Ranting for a minute.
Screw the know-it-all "my opinion is the only right one!!" *kitten* on diet Facebook groups.
Carnivore/keto group and someone asked about spreadable tinned meat. 0 carb so if they're dirty keto, it's all good.

After said ahole tells the person no (that they shouldn't eat it) I chime in with my own opinion that if he enjoys it and it works for him, then go for it.

Here comes ahole to tell me that I basically told the poster that he should have chips with it too and how my advice is terrible.
Doesn't give a reason WHY they think it is... Just that I'm wrong.
Seriously??

Someone come tell me why my advice is terrible? It's a carnivore/keto group so OBVIOUSLY I'm not telling anyone to go eat an entire bag of chips or anything of the aort. Well.. obvious to people with functioning damn brains. And not everyone is going to be strict with their diet. If eating some tinned meat or having diet soda or eating a bazillion other not so great things keeps someone eating healthier overall, then you are damn right I'm going to say what I said over and over again bc IMO it is damn good advice and some people need to know they're not the only ones that indulge in not so great foods.
People need to know that they don't have to be strict and perfect all the damn time bc that's why people stop their diets ALL THE TIME.

Ahole is lucky theyre an admin in the group bc I have a potty mouth and I'm not afraid of confrontation on facebook. But I like the group so I held back when replying to the ahole.

Just... uuuuuuugh so annoyed!

Exactly. That is one thing I've learned on this journey.... you have to do whatever diet you're on your own way. Perfect or not so perfect. People always say that eating healthier is a lifestyle... Well I'm sure the majority of people aren't going to be super strict for the rest of their life or even a month in to their diet.
We ALL know how easily you can give up on a diet b/c you're just not happy doing it.

If being super strict is working and you're happy... that's awesome! Keep it up!
If having a cheat day every week is working and you're happy.... that's awesome! Keep it up!
If having some processed not so great food is working and you're happy..... that's awesome! Keep it up!

But apparently telling folks that and encouraging them to do what works for them is horrible advice.

Anyway.

I think I had too much salt yesterday. Feeling a little bloated.

Also, the dizziness was back this morning. Got up to use the bathroom and stumbled b/c I got dizzy right as I stood.
Looking up info on it, this seems pretty common during water fasts. Low blood pressure. BUT some info says it's from lack of salt, which I'm definitely not lacking b/c of the bouillon I'm using. Suggestions are to increase salt & water intake though and I think that's my problem.
I'm definitely not getting in enough water right now.
Will increase my water intake today and hope it helps.

Almost had a disaster last night too.
I leave my bone broth on the counter to cool off some before putting in to the fridge. I completely forgot to put it up before I went to bed. I couldn't get to sleep for a good hour though so I was just laying in bed when I suddenly realized that I had left my broth sitting on the counter! DOH!
Thank goodness I couldn't get to sleep. I even went to bed early too b/c I was feeling tired. That definitely would've put an end to my bone broth fast lol.

asgentr- Yep, I use a little bit of salt substitute in my broth along w/ some epsom salt and baking soda. Not a lot though.

sandy- Yeah, I'm not looking for a strict group of anything b/c I'm certainly not strict with keto, carnivore or OMAD. The group with the A-hole admin isn't strict either so not sure what crawled up that person's butt last night b/c they're usually nice. Guess they were just looking to start something and I was the one they mistakenly picked.

Also a part of an OMAD group on FB and there are definitely the know-it-alls there too. The majority of the people are really nice though. Just gotta deal with some of the bad when dealing with large groups of people.. especially on social media lol.


In other news... feeling ok still. No more dizzy spells thankfully, but still need to drink more water.

Your thoughts/comments on the day: Yep... I had to eat. Starting at around 4 I just started feeling horrible. Straight up BAD. Shaky and started getting hot flashes. I wasn't actually hungry, but the feeling wasn't going away.
Maybe just bone broth would've gotten me through, but I made the decision to eat something b/c aint no challenge worth risking my health over.
I mean, maybe it's just one of those fasting/super low calorie fasting things that you just have to push through. I dunno, but it came on suddenly and freaked me out a bit.
Feeling better after eating and still lower than usual in calories so I'm not going to beat myself up about not making it a full week of just bone broth.
I am going to continue on with the bone broth only though and try my best to make it until Sunday.. then I'll have me a giant steak and whatever else for dinner lol

misty- Thanks for that! I don't feel bad about eating at all. Yeah, it would've been nice to have been able to go the whole week, but almost 4 full days is the longest I've gone so far and that's pretty darn awesome in my book

It was suggested that maybe it was a lack of electrolytes. Not sure, but going to add more potassium, etc to my broth and hope that feeling doesn't happen again. Also going to make sure to chug down more water too!
