LOL I am savoring my last BPC. I may "cheat" some everyday and add a bit of coconut oil to my coffee each morning. I'll drop the stevia, HWC, and protein powder but I don't want to drop coconut oil. I noticed such a difference in cognitive function while using it, that I don't want to risk losing it. I'll keep my coconut oil under a tablsepoon per day though.

All right. I'm going with about 1600kcal per day. I'll try not to let kcals go below 1400, or above 1800. This seems like less than I have been eating but I'll go with it and see what happens. On Saturday night I'll probbly switch to more meats - that's when I'm making Easter dinner.

I sooooo hope I don't get sick of bacon during this week. That would be a tragedy!

Just realize the first couple of days might seem hard, just because you've told yourself you CAN'T have anything else. The temptation to give up was strongest in the first 18 hours for me. Then I snapped out of it.

I shall live vicariously through you.
I haven't had bacon in weeks. Too expensive here.

Haven't been on MFP in eons and come back to this. It was @FIT_Goat 's Meativore May challenge that CHANGED. MY. LIFE!! And I've been pretty much zero carb every since and as many cannot tell you the change. Whoa Nelly! I feel off a few times over the year and took about 3 weeks each time to get back on but now I see y'all doing this.... Coincidence?

Don't think so! We have an Easter dinner on Sunday with family members who will NOT cater to my zero carb WOE in any way (They'll likely make some form of past casserole or a ham drenched in sugar) and the Beast just says "it's just one day. Can you just be normal for one day" (he means it in the nicest way). So.... This is probably just what I'll need starting next monday to make sure I get back on track ASAP. I'm maid-of-honour for my girlfriends TWO weddings this September (GAH! Yes, they'll be getting married two times- two places for two sets of people... at least I'll get some mileage out of my dress!) I'm about 30lbs from goal... so this might jump start the loss. Havent' really loss since last September when I was Best-man in my other friends wedding. Following this experiment with great interest.

Thank you!

Btw: I'm another who changed their life with the Meativore May challenge last year!!

I wish these posts were more interesting, but nothing exciting it happening.

Well that's sort of the point, right? Food gets out of the way of life?

I also have been craving cheese. maybe it's the full moon. I need to stop fixating on what I'm going to eat when this is over.

My hormones are probably kicking into gear for later this week or early next, so that could be the cravings. Less excited about the prospect of sitting in the movie theater smelling popcorn on Thursday.

We have a friend coming into town next weekend, and the topic of taking him to that rodizio came up. I don't think they serve ground beef anything. Does masticated filet mignon count? Not sure what we will actually end up doing, really. We talked about picking up Pho for my husband and the friend, in which case I could easily grill myself a burger when we get home. Or in any case. I could just drink water and coffee wherever we go and eat after.

I was able to view both your blogs from my phone only, but not my iPad a few days ago. Now I can't view either. Kinda bummed...

Sometimes I have to log in separately for the browser view (yes even when I'm logged into the app).

I did that, but I'll try signing out and back in again. I just copy the link here, then paste it into safari... That used to work. But suddenly stopped...

Edit:
I had to open MFP in safari (like the other times I read the blogs) but log out and log back in. Then I pasted the link and it's all good again.
They really need to work out the kinks!

I can see your blog from my android phone n love the meat feast. I went sans counting calories for 10 days in USA and put on 5 pounds. Was eating mostly meat, bacon, egg n a few salads. Also some chocolate n cheese which I think may be evil. Back to counting calories tomorrow. Clearly my body has not learned hungry or not. I still have yummy, eat it n finish it (big serves in USA and only restaurants). Lord help me if a sweetener or cashew nut is consumed then I need to vacuum up everything. Wish I had the results others report with not counting n low carb. My bacon feast starts tomorrow.
