If you read the link in the original post you will see an article that originally spurred conversation about doing similar 30 day challenges. @FIT_Goat already eats very similarly and decided to do a similar challenge "for science"

Here is day 02 of 30. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/FIT_Goat/view/day-2-30-ground-beef-814926
I also include pictures of exactly what ground beef I will be eating.0 -
Go @Fit_Goat!! I'm not surprised with the decreased intake! I think it's good that you jumped on in too! My brain keeps telling me reasons to not do it, but I'm not listening! If it weren't for my vacay coming next week, I would have jumped too! I'm anxious to get started once I have control over my food selection!!0

@Fit_Goat Do your wife and you eat separately? I am going to assume, YES! But did you eat separately before you started this mono-regime?0

One of these days I'm going to re-typeset Fat of the Land so we can read it more easily!
I'm so annoyed by eating this week. I was going to add butter back in on Tuesday but now I'm thinking of shifting to the ground beef diet. I mentioned it in passing to my husband last night and he didn't do his usual balk. Either he's given up on my sanity, or having just worked out, iron-rich food sounded pretty good to him, too.

We've even separately for a long time, because I only eat meat. We might eat with each other, but it's never the same food.
Weight was down again today. I'll post details before going to bed. Today is going to be a long day.0 -
Okay, I'm starting today. Tossing my lunch, tossing the leftovers if no one else eats them. I already had coffee with MCT, vitamins, and bouillon broth today, but I'll be cutting that all out as of this moment!
So my starting weight is 142.8
My body fat percentage is unknown - self-estimate of 25%, husband says closer to 20.
My TDEE is estimated by that one site as 1929, by my Fitbit as 1600 - 1700 on a standard day.
I'm going.. I.. I'm going to try and limit my coffee. I am to the point where I'm drinking 2 - 3 black coffees per day, and I think I could cut it out entirely if I chose to. So if I'm truly doing an elimination protocol with this, that'll go out, too. We'll see how that works. Starbucks won't know what hit them. XD
This is still technically dairy-free but I'm abandoning my reporting of that since it did nothing noticeable for me over the last 11 days.0 -
Yay @glossbones!! Can't wait to hear your results too!!0
-
Count me in! I'm in it for the PIG! Bacon, with some boston butt & pork loin thrown in ... and a pork belly ,if I can find any.... starting Sunday!! I may have to fly over to PaleoinScotland's to enjoy pork belly...lol
Fit_Goat, I admire you to be able to go ground beef... Best wishes! You got this!0 -
So I tried to get a big fat juicy burger patty for lunch, but I was meeting a friend who wasn't planning to eat so I was trying to find something convenient for her. I ended up stopping at Wendy's on the way to meet her at Starbucks. :P
So I ate the patties from a "Double stack" only, and bought an Ethos water bottle from Starbucks.
The patties were pretty pathetic, but that's okay because I wasn't ravenously hungry, just knew I would be during the afternoon if I didn't eat. So tiny patties plus the water. Interesting, I think, that I finally got the heartburn today that people tell me comes from drinking at the same time as eating. Guess I'll make sure those two are separated by a few hours from now on.
Going to get some fresh ground chuck on the way home - half pound meat patty for dinner!0 -
I bought 6 pounds of 75/25 ground beef today so it will be here when I return!
Good job @glossbones!! 0 -
I'm excited to start tomorrow. I just threw everything away that was left in my fridge, other than a couple slabs of pork belly, which is all I'm going to eat - shooting for 30 days, we'll see how far I get.
Was going to include bacon, but I want to avoid the cured meats as they gives me heartburn. Skipping the bacon means I can drink my coffee black and skip the egg I was going to have to help me stomach the bacon every day.
Just salt and pepper for seasoning so that no extra carbs sneak in.
Come on over and join me @Time2LoseWeightNOW0 -

Good job @glossbones!!
Thanks! I picked up three pounds of 80/20. I think target has the 75/25, but not in any sort of quantity. I had an 8oz patty, grilled slightly (mostly it was still raw inside).
Feel like I might still be hungry. can't tell. My stomach feels distended so I'm assuming the hunger is psychosomatic based on knowing I'm going to have a basic menu for a while.
My husband seems to have realized what this trial entails. "So you're not having corned beef this week...?"
Failed on the no coffee thing. It's freezing, and besides, if we are going to compare me as a female counterpart to FIT_Goat, I actually need to increase my intake.0 -
Went to the store and grabbed some burger tonight. They only had 45 pounds out. So, I am 10 pounds short. But, this will last a while. On a bright note, the meat was labeled $11.29 for each chub, but it rung up $9.99 a chub. That's $2/lb. The total was $89.91 for the 45 pounds.
There's a lot of hate for this on the bottom of the original blog post. Apparently, I have attracted the attention of the non-low-carb people. If it gets worse, I might limit my blog to friends only. I don't want to do that, but we will see.
Edit: I deleted some of the low-content posts. That should stir the hornet's nest.

I saw that and had the strong urge to rip them a new one, but that would only make things worse.0 -

I have made it friends only for now. Sorry, but I will friend just about anyone from here. I don't need the drama. More importantly, I want to avoid getting on the bad side of MFP. They're "tolerant" of low-carb, but I doubt they would be willing to accept a debate about how eating just meat can be healthy.0

Oh, man. I wish I had seen all the blog comments. I forgot how mainstream America would consider this a freak show. We've grown so used to it around here.
Open up the blog to everybody, but make them pay to view.

We are friends but I clicked on the link you posted earlier and it says I can view your blog.

You can't? Can anyone else see it? I might go back to opening it up, but deleting buttloads of comments, if it becomes a problem.0

Just read it all without problems!0

Maybe it's because I'm on my phone.0

It might be. It probably takes you to your web-browser, and you might not be logged in there.0 -
Here is day 3
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/FIT_Goat/view/day-3-30-ground-beef-816751
As you can see, scale weight is dropped again. For a total of 4.4 pounds in 2 days. I didn't think I had that much water weight to lose. The trend-line has only moved 0.3 kg, which is the line I really pay attention to.
At the end of the week, I'll probably post a picture of the graph of these numbers.
Edit: I have added the couple people who asked to be friends to keep seeing it. You all probably missed some of the better messages. But, I only deleted like 6. Stuff that was really just offensive and offered little content, like saying I was going to win a Darwin Award. I really don't mind if people disagree, if they are willing to try and accept the fact that they could be wrong. I would say they should try it themselves, but most of them would blame the first negative thing that happened to them to this way of eating. "My car got a flat tire! I told you we need vegetables!"0 -
lol when the mainstream MFP hordes descend upon you, I'd say that's how you know you're doing something right0

Sounds about right!0 -

Still can see it here!0

I saw the comments on the initial post. Some of them were awful. On the bright side, that's a lovely basket of meat you have there!
