Happy Thursday!

A funny (like not funny at all) thing happened to me yesterday.  I woke up not feeling good.  Woke up in a fog.  It got worse as the day went along, then the night was horrid.  I felt like I was falling into a depression. This had me extremely worried because I have been over 3 months now with not a hint of depression kicking in.  And I’ve been off my Prozac for a month.

Then at night, I started getting constant head zingers (you can feel that when coming off anti-depressants) and I could not walk straight.  I looked it up, and it seems that it can take weeks for Prozac to completely get out of my system.  So I felt much better just knowing that I was probably still going through withdrawals.  I just hope I can totally stay OFF Prozac.  I’ll just give it more time and will see how this all plays out.

Today, I woke up feeling great.  I have been feeling so good since eating just meat, and to have a bad day like yesterday was killing me.  All I did was worry that my awesome world was falling apart.  But today it is back to good. So I am going to just keep doing what I’m doing because yesterday was not depression.  For me, depression is not something that kicks in for one day only.  I would normally be in that dread and doom phase for at least two weeks.  I think I just went through the last bit of withdrawal.  But it was scary, just the same.

Today, I hope to sew and get some videos up!  My head is crystal clear!  I was not able to record anything yesterday at all. I basically went to bed at 4pm and stayed there.

Have a great Thursday!

Eat Meat!  Drink Water!  Get Rest!
(those are the words I live by)

See my Zero Carb playlist!

Yesterday – Tuesday 2/21 – Day 97

When I got up, I had my usual chug jug of hot water.

At 3:30pm, I felt like eating only cut up food (new thing lately).  I cut up and cooked beef, pork, kielbasa sausage, bacon ends and added ground beef.  I ate more than half of what you see on the plate.

At 7:30pm, I made myself a big ass hamburger patty (close to one pound) along with a side of 6 eggs.  I ate almost every bit of that.  But I put pepper on it and got a very sour tummy after.  Please read the note below.

NOTE: I’ve been testing pepper off and on.  I really LOVE pepper on haddock and on eggs, but I notice that every time I use it, I get a sour stomach after.  And it triggers acid reflux.  That, in turn, makes me nauseous.  It amazes me that something like a sprinkle of pepper can cause so much discomfort.  When I think of all the things I’ve eaten my whole life that were destroying me, it blows my mind!

Food that entered my mouth yesterday:  sliced beef, ground beef, pork tenderloin, bacon, kielbasa sausage, eggs, pepper and lots of delicious water.

IMPORTANT – My doctor totally approves of this!!! See this vlog to see how my appointment went!

This is the facebook group I’m in.  It’s a public group so you can read the posts without joining.

I will be talking about this new way of life often on my Youtube channel, so please subscribe and you won’t miss a thing!

This is the article that I stumbled upon by Kelly Hogan which got me immensely excited.   And this is Kelly’s blog.

PLEASE READ: Please remember that it’s MY CHOICE to eat the way I want. If you think this is unhealthy, know I’m not as concerned with physical health. I’m more concerned with my mental health. I’m on a mission to feel better mentally… without cravings!!! I’m willing to test this so you don’t have to! But what works for me might not work for you. I’m not doing this to lose weight. I’m doing this because I’m convinced that I’m overly sensitive to carbs and that I must stay away from them if there is any chance of me feeling better. I’m eating from the animal kingdom only, like the complete opposite of vegan. I know this upsets many, but I promise I won’t eat your pets. You are free to follow my progress/failures and you can even disagree with what I do. Just remember that I will get the last word because it’s my blog, my channel, my life! That’s the new me talking! (I think I’m growing balls! Let me look… yes, I see one starting to grow!)
