Posted this over here to share my eating approach on my log while also not clogging your log with my stuff.
I’ll have to start looking into that. I’m not 100% committed to Steak & Eggs or Carnivore; I’m kind of blending them. I guess you could throw in a bit of paleo or carb cycling, too. I’m trying to avoid carbs like the Steak & Eggs diet with a carb meal every 3 or 4 days. But I’m also okay with consuming carbs indirectly but trying to keep the total below 50g per day.
My son had a pool party for his summer baseball team last night and they had the 1/4 pound beef hotdogs from Sam’s. I ate one without the bun and dipped it in ketchup and mustard. I think the hotdog had 3 or 4g of carbs and there’s obviously carbs in ketchup, but small amounts.
I must admit I only made it about two weeks on the Steak & Eggs diet back in June. I found myself craving salads. This time around I’m going to allow myself to eat those things. I’ll try the intuitive thing but only with good food choices. If I’m craving leafy greens, then it’s okay. If I’m craving cookie dough ice cream, then I’ll have to acknowledge that it’s the fat American in me and not something I actually need.
I used to eat a lot of potatoes because they can be filling and low in calories considering the amount of food you can eat. But something changed and the last few times I’ve eaten them, they’ve wrecked my stomach and the air quality of everyone in the house.
The form also plays a part which could point to my chewing habits. Mashed potatoes seem okay but if I cube them and roast/grill them, they fight back.
