I slept well again last night but woke up feeling very sluggish. I was unmotivated to eat anything for breakfast. I was ready to hit the gym but then lay on the sofa, just feeling lethargic and drained of energy. busylizzy was feeling sorry for me so offered to make me a 3 egg cheese omelet and a few strips of bacon. I accepted and it was delicious and somewhat revived me. I did my routine in the gym but was not feeling normal.
Here is my theory based on nothing but 76 years of living in the same body. Sugar and carbs will give almost instant and very available energy. Protein and fat takes a little longer but is more sustainable and longer lasting. After the gym I felt fine and have ever since. I have heard from others that their energy levels are more steady, without the highs and lows, on the carnivore diet.
I had a bowl of chicken broth loaded with chicken meat for lunch.
Dinner tonight was tip loin steak. It tasted pretty good. It was about the size of my hand, and that's all I ate. A baked potato with sour cream, chives, and bacon bits would have been wonderful, but not for me. Even better would have been a big slice of Turtles Chocolate Cheesecake, but not for me. We went lout in the evening and I was fine, no hunger pangs, only remorse. Tomorrow will be the next weigh-in.
