I put my bars up on a shelf and ask myself, am I having this to have it or to "use/abuse" it.

I'll try to work on a sauce post later this week.. :) Typically it's my home made spices combined with the left over grass-fed beef fat or some added fat to the cooking pan.... and I stopped measuring (spices), too. Give me 1-2 weeks and I'll type a few things up, with photos. And measurements...

He eats 1 square a day. I only eat it if I have a bad headache that won't go away, and then only 1 square. He buys it when it is on sale and really stocks up, which is why it lives on top shelf in his closet vs somewhere I will see it.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-49764117243893593922014-12-07T08:55:44.571-08:002014-12-07T08:55:44.571-08:00PS also at some point if you could post ideas to m...PS also at some point if you could post ideas to make your homemade sauces that would be great, but I know you are busy now and posting less frequently.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817568743485129053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-21111386831410542962014-12-07T08:53:36.758-08:002014-12-07T08:53:36.758-08:00Karen, thank you for posting a day's worth of ...Karen, thank you for posting a day's worth of eating here. I know you have posted elsewhere on your post, but I like that this is in one spot. I have questions. Do you always get your bison at Costco or do you ever get it online? I got bison online at the place I buy my coconut oil (it was bison burgers), and I thought they tasted too lean. How do you cook yours? Also with the marinara, what kind do you use? I remember you posted a brand a while back that was fairly healthy, but I don't know if it is still available online because did buy it from amazon. And I ask because I know you area cautious about added sodium.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817568743485129053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-71786834928730311182014-12-06T07:06:48.139-08:002014-12-06T07:06:48.139-08:00I think that is a good sign, Jeanette, that you st...I think that is a good sign, Jeanette, that you stopped thinking about it. Percentage ( 85% or higher) really keeps me from binge eating and lighting up my brain. That's how I knew I could still have it without "using" it to numb out.

I drink water between meals, but rarely with a meal. When I eat, I eat- I don't want water messing with my fueling time. If I'm thirsty, I drink. Water or coffee. That's it.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-3927895794646901452014-12-06T07:03:30.802-08:002014-12-06T07:03:30.802-08:00Hi Isabel , Yes,

Avocado (slices or mini container of wholly guacamole)<br />Lunch: 4-5 oz protein (bison, chicken), sauteed kale or kale mix (used like noodles), marinara sauce or curry based sauce, and either spoon of avocado oil, olive oil, or avocado slices.<br />Dinner : Grass fed beef 4-5 oz (or chicken or lamb, occasionally shell fish), maybe a homemade sauce like BBQ or coconut curry, as many non-starchy veggies as I feel like, sometimes I make a big salad out of it, or sautee lots of veggies. Maybe fruit (berries) 1-2 x per week. or a very small slice of an orange or apple. Most nights a few ounces of 85% chocolate.<br /><br />If I have a 4th meal at any point during the day (if I hike more than 4 miles at one time OR if I've hit 5+ miles before 1-2pm) then I'll go with a PFC small meal- hardboiled egg, P, Fat (F) like avocado or oil, and Carbs from veggies. Bell pepper strips with guacamole, hard boiled egg mixed with avocado is a favorite PFC snack.<br /><br />Random weird stuff, but delish: half a can of smoked oysters, half a serving of chicken livers sauteed with garlic and onions. <br /><br />I don't worry about calories, but I will start to re-gain if I shift my carbs higher than 50 consistently over a week's time. I will also start to not sleep well and have hot flashes. I feel full and have almost no binge urges and have a ton of energy. Most times there's no way I could binge... I feel so full and the food is so flavorful .Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-6038994323400500362014-12-06T06:46:42.251-08:002014-12-06T06:46:42.251-08:00Jan and Gwen, thank you!Jan and Gwen, thank you!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-12720079432766103882014-12-04T15:25:00.374-08:002014-12-04T15:25:00.374-08:00Great post Karen .........

Not sure if it's the way my brain works, environment, stuff I tell myself, or the many obesity genes I know I have combined with the FTO gene. I'll have to blog about this sometime. I'm just glad I don't BS myself about being able to eat Paleo Cookies. ;)<br /><br />I'll be working on lab result blog posts soon.. .. who cares about cookie parties...
