I've been starting to drink GAPS-ish broth lately (I use veggies with stalks), so yesterday I had turkey bone/bacon fat broth on it's own (with a raw egg), then for lunch I cooked it with some chicken liver, beef juice, and rainbow chard leftovers (which also was a kind of soup on it's own). Dropped an egg/some bubbie's sauerkraut in the latter as well. Sipped some goat kefir. At work there was a Sugar & Spice themed event, so there was lots of sweets everywhere (on the day I decide to severely cut back, as I am almost completely sure sugar is one of my biggest downfalls) but I still had a little square of Ghiradelli's dark truffle chocolate. I also had some pineapple and mint leaves from the cafe at my work and had an awful stomach ache afterwards. Had some mint tea while waiting for the muni. When I got home I had more tea/sipped more goat kefir and cut up 2 lbs of beef into thin strips and made soup out of with more bone broth and the liver leftovers, 5 cloves of garlic, half an onion, dried rosemary, garbanzo flour, fresh sage and parsley, 2 tbsp of butter (with the onions, garlic, and rosemary in a separate pan), and the rest of the rainbow chard. Plopped some sauerkraut in my/my boyfriend's bowl and watched Red State (which was written and directed by Keven Smith wtf?). SUCH A GOOD DINNER, huge pot of leftovers in the fridge. Then I had another Ghiradelli's dark chocolate truffle.

I always cringe when I see how little people eat ITT...I was getting used to eating 3500 calories while going to the gym, but now with removing foods that might make the acne worse I can barely eat at my maintenance

I pity da fool who says that about my posts. I cook with butter quite frequently, consume meats regularly, etc. I've never in my life counted calories though, although I do recognize/appreciate their importance.

Yeah totes... the majority of my calories are from meat and fat. Veggies = volume / Protein and fat = calories. I may only eat a piece of sausage with a side of spinach for breakfast, but it's covered in lard and butter : )

Much like this sweatshirt: lard and butter hoody Do want kinda... I mean I get strange enough looks already, this can't hurt.

About to put on a pot of buffalo stew with carrots, onion, chard and celery. The yumness begins.

Mmm stew - probably the worlds best food. You can make any type of stew, with practically any ingredients.... seafood, lamb, chicken, pork.. Do you add marrow bones - or a bone stock?

I know, and it's soooo satisfynig when it's cold outside!

I usually have a freezer full of different meat stocks... but it has been depleted and currently I only have turkey stock from our big 15lb turkey carcass. That's what I'm using for the buffalo stew, different, but I'm not afraid to try new things. I've added some bay leaves and red wine and so far it tastes good.

My local farm will usually have soup bones for sale and I will also save up bones from when we have lamb or ribs or whatever to make into bone broth. I like to make the bone broth first rather than cook my soup with bones in it, because I let the bones simmer for at least 24 hours.

Yea having the stock made before hand is where it's at. I cheat though, I know a WAPF chapter lead and she sells pre-made bone stocks with no added ingredients.. they are like meat jello at room temp. I mix and match broth/meats all the time.. usually tastes just fine.. if not better.

EDIT: I've made broths a couple times but I find it just isn't as good :/ and of course time consuming.. kudos to you

Yes, that is how you know it's good stuff. What's wrong with your broths? Flavor, consistency?

Making another batch of broth today, picked up sheep, cow, and buffalo bones, and throwing in some chicken livers for good measure. Also making some lugaw, still experimenting trying to come up with my own take on it, but it's one of my favorite foods by far Also going to make some tom yum, though I don't have all the ingredients I'd like, the lime & coconut milk are the main flavors of the dish I'd say.

Also, I had leftover pizza

[LiveLaughFart]

I ate grapes, and a bannana. For dinner I will have guacamole and cole slaw with sea salt. I find that I don't crave cookies if I put salt in my food, everything tastes amazing with salt, even plain cucumbers.
Last night a had vegetable/tomato soup and it made my cheeks flare red, so I'm going to try and bake my vegetables instead and wait til they cool so my face doesn't become bright red.

I had a chicken salad with some green pepper, cabbage and garlic.
And I can't find unsalted pumpkin seeds. Is it safe to eat them medium salted?

Give em a rinse.. should eliminate most of the salt. However I would be looking for RAW pumpkin seeds.. the roasting process would do some serious damage to the fats (mainly o6).

You've got swag, no luck needed! With that said, I hope it goes great for you

Started my day off with some lugaw topped with some slightly fried chicken, ginger, garlic, and onions. Super delicious. I want to make that chili pepper oil they have in most southeast asian restaurants I've been to as well.

Breakfast: Rice crackers w mashed pumpkin, 1 1/2 boiled eggs, oats w soy milk
Lunch: Mango-raspberry-ginger-spinach smoothie, a pear, about 15 baby carrots and a piece of bread
Afternoon snacking: 3 bananas, 2 apples
