They did but I get what you're saying.
If there's one thing we should all know by now, its that we shouldn't be so sure about any of the conventional methods we've always believed were true. Especially if there's large groups of people finding great benefits by doing the opposite. The truth may be that it not for everyone, but it's clearly for some people and that's enough reason to discuss and introduce the idea to those that have never considered it.
Nobody gets bent out of shape if someone tries something and decides it's not for them. But that doesn't mean it's for no one.4 -
I'm super lucky, my office has a toasted sandwich maker, I just throw on some baking paper (so the vegetarians don't get upset by my use of the shared machine) and then whack on any piece of meat that takes my fancyDragonwolf wrote: »I do have a question for you all -- what do you do for the midday meal when you work outside the house? When I did it last time, I worked from home and had the luxury of cooking up a pound of ground meat for lunch. I can shift that to dinner, but I can't fast for that long and need to eat by noon. I tried cooking the ground up (even if only barely) and then reheating it at work, but that was...lackluster. I like being able to eat it right out of the skillet.
ground beef, venison, eye fillet steak.... haven't quite gotten to Chicken yet but it's on the list!

Oh, and I think I'm in!0

I have decided, I can make a seasoning out of the peppers from my garden rather than eating them straight...at least for May, so I'm in. And, what I don't use, I will pickle for later use.1

That's such a good idea....Even for mine at home because they are such a pain to clean sometimes!

i remember the first time this was done, I had just started low carb and new this was way too much for me at that time. now I'm contemplating it. I've been eating high protein low fat for a month now for a six week program that is up on may 6th. I cant even tell you how much I miss fat and I keep thinking about all the yummy fat I will eat once I can again. thinking this might be fun to mix in with my regular lchf here and there.0

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.
For the last 30 years, I have been unable to walk past a larch without snickering... Or walking funny.
And any mention of cheese still brings a smile to my face.
@canadjineh, SPAM is not off track here, it is all fat and meat, no veggies were ever killed to produce SPAM.1 -
I know SPAM is on track lol. I just meant that lupines, larches, and Monty Python might be off track.

I know the SPAM sketch. Never seen the other one.
I haven't had SPAM in ages. This is making me want some.2 -

I could never hang out anywhere that Monty Python was not welcome. Just sayin'.2 -

And just like that you've provided the answer I've read the last ~100 posts for. I'm gonna eat a *kitten* ton of eggs, but I'll be damned if I'm eating one egg ever without hot sauce on it.cstehansen wrote: »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.
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.

Hot sauce is fine. That is seasoning. I love hot sauce.1 -
Tomorrow is the big day. Does everyone have their meat ready? Did everyone join the other group?2

I am ready and raring to go - have already started and starting to feel better already2

I'm ready to go as well! Fridge/freezer loaded up. A large pork shoulder ready to be slow roasted tomorrow until it starts to get a bit crispy to be served with a fried egg over the top-YUM! A great start to to great May!3

Groceries and meal prep started yesterday - burgers and chicken thighs. I am also tossing a pork shoulder in the slow cooker. Prepping some sausage for breakfast (with eggs) for the week. I'm excited! I don't even think I need to go grocery shopping next week with what I threw in the freezer. That's awesome!!
Loving my "warm up" week this week. So glad I started cutting back substantially on chocolate and sweets and wiped stevia out of my life for good. Don't know why that messes me up so much, but it is in the garbage - and I never toss food. Didn't realize how tough it would be for me to quit sweets, but I am SO looking forward to - not dreading at all - that aspect of this.5 -

That is a hard one! I'm the same way!
I have been down to stevia use only a couple times a week in tea. Very minimal even and dang it's hard to just quit!!! And my dark chocolate habit... though it's so little at any given time and only a couple times a week, it's still a crutch! May is going to be hard-core!
But it's going to be full of burgers, bacon and eggs which are my true favorite foods!0 -
I almost didn't do this when I realized we couldn't have chocolate. I thought, "NO WAY!" But, it's a challenge and I like challenges. If I hadn't decided to do this, I'd still be eating sweets and stevia, regularly. And, if I had such a horrible reaction when I quit stevia, I can't imagine what it was doing to me and how much worse it would get over time. My hope (and someone mentioned this before) is to see (example) raspberries as a special treat in a month. What I am going to do about a sweetener? Not a clue. Hopefully won't care.
One thing that's funny - 4+ weeks on keto and I can't stand chocolate chips. Me!! Saying "yuck" to chocolate chips! Messed. Up.2 -

Great minds think I like. I've had one roasting in the oven since early this morning. I looks and smells delicious!

I started a few days early because I finished my perishable non-carnivore food. Feeling good. Just finished dividing my roast from the slow cooker into 4 of my lunches. I added some bacon for extra flavor. I have done that before and it worked well.
The hardest part so far has been no Diet Dr Pepper in the afternoon. I may start having some green tea as a replacement. I am abstaining from all sweeteners, so not sure if I will end up drinking this or not. I haven't had any unsweetened for a long time. I thought it was disgusting then, but that was back when most of my food had some sort of sweetener in it. I know my tastebuds have changed significantly so it might be ok.1
