Day 3 of OMAD, simply because my meals have been so satiating and it’s taking about 24 hrs or more to get hungry again. Works for me…I feel amazing!
Bacon wrapped sirloins (I ate both, 14 ounces total) and a lot of butter!
I had eggs multiple days in a row, so needed a break today.
Yes organs if you want. All ruminant animals for the “beef” part. I’ll be eating lamb chops as well. Can’t wait for those!
I’m back to BBBE (beef, butter, bacon, eggs) this week and feeling fabulous already!
4 fried eggs (I broke one yolk), much more pork belly than what’s on the plate 😉, plus butter. I didn’t get hungry until 24 hrs later.

Bone-in ribeye from Independence Ark Farm. Grass fed, grass finished and delicious! Never been disappointed with any of the meat from their farm. Topped with Irish butter and Maldon sea salt flakes 🔥

After 3 years carnivore (today!), I’m looking back at some pics from along the way. These are from last Fall, when I felt I was at my IDEAL health, weight and body composition @ 45 yrs old. I was between 130-132 lbs. Months before that, I enjoyed seeing the scale go under 130 but didn’t feel quite as good that low.
I have experimented many times and kept proving to myself this fact: For me to maintain my personal ideal health, I need to eat mostly BBBE (beef, butter, bacon, eggs), occasional dairy, keep my stress level as low as possible, get good quality sleep, strength train 2 days/wk, intermittent fasting (1-2 meals/day with some 48 hr fasts in the mix)
Blessed and thankful for this journey the last 3 years!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕
Make July a great one!! ✨
Getting spoiled with my favorite smoked brisket!! 🔥 Enjoying the carnivore lifestyle for almost 3 years!
Egg scramble for brunch! I might have added too much cheese, but it was delicious!
I enjoy adding Baja Gold mineral sea salt. It’s intense and crunchy! 🔥
Taco Tuesday 🌮 taco bowl made with ground beef from Independence Ark Farms, homemade taco seasoning, cheddar and sour cream.
1st meal after my road trip was a fatty steak! Just what I needed to get back to the grind this week.
It was cooked ahead and reheated. Busy summer!
Reverse searing these steaks in the oven to take on my girl’s trip!
I’ll slice them and add to the cooler to make some easy meals while on the road. 💪
Big horn sheep in the Black Hills of South Dakota!

Bratwursts and fire pit at the cabin. Lovely evening!

Enjoying time in nature at our cabin, with 2 8 yr olds! Love the Black Hills of South Dakota! So peaceful 🌲⛰️
Brought some bacon to have along with coffee on the ride to the cabin. I love cold bacon that was cooked in the oven. The best texture!
My 8 yr old likes softer bacon, so I make a combo of textures 😃 Crispy is my personal favorite.
This looks delicious! 🔥

Poached Eggs Recipe
1. Add 1/2 cup water to a small bowl. Crack 3-4 eggs into the water in bowl (no vinegar needed)
2. Bring 4 cups water to boil in a pot
3. Once water is boiling, gently pour eggs and all water from bowl into the pot with boiling water. It will look like a mess of egg drop soup at 1st. Turn heat down a little and keep simmering.
4. Use slotted spoon to check eggs at about 3 minutes. Takes about 4-5 minutes for whites to be cooked, while keeping yolks runny.
5. Remove eggs with slotted spoon. I like to add butter mayo on top.

Not sure on the weight, but I usually roast 4-5. Use a little if I’m making the butter and eat the rest with salt
If you’re feeling fancy, you can’t go wrong with this idea:
Whipped Bone Marrow Butter
Roast marrow bones (I roast from frozen, 450°F for 30 minutes)
Mix liquid bone marrow with a little steak juice to equal 4 ounces.
Mix in 2 ounces of melted salted butter.
Let chill enough to whip.
Is there such a thing as too much butter?! The answer is no 🤣
A before and after showing what carnivore lifestyle has done for my metabolic health. 💪
The before was me at 40 yrs old vs almost 45 yrs old in the after photo.
Meat, eggs, butter! This is the life!
I did an unplanned fast, starting Sunday evening. It felt amazing!
Broke the fast today with a lot of leftover beef ribs!! 😋
Yes bookmarking is so handy! I hope this makes for a good 1st bookmark 😄
I haven’t. Thanks!

Chuck Roast Instant Pot method:
1. Dry brine with salt for 24-72 hrs (optional)
2. Add 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup or 113 g) to Instant Pot, turn on sauté setting
3. Cut roast into approx 4-5 pieces
4. Sear all sides in butter on sauté setting (Add spices, if desired)
5. Add 1-2 cups beef bone broth
6. Cook on manual, high pressure setting for 1.5 hrs for 3 lb roast (time will vary based on roast weight) add more time if it’s not falling apart.
PS I use the drippings to make a gravy by turning sauté setting on (after taking the roast out) and whisking in some gelatin, letting the liquid reduce some.
