Happy New Year!! I hope you are so excited for this new year and a new chapter! How many people are participating in World Carnivore Month? What does that look like for you this month?
What is your non-negotiable for this year? This is more than just a New Year's Resolution.... setting resolutions and goals can be motivating at first but often that motivation quickly fades. , What is the one simple thing you are going to focus on this year to help keep you on track day after day after day, even when the excitement of the new year is long gone. The goal is long term health and wellness, what is so something simple you can focus on all year to help you achieve that goal?
I an so proud of each and every one of you for last year and just showing up, even even things didn't go as planned. I cannot wait to see all you can accomplish this year!!!
Livestream Thursday at 8 pm est/ 5pm pst.
I don't typically love cooking with cast iron, despite the excellent results they can bring. It's messy and smells up the house. Add to that, the one we have is super old and not very good. We were recently gifted a really good one from Lancaster Cast Iron so today I decided to give it a try. We have a side burner on our Weber so I could do it outside. I sous vide a steak, then seared it in tallow on the new pan. Man it was incredible. What a difference it made from our old one. Super easy clean up too. Below is the pan, of course I forgot to take a picture of the steak haha.
Do you love using cast iron? What are some favorites you make in them?
Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
We grabbed this copycat chipotle chicken from Costco the other day. It's very good and so easy to prepare. I use it as a side when I don't have one, or even make up a couple cheese shells and eat it that way. It has 3 carbs per serving and the ingredients aren't that great, but in life these days, you do what works and your body can work with. Pre cooked meats can be so convenient eating this way. I know some folks have to be more strict, but if it fits your goals and you can tolerate it, give it a try.
Are there any pre cooked meats you go to? Have you tried this chicken?
Happy Wednesday! Monday was Thanksgiving in Canada, so Happy Belated Thanksgiving to Veebs and all our other Canadian friends! 🦃🍗 We hope you had a wonderful Holiday spending time with friends and family.
For our American friends, how are you planning to spend our upcoming American Thanksgiving? Are you planning to be strict Carnivore, business as usual? Are you planning to be a bit more relaxed and maybe have some keto/low carb foods? Or just have carbs and all your same old traditional foods you usually have? No judgement, we all have to know what we can handle and what works for us. What's your plan?
Good Evening Y'all!! I made through day 14 of no dairy and no eggs. I'm working out at the gym 5-6 days a week on treadmill and elliptical. Plus I do the leg machines and one core machine. 3 days a week I have physical therapy on my left side especially my arm. I'm feeling great. I know that if I was eating dairy or SAD I wouldn't be able to stand the physical therapy. Here's my stats for today. I drank 80 ounces of water. I happy with this. Tomorrow night I'm gonna try some beef short ribs. Does anyone have any tips on cooking them @Lauraespath @ChrisSpath? BLESSINGS!!
