    I do not do a fresh ground beef diet but do try to eat at least .5 pounds with 10 packs of mustard and a few cups of coffee heavy on half and half cream daily if past a McDonald's.

    I have lost some weight in this heat and was very hungry at lunch and ate one pound of fresh ground beef with 30 packs of mustard and coffee with half and half at the cost of $5.69

    Losing 10 pounds put me back down to around 200 but anyone over 60 losing weight may negativity impact longevity. I just learned that fact recently.

    You should buy your mustard in the gallon jug at Costco. :)

    I'm on a steak, bacon, fish, seafood, and egg diet. It's working great for me. I do supplement some nutrients like vitamin c, d, e, k2, folate, and iodine but not every day.

    Mustard is high in selenium and decent amounts of thiamine and manganese. Maybe you are lacking these nutrients?

    When I was a kid I used mustard like some use peanut butter to make sandwiches.

    I'm not sure if the disagree is for the statement itself, or just a general objection to sarcasm?

    I thought it was funny because I choose a lot of food based on nutrient density, not just taste. Inside joke, although not really funny.

    I'm on day 3 of an egg fast right now. A ground beef diet is suddenly sounding very appealing. ;) I've been struggling to lose weight even doing what worked for me when I first started keto and getting frustrated, trying different things to mix things up. Egg fasts have helped me break through plateaus twice before so I'm hopeful but if this doesn't work I might give the ground beef diet a try.

    Eggs and steak are mostly all I eat right now. I’m definitely not hungry most of the time.

    Btw, I am NOT impressed by how the egg fast is working so far. :/
    For context, I've waffled a bit in the 145-147 range for a while.
    Start of egg fast: 147 (GW: 133)
    Morning of day 2: 145.4
    Morning of day 3: 146.0
    Morning of day 4: 145.6

    What is going on?! I decided to give it one more day, but I am discouraged that it's not doing much. I was hoping to break through that 145 plateau that I can't seem to get below in recent months. (144.8 two weeks ago but bounced back up.)

    Did anybody you guys experience cravings when you made the switch to only eggs/ground beef/carnivore?
