Friday 28th August

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.

We had an awful nights sleep, the neighbours have recently given birth to twins. They were crying on and off through the night.

The weather was awful, it was thundering and lightning through the night. It was too warm to close our bedroom, the rain was pouring down so heavily.

I woke up this morning feeling like my cortisol would have an impact on my daily weigh in – surprisingly, I maintained.

A lovely lunch today, I needed a fatty meal after a total protein day yesterday.

All bought from Easter Compton Farm Shop.

Carnivore Scotch Eggs

Ingredients

4 large eggs
powdered pork rinds 25 g
45g grated Parmesan cheese
500g Pork Mince
30ml melted butter.

Method

Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by at least an inch. Place the saucepan on the stove and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes (soft), or up to 9 minutes (hard). If you want your yolks runny, make sure to place the eggs in ice cold water to stop the cooking process.
Once cooled, gently tap and roll the eggs on a hard surface to crack, then peel off the shell and discard it. Be careful not to break the egg, especially if you are cooking them soft.
Place pork rinds in a food processor and process into fine powder. Grate the parmesan cheese. In a bowl, combine the pork rinds with the parmesan. If using whole sausages, remove the casing.
To make the Scotch Eggs, divide the meat mixture into 4 parts. Flatten using your hands like a thin meat patty
Place a peeled egg in the middle of each meat patty and gently wrap the meat around the egg
Place a peeled egg in the middle of each meat patty and gently wrap the meat around the egg
Place the Scotch eggs in an air fryer and brush with either some melted butter, cook at 200 °C for 10 to 12 minutes. When done, remove from the air fryer and set aside to cool down slightly before serving.
Serve while still warm.

What is a Carnivore Diet.

Leave a reply

The carnivore diet is a way of eating that only includes meat, fish, and other animal foods like eggs and certain dairy products. It excludes all other foods, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds.

This diet is how humans were eating way before agriculture was even a thing. Sadly there hasn’t been much research looking into how the carnivore diet affects our health.

Only anecdotal evidence of thousands of carnivore dieters, along with what we know about the keto diet, a close cousin, suggests that if done correctly, a carnivore diet may offer a number of powerful benefits including:

Eliminating all plant toxins, especially oxalates.
Weight loss
Improved insulin sensitivity
Improved gut health
Improved heart health
Reduced inflammation
Increased testosterone and libido
Increased mental clarity

Carbohydrates and processed seed oil consumption has ties to many metabolic disease which eventually lead to issues like diabetes, anxiety, heart disease and Alzheimers. Cutting out these things have reversed Type 2 Diabetes, brought my blood pressure and helped to manage my Hemiplegic Migraines.
