So no sauces?? Even like keto ones w no carbs?

Nope. I'm keeping really strict 95% of the time. Beef, butter, eggs, and good salt. Fish to bump up omegas and some other trace minerals.
Good on ya! I can stick to that for like 3 days then I am done. I bet you are hella rewiring your dopamine pathways lol
Maybe. I have other issues with that. But, I'm losing fat and feeling better.
The week+ I was on vacation I didn't eat carnivore and after ~9 days, I had the same aches and pains as before. Not fun. It's going away with a week of eating much cleaner. I get much more signal from my body instead of just low level screaming all the time.
It was hard to cut out the carbs (especially rice!!!) until I just decided it was time to cut them out and it didn't take too long before my taste buds were really working again and I could taste things in meat I had never noticed before. Fat was sweet. The meat was much more savory and flavorful. Most of my cravings vanished, though, pizza still has a real hold on me. I managed to say no to pizza last night and that's a huge deal. I can walk away from free food. I couldn't do that before.
Most important is feeling better. I didnt mean going carby. More staying no carbish but adding a sauce that might spark joy. Sgt fish has a garlic sauce recipe that I will modify when I am doing keto and it really brightens my day and keeps me low carb bc it adds so much flavor.
Carbs def cause inflmmation and pain. Once you get a taste of not having your attention constantly pulled to some ache, then staying no/low carb is soooo much easier.
I will cycle no/low carb times and find this helps keep me more disciplined when i do it.
Excellent work on your journey. I know how hard you have worked and I am rooting for you🤘
I find that trying to add stuff in to what I'm eating is distracting and I mostly like how simple it is right now: thaw steak, grill steak. Heat pan, cook eggs. Salt. Use butter.
Besides, eating Angus porterhouse is NOT easy to top. 😁
Thank you. I have my goals and I'm still moving in the correct direction. Even moonlit setbacks are not data points, not the end of the world.
It is very different now. And it hasn't been too much work yet.
*minor setbacks
Moonlight setbacks is the name of my really bad jam band song. (not really)
