maranne and miriam- thanks!
taco salad is just my name for it. No flour based round thingies involved :-) Just the ground turkey, spinach or lettuce, tomatos, olives, cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado. I pile it all on top of each other on a plate and chow down.

grandma, I'm having a hard time with beef right now. I'm either getting crappy cuts of it or I'm not cooking it right- more likely a combination of both. I'm also coming off of a few years of vegetarianism so I'm adding and deleting things in baby steps. The pork chops I listed above were the first ones I've had in probably 8 years or more.
I have a package of steak in my fridge right now but I'm scared to cook it. I want it to be good and I want to like it but it just never turns out right. :-(

Sir Grandma
MemberSteaks are more difficult, you need a good cut and to cook it right. But for your taco salad ground beef is as easy as turkey BUT ground beef has an N6:N3 ratio of 8:1 (a little lower of grass fed) where ground turkey has a ratio more like 14:1.
On the steaks, I'm not very good at it either, but to be a nice steak, you need a fatty cut (ribeye) and cook it to just medium. I usually make the mistake of buying lean cuts and cooking it to well done. All you get then is leather.

Yes that sounds exactly like what I'm doing- buying the lean cut and then cooking it to well done and yes it's definitely leather.
Thanks for the information on the omega ratios- I had no clue that ground turkey was higher on the 6 than ground beef. Will definitely make the switch next time I go grocery shopping. In the meantime, I'll eat my left-overs- don't want to waste them. :-)
I need to re-work my dairy comsumption also. Once I deplete my dairy stocks, I will be re-evaluating how to cut back a little more on that. I love my dairy though !

Either way, grandma, I appreciate the feedback. What is your opinion of turkey bacon versus regular bacon?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Sir Grandma
Memberno questions --- the real thing!
Remember Grok couldn't catch turkey bacon, it's a manufactured food. Pork Bellies yes if he was man enough to do battle with a Boar. He also wouldn't have nitrates and all the crap that we put in bacon these days so if you can find all-natural than that is best.

omg I was thinking about coconut oil + scallops earlier today. Was it amazing? I picked some up at the store today (both coconut oil and scallops) and can't wait to try it... it'll have to be next week though, as we have lots of fresh things to use this week and the scallops are frozen so they'll "keep" for a while.

There are many variations of the cabbage soup diet, but the best recipe depends on why you are doing the diet.

It was very good. The house smelled amazing and I savored every bite. I could eat coconut oil straight from the jar though. And maybe I will ^_^

Oh the day started off innocently enough but ended very badly and now I feel like crap warmed over...
Day 17
B- 2 eggs, butter, 3 turkey bacon, sugar free syrup, milk
L- had a potluck at work today. This is where things go south....green salad, olives, almonds, sausage, watermelon...so far so good right? Not. Enter chocolate chip cookies and doritos. Why? Why? Remember this sick horrible feeling next time I think eating crap would be okay.
D- big fat SKIPI still did my P90X though- regurging chocolate chip cookies the whole way. Week 10, day 3- back & biceps
Did not track my food on fitday so can't give the breakdown. And really, do we want to know? Not me.

MemberYou're not the only one who has those days. I'm arguing with myself over whether I'm going to indulge on chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting for Father's Day, or if I'm going to be a good girl and go buy a bar of 100% chocolate and almond butter.
Don't beat yourself up over it, and the crappy feeling will pass. I think after you experience it enough times, nothing tastes good enough to want to feel like crap after.
Great work in the morning though, and remember- your last meal isn't as important as your next one.

Jordanna
MemberGood words Diana, I was just moaning that I have eaten way too much fruit and my carb intake is far too high now, I feel pretty crappy. I IF-ed yesterday and went on a hike and have now craved and been too hungry all day, and clearly have not eaten enough fat or protein to curb it :(.

@Diana- I'm in the same boat for Father's Day. We don't go out to eat because of the crowds of people on these inane holidays so my husband has asked me to cook instead for "his day." He wants kalbi ribs (ribs made korean style with a sugary marinade), corn on the cob, potato salad, and macaroni salad. Oy! It's okay, I'll just make something else for myself. Don't really like those foods anyway except corn on the cob-which I will probably go ahead and eat.
@Jordanna- getting too hungry sets me up also. Although hunger has been pretty low since I cut out the refined starches- still have to be careful especially since I'm still taking diabetes meds- sometimes the blood sugar gets too low and that's not good either.
