I find it interesting when you say "all your nutrition". Given that some people eat only meat, some meat, eggs and cheese.... what does that even mean any more?

I did try this thing called Soylent a while back and the non keto version was pretty darned good IMO if you get a good recipe. I may look into the keto version.

I am amassing fat bomb recipes though and your bacon and egg one is intriguing! Do tell!

I meant nutrients/macros - essentially anything you need to function, rather than just excess junk that to me doesn't qualify...lol. So to me it really means the same thing it always has, it is just a relative term - it means something different in actual nutritional value to each person.

I remember the jokes about Soylent green from that movie, but didn't know there was a real deal.

As for the recipe, it was just one I found on one of the normal fat bomb searches. Basically, you make kind of an egg salad out of the middle, but using cream cheese instead of sour cream so that it'll hold it's shape, and then you roll it in bacon bits/crumbled bacon. LOL I don't remember the details, but I'll see if I can find where I saved it tonight.

thanks! I'm sure I can figure some thing out along those lines. Yeah, that would be a good option.

I didn't mean to sound challenging at all with my nutrition comment. It was more a rhetorical question.

The soylent, for anyone who's interested has no relation to the soylent green most people know about. The inventor guy chose an unfortunate name based on an inside joke involving soy and lentils.... but alas, it's like a diy nutrition shake. I don't think it's as good as eating real food, but it helped me out at the beginning.

There's a whole site dedicated to being able to make it yourself instead of having to buy expensive mixes.

the second recipe listed is a keto version.

No change but feeling great and noticing changes in how my clothes fit.

And we'll take FIT_goat for the win
That's not what I read, but I can't source where I read it, and that seems pretty official so. I'll go with that. I stand corrected.

I hope you don't mind if I steal that quote.

Wondering why I haven't been able to see this thread until now, I've been looking for it [rather obsessively lol] since Wednesday morning! I felt so excited to report in all through Wed but have to admit to feeling very over it now. Has it honestly been hidden, or am I a blind idiot??? However, to put away the childish behavior, this is what I wrote to myself on Wed when I did still feel enthusiastic...

Carb Goal - under 15g (going to have to change that to 20 because I've somehow had a 19g and a 17g day) so...
Amended Carb Goal - under 20g

Challenge Start Weight 84.6 kg Current Weight 83.5

I had to look up a product in my diary while I was at the supermarket today [that being Wednesday] and saw that on Saturday I was 200+ calories under goal, but I got out of the app fast so I didn't see any other results. I've lost at least 100 grams *every day* of this challenge. There was a 400g and a 200g as well. Firstly it was weight I'd put on suddenly, just in time for the first day of the challenge, but the last 3 mornings it's been 100 grams of new weight loss. Very thrilling! I'd always been afraid of eating 'too little' (whatever that means), so hiding the calories has been a blessing, even though it took some bravery to begin with. If I've been genuinely hungry in the late evening I've just had one tiny bit of food - a macadamia half and a walnut half or something to *just* keep me comfortable. It's very interesting.

Thanks Goat. It seems you're being proved right, big time, so far. It's win-win to date. For myself, it's the first time on LCHF that weight has fallen off me. I've truly had to work every ounce until this past week.

Good luck IaUC. I only found it scary until I started, then it was good. I hope you find the same!

Interesting note: I had zero emotinal response to any of the foods. I didn't particularly like or enjoy the chocolates but some how was possessed and had to keep eating them. Weird. I did enjoy the cake and ice cream and wine though I don't feel any cravings or the need to eat them again.

I dealt with that on Sunday, too. It was like I was compelled to eat more of the peanut butter M&Ms, even when I didn't want any other food (at least I actually wanted the Reese's eggs and stopped eating them). It's actually what I've dealt with for about as long as I can remember, but that LCHF has largely fixed for me. Before LCHF, I would have to fight to not eat, say, the cake, bagels, donuts, or candy that were a fairly regular thing at work in those days. I did better if I avoided that area altogether and didn't get a whiff of them, but once I started, it was downhill from there.

I'm still dealing with the water weight from that, since my body's slow to let go of that kind of thing, but I'm at least down from the 257 high I was on Tuesday, down to 254 this morning and yesterday morning. I've been walking as much as I can and reigning my carbs back in to help that along. Hopefully, I can at least get back down to my 252 pre-Easter weight before long.

Thankfully, the next big candy holiday is more than 6 months away, and this year, I'll be handing out something other than candy (I'm planning on glow sticks).
