 Being a low carb for the past 10 years has not been a walk in the park Here are five things that we realized over that decade that we put into effect today Hey there njroute22.com here with a little low carb carnivore maybe keto Recap over the past 10 years of our lives We've had hundreds of books done all sorts of experimentation and We've we've gotten to a point here in 2019 where we sort of Have a better understanding of the low carb Diabetic or pre-diabetic or carnivore Lifestyle, it's kind of hard to explain because you know there's no one book out there If there was one book that told you the right way to do it It would be one page long and it would say Like four steps like one don't raise your blood sugar number two Don't eat High-carb foods number three the foods that you used to eat or no good and so on it It would be that simple, but obviously people want to learn about the mechanics behind it and the science behind it, but they're really And a lot of those sciences are wrong, but so here the top five low-carb Carnivore Realizations we've had in in the ten years We've been tinkering around with it and the number one and most important thing is never raise your blood sugar levels that is the the the single most important thing you can do and You know, it doesn't really matter what just find out what raises your blood sugar and then just don't do it It's that simple Because raising your blood sugar obviously prevents you from losing stored body fat Read the books. You're gonna find out that's true and and when you feel it and Experiment with it, you'll know that is that is the case and that leaves me to number two And that's about all these glow low glycemic Index foods like fruits and vegetables, you know avoid pineapples and bananas you can have blueberries and strawberries While that's true They are low low glycemic index foods compared to others, you know potatoes for instance a really Starchy high-carb foods none of the fruits and vegetables are worth it at this point We experimented we ate a ton of blueberries and tried to eat salads and stuff And we we got stuck in the mud and when we took the fruits and vegetables out of the equation we made Stunning progress to the next plateau where we're at now and I'll explain that at the end It's You just can't really go into ketosis when you constantly put little amounts of carbs in your body all day long and number three is These alternative guilty pleasures as they're called and you know, you look at all these low-carb blogs websites social media accounts and books they They're trying to replace our old guilty pleasures, you know cookies breads and so on And it's other sweets with low-carb alternatives and they never taste as good and they still have carbs and they're just truly Unnecessary I had a little good analogy here. It's like trying to hang on to those old moments. You used to You know physically or enjoy on your mouth, but physically did not enjoy on your body It's sort of like trying to replace To keep your ex partner around it never really works out Does it you know and think about it every time you try to keep the ex in your life? It's just still no good Or trying to find a new Partner that's sort of like your ex doesn't work either So if you use that analogy you should just get the sweets and the carby things out of your life And that's that's still kind of important. So My next point is about Flavoring and then spices and other ingredients that you might add to your foods I've been slowly facing them out just by by Necessity I noticed that when I add certain spices and sometimes I'll throw some onion There's for instance in a meat dish for flavor and I like to taste the onion and garlic But they don't make me feel good. They're inflammatory and If you cook the meat right and that nice and rare and The flavor of the meat plus salt is is really all you need and the fact that you're not hungry and you're constantly Satiated you don't need all these interesting or exotic dishes to to keep you entertained in your mouth Just eat your meat and move on and do other things in your life food It becomes secondary and not a primary part of your life and Lastly, it's about meat. I'm finding that meat Like I can't eat chicken anymore chicken used to be a good standby especially the fattier parts of the chicken like the thighs or the legs and I used to eat them and and After keeping it out of my life for a while and then having a couple bites here when the rest of the family eats it I just don't feel all that good and there's something that these pieces of chicken even the healthier Brands of chicken. I don't really like the way chicken affects my body So we're not doing that like the only two meats that really work for us And we're not into the organ meats yet maybe that's a lot of the carnivore people do that but red meat and You know steaks, which I don't do a lot of because of the expense a red ground ground beef and Pork pork is also slowly getting phased out with the exception of bacon pork The pork cuts the port tenderloins there They get stuck in my teeth, and I'm not sure I I'm a big fan of pork They're sort of sticking around for a little while, but I think pork is going to be almost eliminated in the future So that's it. Those are the five things That we are settling on now. I just wish there I guess it's hard to to just get it right away you sort of Gain from the experiences and the failures on on how to do things and they stick longer and they become Powerful in terms of just reading. Hey, don't raise your blood sugar. That's really not enough to motivate people Unless you follow the instructions exactly and you can remain committed I think the only way to remain committed long term is to experience it and Fortify your beliefs through trial and error.
