Different.

I went savory, with chia breakfast.  And, really, it was pretty good.  Chia, hot water, and a touch of coffee... just to be... different.  Not that adding coffee is odd, but what else was in it made the mix seem... strange... to even my mind.  Then I added butter, cream, a teaspoon of sea salt... half more like, but to taste... garlic and onion powder or flakes for the latter, a touch of cinnamon, oh, and a quarter teaspoon of ghost pepper flakes.  You know you... have a taste for spicy, when you choose ghost pepper for a milder heat profile.  *grins*

Seriously, compared to my really hot stuff, that is... still warm, but... the difference between a foot and an inch from the flame?  Something like that.

It turned out swell.  Different, indeed, but good.  Now, I am not quite ready to go on the carnivore diet.  But, I am heading that way.  As such, I am beginning to limit my sweet drops to four a day.  I had... gotten... a bit overboard with those.  Even now, I meant to put in two, but put in three, in my fatted coffee, and was about to put in more, out of habit.  Three isn't two, but it also isn't five or seven or ten.  So... it's... a start.  Boy is it bitter.  I'll probably need to cut coffee?  Though, this time, I added a bit much, for some odd reason.

All good.  It will take me a while to retrain.  And, I am still, somewhat, in zombie mode.  Just... acting, or reacting, or going by habit.  Even with the furnace up, I am cold.  Until my body gets used to medicine, that is how it will be.  I am guess this summer will be much better, even when it gets hot... until I break down from the heat.  AC only does just so much.  The heat, and cold, will break me down, eventually.  Of course, that I am less resistant to the cold, and more resistant to heat, to my mind, almost assures that I am getting healthier.  It is a good sign, even if it doesn't mean a whole lot.  It... just... is a better trend, mild trend, but good.

While I can't quite get to full carnivore, immediately, I will be pushing to get as close as possible as I go along.  I am hoping, by the first part of June, to have stocks in and be ready to dump sweetener totally, if I haven't already.  Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, but I think I can.  Bacon and eggs yet today.  And, maybe fried chops.  But, too, dishes, a shower, and... such.  Ugh.  

While carnivore isn't exactly keto, it could easily be considered a form of it.  Adding intermittent fasting, and... yea, sure.  They become quite similar.  Not long ago, I was in ketosis strongly.  But more because I wasn't eating almost anything but meat and chia, but too, I wasn't eating enough, rightly.  My breath smelled so bad.  Ugh.  I'll probably have to go through the keto flu again.  Sometimes the methods to ameliorate that work, or help.  Sometimes nothing helps.  Will just have to see, this time.  

Blood sugar went up, but then I am having a fatted coffee right after the odd chia breakfast.  Perhaps I needed to wait.  Still, was surprised it rose 47 points, to 267.  Will check again in about three hours.  Later.
