Stalled on keto or carnivore? Here are a few tips that might get you going again:
1/7
1) Try a month of no dairy, not counting butter to cook with. This accounted for 300-400 calories a day I was eating that I didn't need and broke my one and only stall. Eat to fulfill hunger, not macros.
2/7
2) Add some type of exercise into your routine. Whether it’s walking, aerobics, or resistance training, these things can only help improve your health, whether or not they get the scale moving again.
3/7
3) Relax! Being stressed out and not getting enough sleep can put your body into survival mode. It will not want to give up any precious body fat, because it perceives a crisis.
4/7
4) Stop using artificial sweeteners and especially quit the keto treats! When you use these things, you tend to want to feed your cravings and not your hunger. Make eating and drinking me the solution for what you need, not what you want.
5/7
5) Mix things up. Our bodies are great at adapting and patterns of restriction will be compensated for eventually. Feasting and fasting is a great combination to lose body fat and convince our metabolism starvation is not going to happen.
6/7
6) Conclusion: weight loss isn’t linear and not losing weight for a week or two isn’t necessarily a stall. Keep cool and make sure you’re not only not eating too much fat but that you are also eating enough! Always being hungry is a good way to slow your metabolism and stop weight loss.
An example of mixing things up:
3 days of one meal
2 days of two meals
1 48 hour fast
Feel free to add anything that I might’ve missed and/or ask any questions that you might have.

If I've ever had a dear diary dinner in my life this is it! 50-hour dry brined prime rib, cooked at 225° for a bit over 2 hours & seared in cast iron. I've never had anything better & it's not even close! #Carnivore#carnivorediet#Yes2Meat#RealFood#keto#ProperHumandDiet

@BrettBAuto Your prime rib really psyched me up for this one!
There's many ways to boil an egg. Here's how I make perfect boiled eggs that are easy to peel, with a pot of water:
Step 1: Bring your pot of water to a full boil and gently set your eggs on the bottom of the pot. Then set a timer according to preference. (See 5/5 tweet)
1/5
Step 2: When the timer goes off, run cold water over your eggs and add ice to cool them quickly and stop them from overcooking.
2/5
Step 3: Gently crack the shell all over and return the egg to the ice bath. The water will seep between the egg and shell and make it easier to remove the shell after a 30 second soak.
Not a roast person but love ribeyes and saving money? With all the specials on rib roasts because of Easter, I thought now would be a good time to show you how easy it is to turn this roast into steaks with a bonus portion of ribs, with several measured but easy cuts.
1/4
Step 1: Remove the ribs. One easy cut will do it. Run your knife as close to the rib bones as possible. If you don't get it real close, don't fret because the bonus ribs will just be meatier. Aldi's supplier was nice enough to precut this one almost all the way down.
2/4
Step 2: Score the fat to determine the thickness and number of steaks you will get. 1.5" will get you around 1lb steaks and are ideal for medium rare or medium steaks. Cut thicker if you like rare with a good sear! These steaks ended up 18 oz each.
@Lenoreo7@NewDawn7411 The do or die moment in my health journey was when I tried to walk 3 hilly miles on a hot day back in '18. 40+ pounds overweight, I was sweating donuts & my left arm went numb on the last hill. It scared me enough to try a week of #keto & the rest is #realfood history.

@Lenoreo7@NewDawn7411 Why keto? I met a man from Virginia who was helping out in the restaurant I worked at. He randomly told me he lost 60 pounds in a year w/keto and it saved his life. I didn't think much of it until I had the mini-stroke. This is why I believe everything happens for a reason.

@Lenoreo7@NewDawn7411 For most of my 40s I was miserable. Osteoarthritis in my back and I couldn't go 3-4 hours on my feet without them aching terribly. I ate Advil like Tic Tacs and I honestly didn't want to live past age 50 if my 40s felt like this.

Want to learn how to spatchcock your chicken or turkey with 3 easy cuts? This makes dry brining easier as well as makes it cook faster and more evenly. ⬇️
Step 1: Get the bird on its belly so you can remove the spine. Start to the right off the spine and use a sharp knife or shears to go along the spine and thru the tiny rib bones. Then do the left side. Shears or scissors work great for this!
If you use a knife, always cut down or away from your body!
Tried to replicate the McGriddle experience and I failed... because this turned out even better considering each of these sandwiches packs a whopping 1 or 2g carbs each. #ketodiet#keto#LCHF
Recipe link for the cloud bread:⬇️
I doubled this recipe and baked it in a bread pan. It's 8 eggs separated, 4 oz cream cheese, 2 tsp cream of tartar, a little salt, sweetener (optional) and a half cup butter. Pro tip: cool bread in fridge/freezer to let it firm up!
