RE: Fasting Journal : Replenishment day 7.
Ya have to trust your gut. When I did Carnivore, I felt so drawn to it that I was sure it was right. Then when I stopped, I just knew that I'd done it long enough.
That's really the thing. I really seem to feel best when I have a mostly meat day but with a big salad too. I don't seem to care about other veggies hardly at all, but salad greens seem like something I should have. Probably the potassium.
I don't feel any need for salad, on the other hand - what I seem to need is fruit. Not very much, just two small serves a day. Small being the amount that would give me 5 grams of carbs.
I wish I could have fruit. I seem to lose all control if I have fruit or nuts in the house. I tell myself I will have one small serving - and then all my resistance disappears. I can't even say I fight temptation because there's no fight. I just fail to moderate.
While I was reducing, and weighing everything, I was able to be disciplined. Now I've got to my goal, I'm experimenting with just eating about the same without weighing anything (except fruit) and will see if I can maintain without being as pedantic. I don't seem to be having any problems sticking to the same amount of fruit (so far), but I am eating rather than more macadamias than I was!
Those things are WAY too good.
One thing I've been looking to try is having a little fruit in the middle of a big workout, which should mostly be consumed by your muscles if done right. It would feel good to have a little fruit once in a while. I just need to start working out harder so I can justify the experiment.
