clare Heh, I'm not a big kebab eater, but the last time I had one, they put it in a wrap, and my god was that thing overfilled. At least I didn't make as much of a pig's dinner of it as my mum did, but it still went bloody everywhere.

    Is that cheese in there?

        malmon

        Indeed it is. Butter, some sausage, tomatoes, cheese, some sprouts, but I don't know the plant's english name, and mayo. Just a bit of everything for a solid morning start. Pretty tasty too, the tomatoes made it way too wet though, but they're good and healthy and I haven't had any in some time.

        Chopsticks are nice. I bought some some time ago, don't have many opportunities to use them though. Not very good with them either, but I bought them to practice so I don't make a fool out of myself next time I go to some Japanese restaurant or something.

        I hope your stir fry was tasty!

                I've been trying out the carnivore diet since Sunday in an attempt to sort out my IBS issues. Gotta say that on day 6, I'm feeling surprisingly good.

                The first 3 days were hell, though. Zero energy while your body adjusts to ketosis, and pretty bad diarrhoea.

                Now though, I feel pretty fine! Before, I'd always be bloated full of cramps after a meal. That seems to have gone. And I go to bed with a flat stomach.

                Some of my IBS symptoms aren't 100% gone, but what can one expect after 6 days, after all?

                There are big downsides though... pretty obvious ones too. Meat, good meat, is expensive. Meal costs have probably tripled at least for me. Also, eating nothing but meat and some dairy gets old, very fast. At least for me. While I'm glad that 70-80% of my IBS symptoms have gone, I'm left dreading meal times - especially lunch at work. Perhaps with more planning, I could've devised a more interesting meal plan, but I'm not sure how sustainable that would be either.

                I think that from this Sunday, I'll start moving towards something more like a keto diet. Introducing some vegetables and nuts. If nothing else, it will hopefully make it more obvious what foods were giving me so much grief normally.

                  malmon glad it's working out for you but yea sucks about the cost and inconvenience
                  what kinda meat have you been eating?
