This week I have been trying to eat a seafood-based carnivore diet. One thing that I've noticed is that when I eat lean fish, I need to make it up with added fat on the side. I have been using marrow fat. Otherwise I get really hungry. I was hoping that I could adapt to lower fat, but I just got too hungry and too tired.
It has also been extremely cold lately. So that is probably another reason that I need the extra added fat. I've also noticed that some of these new fish that I tried, which I believe are pompano and skate wing, are not a good value because they are so lean.
So I think I am going to continue getting just the fatty fish mostly, such as mackerel, sanma, Greenland halibut, eel. All of these have plenty of fat and come with nutritious skin.
I do like mussels and squid, and they are economical, so I will get those too. But I need to remember to eat added marrow fat on the side!
I have been bringing roast lamb for my lunches, however I only have a few months left of lamb. So I will need to figure out something to bring for my lunches at work when I go thoroughly to a seafood-based carnivore diet.
I have thought I might bring some dried fish. I have not heard back from the online company that I emailed to ask them if there were any spices or other additives. I am going to the Asian market again this weekend so maybe I'll just pick up something to try. Then I can bring some marrow fat on the side. Another option is to bring a can of cod-liver, but it could be kind of messy to eat at my desk, and may stink up the office. So I think dry fish is a better option.
My cat is still on the zero carb diet. He is doing very well. I think I may have been over feeding him though. So I am cutting back to two cans per day rather than three. He also gets dried anchovy snacks too. So far so good!
