Just over a week since I began cutting almost all plants out of my diet. I eat mostly beef and eggs, with some dairy.
I do still drink some coffee with cream, but cut out sweet (I used to add some maple syrup or sugar). I am noticing that I don't feel as much of a desire to drink coffee as before and I am probably drinking less than half of what I used to.
Since it has only been a week, it is tough to gauge the benefits.
One thing is that it is much easier for me to get up in the morning.
I feel more mentally alert, but my body is still a bit sluggish probably due to getting used to the change and much lower carbohydrate intake.
Vor 14 Jahren, am 14.4.2010, starb Pete Steele mit 48 - kein Alter. 💚🖤
Auch Carnivore, die Vorgängerband von Type O Negative, waren auf ihre Weise großartig - und wer die alten Fallout-Sachen nicht kennt, Pete’s erste Band, unbedingt mal reinhören: Vieles von dem, was Type O später zu Giganten des Gothic Doom machen sollte, war auch damals schon im Sound angelegt, als Pete gerade mal um die 19 war. Rest in Peace.
This looks pretty good and I love custard, but there's no way I'd make it anywhere near that sweet - if sweet at all! I might add some cinnamon and a little maple stevia though...anyway, something I might want to try while I have some whole milk in the house (which I don't usually)!
The one thing I miss about "real" pizza crust is the chewiness. I don't want my toppings on bread, and I don't want them on cake. I don't want something that crumbles in my mouth or turns to mush.
This is one recipe that I will try as written (something VERY rare for me!), and see if it lives up to its claims. I'm not sure why it needs so many eggs...but if it isn't exactly what I want but shows promise I will tweak it the next time.
Feb 10, 2024 – I have some smoked pork chops I bought from a nearby Amish store, they are delicious but really not much different from ham in texture or taste. Today I took some sliced deli chicken (look for CLEAN ingredients!) and laid it in an overlapping line on a parchment-lined pan. Then I put the “smoked pork” – which I had cubed into small pieces, about ½” – across the layer of chicken. And then I put swiss cheese over it all and put it under the broiler until the cheese was bubbly and starting to brown; it had little crispy bits along the edges (YUM!) too. I rolled it up from one end to the other and put a drizzle of dijon mustard over the top and WOW, such a great animal-based lunch! Next time I think I will put the cheese inside, and coat it with my crispy coating mix (green-can parm, pork panko, beef gelatin) and fry it up – could it BE any more decadent???
One of my ChiaChow Chat posts, this one from yesterday. (I am updating through the weekend, which I will also share here so you don't have to leave the fabulous fediverse 👍 )
"Feb 1, 2024 - Today and tomorrow I'm eating out. Been doing a lot of carnivore lately - most days, in fact - so going to see how a couple of days off go, how my body handles it mainly. I'm a huge proponent of listening to my body's signals, and about once a week I get cravings for things like cabbage or mushrooms or squash. And I'm there. So this weekend I'll be doing OMaD and moderate carb and see how it goes. Frankly, I've been losing weight so fast it is almost making me nervous. I never wanted to lose like this...for a few days I'm putting on the brakes and catching my breath but still taking it day by day. I will keep you posted."

Using the lovely carnivore bread about which I posted yesterday I had a couple of amazing grilled cheese sandwiches. I sliced it really REALLY thin so that I could have 2, since I have missed grilled cheese sandwiches so much!
Supper was chopped and fried pork from the roast I made the other day, fried eggs on top, and my leftover ribeye from yesterday.
