I've already been promised a freshly prepared redo whenever I return from the land of ground and unseasoned beef.

My husband reports the corned beef he made tonight was the best he ever served. Proud of him that even though the big bad Keto Drill Sergeant wasn't partaking, he still made mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes. Meanwhile I ate a pound of ground beef, skillet seared. Didn't quite get all the grease because the skillet…

The earlier I start eating, the more meals I end up having. The days I feel best are the ones where I don't get around to eating until early-to-mid afternoon. Then I usually only eat once or twice. I also found that the higher my carb intake (I range from 3g/day to 35g/day), the more often I get hungry.

I apparently now consider a half-pound patty "petite." Glad I was the only one in the kitchen when it was time to pour the burger grease in a paper cup and drink it. ;)

:D So this morning the scale is moving back in the right direction. That erroneous 0.2 lb is back off. And considering yesterday I worked out, had a LOT more water, and added salt, I'm surprised it's not higher, or the same as yesterday. Yesterday I ate an additional 500 calories just before I went to sleep. Can't call…

Thanks! I downloaded it, but haven't tried it yet. Looks like they're all guided meditations, and you can make a sort of 'playlist'. Reminds me of the Yogaglo exercise library from the looks of it.

In my opinion MFP is really just not geared for anything but a SAD CICO-based diet. I think it's far easier to just accept the shortcomings and not waste any money on it!

Awesome! Can't wait to hear how those results come back!

Awesome work! This is a sticky post we definitely need! (if only the stickies would stick in the "All discussions" view)

Oh! Just noticed I never linked to my own blog posts here. I've been loosely tracking my progress on this, more commentary than numbers. But I will do a weekly comparison using FIT_Goat's progress graph combined with fresh measurements from my Myotape. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/glossbones

Nope, I was up the road from my office. It's $21 per person for a lunch (6 meats) Rodizio and $29 for dinner (10 meats), or something like $10/lb for pay-by-weight. Now I'm feeling super thankful for that place. I'll have to go back April 11th!

Yay! I'm a few days behind, so my weekly recap will be on Saturday. :) And yes, you totally need to go eat Brazilian as a birthday treat! They're made for low carb! (And there's usually mac n cheese on the lineup for the carbingers of doom).

Wow! I went to one where you have the option of rodizio or pay-by-weight. I paid for a full filet mignon and it was only $7-something. My entire meal (just me) including espresso and soda water AND tip was $15!

For just eating meat (beyond these 30 days), if you can find a Brazilian buffet you can usually make out like a bandit.

It certainly doesn't feel good to pay for a dinner at a restaurant when they charge five times the cost of the meat, and don't even save the grease for you!

Things are cruising on happily with my ground beef elimination experiment. Weight is still dropping. Other markers appear to be improving. I might need a little bit of sodium, but I'll add that to my water, because salting meat now tastes weird. :P I may eliminate all but my morning coffee. I haven't been finishing the…

I'm blaming @FIT_Goat for the coffee. You know, if we're doing a male/female comparison, I should try to match his efforts as much as possible. Yup, that's it. It's for science. What a sacrifice! I did skip coffee last Friday at lunch and by the evening I was SO OVER the meat and water concept that I added the coffee back.…

Thanks! I weigh it on a scale before cooking and eat everything, including the drippings. When I grill, I only sear the outside a tiny bit so I don't lose much.

I seem to be losing as much poundage as I'm consuming in ground beef. I'm down 4.4 lbs since I began. I'll take myotape measurements on Saturday morning (one week from the last set of measurements). Last night I wished I'd cooked my 12 oz burger a little longer, I think more for texture than aversion to the raw inside.…

You mean physically ill, and by the end of the month? Or just tired of the flavor, pretty much immediately? Both @FIT_Goat and I have already passed through (at least one) phase of not finding the ground beef appetizing. Sounds like we both came through it just fine. So far I have consumed just under four pounds. I think…

In a perfect world our cattle would all be organic, untreated, pastured, and grain finished (for fat). This ain't a perfect world. But I'm way healthier eating my American food lot cattle than I am eating my American food lot cattle, grains, AND the chemical soup that is the world of packaged 'food product.'

I think Disney recognizes that the price of admission at the gates is a limiting factor, and if they forced you to buy their food, they'd cull their crowd population too much. They also understand different diets, and their international crowd, and that some people bring food to save money that they then spend on…

This morning I didn't spend any time trying to analyze my hunger signals, as I normally would. I think I was just so excited to have gotten up at my proper time rather than oversleep (it was dark out so I was paranoid I'd fall back asleep too deep), I didn't want to waste in on anything so silly as cooking my food. :P I'm…

Yep you just can't bring a rolling cooler. ;) Or probably steak knives. Good thing this isn't a chuck steak challenge.

Thanks! I figured it had to be something simpler than I was trying to make it. So a Bubba Burger is still just 80/20, the benefit is in the serving size.

My Green & Black 85% dark chocolate does not contain milk! See if you can find that brand! Or I'd be willing to mail you some! I know exactly what you mean, and I wish you the same success I had with dairy elimination. It's worth knowing, though. I'm finding it easier to be mindful in doing this ground beef experiment.…

Feeling hungry today! I got up and refused to make myself food while everyone else was still asleep and I'd have a chance to write (I ruined two such chances yesterday), so I didn't eat until just before noon. I was fine on two cups of (last night's reheated) decaf coffee. Wrapped up writing and ate the leftovers of that…

Lolol I had the same thought about the grinding. I just don't have a grinder. I did the same thing this afternoon: cooked a pound and only ate 12 oz (weighed what was left). I'm feeling major cravings for things I haven't craved in a long time. Wondering if this could be the death rattle of an unidentified candida…

Sooo.... Beautiful!!

Thanks! I picked up three pounds of 80/20. I think target has the 75/25, but not in any sort of quantity. I had an 8oz patty, grilled slightly (mostly it was still raw inside). Feel like I might still be hungry. can't tell. My stomach feels distended so I'm assuming the hunger is psychosomatic based on knowing I'm going to…
