then you DEFINATELY do not want to know what is allowed in "meat by products", or where they come from. at a diner in Md for breakfast once they had scrapple on the menu. I asked the waitress what's in scrapple? "parts of the hog they can't use for sausage", yikes, "I'll have a vegie omlet". I asked my wife, what could you possibly NOT make into sausage? whatever it is I'll pass.
If you switch to a low carb diet (like I have suggested a dozen or more times), your body will go thru a process called Ketosis. That is your body switching from burning carbs as fuel to proteins as fuel. You will feel like crap for a few days and think you are going to starve to death. And you will have a pounding headache. One you get thru ketosis, you will feel like a new man. You just have to change your eating habits. One to 2 meals a day won't cut it. You may eat 6-10 times a day, but small portions and healthy snacks. After a couple weeks you won't even want carby foods.
This morning I had 3 eggs cooked in coconut oil, a piece of cheese, and a piece of sausage. For lunch, 2 pieces of grilled chicken breast. Been snacking on pistachio nuts since. For supper I am going to grill burgers, but like Ron Diaz says (local sports talk host ) "I,m gonna knock the bread off that b&^^H."
If you go hungry on a lo-carb diet, you aint doing it right. SO far I have knocked off 8 pounds in just a little more than a week
almost correct about the ketosis. anyone who has or is going to go thru a bariatric (lap band, bypass) surgery will know all to well about it. to reach an acidotic state one needs to severely limit all caloric intake for however long it takes for your body to start metabolizing it's own stored calories which will shrink the liver and give the surgeons more room to work. ideally 3-5 days if lucky. I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks and didn't hit it. the doc was gonna put me on another 2 weeks of clear liquids, and I hit it just in time to have the surg as scheduled. NOT FUN! if I were in a life raft I would have gone cannibal. you will have a dry mouth with a coppery taste. they usually do it with a VERY low carb clear liquid diet and supplemental protein powder. I would not recommend it as a long term weight loss plan.
Been very sick ever since the doc put me on metformin for diabeties. I read the paper that cam with it today and its main side affect is lactic acidosis. calling the doc in the AM said it could cause other problems and can be fatal :hang
