Primal With A Side Of FABULOUS page 399

I used to have 2 dirty blondes in my fridge, I had to move them.

Really? How so? Don't see anything there that's a cheat...

It's really just the fruit. I'm sure the sausage is fine since it's homemade. I just apparently cannot do fruit at all. And I just try to stay away from nuts because it's easy for me to go crazy with them (especially cashews).

Background: I started Primal in January pretty sugar-strict. No fruit at all, no nuts (but still peanut butter a couple days a month), some dairy. Pretty much just meat and vegetables and butter with some cheese and heavy cream. Lost a bunch of weight really fast. In April my diet started slipping. Started having a square or two of 85% chocolate every day. Plateaued for a whole month. Started working out super hardcore and stopped the chocolate and lost some more more weight. Then, not long after, I plateaued again for another whole month when I started eating fruit. Mostly cherries and bananas. Not even every day, but apparently often enough to stall out. I was doing a lot of walking during this time, so I don't know what caused it if not the fruit.

A week ago, I made the decision to go full keto, basically like how I was doing in the beginning. After dealing with some BAD sugar cravings for a few days, I've lost 5lbs again, and I'm expecting a few more pounds by the end of the week.

After two rounds of this, it's pretty clear I just need to stay in keto. And I'm still avoiding nuts mostly, but I have been eating 2 brazil nuts a day for the selenium (I figure it's better to get it from a whole source rather than take pills).

The end.

If you'd cleaned them first they wouldn't go bad so fast.

Yeah, but blondes are not really good until they go bad.

Yeah, and who would have thought people would actually miss them?

Hmm... it all looked primal to me too. So 'cheat' may not be the right word... maybe just not fitting with personal plan.
I'm not sure how a completely primal food can be considered a cheat.
I don't eat sausages... but that's just because the salt will make me feel like I want to die. Personal.

Did one of them have a blue top?

Yeah, but blondes are not really good until they go bad.

A fella who KNOWS the truth!

[drssgchic]

Yeah, and who would have thought people would actually miss them?

Can't you just replace them with another blond? I wasn't aware there was any difference between them.

[cori93437]

Now you hold on right there missy...
That's the same as saying there's no difference in the brunettes... which wounds me deeply as I have long been a lover of the deeper hued ladies.

[justyouraveragecavemen]

Spoken like a true gentleman.

Yeah, that's it precisely, the fruit and nuts just don't fit in with my personal plan. I've found that I can't lose weight when eating anything sweet, and I don't get much grassfed meat because it's sort of hard to find here, so nuts aren't a great idea for me either.

So for me, personally, a meal with both would be a big cheat that could stall my weight loss.

What I was saying is that I find it interesting that for other people it's perfectly fine. Lots of people can eat that stuff and still lose weight and feel good. Bodies are interesting.
