I am not at a place where I can stomach the extra bits yet. and even if I was, I don't have a good source. Which is not to say, if I really wanted to do it I couldn't find a good source. I am interested in your experiment though. Given your issues with dairy and other things this may turn out to be your answer.

I'm working on it. I actually crave my pate now and today, all I could think about was the bone broth. It will take me some time to get the other ones in. But, the longer I go without "junk" and without vegetation, the more my body seems to want these things. In the short one, I think I'll have to mask things a bit -- curry, mix with other fatty meat, etc. until my taste buds become acclimated.

I'm still working on a good, affordable source. That's why I've only done liver (pate) and bone broth so far [Well, okay, I'm still working up to those other organs!]

Sorry, Karin, for digressing in your journal. We're had such nice conversations today all over the place.

Loving the conversations in everyones journal! Great topics. As for "the bits", i love chicken livers but can not do beef at this time. In truth i have loved pate since i was 3.

I have to say..i love eating this way. For me it seems no brainer, which is what i need.

[demuralist]

for me the no brainer was the 10 veggies a day, but then I spent 7 years being a vegetarian. I was also good with the straight low carb where I didn't worry about fat or protein, except that I didn't feel as good.

Well the car is back in the shop. The thermostat needs replacing. Nissan wanted $330 but my regular guy will charge $150.

All in all my outlook is still good, food good even eating @ jasons deli. The wind has been howling and it has gotten cold!!

[demuralist]

The wind is crazy here as well, but the sun is shining and it is 60 degrees out, beautiful!

So sad about the car what a PITA!

[athomeontherange]

Yup..pita hopefully this is the last of the car drama..i hate drama

[athomeontherange]

WOW.. feels like a Monday but its not.

Observations:
-Sleep is better. I have woken a couple times in the night but end up falling right back asleep and now its WITHOUT advil PM.
-I am really liking the caffeine free. I think its making a difference.
Feeling thinner (hoping I see this on the scale March 1st )

I made kickin' green chili stew. I call it stew because its more meat than broth. Its awesome! I even put a few jalapeņos in it.

On the dehydrating side:
last night I dehydrated zucchini chips, onions and jalapeņos. My mom bought a huge batch of jalap. so I dehydrated them before they could go bad. I REALLY like the onions I dehydrate, I even put some in the green chili.

I got the apples to work, so I got a bag of those and a bag of pears for Dh. I will try zucchini next.

congrats on the sleep, I really believe it is crucial.

Yeah, I just wish I knew what I did last night to get such great sleep.
