Weighed myself this morning, and the scale says I haven’t gained back 2 pounds. Oh well, I’m going to trust the process, and just stay on Carnivore.
(Later today) Strategy change: I ate the garbage I was craving. This was risky for a couple reasons.
- Eating the carbs, gluten or sugar may cause me to lose all desire to get back on Carnivore.
- Unexpected effects to my physical or mental state.
Why did I attempt to eat the junk, processed food that I had started to crave? Because Carnivore meals still sound appetizing to me. I think about all the Carnivore meals I’ve cooked, and I want to eat them still. I’ve been able to go to restaurants, look at the other items, and resist them in favor of my Carnivore foods. I wasn’t too worried about my desire to go back on Carnivore. Also, I didn’t want to “store up” thoughts of all the foods I was craving to the point where I’d just eat all junk food in 1 day or on a road trip.
Snack – Korean jerky
Meal 1 – Empanadas 4 beef/cheese (made with corn dough) + Coke Zero
Snack – unsweet tea + pretzel
Meal 2 – Brunch Burger Extreme (1/2 lb burger, 8oz bacon, 1 slice cheese, 3 eggs)
Cravings: My mental state let the junk-food desires run, so I just decided to eat the junk.
Energy: Woke up the same way I felt last night, which was feeling a bit blah and defeated. The sleep itself was great, and I got puppy kisses this morning. The sun is shining, so I am glad for it.
The fact that God gave us free will is a great gift. But also a great responsibility. Onward towards tomorrow!
