looking forward to day two....weirdly..it seems easier today already...mentally that is.

No problem! I'm 64 and have eating crap most of my life (or at least half) and at this point I'm not going to spend energy worrying about some miniscule amount of lead in something that I use a dash of once or twice a week...I always tell my sister (who does the same thing; worries about minutea but eats MC D's, taco bell, burger king etc every day..."it's like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.....that's the least of your worries...the ship is sinking..."
