    It may just be an age/health thing but eating an 8 oz steak can knock me out ketosis sometimes so I really have to keep my protein low or the resulting glucose will dent my ketone production.

    I'm a little like @FIT_Goat in that some of my meals are exactly the same. I season Flounder exactly the same way every time. Same for lamb. I pick up some variety with the other meats and seafood. I like the variety of seasonings, but I could eat lamb and beef every day and be just fine. You kinda have to find your groove and then don't worry about being in it once you finally find it!

    No @Fit_Goat, it wasn't there since that wasn't stated to you directly. Not intended that way, at all! I am still meativore and love it, though have been trying higher carb things maybe once a week (by higher carb I mean cauliflower or mushrooms, definitely not bread or sugar) and am learning how food affects me.

    As far as low impact exercise goes, I cannot recommend swimming highly enough. If at all possible, find somewhere with a pool (or outdoors if there's anywhere close by) that you can swim in a few times a week. Swimming is super low impact because the water helps support your joints and body. It burns tons of calories while easing up the wear and tear considerably. And even if you cant swim or laps sound boring, just treading water and splashing around and having fun is going to burn beaucoup calories. Sparkpeople.com estimates that 30 minutes of treading water for someone your weight burns almost 700 calories.

    Sigh...I miss swimming. No "free" pools around here, and no money to join a club.

    LOL, I was just poking at you. I thought it was funny. I knew what you were doing. :tongue:

    So I tried something new this weekend.... I made chicken thighs with Pesto 1g carb, 1g fiber.. net 0. Absolutely delish. I am stuck on a green bean kick though. I LOVE fresh green beans with lots of butter. I also made almond flour pancakes. VERY VERY filling for 2 small pancakes. Adding just those few things seemed to help the food rut I felt like I was in.

    I also tried making sugar free walnut truffles. UGH... GROSS

    You're getting the wrong steak, then! ;) Trade that sirloin in for a nice, fatty, ribeye or prime rib.
