Yall. I'm so annoyed.
The digital scale we had was broken so we need to get a new one. The regular? non digital? one we have is off by a pound or so so you never know exactly which way to add or subtract.
So.. looked on amazon to get a new scale while I was thinking about it.
Frickin glass tops. Almost every single digital scale is a glass top!!
NO! Just NO.
I don't care that it's tempered and has a 400lb weight limit. The last thing my fat butt wants to do is step on GLASS barefoot. NM that I've seen that yes, there is the possibility of it shattering! NO THANK YOU.
What the hell happened to regular ole plastic??

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Walmart still carries the same scale we had. Even though it did break, we had it for years so it's not like it was a piece of crap.
Will see what Target has first though just to see if there's something different we can try.
Just annoyed as crud that everything is glass top. Or something that covers the glass top just in case it breaks. Yeah... no.... no... no no no. Especially w/ my kids who like jumping around on the scales. That would be a disaster waiting to happen if it was glass.

So.. had hamburger patties w/ giant globs of spiced cream cheese last night. SO GOOD.
I just softened the cream cheese in the microwave. Then added garlic and onion powder to it. Nothing fancy. Brought a nice cheesy tang to my meal which was needed. I needed some variety. Something different than just savory on savory.
Have some leftover and will be using it on the steak tonight!

OO speaking of steak... we bought some Prime sirloin steaks discounted Saturday. Had them the same night. Best steaks I've had in a long time. Even better than ribeye. It wasn't super fatty which is fine, but holy moly... it was great. Just the right amount of tenderness and chew to it. SO good. I guess there really is a difference between Prime & Choice.

Anywho.. no reflux or nausea yesterday. Yay BUT still had a case of late night poops. SO damn annoyed by it b/c it happens at about 2-3am. Just late enough that I can't take another melatonin and if I don't take a melatonin and actually get back to sleep? It's only for another 30min before having to get up. The times where I do risk taking a melatonin, I wake up even more tired. It's just... UGH very annoying. This is when the monster drinks come in handy! YAY sweet addictive caffeine! lol

Just bought some ox bile to try out to help my digestion which needs as much help as it can get. Really hoping it helps w/ the late night pooping and the nausea and reflux issues when eating high fat.
DH hasn't been having any issues though. He doesn't have the gut problems I have thank goodness.

Oh and speaking of high fat. SO much conflicting information about this diet!
One person loses weight eating MORE fat while others have to eat less to lose weight. UGH! Why can't things be simple?? lol
Just got to see what works for me I guess.

I am still planning to eventually OMAD. I don't know when that will be though. I think if the ox bile helps and I can start eating more fat, it will definitely help me feel more satisfied and less hungry as often since my body will actually be absorbing and using everything I'm eating.
OMAD aint happening yet, but in time, it will

I do love veggies. SIGH....
It won't always be this way, but I will be trying to stick with it for as long as possible and having some 'cheats' here and there w/ veggies I love.

My appetite has been weird today. Hungry in the morning. Fine all day and then dinner rolls around and I get nauseated. I ate the steak. Not all the fat like I normally would though and feel fine now. Hunger nausea? /shrugs

Do you know what the expected weight loss is on this type of diet? I can see how it would be beneficial I guess since cavemen had to eat this way . Wishing you lots of luck and sending you hugs ----hopefully your tummy will settle down soon!!

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the weight loss tbh. It's not really a weight loss diet. More of a healing diet and weight loss can be one of the benefits.
There's this one woman that has been on a carnivore diet for 10+ years. When she first started, she was already at a healthy weight and gained about 20lbs in 6m doing it, but once her body had healed itself, the weight came back off. I really hope that WON'T be the case for myself since I'm not at a healthy weight currently lol, but we'll see.
Lady's name is Kelly Hogan. You have to look up "Kelly Hogan carnivore" or zero carb to find her. She also has a blog called my zero carb life. I haven't looked in to that. Just watched a couple of interviews she's done where she talks about her experience.

My goal is a bit more shallow right now and backwards. I'm hoping for the weight loss and improved health as the bonus Like.. 70% lose weight and 30% get healthy... rofl


Alrighty... so next week... going to greatly decrease the amount of diet soda I drink. Right now, along w/ the monster which is basically the same thing as diet soda, just w/ more caffeine.... it's all I'm drinking. I drink like a sip of water in the morning and at night when I take my meds and that's it lol. Yeesh. That's embarrassing to admit but it's the truth.
I need to get back to one a day if that much (along w/ the monster b/c I'm not ready to give up the caffeine just yet lol).
While I don't think diet soda is poison, I know it can't be that great that I'm drinking as much as I am. So yep... goal for next week!
At least the stuff I drink is caffeine free though so there won't be any sort of weird withdrawal to go through other than just my want.

Also no nausea or reflux last night! WOO! I took an enzyme w/ my dinner and I guess it helped. Maybe even helped w/ early morning poop too b/c I didn't. I woke up feeling a really slight need to go, but it wasn't urgent so I went back to sleep. I did have to go as soon as I got up this morning though, but hey... I still got to sleep instead of laying awake after pooping :P lol

And finally... went to walmart this morning. Fully intended on checking out their scales AND...... I completely forgot as soon as I stepped foot in to the store /facepalm

Oh I almost forgot.... the not so great adventures of my life! lol

So... I bought beef liver tablets to take b/c... while I don't mind eating liver.. it's not my fav thing in the world and I have to be in a certain mood to eat it, so figured a liver tablet would work.
Remembered to take one this morning. BUT I took it with hot coffee... as in I could only take a tiny sip of the coffee which wasn't enough to get the tablet down my throat completely.
I could feel the pill in my throat, but figured it was just a residual feeling and not actually the pill (should say gel cap w/ like a liver dust in it).
I get distracted b/c I'm potty training my youngest.
About.. 5? 10? minutes later, I'm sitting in the bathroom with him while he's on the potty and I burp... welp... apparently the gel cap had dissolved completely? Partially? B/c my burp ended up pushing up liver dust up in to my mouth and sinuses. /gag

Want to know what that tastes like? B/c I sure as heck didn't and could've gone my whole life without knowing. Like liver flavor x10 but also with this almost rancid hint to it.

Cue me running to get a drink of something to get the nastiness down and blowing my nose to try to get it out of my sinuses.

YUCK!!!
