baskington's Journal, 17 September 2018

Having a good day even though things started out pretty bad. My r/o machine is broke and I was going to ship fish this week that is on hold until they get out here late today or tomarrow. bummer and no water for me either.

good thing, I did not gain weight yesterday even though I had mashed potatoes it is something I think I should not have for food sensitivity issues, which I think is wrong, I have tested twice and felt good after having them. But it is bad if I want to get into ketosis for healing. Either way I enjoyed them and the family meal!

I went for my follow up appointment with the doctor and we discussed my recent labs, I had lots of questions. And my ultrasound, we did the entire abdominal area and my gallbladder is great, my kidneys are just fine and so is my liver. So being on keto for almost 2 years and now carnivore has improved my health overall. Not bad being in my 60's to get a clean bill of health on those essential organs!

We discussed mast cell diseases and I asked her to do a little research on what tests we would need to do in the future if my allergies don't eventually settle down after this clean up diet. I am not ready to go to the allergist until things settle down. and since I have a histamine issue the tests I will eventually need to have will be more complicated, so I would rather self heal and only get into it if I have a set back.

My fridge is working better but I am still concerned about it. I just bought a ton of stuff at Sam's club and we will see how it does being fuller. I still have my other fridge if something goes wrong.

I got great deal of meat for great prices. I bought top center cut loin chops for $3 and change a pound. I got almost 13 pounds of ribeye for under $118 and I got two huge chickens for $9 and change. That should last 2 to 3 weeks of meat. Not bad. I spend $80 to $90 a week at publix. Next week I will bulk by some chicken to stock up. They have an awesome deal on eggs too, but that will have to wait too.

Oh and my lite headedness I have had lately seems to be from low blood pressure, I tend to do that when I don't have enough salt.

All in all a good day!

Glad you are having a good day and that you enjoyed your family meal! I love potatoes - glad that they aren't making you feel bad. Another food you can add to your list of foods you can eat.

yep as an occasional treat it is nice to be able to add a little. I still don't tolerate the garlic and onion my husband adds to the fried potatoes but mashed are just fine!

Aww man you can eat potatoes... might be worth it to go off Keto on really bad days. Maybe it will help with the terrible cramping you experience

I am not supposed to eat potatoes on my 30 days of beef and water, but I am not supposed to drink coffee either. I am just delaying things. But it is nice I don't seem to have trouble with potatoes allergy wise. I am just bored with no exercise and eating and drinking things I should not have while I have been waiting to start back.

You've got A LOT going on right now - take a breath, we'll still be here on the other side of that (LOL!) - wonder if your allergies and food sensitivities are related.

allergies and food sensitivities are similar defense system attacks what is not wanted in the body. I have always disliked eating veggies and never been big into eating a lot of healthy foods. Healthy foods always seem to trigger bad responses in my diet. I know better but I tried and this is what happened, overload of response that needs to calm down. I would be much better off only eating meat to be honest about it. Which is what I am doing now other than my abuse of having coffee which I know I should not have.

I can only imagine how boring just eating meat can be 😕 Hang in there! Coffee is just sooo good I don’t know if I’d be able to go with out it for very long. Have you tried eating coffee flavored candy? I wonder if they make them sugar free...

I actually prefer meat, some people really love their veggies but I have never been one. Now chocolate fudge ice cream is a whole different matter. LOL! I have my 5 hour energy and that works for the coffee replacement to avoid the caffeine withdrawal. I am starting that back today!

I could do carnivore, but I think my wallet thanks me for not trying that one..

😂😂😂 I hear ya!! I just didn’t eat enough chocolate while I was off keto 😉 If the caffeine is what you miss the most you might want to try Yerba mate tea. They say it has the same effects as coffee but with more focus. I have it mint didnt really like the flavor enough to drink it

I have problems with any tea, I have some kick butt tea, high caffeine but it effects me badly. the 5 hour is no problem for what ever reason so I use that. and yes I miss the heat in the morning but exercise will take care of that for me.

Damn! Well at least something gets you going! Have you tried hot water with lime? Can you have lime?

Cb1006 you would definitely go broke at your current calorie rate 🤣

I have not tried that I have lemons here and I don't think they bother me.

CB it is expensive but when you go to a wholesale club and save tons of money buying in bulk, it actually is not as expensive as you think. I don't eat veggies so don't buy much my husband loves his broccoli I don't drink soda's any more so that is a big savings as I used to go through 3 to 4 8 packs of diet a week. grocery bill goes down for our regular stuff and I loaded up at Sam's club. just meat is also a lot of fat, a lot!
