My March challenge is everything I ate in February.
Okay maybe not everything.
We'll leave off the no-nos.
But that doesn't include rich dark chocolate. That is a yes-yes. But not too much.

I can tell from my personal experience that AS give you cravings as do any non-food items you put in your mouth. Your body expects nutrients from them, doesn't get them, and goes looking..thus cravings. It's kind of like sex..you just want more. 
As for limited dairy, I also found that really helpful. I gave up all cheese for a month, and then added in an oz or two every few days. I don't eat condiments anymore either..too much hidden stuff in there. I make up a huge pound of herbed butter and keep it in the frig..that's my home made condiment. Fresh garlic, rosemary, thyme, cracked pepper...MmMmMmm
I wish you the very best, if you can rough it out for a few weeks..you'll be in the clear.

I gave up all cheese for 3 months, and then added in an oz or two every hour!

Ditto on the condiments. They aren't worth the money or the cravings and stalls, etc., they cause. Learning how to use dry seasoning to season meat and eggs is key for me. It's the simplest way to go. y0u has even started seasoning butter! What a cool idea!

Well, since I fell horribly off the wagon in February I am refocused for March. I also suspect that I am sensitive to pork and chicken as I've noticed major bloating after eating both (I don't react to the fat, thankfully). Butter is also proving not to be my friend. Sigh. 
But hey, it said concentrate on what you CAN eat and so I will.
Beef and fat
Eggs cooked in animal fat
Sea salt
Occasional leaves
Seasonings
Sea salt
Water

Yeah, I've definitely got to give up the condiments too but I'm taking baby steps.
Giving up my beloved DP is huge and I've failed plenty of times before. Last week I had one 20oz bottle which I gave to myself as my shopping day treat. I used to 'treat' myself to a Starbucks Frappacino and muffin on grocery day (my only 'me' time away from my son) so I've come a long way. I'll have to find a non-food treat to replace it.
We'll see how the dairy goes - I'm hoping it won't change anything in very small doses because I really miss cheese. |

Yah. Baby steps. It's worked for me. I've literally spent the last few years slowly changing what I eat, and my habits have really become much more ingrained that way.

Lynne, I think it's very wise to always "get off" on your Birthday!

I'm going to have to give up cheese and bacon. Seem to be giving me problems with my digestion. Right now it seems I do best on Steaks and roasts (beef). Chicken is hard for me to eat (too dry) and pork is somewhat okay.

| Chicken thighs make an awesome broth simmered in water and a few spices, for those who like it. I actually add a little butter , along with the chicken pieces,to the broth before eating it... very warm and comforting for the winter. |

My March Food Choices
* animal muscle/organ/fat
* fish
* dairy
* seasoning (herbs & spices/hot sauce)
* water/sparkling water
* coffee
* mayo & coconut oil (until I use up my stash)
I see that March is about *YES* choices, but my real goal for March is to stay away from artificial sweeteners. |

OK.
I'm definitely bringin' March in like a Lion!
I've never made this before, but, after consulting with my main meat man  , I found that the best pork roast is boston butt pork roast. I acquired a large, very fatty cut, and last night I roasted this guy.

I've been reheating this stuff with the drippings, and, boy oh boy, is it to kill for and die for. 
Carnivore delight!

I honestly think y0u should "do" those veggies like those PETA Babes!
Of course, y0u can always add some butter for variety.
Just let us know what time the show starts at the back of the Bus!

3/1 I ended up eating a few pieces of salami and I gave in and had some raw monteray jack cheese, then I had 3 boiled eggs. For dinner I had cooked a chuck or 7 bone roast. I looked a little strange and it was pretty bad. Was really tough, didn't really taste that good either. So I threw it out and cooked ribeyes instead.

I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've ever seen "bowl of spaghetti sauce" on somebody's menu. How was it, Lynne?

I slow roasted it at 225 for a few hours in a roasting pan covered with foil. The thing looked kind of weird though unlike any other roast I've seen. It definately didn't fall apart with a fork.

That type of roast lends itself better to something like a crockpot all day long, with some liquid in it. It is a tough cut of meat in the first place, so low and slow with liquid like wine or broth or canned tomatoes will help break down the connective tissue. I brown it first and then add about a cup or 2 of liquid, don't cover it with liquid.
Something like a round or rump roast would be great for the dry oven method.

Today I went all day without eating (shhhh... don't tell Dave!  ). Late tonight I made a five egg omelet with a really good mix of dry seasoning and put some of that wonderful pork in it. Very good stuff!
Keepin' it simple Carnivore eats.

hey jeff! it was YUMMERZ!!!
The Boy eats pasta, I slurp the sauce!!!
** and on the chuck roast... some parts of it are real tender, and some parts are real tough. when i buy a bunch of chuck roast, i cook it up quickly.. like a steak. the tough parts go back in a pot with some rotelle tomatoes and cooks down real tender..
but there are two parts to the chuck roast. one part tender, one part tough.

Day 2:
Ground Beef
Cheese
Pork Rinds
Sour Cream
Pork Ribs
Water
Thought I'd toss in what I do with Chuck Roast (cook them all the time). I brown all sides in a cast iron pan then put it in a crock pot. I take a stick of softened butter and mix it with some spices (I like garlic and rosemary) and then slather that all over the top of the roast. I add a can of beef broth and cook it on low for 6 hours. It comes out nice and tender and the broth is to die for - all the delicious fat is in there. When I save leftovers I always keep all the fat - it will solidify in the fridge but when rewarmed tastes just as good.
I've done it without butter too and it's awesome, I just prefer the buttery taste in the broth and the extra fat it adds. |

I slow roasted it at 225 for a few hours in a roasting pan covered with foil. The thing looked kind of weird though unlike any other roast I've seen. It definately didn't fall apart with a fork.

That type of roast lends itself better to something like a crockpot all day long, with some liquid in it. It is a tough cut of meat in the first place, so low and slow with liquid like wine or broth or canned tomatoes will help break down the connective tissue. I brown it first and then add about a cup or 2 of liquid, don't cover it with liquid.
Something like a round or rump roast would be great for the dry oven method. |
I did add a little water to the pan before covering it with foil and there was plenty of broth in pan when I took it out of the oven. I think it was the meat as I've cooked roasts plenty and haven't had trouble. My husband got it from the marked down meat section and like I said, it looked weird and didn't taste good either.
