What with semla and coffee yesterday and the pizza I'm getting today, I think we've covered all the basic food groups on two days!

Another pizza - what is happening??

For the past two months or so, I've been buying chuck eye steaks (along with pork steaks) for my second/final meal of the day, they being quite tasty and very reasonably priced...for beef. Well, Walmart had none in stock yesterday. I ended up buying eye-of-round instead, them being even less expensive. Ate the first of them today. Or tried to. Taste and texture were decidedly subpar. I managed just over three-fourths of mine before unceremoniously dumping the rest in the trash. Sadly, five more of my meals will have to be eye-of-round. Either that or do without. I'm tempted to do so. On the other hand, some individual steaks have a bit of marbling, which today's lacked. Plus, I think I overcooked today's steak a bit. So things might not be as bad as they seem, with emphasis on the "might."

I've added yogurt to my food arsenal. Not just any yogurt. Stonyfield Organic Probiotic Plain Yogurt made with Whole Milk. I down a heaping spoonful after breakfast and my first Dulera inhalation treatment, immediately before brushing teeth. I down another heaping spoonful after my second meal, just prior to brushing teeth. My third heaping spoonful is downed following my second aerosol antibiotic session. (I don't brush afterward but gargle extensively.) I consume it to hopefully compensate for the potential negative side effects of my antibiotic and Dulera sessions. It helps that it doesn't taste at all bad.

Speaking of which, it's time to begin my second aerosol antibiotic treatment.

Sub-par beef? Sounds like stew or a crockpot experiment in the works. . . .

Just had some chips and soda.

Fixed it

Thanks, how could I forget about the precious bacon.

Regarding expensive fast food


Why does this channel only have 18 subs?

I knew the gist of almost everything seen here, but not the juicy details. Yeah, if all this channel's output is as good as this video, it deserves a decent sub count.

Always on the lookout to "improve" my metabolic health, I recently got wind of a supplement called Berberine that makes claims that appeal to me, with its only mentioned negative side effect being that it can cause "loose stools." As a carnivore, my stools are quite firm and sometimes too firm for comfort. A little loosening isn't, in my case, necessarily a bad thing. I bought a bottle and began taking it twice a day, one capsule with each meal.

Nothing happened first. Then, on the morning of the third day, in the process of standing up off the sofa just after waking, I felt the need to fart—a gentle fart, more poot than true fart. What emerged was not sound but instead watery brown gunk, coating my left leg and the inside of my newly laundered sweatpants. From that point forward, I was subject to frequent, watery discharges. As a carnivore used to "going" maybe once every three days, this was not a welcome change.

A few days later, meat and eggs, the mainstays of my diet, began tasting increasingly more obnoxious by the meal, to the point where I was barely able to down anything, which didn't stop me from frequently "going." I discontinued Berberine. Only now, some days later, am I able to finish a decent portion of any one meal, with much struggle. "Going" frequency is much reduced, but not yet normal. I've not yet had any firm stools. Then again, with as little as I've had to eat, I'm lucky to have any stools at all, firm or otherwise.
