What I Ate Yesterday – Day 70 – My First Day of Just Meat and Water!

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


MY NEW EXPERIMENT – Read why I’m kicking dairy for a week here.

Day 1 of No Dairy:  Yesterday was my first dairy-free day!  All I ingested was meat and water.  I did not get that “hangover” feeling during the day, but I did start to feel it a bit that night.  I’m still convinced that feeling is from lack of sleep, but I will continue my experiment for an entire week just the same.

One thing I noticed is that I had bad dreams where I was suffering, could not breath, was trying to escape.  That could be due to my apnea.  I might have been having an exceptionally rough night.  And I woke up with a major headache.  So it could be apnea, or it could be a sign of more detoxing since I did not get that small amount of sugar that dairy provides.

Another thing I did was NOT take my Benedryl.  Been hooked to that shit forever, I think I started taking it to sleep in high school (or any over the counter cold med or sleep aid, I was not fussy).  That could have affected my sleep too.

One thing I will say on a positive note is that I only used my nasal spray once, maybe twice yesterday, and that was mostly by habit.  But my nose was much clearer, and as I type this today, I realize I’m breathing freely and I have not used any nasal spray since I woke up. For sure, that has already improved greatly!  It was better just going ZC, but I think avoiding all dairy might be the trick to breathing freely.  Amazing!

I have also been completely off Prozac for an entire week now and still no signs of depression.  I can’t believe changing how I eat can have such an impact on my mental health like this!!!  DO LOVE!


Yesterday – Wednesday 1/25 – Day 70

When I got up, I had my usual cup of coffee with whole milk BOILED WATER!  Yup!  I heated up my water and drank it straight.  Not even any coffee.  I really want to stick to the meat and water basics to see how I feel, then after a week I can introduce other things one at a time to test how they make me fee.

At 2:00pm, I ate from the plate above and this time I did NOT cook in butter.  I just cooked in the bacon fat to keep it from sticking.  I had various meats on my plate that are all included below.  I ate everything on the plate this time.

At 7:00pm, I sliced up more beef and cooked that with some bacon ends.  I had a decent sized serving and ate every bit.  Remember, how much or how little I eat does not matter.  When hungry, eat meat until satisfied, then stop. When hungry again, repeat.  So easy!

That’s all I ate yesterday!  Nothing else.  Was not hungry at all.  NO cravings.  All I did was spend my time obsessing with my bead making and NOT obsessing about food!  What an amazing journey this is!!!

Food that entered my mouth yesterday: sliced beef, ground beef, bacon ends, pork tenderloin and lots of water.

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!

chat-thursday

Happy Thursday!

This little girlie has been getting up late lately!  Not sure if that bothers me or not.  Not.  lol

Yesterday was my first completely dairy free day!  I’ll be keeping everyone posted on how I do with that in my What I Ate Yesterday series, so be sure you check those posts every day!

I did a quick Tag Along to Roger’s video yesterday also explaining why I’m cutting out dairy.  You can watch that here.  And I’m also trying to kick the benedryl habit too!  Been taking that for many, many years to help me sleep.  But since I don’t have to get up early for any particular reason, why on earth worry about when I fall asleep?  No one cares if I’m up all night!

Then I finished off my night by listing some of my Paper Beads on eBay!  And they are getting bids!  So fun!  And I did a mini video explaining the bead here.

Oh, my water is boiling so time to go make my… um… water!  lol  I’m off coffee for a week too.  No coffee, no dairy means I’m drinking boiled water straight!  I love to live dangerously!

Have a great Thursday!

What I Ate Yesterday – Day 69 – My Last Day of Dairy for a Week!

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

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


MY NEW EXPERIMENT – I feel great eating meat (depression kept at bay, off prozac, much less joint pain, no cravings) but one ailment that still hangs on are what I call my “hangovers” which I have always been told are due to lack of sleep because I suffer from sleep apnea.  I don’t use my cpap machine because I hate it.  Also, it never made me feel much better to sleep wearing that thing.

It got me to wondering if maybe dairy is my problem.  I have learned by eating ZC that all we need is meat and water. That’s it!  We add dairy because it is from animals, but many swear that it does not agree with them.  So for one entire week, I’m going to eat just meat and water and see how I feel.  In fact, I’m sipping on a hot cup of water right now.  No cream.  No coffee!  Just water.

Many vets who eat ZC say that as they progressed, they also went to just meat and water because they were just naturally drawn to it.  It’s easy.  It’s complete.  I think I’m ready to go there.  If I could get rid of those non-drinking “hangovers”, I would be in my glory!  I would be unstoppable!  I can’t wait to see how the week works out.  I’m starting today, 1/25, so you will see that I still had dairy yesterday.  I will keep you up to date on how I feel, so please keep watching!


Yesterday – Tuesday 1/24 – Day 69

When I got up, I had my usual cup of coffee with whole milk (today I’m drinking hot water!)

At 1:30pm, I ate from the plate above.  I had the most delish and tender sliced beef, bacon ends, then that stuff on the right side is the ground beef and egg mix that I had leftover from the night before.  This was cooked in butter. (I will be skipping both eggs and butter for the next week)

At 9:30pm, I sliced up more beef cooked in butter and ate a bunch of that.  So good!  That was it for the day.  I was too busy working for anything else.  I did get hungry at 2:45am but decided to skip it and just try to sleep.

Food that entered my mouth yesterday: sliced beef, ground beef, bacon ends, eggs, butter, whole milk, coffee, pepper, lots of water.

chat-wednesday

Happy hump day everyone!

Before I talk Youtube, I want to talk Meat! lol  I feel great eating meat but one ailment that still hangs on are what I call my “hangovers” which I have always been told are due to lack of sleep because I suffer from sleep apnea.  I don’t use my cpap machine because I hate it.  Also, it never made me feel much better to sleep wearing that thing.

It got me to wondering if maybe dairy is my problem.  I have learned by eating ZC that all we need is meat and water. That’s it.  We add dairy because it is from animals, but many swear that it does not agree with them in many ways.  So for one entire week, I’m going to eat just meat and water and see how I feel.  In fact, I’m sipping on a hot cup of water right now.  No cream.  No coffee!  Just water.  I will be talking more about this on my What I Ate series so stay tuned!

As for Youtube, I made the NO-Sew Fleece Robe yesterday and my biggest disappointment was that it was not big enough for me to model it properly.  And the sleeves came out too short.  When I measured, I did not account for the fact that tying all the knots would make the garment smaller.  Live and learn!  You can watch me try to model it here.

As for today, I hope I finally get around to listing some of my bead on eBay!  I expected to do that yesterday, but the robe project, along with all the editing, took all day and night.  Long project! lol  But I do have a Tote and a Blanket on eBay right now that you can look at.

Have a great Wednesday!
