Foodies BS Thread.

Can I ask why are you switching your diet?

 

Looks yummy! Here we take the top out and fill. I may half and fill next time.

 

I had a tough day today but it ended okay so I celebrated with a ribeye in the cast iron skillet with steak fries and eggs.

 

Want to try it out as well as lose some weight. Have heard good things from some people i know.

 

I hear that about all diets. No complaints for trying. Whatever works for you. All workable diets are compromises, where a conscious decision between evils is made.

 

Well ya technically everything works when you deficit. Just curious on how a mainly protien diet makes me feel. Will definitely be decifit considering i only really eat one large meal a day and small snacks already

 

For me, it was learning how to ask and make mental changes. Can I have brown rice instead of white? Can I substitute black beans for the rice? Etc. I’m on a “heart healthy” crossed with a “diabetic” diet, so low carb/low sugar/low cholesterol. As you can imagine, there are miles of conflicts there and tons of no flavor.

 

When i first lost a shit ton of weight i cut out all drinks that have calories (besides booze but im cutting that now too), and counted calories trying to avoid stuff like pasta and bread. Took a break after losing like 100 pounds in less than a year and gained some of it back. Also didnt really hike this year like i did before. Gotta lose some of it again.

 

That's how we do it - cut the top off about half way, we use both sides. But halving it that way looks a lot easier...

Portguese - Bitoque de Vaca. Steak, eggs, fries, and rice (sometimes). Portuguese and Peruvian foods are delicious. Quite heavy...

I'm in a similar boat. Last year I lost 50, found 20....
Diet's the big part. The old saying is a six pack is made in the kitchen.

The biggest thing about dieting is sticking to it, and a deficit. "Sticking with it" is if it works for you, GREAT. It isn't a one size fits all. South Beach works, but if you hate it, and like OMAD, then OMAD is better than south beach for you. do what you want and works for you.

OMAD (One Meal All Day) is a type of intermittent fasting, which is what my generation has given a cool name for "skipping breakfast". https://www.webmd.com/diet/is-eating-one-meal-a-day-safe

This kind of worked for me a lot last year - I would go to work, get a lunch from the work cafeteria (which is actually good here), then go home and do work/exercise, shower, then it's 8-9ish, and now it's just not worth making dinner. BUT. Now it's starting to get darker earlier and less prone to staying out until 8-9 ish riding, hiking etc.

Ya ive been on 1 meal awhile. Dont have time and one bigger meal sounds a lot better than 3 smaller ones. Used to chug a protien shake in the mornings tho. Will probably try to get back on that.

Just got back from the store with 2 ribeyes, 2 flank steaks, a pork loin, 3 pounds of ground beef, 2 pounds of bacon, pound of shrimp, shit ton of eggs, some fruit, and some stuff to make a homemade guac to dip steak in.

I know carno is supposed to be strictly meat but certain fruits like berries and citrus have benifits that compliment the diet. Technically avocados and tomatoes are beneficial "fruits" too

 

Nice pans. Used them for making crepes at a Hungarian restaurant I once worked. Got to a rhythm where I was running four pans at a time to knock off a batch of crepes quickly.

Look after it and your grand children will be fighting over it.

 

Tnx! It's getting there. Eggs are more
Now a solid B+. Can't flip without a spatula, but they don't stick.

 

I typically telework on Fridays. so instead of my hour long commute, I can wake up and make a breakfast. friend gave us some green peppers, so this happened this morning.

huevos rancheros.

 

that's coming along! what is the cooker underneath? induction?

 

A chinese "industrial" induction cook top. Big enough to hold my induction canner, and it's 1800w.

I cook on it most of the time because it's just so much faster than regular coil electric burner.

 

I like glass top electric. Idk if ive ever tried induction

 

My first day of the diet

 

No if i had to guess, that's not that bad of a caloric intake. Fruits have a surprising amount of calories, and nuts, for people who have never looked that stuff up. But there's not a ton of fruits there.

Have you ever watched the documentary What the Health? Everyone goes in on chicken and white meats being better for you, or almost "healthy", while red meats are the "bad" ones. They're pretty much equal.

I will say - as a non vegan who is married to one, I can get some tofu and TVP recipes and ideas if you want them.

 

It being mostly meat is the idea. Some fruits and stuff are ok but pure carnos dont even have it cause it could throw of ketosis. Certain ones compliment it and youre not supposed to have a lot if you decide to have them
