So what are the rules for what you can and cannot eat on the carnivore diet? It is very simple. For the greatest effect and for the purist, it is simply to eliminate all carbs and sugar, and eat only animal based food, eliminating all plant based food. Dairy can be included and I am putting a bit of cream in my morning coffee, a beverage that is approved. Hard cheese like a cheddar is also OK. Mixing it up with fish and other Sea Food adds variety and is also OK.
Again. I had a very good night's sleep. I woke with no hunger but made myself a cup of coffee and ate a boiled egg. I spent my usual 40 minutes in the gym, feeling good and not at all running out of energy. Nothing more to eat until 1 pm when I made a plate of bacon and eggs and a cup of coffee. I was surprised that I had no hunger pangs but ate only because I thought if my stomach was too empty tonight at dinner that I would give in to the carb cravings.
By dinner time, I was still not hungry but did eat a grilled chicken breast. A few minutes later I was hit with a substantial carb and sugar craving. I was thinking of the way I used to eat and my mouth was watering and I was almost panicking. I desperately wanted one of those nice crisp apples in the refrigerator. Or one of those sweet juicy California Naval oranges sitting in the fruit bowl. Instead, I made a cup of decaf and again, like yesterday, distracted myself. 30 minutes later I was fine. I felt full and the rest of the evening I was fine.
Tomorrow is day 4 and time to do a weigh-in. I am supposed to see a bit of weight loss after 3 days. Tune in to see if it is true.
