Hey everyone, how are you all doing? So another day of eating has come and gone...so I thought I would share how I did. I woke up and weighed myself; and got frustrated because I had gained for the 3rd day in a row. I think it is all from the carb day. I also dealt with higher blood sugar; also I am sure from the extra carbs on Saturday. Normally I have 10 or less on this way of eating, but Saturday I had over 270. So what did I eat? I started out the day with 2 eggs, cooked in butter. Some pepperoni - but it was too spicy so I did not eat much A cheese stick. After my eye doctor I came back and was a bit hungry so had another cheese stick and some butter. Then at my mom's for dinner we had smash burgers (I just had the burger patty and cheese). I am really not caring for burgers/ground beef. Needed a bit more calories and protein so had a bit more butter and a protein shake. I know that seems like a lot of butter, but many carnivores will eat a whole stick of butter in a day. Macros -- 1,255 calories, 6 carbs, 105 fat, 74 protein I still could have used a bit more protein. I did eventually get my sugar to drop to the low 100s, but after the protein drink it went back up to 140+ I'll probably finish the pack of them, but then not buy the protein drinks anymore since they are clearly not good for my blood sugar. It is just a nice, quick way to get protein in. Just going to try to eat 2 meals a day with about 40 protein, so I don't have to resort to them. The only trouble is meat makes me full so fast (unless it is salmon). What do you think?

Less carb by eating more fruit and vegetable can help you to fell full but not luring your hunger feeling

Do you think you’ll get to the point where you don’t do a cheat/carb day? I just hate for your progress to be hindered. On the other hand, it’s still making a difference even with a cheat day.

I don't really know. I want a little joy in life lol...but I know they mess up my blood sugar and make me gain water weight. But to never have a delicious carb again? That's depressing lol

@AmbiePam I am glad you do. I'd do great on this diet if I could just eat steak and salmon every day lol
