I agree that when I'm really low- to zero-carb, my appetite goes away. It's just those first couple days again getting the carbs out of my system and getting ketosis started again. I shouldn't really have that hard a time; I'm very low carb as it is.
You said you're three months in. Other than Thanksgiving and your one "binge" afterward, have you stuck pretty close to plan? How much have you lost?

The little I have read about pemmican said that that temp does not really cook it, just removes the water. It will still be better than my well done that I eat now!
Yes, other than those 2 days, I have stuck to plan. Sometimes I am lazy and eat sausage(I know that has a little corn syrup, but I can't find any without). I have lost 30#- actually today the scale said 32-33, but I am waiting for 35# to claim it. I am hoping for my 3 month anniversary on 12/11!
Me not bingeing has truly been nothing less than a miracle. I had a very stressful summer and was trying to commit slow suicide by eating myself too death. I still have the same stress, but on ZC I am not driven to eat carbs to "feel better"
