Steak/beef, shrimp, pork chops, chicken....every week.
In my house it's chocolate. It cures insanity. Even bacon can't do that.
Ahhh, buttermilk.
I bought some recently for a fried green tomatoes recipe. It was a 1/2 gallon full fat Bavarian style. I ended up drinking a glass daily just cause it was so good. Reminded me of unflavored yogurt somewhat.
Store was out of it last time I checked but your post has started a craving. I’ll be buying it again as soon as I find it. Very satisfying.
Oh ... and the fried green tomatoes were fantastic! Buttermilk really helped the breading to stick.
I love roasted brussel sprouts, with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Dr. Atkins is dead.
I have a neighbor/friend physician who has been telling me this for years....I have followed HIS advice not my cardiologist.
We’re all gonna die, what’s your point?
I think I’ll get a ‘Pilsner Urquell’ right now.
Atkins has been vindicated!
The key is moderation. Eat whatever you want, in moderation.
Same here. I avoid sugar and grains and make a point of eating extra high quality fats every day.
Conventional dietary wisdom nearly killed me. I developed an autoimmune disease that my doctors said I would have to deal with the rest of my life. After struggling with it for years, a friend recommended a low-carb/paleo diet and I was desperate enough to try it. My supposedly incurable disease disappeared in days and I was able to get rid of the steroids I had been taking. Multiple doctors had assured me there was no connection between my condition and what I was eating, but they were flat wrong. Now I’m 50 and feel better than I did 20 years ago.
Last month I began drinking “bulletproof coffee” (coffee, unsalted grain-fed butter, and MCT oil) every morning. So far I like it, but don’t have enough evidence to have a firm opinion.
Importantly, dairy products are digested differently than meats. Dairy are digested fairly high up by the firmicutes phylum of bacteria. They are aerobic and very efficient at digesting the foods they digest, releasing a lot of nutrition for the body. So while dairy products do have lots of protein and fat, they should be avoided as part of a meat eating weight loss diet.
Meats are digested by the bacteroidetes Phylum in the lower intestines, which do not release as much nutrition.
But something that all nutritionists agree on is that sugars need to be restricted, as too many contribute strongly to many health problems.
I’ve been ketogenic for about a year now. It works. Seventy percent of calories from fat
Everybody says they're so horrible, they have a great flavor.
I found a canned "tomatoes, corn and okra" with a little jalepeno...terrific all by itself. Seven bean soup....fantastic flavor, tastes like it has meat in it.
You can always make Navy beans and ham...serve with cheap mustard.
(always soak beans for an hour or so in baking soda/water, rinse with fresh water)
I started using psyllium capsules recently and they seem to help.
I’ve lost 30 lbs since 9/1/16. Simply cut out the cokes.

Huh. Having similar problems myself. I’m not overweight but I’m addicted to sugar. I think I’ll follow what you are doing and see if I feel better. Do you just eat the same things every day?
