Food Diary | The Zero Carb Collective

Strangely after a good night’s sleep, I feel absolutely awful today. My skin, nostrils and mouth are burning. Before and after I woke up, all my teeth were aching. The joys of Fibromyalgia.

Everyday is a new learning day with this condition.

I have Raynaud’s disease. I’ve been to the hospital so many times with terrible chest pain which I thought was related to two my heart conditions, but it could be caused by costochondritis

Sounds really affect me, especially background noise, when I’m with a large gathering, like a family get together.

Food sensitivities are really what I am tracking. I’ve found that ANY vegetables or carbohydrates affect me. I’m not eating a carnivore diet because I wanted to, it’s because it’s a necessity.

Sometimes I forget what affects me. On Wednesday, I liked the look of an onion bhaji, in addition I ate smoked salmon (loaded with sugar in the curing stage) – I regretted that. I’m still aching and burning two days later.

Breakfast and Lunch Today

A lovely ‘clean’ eating day.

Week 2 Last week wasn’t a bad one. Seven pounds lost. With that in mind, I am to keep myself on track by keeping myself accountable whilst being on holiday.

This week was a holiday we planned to stay on track. We arrived at our destination with good intentions. We were greeted with a piece of Bara Brith and a Welsh cake each. Of course because of the addiction in us we ate it. Never mind we wouldn’t get hooked on sugar!!

Below is a selection of Carnivore meals that we ate throughout the week, 4 of the days I had my usual staple of burger and eggs.

We came home after a lovely holiday. We treated ourselves to a large americano coffee with pouring cream everyday. On arriving how we were both determined not weigh in until April 1st.

Week 3 – Really very pleased with each other for staying on ‘plan’ this week. Back to it and we have a meal plan in place. You would think I would get bored because for 5 of the days this week I had Burgers and Eggs but on Sunday we had roast leg of lamb and on Saturday I ate my usual steak with some ox liver.

Week 4 – We changed it up this week with some different foods which I will put photos of later. Monday we went to the church for a coffee before our weekly visit to Lidl and Tesco. On a Tuesday we normally help out at the church in the warm space and have our meal later in the afternoon. Wednesday the grand children and our daughter called over and we provided a Carnivore sharing platter.

As you can see, we had a varied diet this week. Thursday we paid a visit to the cinema, Friday our weekly coffee and cream at Costa in Chepstow.

Today I was really proud of declining 3 Easter eggs today (Easter Sunday). I love chocolate but it’s the sugar for me, if I had eaten one, I would spend the next 3 months or so buying chocolate in Tesco until I sorted my head out.

Instead, we enjoyed this shoulder of lamb

April 1st tomorrow, weigh in day!!
