I've been looking, both actively and inactively, about what... precisely,
exactly, to eat in order to raise the fat percentage of my diet. I am
sure that will work, if I can do it. As well as I was losing weight,
with all the problems I have, I am sure higher fat, and more calories, would
help.
I reviewed several videos. But they were all general. Just
suggesting I do what I am already suggesting, without giving more hints, tips,
tricks as to how or what to use to do that. So, this next video looked
promising.
However? It terrified me! I am not sure I could do that. Raw
or rendered, the whole idea is... repulsive! Seriously. And
yet? I may have to try it. Though I may look around just a bit
more, see if there is another way to use suet or trimmings. Warm, or
melted into... something, anything.
Still? It's... something I have never tried. And, it just might
work. I almost don't want it to, for my thought processes to date.
Then again, giving up vegetables, let alone sugar? That, at one time,
was repulsive. I didn't think it was possible. A step at a time
and I am, pretty much, there.
Although, I must admit, if I am going with suet or beef trimmings, I would
rather have those be from grass fed and finished beef. Though, who knows
how expensive that might be, or where I could find it locally. So, I may
start out with what I can more easily find locally... at the grocery stores,
or butcher shops.
Oh... best get checking those eggs, and finish cleaning the pots. One for eggs, if possible. The other for soup if the eggs don't work out. Hmm... if the eggs are good, or not, I may have to start ordering eggs again. Either way, that is. If I can get two dozen boiled, and another dozen for frying in a week, that would... be good.
The thing is, I do burn out on eggs, after a bit. It isn't just boredom, and it is the same with even beef, even steak. I just... burn out from time to time. However, with the goal, plan, etc, to raise both the calorie count and fat intake, I may have to simply push through a bit. And eggs, especially raised by good people who feed their birds correctly, it's worth trying to push through.
Later.
Hardboiled eggs got me through the first year, then one day... Nope, can't do any more. No appetite for them at all. I could get one out of the fridge right now, but I can't, doesn't even sound good. Going with the wife's version of "Asian style" chicken... Too much soy sauce (I didn't add anything but hot red pepper flakes) like a salt lick, getting cold, maybe the dogs will like it, first I'll fill their water.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to argue that the source is important. And, it is. But even that has limits. Mine are raised by neighbors, who feed organic feed, without soy or corn. They are as paranoid, about feed, as I am.
ReplyDeleteHowever, truth is, only so many eggs can be eaten. Still, I'd like to see if eggs can help me, more slowly, regain my feed capacity. But, then, back off as I get other foods back into the mix. It'll help.
Boy, these are delicious. But... that's me, from this side of that, and without having eaten for... four days now? Three or four. So... yes. Hunger is the finest sauce, spice, herb, or such on the planet. And, boy? I have it in spades.
Too much soy sauce, salt? If it's cooler, or cold, that will reduce that flavor (or can). But, some foods just aren't edible cool (or cold). Hmm, hope you find something something. I'm hungry for you. I hate thinking I'm going to bite into something good only to be forced away... for whatever reason. Well, maybe your friends will get something. Though, even they have limits.
Salt was too much, left leg showing the "sock rings" retaining fluid, haven't had that bad for months now. Mind the salt, then again it is an electrolyte, moderation always.
ReplyDeleteAlmost feel guilty giving salty leftovers to the dogs, maybe they'll enjoy, and unfortunately, by the nature of pets and our relationship with them... I will still outlive that portion of my family Pack. I've buried so many... And loved them all.
Hmm... lots of creatures, and people, I miss. Though, to be honest? I sometimes think they have it better. It's we who suffer, those who remain.
ReplyDeleteI mean... if there is a forever, which... I believe, I've seen it? Unless that was oxygen deprivation. Then, there is a good chance they are really in a better place. And, if there is no forever? Sometimes you have to think, even then? They... would still be... in a better place. This world is one of pain.
Even so, I... miss some people and critters something awful.
Oh, but pain? I do believe that is a grace, or the, a, possible path to a form of it. So... I don't know. I've decided to take the pain, as long as I can. *grins*
That scene in "Platoon"
ReplyDelete"Take the Pain... Take The PaaAIN!"
One more scratch, one more rub... how much SIMPLE pleasure our pets get and give with a simple touch.
I had to look it up. Well, there was a time I was more on that side of things. Even now, when a human would scream, I do silent screams. And, yes, dealing with my wounds, I have recently gone through it. For hours.
ReplyDeleteLots more could be said. But... why. Either you can, or you can't. Then, if you can, you will or you won't. Do you really think anyone is coming to help? There might be times to sound off, but... even then I'd do it within some limits. A phone call, not loud groaning or yelling, especially in some places.
