30 Day Carnivore Challenge : Day #28

Today I went for my weekly Sunday morning walk with my partner. I was very energetic and had no trouble keeping up with my lahling.

For lunch, I had another go at ceviche. This time I used salmon.


I sliced the salmon thinly and marinated the salmon in lime juice which was simply seasoned with some salt. As you can see, I added some sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced shallots and finely minced cilantro.


This ceviche tasted very fresh and light and was a major improvement compared to the one I attempted earlier. So you could say that this is a very light lunch.


I took a pic of this pretty cat on Thursday. I couldn't help it.


Every time I see a cat, I just have to stop and stare look at it.


I can't afford this one for sure.


Already with my two capalang cats, it is quite heavy on my pocket. The cost of maintaining this one might be equal to the cost of maintaining four ordinary cats. 

Anyway. I'll just admire the pretty cat from afar.


Now, meet my new toy hee..hee..hee...


Perfect for cooking burger patties. It comes out very well browned. I did flip the burger because it was under cooked. I need to get used to my new air fryer to figure out the cooking time.

This air fryer is more spacious and so much better than the el cheapo one that I bought earlier.


I am having lamb for dinner. It's something I hardly ever eat.


This is a very hefty dinner. Very fatty too. 

I'm loving this way of eating because I don't have to restrict the amount of food I eat. The quantity of food I eat is determined by my appetite. When I am full, I stop. If I am not hungry, I simply don't eat.

Already, I lost one whole inch around my waistline, without depriving/restricting portion size. I am not depressed anymore and I am happy and calm. The anxiety that I feel every now and then is also gone.

  3. Me too. Rarely have lamb at home. Red meat, not good for my man's gout. His favourite grilled lamb and lamb stew, I also don't cook often now.

    1. Oh, I also enjoy lamb stew. If I remember correctly, I cooked it only once.

  4. Looks like your carnivore challenge is suitable for you. I must go get myself a new toy too. Hubby will love the lamp chops. Did you use the air fryer for cooking the lamp chops too?

    1. Yes, I used the air fryer to cook the lamb chops. They turned out very juicy and tender.

  5. From what you said, does that mean your depression and anxiety was caused by the fact that you had to restrict yourself from eating bigger portions + you could not reduce your weight? Now that you've lost an inch off your waistline from this carnivore diet, you no longer feel depressed. Good for you. I was very sure that an all meat diet would definitely result in weight loss as any diet that cuts off carbs will be successful although personally I'm not a supporter of an all meat diet. I'm a believer of eating everything in moderation....but am glad to hear that this has worked out for you. P/S: How is this air fryer better than your previous one other than it being more spacious? I'm still thinking if I should get an air fryer but after hearing from Choi Yen the cleaning is tedious with lots of oil splatter, I'm also afraid.

    1. No, it was not caused by restriction. I reckon it is the carbohydrates as well as other compounds present in certain foods. A meat only diet is basically an elimination diet, cutting off everything else and healing in the process. I will not rule out adding greens later on. I feel very good as of right now, clear headed, calm and happy.

      This Philips XXL air fryer is excellent! Spacious and easy to use. The old one was too small and has less function. It is true that cleaning is tedious ie cleaning the heating element. As for the air fryer basket, it is not a problem.

  6. Your lamp chops are quite fatty and if I'll prefer to pan fry them to reduce the greasiness. It's good for your that this carnivore diet not only benefits both physically and mentally of yours.
