Day 1!

I've been trying to get through more and more of the all-meat, zero carb diet literature and forum postings. Such as this:

The Bear claimed to have lived on a diet of all animal products for 47 years at the time of his postings. What a badass dude!

The morning after yesterday's carb bingeing, I woke up with congested sinuses. I also woke up at 11 am, which is a bit later than usual for a Sunday, but I finally managed to get some restful sleep despite having gone to bed so late. Fried up my last Costco bone-in steak, no seasonings but a little salt. I felt generally low energy the whole day, plus a headache. Just coming down off my carb high I guess. "Carb flu," they say. Good thing I literally had nothing planned to do except eat meat.

Later I had some ground beef and sirloin steak. I added some lard (I got some leaf lard from www.fatworks.com a while back). Tried not to use much salt to season. It will be interesting to see how much meat I can actually eat. I'll have to start cooking larger portions for myself - so different from my usual mindset of limiting my calories.

I'm proud of myself for only drinking water and mineral water today. I usually do 3 cups of coffee a day, so this will be quite an interesting experiment.

Feeling a bit tired, so I plan to go to bed by 11 pm at the latest. Can't wait to rise early and greet the day tomorrow! I need to cook up some meat to take to work with me.
