I want to do this too. It would make the food elimination I'm doing dead simple. But I have 2 problems:
1. Sjogren's (dry body syndrome). Ketosis makes my dryness shoot up to apocalyptic hell.
2. My husband thinks he's the Veggie Police. And thinks I'm one step away from the the nuthouse as it is (about the food elimination) and would have me committed.
Otherwise, I'd be on this like stink on a skunk.1 -
Edit: Not slow, you just don't know. We all didn't know once.
Yeah CKD is [something] Kidney Disease.
There is no indication that protein causes kidney disease. If you have kidney disease, protein can become an issue.
Macro = macronutrients (protein, fat, carbs)
Usually people are talking about specific percentages or grams of each. I don't worry too much about them. Most meativore foods put you in the 65% fat and 35% protein to the 85% fat and 15% protein range. It naturally falls in a good spot. Carbs will be near 0% or effectively so.4 -
I'm so glad I wasn't around earlier for that mess.
Anyway. I'm super excited for getting down to business in May. I've started back up doing 5x5 and looking forward to leaning out a bit just in time for my vacation which is now in June instead of July!
I really only need to cut alcohol, very occasional stevia use and even more rare piece of dark chocolate to be fully carnivore.
I think I'm going to focus on beef, probably ground beef cuz I need to be thrifty. Other meats and eggs will be here and there.
I may try to track too just for curiosity sake.
I wish I could buy some ketone blood strips to put that whole "too much protein" idea to rest! I couldn't possibly be more tired of that half assed argument.

Getting mentally prepared for this challenge! I know it will be delicious but that sugar monster is trying to pop out ONLY cuz I decided to do this challenge. I went to low carb mecca, Aldis and some great deals on meat, cheese, eggs .48 a doz, and hwc. Stocked up on the essentials and making a plan!

Great idea! I need to be a better planner. I need to check out my Aldi's and stock up!1 -
I love Aldis! I wish I liked lamb cuz they had rack of lamb all gussied up and on sale..whole seasoned pork shoulder too. My plan is to ZC during the work week and keto level carbs on the weekend. I've been getting a little loosy goosy with my carbs and I want to reign it in. I'm so close to my goal but not there yet!

All this prep and I am being caught short of meat. I need to go shopping, but it's not in the budget until next week. Fortunately, I have a bunch of frozen goat in the deep freeze. Looks like it's going to be goat on goat action around here for a while.3

Do Lupins count as veg.....?)
How much are you consuming? Why? What are the benefits you're looking for?
It's a plant, but are you using it in amounts that count as seasoning?
I hadn't seen that one.
Sorry, Goat, it's a Monty Python skit.
"Shut up! This is a hold up, not a botany lesson!"
"So much for the lupins..."
All I could think of in 'opposition' to SPAM was "And now, the larch" - don't think I've ever seen the lupines one and I'm a big fan, lol.
Oooops, sorry, off track....
Spam, spam, spam, spam.

I need to get prepared, have been trying to get back on a majority meat for the last week or so, still having lots of cravings and fell off the wagon yesterday but if I am fully prepared with the right food in the house I will be fine - I am going to start zero carb fully from next weekend and take this week to reduce the carbage down and finish up the veggies I have in the house so that I am on track fully in time for the 1st May2

I wouldn't complain if someone wanted to start a month-long group for this . . . Preferably soon because I'm starting Monday (early) . . . But, who am I to make demands? We could have check ins to stay accountable - weekly carb totals (aiming for low), weight loss (even if that's not the goal), ???. Just a thought... 1

It's half tempting to just have a group, with how popular this has gotten.All this prep and I am being caught short of meat. I need to go shopping, but it's not in the budget until next week.

Does that mean you've gone full cannibal?
Oh no! Someone pull him back! Save him!6 -
I was thinking just last night of having a group so we don't flood this one with threads and updates. Great minds think alike.6 -
If it were a separate group for 'meativore May,' would it be a new group each month this is done? Wouldn't that be difficult to manage / maintain?
I know some don't plan to track calories, but I'm so close to goal and can't trust that I won't gain or maintain instead. I'll stick with animals, but just can't eat as much as I want. It might be worth a try to skip calorie restriction later... after I reach goal weight.0 -

This is the group. It will be a long-term place for eating this way, but starts as a place to concentrate these threads. I will fill out the rest of the information, photos, etc. when I get home from my son's baseball game.
Edit: it is private, for obvious reasons that have been demonstrated in this thread.7 -
Yep. And I will clean up and repost a lot of the information in buried threads from here. So, it will be easier to find.2 -

For the last 30 years, I have been unable to walk past a larch without snickering... Or walking funny.

If I only use the seeds from my jalapeños as seasoning instead of the whole peppers, is that acceptable? The taste of fresh from the garden peppers is just better than any sauces or seasoning.0

I totally will allow a slice or two of jalapeno, although I cook with them and then don't eat the vegetable itself. I'll allow the seeds. Personally, cutting them up and soaking them (seeds and all) in vinegar makes a nice hot sauce that I can sprinkle on stuff.2 -
At first meativore May scared me and I thought no way I could do it. After reading all the posts, maybe I can?!? I mapped out a list of dinners for the whole month. Someone suggested dinner leftovers for next day lunch, I can do that. Most days recently I am content with just coffee for breakfast. I can even give up trivia if I'm having HWC. Pickle juice will be a must. Hubby is being supportive, I can easily make veg for him while making my meat.3

This is how I felt, I am coming around to the idea the more I read. May is just a bad month for me to try this, I may start mid month and go into June.3 -

That may work better for me too. I have Mother's Day and my anniversary on the 14, and something else prior to that. ... but nothing in the later half and early June.1 -
If later is better, just start later. Some of us do this all the time. You won't be alone.2

I've been doing lchf for 7 weeks now. In 2003, I had great success with original Atkins. In 2013, I had limited success on Atkins New Diet Revolution.
At the end of 2014, I started getting horrendous digestive complaints that lasted for nearly 18 months, when after receiving a diagnosis of diverticular disease AND ibs, I started to see a Low Fodmap dietitian as part of the NHS. Low fodmap has improved my digestive situation but I still had bloating and decided to try this WOE again alongside the low fodmap.
When I was accepted on to this group 10 days ago, the first thing I did was read through group expectations. Since then I've been reading through loads of the discussion forums that have been very helpfully collated by the moderators.
Whilst still being new to lchf, whilst still getting my head around the science, whilst still checking out something before I make an opinion on it, here's a bit of advice: rather than put forward an argument, instead put forward a question. Rather than state someone is wrong because their advice doesn't tie in with what we "know", first check out whether what we know is actually right.
I've been loving this forum because there hasn't been any disparaging, derogatory or dismissive comments being made. But I had to stop reading the discussion after page 4 because of the very thing we're advised to be mindful of.
Us newbies are new to keto and we came to this forum to learn from those having great success with it. Let's enjoy learning from them xxx

... Apologies to all if the issues I highlighted in my last post actually ended 4 pages ago xxx 0
