getting down to business always makes me feel good.
I don't do well stagnating thru a plan.
I require seeing success, even if in very small doses

I am cutting my big old fat lovely ribeye in 1/2

eating 1/2 with eggs
other half with, hmmm..eggs

alot of calories cut actually in MY day and I am doing very well and feeling wonderful.

Good to hear Karen! I bet you will see great progress doing the 1500 cals

Hey Karen,

Just stopped in to say hello! Since I went on my road trip I have dropped the salad. Just easier to grab zero carb food on the road.

I brought most of my food for the trip but when I ran out I would stop and grab burger patties at MCdonalds or Wendy's. Eat those when hungry. My road trip hard core zero carb!

Love it Bernie!! Hardcore Zero Carb Road Trip!!!

yea the burgers are easy to grab while traveling. it isn't perfect but it sure is an easy way to get food when needed!

I am just doing some chatting on the ZC thread. I find now that I enjoy just eating like this and figure I would throw out some thoughts on how it is doing for me. there are few of us but if you can handle this type of eating, it sure makes you feel great.

so far so good for us

it is surprising how great I feel.
I can not say this enough.

the weight is not dropping off anymore. I must cut calories to have some lbs shift but I am not there right now darn it.
I am trying to cut a bit but then I want to eat. eat I do and am happy and fine. but this last bit of lbs. are not getting on my nerves I think cause I feel so good eating this way.
Like it is more about ME and how I physically feel vs. the 'weight loss' journey. it switched over a bit.

but I don't fear...slowly the lbs. will drop I am sure.

eating just meat and fat is something I love.
one must be the ultimate meathound and since I am one of those I fit in well!

all is going fab on ZC. I also read ZIOH. they are more 'one policy pony' and I refuse to be boxed in anymore with what other groups, clubs, or programs think anymore. I am ME and I found what works for ME. Nothing will change that.

but I love reading this site for the great info on ZC, the rest of the bunk I can live without

all is in a good place. ZC rocks!

Sounds like you are doing GREAT on ZC, Whirlly. Just dropped by ALC forums to add some to my journal & noticed you've restarted a ZC thread. Good! I'm mostly over on Facebook these days because I have to follow a strict ZC plan for health & continuing weight loss. Just stopping by to wish you lots of luck with this new ZC thread. You sound like you are doing great too with your health, energy levels, etc. I too am finding these wonder results of living ZC in the way best for me personally. There are always individual variations, as there should be, no one knowing exactly what will work best & for the long run for anyone else. Good luck!

Hi Guys,

Been ZC since my Restart last Saturday.

Feel AWESOME!

Down just under 5 pounds in 7 days- great start (sure, water a lot of it...)

Long way to go!

It's almost 10:30 here, so, I'm going to get some food: chuck roast with eggs.

Have a super ZC day!

Hi ZC'ers…..I've been wondering how it's going. I've always been intrigued with ZC, years ago I would read the ZIOH threads (are they gone now??) but while I can and do often eat fairly close to ZC, I've not felt the desire to totally do that. Still….it's always an option so I'll be watching your comments!

hey Carole
heck I am A72 induction and walked into ZC. In that I only meat the eat off the list basically.

I am just not a salad gal and don't want it.
I was never a veggie fan but loved a few but I can live without them.

my ZC was just a natural progression from A72 induction food list. believe me it isn't a far stretch at all LOL


Chuck roast with eggs sounds delish Jama.


for me ZC was one step off my A72 induction food list so I gravitated toward that since I am a meat hound

Just thought I'd pop in to wish all of you ZCers continued success on your journeys to better HEALTH!

ahhh, heck JO if you dropped your salad for the day and upped your protein intake a little you would be ZC easily ZC to me in truth is not a huge step from our A72 list. I just happen to not enjoy the salad stuff on our list anymore, while someone like JO enjoys her salad and it makes her happy. I don't think the ZC way and the A72 induction way are far apart at all really.

Totally, Whirrl!

They are VERY VERY close.

After my 30 Day Challenge (self-imposed) of meat n water (and coffee) *and cheese if I feel like it, I will be reassessing my needs/wants for greens.

Even Induction has a small salad on it, but right now, I'm not eating that.

I wanted to simplify and get a real jump start.

I like things like green salad with oil n lemon, pickles and sauerkraut...

Maybe that's all I can add? Maybe not? Maybe ... maybe...

one day at a time.

right now, no veg.

good thing is no veggies in your life will never kill ya

since our bodies don't need 1 carb in this world to survive, meat and water is what ZC is all about.

I have been eating meat only for like 8 months now. I feel my absolute best!!!! heck I am kinda scared to add back any greens, probably kill me at this point LOL

thing is I am a meat hound to the ultimate. that is what makes this so good for me. I fit the zc meat plan every easily. so many can't eat like this but I sure can

rock on girl!!! do what ya gotta do and move forward and attack. when the gung ho is there take advantage of it and run off those lbs!!!

meat n water good.

(cucumber and cream bad.)

Happy weekend all!

I used to love cucumbers. Now, pffft, they are really tasteless and useless to me.

never a fan of cream so I don't use it.

Since I was a farmer back in the day I always get the 'early spring' thoughts of GARDEN! well that is useless to me now, and I don't have to do all that backbreaking work anymore.
growing cukes and taters and maters

I say leaving that garden work out of my life is a real nice thing tho more time to relax and enjoy life more. I know gardens are 'fun' for some, to me they are 'work', that bad 4 letter word LOL
