Even earlier than I feared, it starts, the EU has started to issue the list of future banned supplements and herbal remedies and the Germans are once again enthusiastically the first to start implementing it. I thoght it woudl take another 3-5 years, so it was written somewhere. To my surprise, the first to be hit are the alternative practitioners, who complain that some plant-based remedies, some of which are very important in daily practice, are no longer available. Suspiciously, however, Big Pharma is already providing substitute drugs that are not herbal but artificial, partly addictive and, like all medical drugs, more or less strongly side-effect-ridden. Its so good to have these bastards taking care of that we do not harm ourselves. Getting harmed by a professional is always better, since he has the expertise to do so.

Of course, the EU says that this is only for our protection. Who believes it is a complete idiot. The crime syndicate of the pharmaceutical-political complex seems to have prevailed all-embracing. I fear the very worst in the coming weeks and months.

For those supplements that are important to me, I have already done some research on the British Amazon site. The container sizes often are much smaller, and more expensive, and the dosages are usually lower. The situation in Germany is better (still, as long as it still lasts). This is going to be laborious, more expensive, and the question is how closely customs will look.

Thanks dirty EU, now I have one more personal reason to hate your guts. Not that I would have needed another reason for that.

I have completed day 19 of my carnivore experiment, which was initially scheduled for 30 days. I feel great about it, and eat every evening with an appetite and enthusiasm I haven't felt in many, many years. I now LOVE my meals, and fully focus on them - no TV, no music, just me and my meat. No trace of weariness. The morning scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese is now mostly not done, at most the bacon I fry, as a candy snack without candy, just the pot of coffee with cream, unsweetened, is obligatory, I need no coffeine kick (and do nto feel it), but I like the smell and taste. No problems during the day. Surprisingly, no craving at all after the weaned tastes of nougat, bread, pasta, etc. This is very different now than about two years ago when I did a just under year of relaxed, not too fanatical keto. I think that is because you eat more different things with Keto than with Carnivore diet: although daily also about meat, but not so much, but mainly vegetables. This may be a reason for remembering blocked out pleasures and then to starve, also I always experienced vegetables meals since all my life as extremely unsatisfying and have afterwards the need to reward me - so: craving for what is forbidden but one would like to eat. My evening carnage leaves me completely satisfied, I don't need or want anything else, and this feeling lasts the whole night and the following day. No craving for anything. Fat layers on the face and limbs have decreased significantly, unfortunately not yet so much on the belly, but a little bit already.

I enjoy that my shopping has become so incredibly easy, that's great! I also spend much less time in doing kitchen work.

And to make this clear, I am not really "fat", just very mildly overweighted, currently 82 kg at 177cm, BMI 26. Over two years ago I was at 92 kg, and then dropped in 6 months to 77, keto-style. If in one year I end up in the low 70s, I would be satisfied. I have no urgent health needs, I have time.

Subjective self-perception is: I feel real great. I have already decided to extend this experiment to 90 days at least. But honestly said: I think I stay with this new way, and make it not a diet, by a lifestyle. It just ticks all my boxes. And if I have not mentioned it : I do not like vegetables anyway, generally speaking. Never did.
