Diet: Living on beef and eggs

[steveinbsas]

Why wouldn’t you consume hard cheese? it’s the best, no carbs, no gluten, no sugar (bugs ate all the lactose), a bit salty for sure but mostly protein and a bit of fat.

I don't consume anything that isn't likely to become "crumbly" and difficult to swallow. Too many geezers die of aspiration pneumonía as a result of inhaling food particles they are unable to swallow. I know from experience that hard cheese poses this danger.

I stopped buying hard cheese several years ago for this reason and soon after that I also stopped buying queso cremoso in the supermarket 9when I realized that it contains trans-fats). I can make ricotta at home but I rarely do so. I drink a glass of whole milk in the morning and always eat three or four "soft boiled" eggs at the same time. I repeat this every evening at least two hours before going to bed and I consume at least a tablespoon of butter after eating the eggs and drinking the milk.

If it was available, I would buy full fat cottage cheese and I would eat it every day, especially in the evening to maintain and build muscle.

Do you enjoy that diet or do you just treat it as fuel for the body and that is all?

As I no longer have sugar cravings, eating eggs and meat with enough fat is satiating and I have no burning desire to eat any of the "stuff" I used to eat.

I always add white vinegar to the milk that I drink when eat the eggs. My total carb intake (almost all from the milk) is less than 50 grams per day, and as I consume far and protein with the carbs, I don't worry about glucose levels.

I almost always walk for at least 30 minutes after breakfast and lunch and do some "wall and chair" exercises several times during the day and before going to bed.

Ok, I have to say I hadn’t thought of that.
