Fasting today: I have about 7 hours of meetings back to back with no lunch break so it should be a pretty easy day for me to not eatv and complete an almost 48 hour fast. Anyone else joining me or trying something new? If you are joining don't forget to have some electrolytes (even just salt in your water will help). Keep yourself busy and stay out of the kitchen...if you have to cook for your family then do it not during meal times when you aren't hungry (they can warm it up later!) If you get hungry have some water and wait 30 mins (and go distract yourself), it often passes and you realize you aren't actually hungry it is just routine. I use the Life Fasting App and have a free fasting circle if you want to track with the group. https://lifefastingtracker.app.link/mz07P7MEgxb
Also reminder to not push yourself if fasting is not right for you or if it will cause you to be triggered/stressed. (Or if you have been having carbs or under eating).
What is current fasting/meal routine? 3 meals a day? Two? What type of normal eating/fasting window do you have?
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Thinking about the year ahead can be overwhelming when it comes to goal setting. For some people, like me, short term goals can be much more motivating. Right now it's beast mode through the Meetup this Saturday. That said, I do still have long term goals for the year. Staying carnivore is just a given now as it's my life already so I have to dive a little deeper for me. I'd like to stay in the same weight range but lower my body fat a bit. Gain some muscle mass in short. Gym at least 4 times a week and beast mode at the same time is my recipe.
Steak video for interest. 🤪
Do you do better with short or long term goals?
So sorry guys, my 2 1/2 hour drive home from the cabin is turning into a 5+ hour drive home so I am not going to make it in time to Livestream tonight. I'll post the link for the Dr Berry Livestream for tomorrow when I know it. I'll catch up on posts here when I get home if you have any questions.
Happy Saturday! Thank for those that hung out on the livestream last night, we talked a decent amount about how we change our relationship with food. Also about breaking stalls and fasting.
We actually have no plans this weekend for once, I have a work trip next week so just going to soak up some family time this weekend. What are your plans this weekend? Any temptations ahead you are planning ahead to avoid?
Happy Friday! It is officially August first! I am going to do a Livestream this evening for supporters at 7pm EST (4pm pst) to kick off August!!
It's been a little while since I did a Giveaway, so let do one tonight. I will draw the name of the winner at the beginning of the livestream, we will email the winner so if you can't join tonight you can still enter. I will send one person a goodie box of all my favorite carnivore items.
To enter the Giveaway just comment on this post your one non-negotiable goal for the month of August!!!
It's going to be an amazing month!!
