  1. I like Terry Black's, but am partial to Kreuz in Lockhart. A couple of weeks ago their brisket was actually pretty good again. And the people going with me are big fans of their sausage, so we'll probably end up there again. I'm hoping for a repeat of the brisket. And I agree with you about City Market, unfortunately.
  2. I see them on Yelp. It's either them or stop in Lockhart/Luling on the way.
  3. If you are strict Keto, then your insulin is rock bottom. Insulin is the hormone that causes you to store glucose as fat. You don't have excess glucose if you're strict Keto. Basically, there's very little chance your gain is fat. It's most likely a combo of muscle and water.
  4. I'm going to be in Gonzales on Saturday for the hot rod show. Any bbq joints worth a visit?
  5. 24 hours after eating that meal, which included a good deal of carbs, my ketones are at 3.2. I gained roughly 5 lbs yesterday from food and drink. By this morning I had already dropped 2 of those. I'll be close to where I was pre-feed in another day or two.
  6. I wanted to post about this a couple weeks ago, but couldn't find the graphic I had seen in December. One of the local news stations showed a map of downtown showing the locations of all the bodies found in water during 2018. There were about 5 in Austin. The accompanying story asked if a serial killer could be on the loose. Then I saw this Smiley Face Killers thing this month. Interesting.
  7. I'm white and got pushed out of Austin. My parents moved away. I moved to Kyle. My aunt and uncle will move to Bastrop soon. It's just too expensive to own in Austin for us. But we're not going around protesting. Our family has been in Austin as long or longer than those in this article. Things change. With that said, I don't blame that last guy for having an axe to grind. I'd be pissed too if my grandmas' houses were taken by imminent domain.
  8. I had Terry Black's today. Ate at 2pm and again at 10pm. Had carbs. 1 lb brisket 1 sausage link 1/4 lb chopped brisket Almost half of a beef rib. I may eat the rest tomorrow. Not sure. Serving of mac n cheese - it's way better than it's been. must have redone the recipe in the last couple of weeks. 1 cornbread muffin Sauce May start my fast now and give the rest of my rib to my friend. Not eating again till Friday evening.
  9. Just did my blood tests. Yikes. Ketones 5.2 Glucose 60 GKI 0.6 Insane.
  10. I've lost 11 lbs since Monday. A little bit more than that since eating last Saturday.
  11. It gets easier. It's not my first rodeo fasting. I did an 88hr my first try last summer. Did a 7-day last year. I've done multiple 3-4 day fasts. I'm only breaking this one because I want to eat some bbq, not because I'm famished and feeling terrible. I feel fine.
  12. 142.5 hours into my fast. Just got home and weighed. It's not my normal first thing in the morning weigh-in...but I've lost a bunch this week. Not exactly sure the number, but I'm down 30 in 2019. I plan on breaking my fast at around 158 hours tomorrow at Black's BBQ for lunch.
  13. Almost 109 hours into my fast. Ketones: 3.4 Sugars: 78 GKI: 1.27 Almost broke my fast today. Was thinking last night I'd have a huge omelette today when I went to breakfast with the folks. And then have a pile of bbq for lunch and start again. But I didn't do it. I want to weigh before breaking it, so I have to wait till Saturday to eat. That'll give me close to 7 full days fasted. I did have almost 2 tsp of powdered creamer in my coffee at the cafe. ~20 calories. Oh well.
  14. I just checked online. I knew their vanilla add-in had calories. Didn't realize they had diet cherry. I'll go with that. Will have to try mango.
  15. 85 hours into my current fast. Was down about 6 lbs as of yesterday. Out of town now without my scale. Bur I did check my numbers. Ketones: 2.9 Sugars: 78
  16. I'm 41.5 hours into a fast after my bbq gorging on Saturday. I ate around 2+ lbs of food that evening. I've lost .4 lbs since that meal. It's like it never happened. I checked my blood levels about an hour and a half after waking up today. Ketones: 1.6 Blood Sugar: 90 Best combined results I've had since restarting on Jan 1. I've lost 19 lbs in January. But still need to lose another 24 to get back to my low of last September when I fell off the wagon. When I lose 31 more lbs, I'll have lost 100 since 1/8/2018.
  17. Just broke my 93 hour fast with Kreuz BBQ. Cheated a bit with some sauce and their new loaded baked potato casserole. May eat the rest of the brisket/sausage/ribs in a couple hours. Get it in a 4-hr window, then start another 3+ day fast.
  18. We don't eat embryos. They're not fertilized eggs. Cultural appropriation...lol. Give me a break.

    I like Tucci's Southside grilled garlic bologna.
  20. Orale Super Tacos - Weslaco, TX Love their flour tortillas. Their barbacoa taco is amazing. Good breakfast tacos. I really liked their omelette as well.
  21. I enjoy Orale Super Taco in Weslaco. Their barbacoa taco for breakfast is killer.
  22. Also, my friend is a federal meat inspector. He says the best beef he's personally inspected is Whataburger. Worst? McDonald's.
  23. I don't really worry about sodium or cholesterol. The cholesterol stuff is myth. Many doctors are coming around to that.
