I know I said I was going to do carnivore but I really miss vegetables. For lunch I had two hot dogs (no bread or sauces) with a side of steamed broccoli and cauliflower topped with butter and salt. For dinner I am eating this chicken salad which only contains rotisserie chicken, romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, sour cream, salt & pepper I also had a coffee with half and half Anyways, I was really craving a chicken Caesar salad and this hit the spot. https://image.nostr.build/1a8945ad424dd6a412a54d87b752f3435beee9e1165e51a592323a11ae9827f7.jpg
The hubs and I lost 60 plus pounds each counting calories. I knew that for me, denial was a road to failure. I learned how to make healthier choices and eventually got to the point where the unhealthy things just didn't do it for me anymore. It is a lifestyle change that still allows me to eat cake. I just need to get back to my walking and weights again. I'm a believer in you have to do what works for you and that's not always what is best for other people. Maybe do combo carnivore and keto 🤷♀️. Good luck with whatever you choose and know that you can always do better next time if you slip 🫂🫂
Congrats on the weight loss. I am currently down 15 lbs. I would like to lose at least 25 more to get back to a weight I feel more comfortable with. Ideally I would like to lose 40 lbs. But I will happy once I can reach the next lowest range. I am trying to push myself this time by doing at least a half hour of physical movement (elliptical, cardio, walking, etc) a day. Ever since I started driving and where I currently live, it's hard to walk around, and I love walking. You are right, keto and carnivore with the occasional cheats for sweets is better option for me. I am currently on a big veggie kick so I am going to try to do half and half (veg and protein) for meals, see what that does. Thank you for taking the time to let me know your story. 🫂
Thank you 🫂. I walk my driveway, I live 6 miles from town and there's only a few places to walk in town (I'm in the country 😂). But we walk everywhere we can when we go somewhere. You'll get there 💪💪
That's cool. I look forward to the day I have lots of land to just walk around on like that. I have this dream of creating some kind of indoor nature park with a small trail (maybe a half mile loop around the house), kind of like this one I used to go to in Sedona. Very few people around. Just nature. There was a tiny river. Red rocks.
Your body is very smart. It gives you indication of what it lacks, and listening to it is wise. 👏
Why carnivore and not Paleo or Keto?
i am doing keto, but i was trying to reset my body, i was eating like shit for a few weeks and developed a weird facial rash. that went away now.
Oh yuck! Glad you got it figured out. I personally couldn’t live without veggies!
They are very good!
