Dean, I was just nominating you ;) Seriously though, I think it would be a tough one without including dairy.

10 points for the last 3 days. I need to get off the diet coke again. I get really bad headaches from withdrawal of the caffiene in soda, so I know how hard it is.

Tigers still trailing... but, our secret weapon is about to show. I can just feel it. Wink

5 points for Sunday. Raw egg yolk, KC strip steak with butter and garlic powder, sb eggs with a ton of butter, and, of course, more butter. I ate another half pound of butter yesterday. Yup

I IF'd all day, till 7pm. In the afternoon, I did nearly 10 km at the park, with no food, just body fat for fuel. Grin

Those KC strip steaks are pure protein! Dry meat is gross! They've trimmed every last bit of fat off of 'em! Sad

Fat phobia is so sick! Mad

I will NEVER again buy this type of meat. It sucks that I have so many to eat up. I can only stand to eat like 4 or 5 oz of the stuff per day. I'm gonna start eating brisket and pork belly and chicken wings along side these dry steaks. I've got to. Cuz, last night, I was having carb cravings SO BAD! And, I know exactly why. When I get loads of nice animal fat in my diet, I don't have a problem with any cravings, but, too much lean meat and I'm craving carbs. In reality, I'm actually craving FAT, cuz last night I started thinking, instead of going to get some cookies or ice cream or chocolate, what if I went and got some really fatty ground beef and some wonderful cheese, and THAT sounded SO much more appealing. I also thought about the fact that those sugary treats I craved actually all have lots of fat, as well as sugar.

I know from times in the past, when I was coming back to carnivorous eating, after going on some long sugar binge, I would eat eggs fried in lard, or super fatty burgers, that I would smother with tons of melted cheese and mayo. That would always be the BEST way to get over those tremendous carb withdrawals. Luckily, last night, I was able to just eat a bunch of butter and watch a movie and chill out, talking myself out of heading to the 24-hour grocery store two blocks away, where they have SO much junk food! It was a close call, though.

After that incident, I made a decision to always eat really fatty meat, like brisket, pork, whatever, and just eat a bit of these dry cuts of meat raw, not cooked. Gotta do it. The more I eat this way, the more I realize just how vital really high animal fat is. It seems the more of it I eat, the better I feel. Last night, after eating all that butter to calm down, I started getting so much energy. Today I feel really good and have a ton of energy. I'm really gettin' keto-adapted, I'm sure of it. Yes, in the future, after all this dry beef is gone, I'm only gonna get very fatty cuts of meat. It's such a shame how they trim all that wonderful fat off these cuts.

I'm not foolin' around when I say animal fat is where it's at. Cool

Adding 16 for the last 5 days. I was at a conference and ended up eating some salads and sausages.... I loved sitting down to breakfast with a plate "full" of scrambled eggs while everyone else sat down with toast, cereal and all other imaginable carbs. Nobody said anything but I'm sure they thought it/I was odd.

I had a piece of a grapefruit too and it tasted so sweet, I don't remember grapefruit ever tasting sweet in the high carb days.

5 points for yesterday...ate nothing til about 11pm then had a small amount of seared steak just to get my 5 points! LOL

Dean, congrats on fighting off the carb cravings! WTG! I'm sure you've hit the nail on the head about it being linked to the super lean meat you've been having to eat. I have noticed exactly the same thing. The idea of eating lean protein, especially if cooked (like chicken breast or strips of fully-cooked lean beef) just seems to put me off these days.

Still feeling bad today, but certainly better than yesterday. My brain still feels fuzzy and I almost feel like I have the flu (even though I'm pretty sure it's not actually the flu).

And the Tigers pull within 18! Grin

5 points for today. Tender, fatty, extremely rare boneless rib-eye and chuck-eye steaks with some butter and a bit of hot sauce on the side. More sb eggs with butter. That's becoming quite a staple. I did IF till 9pm today, and during that time, I went to the park and did HIIT for 8 km! Glycogen's for blood cells, AC. Wink

Today, I went out and acquired several nice, fatty, good lookin' rib-eye steaks that were on sale. I also picked up some chuck-eye steaks, since I learned about 'em on the Bus. These chuck-eye steaks are so fatty and just melt in your mouth. They almost tasted better than the rib-eyes, and for much less. I've never had these chuck-eyes before, and I couldn't find them, so I had to ask at the meat counter. They showed me where they were, and told me they are called "beef spencer steaks". All these different names for different cuts. The world of carnivory is pretty wild, huh? I'm lovin' it the more I get into it. Cool

I also got some more chicken wings. I had previously purchased a half gallon jug of Frank's Red Hot sauce, which is such good stuff, at Costco. Now, they don't carry it anymore, and I'm gettin' low. Sad

I will have to drive down to the burbs to another Costco to see if I can get it there. Hopefully a phone call will answer this question. I sure hope they have it, cuz, I think the half gallon was like three bucks. It's just cayenne pepper and has zero carbs/cals. It goes great with all meat, especially if you mix it with butter.

I cooked some pork ribs in the oven with thyme and coriander seeds.. but got sleepy so I took a nap and forgot to eat them. please congratulate me on getting over 1800 calories today LOL

Valcan · Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 6:19 am Post subject:

Hi,

I am almost home from my conference. Flew today and got in late. We will drive the rest of the way (3 hours) tomorrow. On the west coast there is green grass, tulips and daffodils. While I was gone, we got 4.5 feet of snow. Can't wait to get home and see all the beautiful white stuff - NOT! All of our snow was almost gone and now we are back to ground zero again. The weather is not supposed to get much above freezing until May 5! This is VERY unusual, even for Canada.

Anyway - I did a perfect 5 point day on Sunday! I was proud of myself to pull one off while at a conference. Eggs, prime rib and sashimi.
Today was a three pointer. No raw and I had a bit of rubbish. (hard to eat right when you are flying).

Today for the two days is 5 + 3 = 8

...can't resist telling my favourite blonde joke now (blame mina everyone, she got me started LOL

)

...a blonde walks into a building...

LOL

That's it!!...okay, maybe I'm the only one who thinks it's funny...

Anyway, the real reason I'm posting...

Can someone pretty please try to post a picture of these 'chuck-eye' steaks?

I always have a bit a trouble figuring out what you guys are talking about because we have different names for the cuts of meat down here. Roll Eyes

I'd love to see what they look like so that maybe I can try to find them too. Thank you! Heart

Dean · Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 9:06 am Post subject:

BJ,

Just ask the person at the meat counter for chuck-eye steak. I've heard it goes by many different names. That way you will be able to purchase it. It's a lot less expensive than rib-eye, and it tastes wonderful! Very fatty. Cool

3pts yesterday, had a bit of mozarella and parm.

Dean, I think you've nailed it with fat/carb cravings. I think the reason I used to crave chips was bc I wasn't eating enough fat.

I think it's partially why I have trouble giving up cheese. It's such an easy way to get more fat in, and I notice I start wanting some on days where I am missing fat. Same with cream. (interesting side note - no problems from the cheese yesterday, I really think it's dose-dependent for me. Still keeping it to a bare minimum, cream too.)

Do fatty cuts like brisket have to be cooked longer, eg crock pot as opposed to grilled? I ground a hanger steak yesterday, and it was so fatty it made it's own sauce in the pan. Very nice. Suppose brisket could go the same way?

1 point for me yesterday. Am coming to the end of my veggies experiment I think. I was constipated this morning (never happens to me normally), and yesterday I was blotchy and a tiny bit of eczema appeared on my neck (had been 99% free). Yesterday I ate some green beans and broccoli, although it was absolutely smothered in butter. V little cheese the last couple of days.

However it was easy to get the fat in with veggies but I prefer my skin and bowels without them.

Last 3 days, 13 points. Had a little coconut oil and olive oil on a couple of a days. I just can't handle the butter...tried it for a few days and I get gassy and all...and I feel a little bloated.

Fatty meat and if needed, bone marrow. Bought some cheap rib steaks, ate them all and today, I got some brisket, VERY fatty.

Got the flu on Sat. Feel much better today. Smile

BJ:

they are very small steaks BTW.. today im eating three of them at one sitting.. sounds like alot but seeing as altogether they only weighed .71 lbs and came in at a whopping 500-600 calories.. its not much! I cooked the outside of them in some tallow I had rendered (GO ME!) and added some steak salt (salt, crushed peppercorns and something else).. wowee so good.. I could eat them every day (and just about do!). I do like to eat them with caesar dressing once in a while too

speaking of tallow: i wonder if it's ok to leave it on the counter or will it go rancid? I had mine in the fridge and it was hard like crisco or butter.

Heart

ETA; glad youre feeling better kristelle !
