I've started eating some meats again, and I'm finding that I'm disappointed most of the time. After several chews every meat I've had (tuna, salmon, chicken, shredded pork so far--sadly, I'm allergic to shellfish) becomes so tasteless and yucky that I don't want to swallow it. {Big sigh.} Have others had this experience?

I wonder if it's the quality or preparation of the food. Or maybe meat has always been this tasteless underneath all the spices and grease, and I was just inhaling it too quickly to notice?

Yum, prime rib sounds good! Can't wait!

Prime rib does sound good! I haven't had trouble with any of the meat I've tried and find it very tasty. Especially after 3 weeks of liquids. But, I am worried about carbs. I can eat so little that by the time I get protein in, I can't handle anything else. I've only had a bite of veggies here and there. I am worried about being in this state of ketosis for so long. I went back to drinking a Premier shake everyday (*shaking fist* I vowed to be done with shakes) so that I can get that large dose of protein in at one time. Hoping that maybe I could squeeze in some veggies along the way.

My hubby made dinner last night because I worked late.. He made turkey burgers in the oven with low fat gravy.It was wonderful and not dry at all.. Sometimes the ground turkey gets to dry. We had it with some mashed potatoes.. I have found I have to have something on my meat to help it go down better.. Chicken I dip in low fat mayo for example. I'm almost 8 wks out and down 28 pounds. Everything tastes different now!! it's crazy.. tomorrow night we got a small steak to split for valentine day.. I won't eat but a bite or two but I'm looking forward to it. We have not had red meat in months.He does not have a weight problem but has changed his eating habits for me so it will be a treat for him too. Take care and you are not alone with your new taste buds!
