As a Meatasaurous, the biggest issue for me is going out to eat. Because pasta and potatoes are cheap, many restaurants will give you 8 servings of pasta (a serving is supposed to be a cup or less.) Fast food restaurants often have no good options, and in sit down places, you often have to go to steak and veggies or something grilled.

I keep it simple. No sugar, potatoes, pasta or bread. No deep fried. Lots of meat and vegetables. Only problem with cutting out bread is not having something to hold the sandwich together. Other than that, I don't miss it.

After a few days off sugar, I started feeling better. Alert, but not jumpy. Had a cupcake at a birthday party a week ago, and it was crazy how sweet it was. We've gotten so used to sugar in our diets that, like caffeine, we forget how strongly it affects us.

Bingo. No more afternoon crashes. Funny you bringing that up. I feel so much better. I sleep better too.

I fry stuff in either bacon grease or butter. Thinslim foods has pasta, bagels, and pizza crusts that are on par with what you can get in full carb equivalents. Taste, texture, everything.

I did their sampler, and some of it was inedible. Their snacks, mostly were foul.

The pizza crust? Game changer. You can make the most decadent all meat pizzas and it will not raise your BCG at all. Zero carbs.

Toasted bagel with cream cheese beside my elbow as I type this.

I made a buffalo chicken dip that had zero carbs this weekend for NFL viewing. (Franks buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, cream cheese, chicken, blue cheese or parm crumbles). You can eat the whole pan and you BCG remains stable.

Go over 30 percent protein and you start getting into ketogenesis - protein converting to glucose. It really isn’t that big an issue, but between cream cheese, sugar free jams, and nut butters, you can do positively eeeevil things to a bagel and it is awesome.
