Christian Carnivore

I am posting this late, as I forgot to come back and continue my blogging this day.

Meal 2 – BBQ Chuck Roast Pizza w/ Almond Flour crust

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup mozzarella for crust + 3/4 cup for top
• 1/16 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp SF BBQ sauce for topping
• 4 oz leftover Chuck Roast
• Bake for 15 minutes on 375F, then add BBQ sauce with cheese and chuck roast.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 400F, or until browned.

Snack – 5 serving pork rinds

Cravings: Today I wanted pork rinds to negate any other desires for junk food. Pork rinds are wayyyyyy too easy for me to overeat, as is evident today.

Energy: Medium-low energy

Thank you for those who follow along. I pray that God will reveal answers when you need them most or when least expected!

Today I was excited to try a recipe I’ve heard about, but never made: the roasted cauliflower whole head. Came out pretty tasty with butter and a lemon-herb packet. However, I wish I had more meat, and could have easily eaten another 4+ ounces. This tender roast was the Morton’s Tender Roast available at Aldi for $6.99/lb. Definitely worth the price.

Meal 2 – half Cauliflower Roast + 7 oz beef tender roast

Snack – 1 serving pork rinds + 1 meat stick

Cravings: I just needed more meat after the lighter breakfast and dinner, hence my multiple snacks today.

Energy: Still struggling with low energy, probably from the gluten on Sunday. The reason why I think it’s the gluten still in my system? I have a few tiny bubbles under my skin on my hand still, and my skin was itchy yesterday.

I pray that the Lord hear all your silent prayers, and that you may be bold enough to reach and talk to Him today. He’s only a word away. God bless.

Due to an errand with my mother, we decided to go eat at the Golden Corral (say it with an accent). Color me surprised when I saw steak for breakfast, just sitting there waiting for me! It was probably a version of sirloin, but they overcook it a bit. Steak is still good though, and a treat.

Meal 2 – Southwest coleslaw + 2 tbsp bacon bits + 2 burgers 1/3lb each + 2 slices cheese

Snack – large Coke Zero + Korean jerky + 1 meat stick

Cravings: After that big breakfast, I wasn’t really craving anything.

Energy: Because of how large that breakfast was, and the fact I didn’t sleep enough hours last night, I took a 2 hour nap today. That was a lot of food.

Before bed, I watched a video about a Muslim converting to a Christian, submitting to Jesus as Lord. In the comments, some individuals wrote that they pray daily for the conversion of Muslims to Christianity. It made me think, “what am I praying for every day?” God, I’m grateful that I have access to you every day and even every minute. Please help me learn to pray well.

Eating Carnivore is really the fastest way for me to recover from poor eating. Every meal seems to help me feel more energetic, less sluggish.

Meal 2 – Buffalo Chicken dip 1 pound (Publix brand) + 5 pieces of celery (9″ stalks)

Snack – 2 string cheese + Orange Keto Yogurt (3/4 cup Greek yogurt + 2 tbsp cacoa nibs + 1/2 SF Orange electrolyte)

I’m really enjoying these Greek Yogurt treats, testing out if these will satisfy my desire for sweets. I thought the flavor was really good last night. Probably only needed 1/4 or 1/3 a packet of electrolytes for the amount of yogurt I had. If I added cocoa powder, then maybe the 1/2 packet would have been just fine.

Cravings: Today was fine, except I wanted to try this dessert later on in the evening.

Energy: Couldn’t sleep last night due to the long nap I had yesterday, the normal post-gluten tiredness. Once I got moving today, I’m feeling good.

Oh happy day, to call the Son of Man my Savior. To be His, to be held in His hands, what a magnificant day ’tis mine!

Ugh, the cheating day definitely had me waking up like I was hungover. I slept so much, felt so sluggish. It was just a lot of effort to get through the day until dinner. Brain fog and lack of motivation to do work. Because I want to accomplish more in life, the effects of cheating to that level? They aren’t fun.

Meal 2 – Breakfast Burgers (2 burgers 1/3lb each + 2 slices cheese + 2 eggs + 2 tbsp bacon bits)

Snack – Korean Jerky + Chocolate Keto Yogurt (1 cup Greek yogurt + 2 tbsp cacoa nibs + 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 1 tbsp SF liquid sweetener)

Cravings: Today was fine, except I wanted to try this dessert later on in the evening.

Energy: Energy was really low and terrible due to the massive amount of gluten and sugar I ate yesterday. Very different from how I feel on days I just eat Carnivore.

The reminder of the gift of grace from this Easter weekend has me living with thanksgiving for even today. I’m so blessed that God cared enough about you and me that He sent Jesus to be the ultimate Lamb of Atonement. That we wouldn’t have to continue year after year in a sort of limbo of separation because of our sin, but that Jesus came to take our sin, to die in our place, so that we might live.

Today I started off strong, but totally annihilated desserts at our family gathering.

Quick weigh-in results

Meal 2 – Family gathering (4 full “heavenly” eggs, 4 ounces pork, 8 oz sausages (some with cheese), Buffalo Chicken Dip 1/2 cup + many desserts)

I actually was pleasantly full from the carnivore foods, but….yeah….I ate so much dessert. Some were overly sweet, but they all made my stomach feel endless, like I could eat even more. They really aren’t positive for me.

Snack – 2 servings string cheese

Cravings: Nothing now.

Energy: Energy was fine until after the dessert. I took a 2 hour nap after arriving home.

Easter Sunday is the reason my Christian faith has any legs. If Jesus died on the cross, and stayed in the grave, would we still be hanging onto hope for His future return? Would we have really seen Him as an all-powerful God? But Jesus rose, and showed Himself alive, speaking, to over 500 people after that Friday on the cross.

Most of his disciples died for their faith, because they kept speaking about all Jesus had done on this earth. Jesus isn’t a statue, but a real person who Romans and Jews recorded as being alive, who faced death on the cross. But He didn’t stay in that tomb. Thank you, Jesus, for submitting to God’s plan to give us grace and a Savior.

Ugh, the cheating day definitely had me waking up like I was hungover.

Snack – 2 string cheese

Meal 2 – Salad with chicken and BBQ sauce (mix 2 tbsp mayo + 2 tbsp SF ketchup + 1 tbsp SF BBQ sauce)

Snack – Keto Chocolate Ricotta Pie (ricotta, cottage cheese, allulose, egg, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs all without measurements but about 1 cup dairy per serving)

• The pie really should have been a pudding because of the ingredients. If I had to do this all over again, I would just mix these ingredients together, and eat cold.
• Pudding = 1 cup Greek yogurt + 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 1 tbsp cocoa nibs + SF sweetener of choice

Cravings: Dessert

Energy: Energy was fine.

Today was a happy day because I went to the Saturday evening Easter service. I was full of gratitude for the free gift of grace that Christ gave me, and that the story wasn’t over on the cross. That even though my sin deserved death and separation from God, Christ conquered death. He came as my Savior, and not a judge. Thank you, God, for an amazing gift.

Well…..either the ads about desserts are getting to me, or I need to eat more protein, or I need to do a fast for a couple days. But wow! I did not do well today! There’s another possibility that I’m stress-eating, because I started working on a big project this week. Even though I’m of my right mind while I’m thinking about these foods, and as I purchase them, I still eat them.

Snack – Korean jerky + garbage

I have that limitless stomach feeling right now around 3pm. Possibly from stress, or sugar is triggering me from the cured ham and jerky.

Meal 2 – Argentinian meat and carbs

Snack – ice cream dolled up in extra stuff

Because I didn’t know about the restaurant choice before we went out that night, I didn’t have time to analyze the menu. I found that it helps me prepare mentally, and to look at all the meat prices or appetizer prices for my best options. There was no perfect option for me, unless I wanted to pay $4 for a small sausage. I would need to eat so many to feel full. The alternative is that I could have done a strategy of eating about $15 worth of meat, then eating more at home later.

Cravings: Pillowy pastries

Energy: Woke up fine. Energy dragged around 1pm, but perked up around 3pm.

Today is Good Friday, and today is the reason for my entire religious belief. Without Jesus dying on the cross, there is no Resurrection and no perfect Lamb of sacrifice for our sins. Jesus’ existence has been recorded in Roman history, has been attested to by Jewish religious leaders denouncing Him as the Messiah, and by 3rd party historians of the 1st century AD/CE writing of his life.

Because God wanted His house full, like the parable of the rich man, who’s party guests had excuses, the town’s people were busy, He had to go outside the gates and onto the roads to find those who wanted to attend His banquet. Jesus came to save, and not to judge. To bring us “gentiles” into the fold with God’s chosen people. I’m so thankful for the sacrificial love Jesus showed us on the cross. I’m so thankful that His story didn’t stop on Good Friday, and that we have Easter Sunday to celebrate His victory over death!
