My body really just does best on 100% grassfed beef, wild caught fish, and water. When I add other items, it always catches up with me. Sometimes immediately, as with my experiment into fermented plants, or sometimes a few months in, as was the case with fermented K2 100% grassfed dairy. I love that my blood glucose levels are always in the low 80s (mg/dL), regardless if morning, afternoon, or evening!
After just a few days of strict beef and water, intermittent fasting of 23 hours at a time, and slight calorie restriction, I already lost two pounds! I was really happy about that. As much as I enjoyed the fermented dairy, I felt like it made me hungrier and I ate more. With just beef and water, I don't get hungry.
I would like to get back to my low weight from about two years ago. In the last year and a half it went up rather abruptly, about five pounds. I thought maybe it was hypothyroid, or maybe perimenopause. But now I feel that if I just get back to beef, fish, and water, that will work to get my weight back. It is working well and quickly, knock on wood!
In other news, I am still living chemical-free. I use diluted vinegar for shampoo, facial wash, washing dishes, and cleaning glass. I use a locally made goat milk soap on my body, but diluted vinegar works too. I clean the hardwood floors with just water. I scrub the shower and toilets with baking soda. I no longer use any cosmetics at all, no deodorant, no hair dye. I stopped wearing glasses or contacts three months ago. I use reusable cotton menstrual pads. I have been using diluted vinegar for my laundry or the goat milk soap for hand washables. I use pure lanolin for moisturizer/lotion.
My cat is still zero carb, now two years! He eats Tiki brand wet cat food in the "Luau" series.
