I need to follow your lead. A bit of weight creep here too. Same culprits as for you. Glugging cream is so easy to do.
@Kristin251 its great to have you in the corner providing some new inspiration.
Good to be here again! Thank you too. I won’t be chiming in much on the insulin responses. I’ll just stick with threads like this one.
The weight creep could be many things but the first thing I look at is portions. If I over eat my beef my gut grows lol. So I see that to mean I’m eating more beef above my tolerance level and that will then become stored fat.
I also look at foods that I’m intolerant to or simply cause inflammation which is not always easy to identify. That’s where my scale comes in. I can see clear trend upward when I eat other foods than beef. For me pork ( bacon) eggs and dairy hits overnight. I did find beef bacon that I chop and stuff in my burgers sometimes. Or onions.
Liquid rendered fat bogs me down. I’ve been eating mostly cold beef this summer. Cold rare shaved steak and raw ground. The raw ground feels so good in my system. People either love it or hate it but it’s so easy to digest and gives me a pick me up. I feel with me it’s actually anti inflammatory!
I have just not felt this good in many years. Who da thunk?
I don’t keep any trigger foods at home or there’s no doubt I’d eat them! It’s parties with all the creamy dips and cheeses that I struggle with. I try to remember there’s always a price for me but sometimes my wine makes me forget that! Lol. Yes, I drink red wine mixed with Prosecco this summer. So refreshing with the bubbly essence. There’s only so far I will go with carnivore lol
