The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.  ~ Kamala Harris

I decided to start the Carnivore Diet yesterday.   I’ve always had a pretty meat-centric diet, but I’ve tried to Go All The Way with it until now.  It is basically this: eat as much grass-fed steak as you want, seasoned only with butter and salt, and only drink water.  Also allowable are shrimp, salmon, chicken, and bacon.  If I ate eggs, those would be fine too, but eggs give me the fantods.  According to some of the black belts I train with (who talked me into this in the first place), you’re supposed to eat a liver a month to get all the vitamins that other cuts of meat may be low in (especially vitamin C), but liver is right next to eggs on my fantods-induction meter, so hard pass.

Even with all those options of meats, it’s a pretty spartan plan.  Most noticeable for this lifelong hardcore sugar addict is the complete dearth of sugar and carbohydrates.   I’ve heard some pretty nightmarish stories about quitting sugar cold turkey, so this is the only part that concerns me.  Also no booze.  Should be interesting.  Right now the plan is to try it for a week or two, and see what happens.

Yesterday was two center-cut filets for lunch and dinner, respectively.  Today I’m cooking a massive tri-tip.  Pretty sure this is the longest I’ve been without sugar.  Ever.
