I have shifted to Dr. Berry's BBBE Challenge. Bacon, beef, butter and eggs...or butter, bacon, beef and eggs...or...well, I really do not know what the order is! In practice, I am just adding a couple of eggs into my routine—well, my WIFE has been doing a wonderful job pulling it all together. She is a better cook than me; I tend to just make the temps right and wolf it down so that I can focus my attention elsewhere.

• Bacon, a half package of bacon (cooked range of 2-4 oz)
• Ground beef, a pre-cooked half lb of (~5oz)
• Butter, 12 tbsp
• Eggs, 2 Large

It is a burger patty with a cross-hatched layer of bacon in an egg soft taco. The remaining bacon is on the side. I wash it all down with unsalted butter melted into boiling water poured over ice. This drink can come off tasting like cheesecake. Everything is salted to taste. Sidebar: I have not returned to my homemade ghee since we moved for it remains in the cabinet.

I have been eating that in the morning around 7 and I am good for the rest of the day with a few cans of my bubbily water along the way.

So, it is NOT a challenge—it is DELIGHTFUL! The weight is falling off of me and I am having buckets of fun while I am doing it. My only regret is that I was not a carnivore in 1996 as I wound up winding down my time in high school. College would have been wholly different. And I would have changed my parents' lives.

Now, I reached the conclusion that calories don't amount to JACK SQUAT...

...and learned that fat is an organ regulating the body's hormones.

I also like Dr. Berry's take on it as well:

In my own application, I went one Expedition averaging 3000 kcal a day and worked out 2 hours a day and dropped substantial weight. I went another Expedition averaging 1900 kcal and that same 2 hours: after that set of six weeks, I lost 1 lb. One pound! Yeah, I confirmed right THEN that the whole calories in-out gimmick was by folks who have NOT walked-the-walk.
