sounds good. I tried that awhile back and yes it was satisfying. I've been up/down/up/down so much lately and with my moods also. I think I'll try it again. What does your normal day of eating look like? Foods & times? Any groups you know of on here that are supportive?  

We've got a challenge going, but it's too late to sign on formally. But if you follow me or ZenusWarriorPrincess, you can join into journal discussions. We've posted a lot of videos. Welcome to the club. We're following Dr Berry's 'Beef, Butter, Bacon & Eggs' 30 day challenge. We're only a couple of days into it, so you could join us, if you like. 

Awesome job, Erika!!! 😁 

Hello, JMA! Yes... jump on in, if you wish! 🙂 

Nice drop! 

Great! 

No cheese? 

BLUF - I do love cheese, but I'm conducting a 30 day trial of how meat-only works for me. It definitely fills me up and keeps me from grazing. 

@Erika... I know Cary (the dude in this video) has had great success, but I am so interested in following the progress of Jen (his wife here) & the rest of his family in real time. The other fellow Bill (who weighs 700 lbs & is basically bedridden) that he mentions, would be fantastic to watch also once he gets started up. https://youtu.be/RhdkavPbhoo 

@Erika... Are you testing ketones & BG? I just tested mine 2 hours after eating 12 Oz of roast. Ketones:3, BG, 95. Dr. Boz ratio, 31.66 😁 

Ketones .30 or 3.0? 

I ran out of strips, just got new ones delivered. After breakfast bg 102, ketones .9. Not a weight loss moment. Tested again @3:30: bg 84, ketones 1.5 (dr Boz ratio of 56 -better for weight loss, but not for autophagy). 

The reason I queried you about the ketones reading, is that 3.0 is usually only showing up after days of fasting or exogenous ketones. 

I am so not hungry after my meaty breakfast, I'm thinking that today may be a one-meal day. I may be fasting til tomorrow. I'm planning to join Debra in a multi-day fast starting tomorrow or maybe now! I'm still chasing my goal of getting into Onederland by my 8/22 birthday - 8 lbs to go, so that calls for some fasting. 

I tried the link you left, but didn't find the video - some other interesting stuff, but not that one. 

@Erika... 3.0! No exogenous ketones. Ikr?!?! I've been doing 18-20 IF, but had just feasted 2 hours prior. I'm interested in seeing what the readings will be tomorrow before eating. I've been only doing beef, butter, bacon, & eggs (no bacon the past couple of days). No cheese, no sweeteners, no other seasonings other than salt. Black coffee & water. 

Good luck to you guys on your fast! I think I will wait at least until the challenge is over before thinking about more EF. The only reason for the IF is because I just haven't been hungry. 

Oh... I did cook my roast with a little apple cider vinegar, though.  

Re: Ketones - no exercise either. 

Re: The link Hmmm... It works for me. Takes me straight to Cary & Jen.
