I have pretty great willpower most of the time. I have no problem turning down all the carb-y crap they have at work such as donuts, pizzas, cookies, candy, all that junk. I have no problem maintaining 20% calorie restriction from baseline according to calorie restriction calculators. I have no problem turning down and avoiding all plant matter, including coffee, tea, spices, all of it.
But oh goodness, when I make my homemade lambheart jerky, (just thinly sliced lambheart, no salt, no spices, dehydrated overnight), I have
zero willpower! It is so amazingly tasty, and so crunchy, and so fun and delicious, I just cannot help but to keep going back for more. It's kind of ridiculous.
Luckily, it's a very, very healthy addiction. Heart meat is incredibly in B vitamins and coenzyme Q10 (which are incidentally, good for your heart!). In fact, when I had my B12 and coenzyme Q10 levels tested earlier this year, they were both off the chart! Haha, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. I am nuts over heart jerky!
In other news, I had a histamine response after drinking a few cups of a simple broth I made with katsuobushi (dried tuna flakes). My nose turned bright red! I remembered that sometimes I get that response to certain foods. It is an intolerance to biogenic amines, described in this article:

"Avoid cultured, processed, cured, fermented and aged foods."
Whoops! Katsuobushi is both fermented and aged. Oh well! So much for that idea. Guess maybe I should just go back to plain boiled water!
