    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 @Time2LoseWeightNOW

    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.

    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. :lol:

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

    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.

    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.

    It might be. It probably takes you to your web-browser, and you might not be logged in there.

    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!"

    lol when the mainstream MFP hordes descend upon you, I'd say that's how you know you're doing something right

    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!
