I got for the first time in 3 years. Went with fasting and bone broth to heal and for some reason, I started thinking about egg drop soup...never really cared for it back in the pre-carnivore days. Anywho, looked up a carnivore version and my wife volunteered to whip it up for me!

IT WAS GREAT

I eat A LOT of ribeyes and eggs and I can easily eat that everyday without a complaint but this added a new dimension of flavor and texture. (I slightly miss the addiction of chips and football) Obviously this is far from crunchy but I'm saying that it's a different feel (and nutritious) AND, I plan to use it as the base for a very hardy chicken soup. Here's the recipe my wife followed. There are many that are similar. She didn't add the powdered veggies cuz we don't have them but did add coconut aminos https://carnivore.diet/?s=Egg+drop+soup+

I will check it out later.

I was a boring eater prior to carnivore so I could eat the same thing every day and not have issues/complaints.

The only time I got away from 'boring meat' was when we made the carnivore pizza. It turned out really nice and I enjoyed it a lot.

As said before, I have become a big fan of fasting. I had some struggles coming off my first dry fast. I went 48 hours dry fasting and followed it up with 48 hours of water fasting. I felt pretty good toward the end but not near as good as when I do a regular water fast. I ate on Friday and on Saturday I was absolutely flat, flat all day.

babbling, but off the top of my head th egg drop soup sounds like something that would help me ease out of the fast.

Gonna check it out.

I "feel" like intermittent fasting and only eating one meal a day but when I do that, I get way too lean. Since I've been carnivore, eating is very much a non priority. I really have to pay attention to make sure I'm getting enough food to maintain my muscle mass (or ideally) to increase muscle mass.

In sort of the same boat. First month in '24 I lost pretty much a pound a day for a month. Took me a few weeks to figure out milk created a stall but steadily lost weight until most people thought I was sick again like 2018 and just not telling.

If I just ate when I was hungry it would be every 30 hours or so (even longer at times) but I have tried to hit my protein per pound requirements for building muscle, and it is very hard. After carnivore I have not had the appetite to hit those protein targets consistently. I have had considerable strength gains int he gym for a 56-year-old, but the size gains are noticeable but not what i would expect.

I could stand to lose a few more pounds, and if I just ate when I was hungry, I am sure they would fall right off. I am hanging around 90-95 pounds lost since May '24. I am not complaining about my appetite as much as I am impressed by the amounts I hear others are able to eat. 2lbs of red meat for me is over two days of food and people are eating that in a sitting. Impressed and a bit jealous as well. LOL

All in all, I'm in a good place.
