I'm going to try for 0 carbs this week...anyone done the meat fast?

CONGRATS GF...I have been waiting to hear your news....thats greattttttttttttttttttt....we are proud of you....you have done sooooooo goood.....Keep it up, that is wonderful success......sometime will you post some of your menus, I would like to see some of what others are eating, might give me some new ideas...Your doing great, keep it up.....CONGRATS AGAIN.....Stacy

Quite a few of us on here do the meat fast....I have many days where I am zero carb and will this week have many days like that...We also have a meat/egg thread on here where we post at as well....

I will be zero carb tue/thur/sat this week and doing meat fast.....the other days I will be having a protein shake for breakfast and be hitting 5 carbs

I am just popping back in to say hello for this evening. I am not feeling too well today. I just havent had much of an appetite. For Supper hubby fixed me 2 hamburger patties but it was all I could do to choke even one of them down. I had about 1/4 C. Green Beans, I couldnt even hardly enjoy my Cream Cheese today. I just felt like everything tasted so bland today. I dont know, I guess I need to vary my eating again somewhat. I guess my taste buds are just getting bored again. I have gotten to where I am afraid of veggies though. I didnt know Broccoli contained so many carbs, I thought it was really low in carbs till I checked the pkg. Ughhhhhh......I hope tomorrow is a better day. Night all!

Thanks to the both of you who commented on me not looking my age! I certainly "feel" my age though.

Sis, here is a good place online that I like to look up the carb count of anything....maybe this will help next time if you need to know a count...you can find all foods there in the search box

Thanks ljsmom for sharing your thoughts/tips on the meat fast business. I think my body wants NO carbs and am even doing a yeast cleanse just in case... the idea to alternate days sounds more do-able, and I was wondering about where I could stick in some eggs for variety! I think I'll try your regimen!

Here is a site I use to look up the carb count of stuff...Not sure if you had any sites like this that you used...You can find any foods in the search box..Maybe this will help next time...its ok, tomorrow will be great....

Happy Monday! (ugh, back to the office )
Today starts my resolve to go 0 to 10 carbs (I would like to stick with 0 but I may have to be a little lenient with myself!
Thanks for the links to quick carb counts, sparked up ideas for a tiny bit of variety so I don't slit my wrists.

Hoping to remain patient and undisturbed, I work with substance abusing and mental health clients (ha!)...

Hope you all have a great day, thanks for your inspiration and support!

You really can stick in eggs just about anywhere you would like...I honestly just got finished doing 2 rounds of an egg fast and am not real keen on eggs right now...lol...I do however once in awhile crave bacon and eggs or sauage and eggs or an omelette with bacon and sausage....Eggs have .7 carbs, so they still keep your carb count low...bacon is zero and I have found a sauage that I love that is zero also...so a good hearty meal with 2 eggs and both meats would be 1.4 carbs, not bad at all...

The reason I am alternating my days, is I really am loving this protein treat stuff i am making in a bowl...but it is 5 carbs and I dont want it everyday...on those days, ( like today) I will have meat only the rest of the day to make it a 5 carb day total...I will have that for breakfast

On the days I dont have that for breakfast, I will skip breakfast as I am not usually a breakfast eater....I just read a good article that it is ok on some days to eat 1 or 2 meals of good meats and not another meal...I looked back on my feb meals when I was dropping most of my weight and there were MANY days I ate only once or twice...It worked for me...

Is this your first time doing very low carb??....JoAnn that comes in here really can help she has been doing it as long as I have and lcgwen is very low carb also...we also have some new friends that just joined the thread that is having great success that would help if you have questions...

If you would like feel free to post your menus, I post mine daily...It gives others ideas and also helps keep me accountable....Nice to have you here and have a great Monday....Stacy

Cool thread, it sure has grown fast! I'll have to catch up!

Oh it about killed me tonight....It is cold and stormy and rainy here so tonight for dinner I made my family homemade baked potato soup with bacon and cheese and onions and homemade corn bread..Yum, I was soooooooooooo drooling...........

Well day 9 and still going strong. I have had a tummy ache. I think I may be in beef overload ( I had 2 steaks today ) I am trying to keep my carbs a little lower this week, however I don't plan on having steak all week. I have some chicken marinating and plan on fixing it tomorrow. I'm also going to make some home made egg drop soup. I hope a change of food will help my tummy. I am already excited about my weigh in this week. Well gals stay strong and keep on losing. I will check back in tomorrow
