The Free Quit Sugar Summit with over 30 speakers/presentations starts today! There are sessions all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (mine is Sunday afternoon). More details, the link to sign up, and a full list of the speakers below...
Many of you know the story of our family, and how Chris almost died and went on to reverse his Type 2 Diabetes. I was very proud to share the story of our family and our lifestyle as a part of the Type 2 Diabetes Summit. In this session I shared not only our lifestyle changes but the physical addiction to food. My main message is that we will never find lasting healing until you address both sides of that coin. I thought being a perfect carnivore would erase my struggle. It didn't, until I addressed both the physical and emotional sides.
Proceeds from this event go to support the American Diabetes Society (the society started by Dr. Berry as a low carb alternative to the ADA). Join me and 30+ incredible Drs, experts, and speakers sharing their personal stories at this virtual event, I encourage you to check it out.

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?
Happy Monday!! We are headed off on vacation this morning, we are going to Cancun for a relaxing week at the beach. 🏖️🌊🌴 I plan to disconnect and just focus on family time as much as possible. I might pop in and share a few pictures but I will wait to resume my morning posts Saturday when we get back. I hope you keep posting your daily accountability, and share meals you are eating. It is helpful for your own consistency to post daily, but also it is very motivating for others. There are also lots of people in this group that are here to encourage you so please still post questions or share if you're needing help. I will talk to you all when we get back! 🥰
What is your non-negotiable for this week?
Went to Costco this morning and gathered an epic carnivore haul! I was disappointed in the beef prices, but I snagged a whole brisket and some back ribs for a good price. All the other things I picked up: frozen salmon, smoked salmon, whole turkey breast, turkey deli meat, pulled pork, bacon bits, hardboiled eggs, and chicken bone broth. Then I picked up some beef bacon and a marinated pork tenderloin at the nearby Fresh Thyme. Around $450 dollars for everything.
Happy Monday. I'm waiting on help desk to call me back at work.
NN this week is continuing no dairy except butter.
I started a fast last evening. Not sure how long I'll go.
I had a lot of basic beef over the weekend. Leftover chuck roast and steaks. They get boring, but I feel good. We did have fast food burgers on Saturday so I had a bit of joint pain. Today I feel better.
I'll be breaking my fast with sauerkraut and avocado and sardines and eggs. I know, sounds disgusting but it keeps me from the bathroom emergency.
Hope your Monday is going well.
