I was thinking along similar lines just recently, surmising that a significant number do not self select in the way you describe.
@Chook poor let-go driver was probably clinging to the familiar. For me, stress=Do Need Familiar Routine To Anchor Me. ETA just had another thought about what @ianpspurs said about atypicalness of this forum: personality has much to do with it. I am a type who seeks out support for issues where I’m completely ignorant. One of the things that has kept me on this WOE path is specifically this thread and the ppl here. If I were a different type of person, I might never have even looked online (or locally or whatever suits the tech temperament) for help, info, advice. So, to state the obvious, we self-select.
B. Cheese omelette, black tea, black coffee
L. Tub of M&S nutty whole food salad, mixed nuts
Snack. Buttered M&S cheese scone (only ones worth the carbs), more mixed nuts
D. Spanish Quorn sausage and bean casserole, rhubarb Greek yoghurt.
Chook, I hope you enjoyed the marsala eggs.
I agree. I'm a natural problem solver and love researching things. In any area of our lives where we encounter problems, I've always searched for answers or possible solutions. My husband often says that my tenacity and fierce loyalty to my loved ones are my strongest attributes! I'm not naive and realise we don't have a magic wand, but it certainly doesn't hurt to be well informed and try out different approaches.I was thinking along similar lines just recently, surmising that a significant number do not self select in the way you describe.
It does not bother me, I have seen plenty of pig nipples in my thirty years in the retail / wholesale meat industry.Tell me honestly would this sight bother you? ( have to say after cooking, when crackling was all bubbled up and crispy, you couldn’t tell where they were)

By the looks of that nipple it was from a male pig...
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Packed lunch on the road to my son’s house: gouda and chorizo rollitos with cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: banana Carb Killa bar and sugar free apple squash (no coffee at my son’s house!)
Dinner: mature cheddar and mushroom omelette with a leafy salad followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.

It was a struggle not to do just thatNo coffee? I think I might have turned straight back home!
@Brunneria SO glad the Dr Almond bread agrees with your gut. Happy gut= happy you! Not judging you for non-carnivory
I don’t know, @dunelm , does that river look like melted cheese? Yuk!
I have, tada!, just discovered Dr Davis’ all purpose baking mix to be made at home. Mostly almond, some coconut, a little psyllium optional. Yay me!
Question (it followed in my rabbit chasing for the baking mix). Is treacle molasses? From cane?
It’s pork belly - fabulous (unless of course you are the donor).2boiled eggs and a couple of buttered lc seedy crackers for breakfast.
Lunch out in Charlestown which is a very pretty harbour near us. Cod loin wrapped in bacon with wilted spinach. Fizzy water to drink. It didn’t fill me up at all even though it was a lovely fresh bit of fish. I can only assume it was the lack of fat. When we got home I went a bit mad - brazil nuts, Greek yoghurt, almond butter and CWC. Finally felt a bit better. Lots of tea with almond milk ( sorry, TWAM)
Dinner belly pork, didn’t have much in the way of veg in the house so did Mr C roast spuds and fried a courgette in the pork fat for me. Only ate about 4 mouthfuls - the mid afternoon snacking had caught up with me and I wasn’t ( and still not) hungry.
Was a bit squeamish when preparing belly pork to find 2 nipples on it - told Mr C who just shrugged and said ‘what do you expect?’ But then he grew up eating home made ‘pig’s face’ sandwiches, complete with bristles and recognisable eyelids so not much puts him off.

I detest almond “milk”Breakfast : Scrambled egg, Euro style sausage and bacon, sliced cheese and ham. Plain yoghourt (print too small to read carb content). Tea
Lunch : Beef stew. Came with potato’s that I had to leave. Water.
Dinner : 200 ml full fat milk and some nuts. One small apple.
1 x chocolate gelato.
Noticed at the buffet breakfast that they had almond milk available.

Trevi Fountain was very impressive.
I haven’t tried it yet. Will give it a go this morning.I detest almond “milk”
My biggest memory of Houston was the sheer number and range of places to eat out.An interesting day here in Texas looking for LC yet delicious food.
Breakfast; Texas sausage, eggs and avocado. Tea (my wonderful sister has Yorkshire tea) and koffy of course.
Lunch out: an interesting Ratatouille smothered in melted cheese (hold the bread bun), a side of very good home made coleslaw and some really good pickled gherkins - a big bottle of Pelagrino.
Dinner; spaghetti squash with meatballs in a mushroom and tomato sauce. Just had a local beer called Devil’s Backbone - hardly a murmur on the wheel of mystery and bewilderment.

Odd how diabetes changes tastes and ideas. For most of the first 60 years of my life I could not abide anything almond but now I even make my own almond milk and can eat a handful of the nuts raw. My personal food failure alarm goes off if a recipe says keto or DD.I detest almond “milk”
