Steak & Eggs Diet Diary: April 2025

on

April 1st (Tue) ~ 30th (Wed)

Coconut Water
If I had to drink it, post-workout was the best time. For some reason, drinking it during or after meals made me hungrier, leading to overeating. And sometimes, drinking coconut water would make my stomach gurgle. It’s an incredibly effective electrolyte, far better than Gatorade, but sticking to fresh and clean spring water seems to save money and keep my appetite in check.


No Shampoo, No Body Odor
Started the No Shampoo (No Poo) challenge on December 1, 2024. It’s already been five months. Except for the shampoo service at the salon, washing my hair with just water has been enough to keep it from getting oily. If needed, I used natural soap. Additionally, I sometimes feel my nose completely clear. Body odor, foot odor, and bad breath have somehow disappeared. Absolutely phenomenal! I’m really starting to feel the truth in the saying that all diseases, health, and body conditions begin with diet. 

Cheese - Parmigiano Reggiano
While maintaining a carnivore diet, I tried adding cheese. I found that even natural cheeses were often pasteurized and most pasteurized cheese had a bitter taste at the end. This led me to study cheese a bit more. Among fresh cheeses, burrata was decent enough. However, Parmigiano Reggiano was an exceptional fit for me. This unpasteurized cheese is aged exclusively in Italy. Its probiotics and flavor are absolutely outstanding. The ultimate healthy snack. Considering its production, aging process, and health benefits, I’d willingly pay for it to eat it often.

April 2025 Summary:
  • Coconut water post-workout isn't bad, but I'd rather stick to clean, fresh water. 
  • For someone like me who doesn't absorb fat well, butter might be little problematic.
  • Parmigiano Reggiano is the best cheese and snack to me.
  • White Rice and Ghee will be included in May.

  • Bowel Movement: around 5:30PM, brown loose stool
  • Notes: Woke up around 03:30AM because my heart hurt. I suspect two possible reasons: 1. I ate boiled meat cooked with too much cinnamon and ginger for two days in a row, or 2. I ate Parmigiano Reggiano that had been stored for too long (about three months or more, no mold visible). Cassia cinnamon stick is the most likely candidate. Went to bed around 11:00PM.

  • Diet: Lunch: Angus beef patty(1lb), cheese omelette(3 eggs, Parmigiano Reggiano), honey, a small cup of coconut water, Carnivore Crisps Beef Brisket
  • Bowel Movement: N/A
  • Notes: Woke up around 8:00AM. Now it feels like I need to eat about 1.5 pounds of meat to feel full. If I eat less than that, I get hungry again quickly by evening. Went to bed around 10:00PM.

  • Weight: 69.3kg(☀) / 70.1kg (☽)
  • Diet: Breakfast: Angus beef patty(1lb), fried eggs(3), a small cup of coconut water / Dinner: Angus beef patty(1lb), scrambled eggs(3), honey, a small cup of coconut water

Day 245
  • Weight: 69.6kg(☀) / 69.7kg (☽)
  • Diet: Lunch: NY strip steak(1.25lbs), omelette(4, Parmigiano Reggiano) / Dinner: scrambled eggs(3), Parmigiano Reggiano, honey
  • Bowel Movement: N/A
  • Notes: Woke up around 8:00AM. When eating freshly bought Parmigiano Reggiano raw, it starts with a distinctive cheesy aroma, followed by a yogurt-like taste, and finishes with a rich, creamy milk flavor. When cooked in a pan, the cheese loses its pungent aroma entirely, and a rich, nutty flavor comes through strongly. It goes great with honey and must pair well with wine. At $13.65 per pound, that’s a reasonable price. Went to bed around 10:30PM.
Day 246
  • Weight: 69.4kg(☀) / 69.9kg (☽)
  • Diet: Lunch: NY strip steak(1.25lbs), fried eggs(3) / Dinner: omelette(3), Parmigiano Reggiano
  • Bowel Movement: N/A
  • Notes: Woke up around 7:00AM. I discovered the lactase enzyme. It was an amazing solution for lactose intolerance. I used to deliberately seek out unpasteurized or raw dairy to eat, but now I can safely enjoy pasteurized dairy foods without worry. Went to bed around 10:30PM.
Day 247
  • Weight: 69.4kg(☀) / 69.3kg (☽)
  • Diet: Lunch: NY strip steak(1.25lbs), fried eggs(3) / Dinner: scrambled eggs(2), Parmigiano Reggiano
  • Bowel Movement: at 12:30PM, loose stool
  • Notes: Woke up around 7:30AM. For the past three days, my nose feels moderately clear than before. I’ve had rhinitis and sinusitis, but I’m not sure exactly what cleared up or how, though it feels amazing. Is this the effect of focusing on having a unprocessed diet finally showing after about seven months? I mean, there were some cheating days. But right after waking up, my nose is always stuffy. Went to bed around 10:00PM.
Day 248
  • Weight: 69kg(☀) / 69.3kg (☽)
  • Diet: Breakfast: omelette(3), Parmigiano Reggiano, honey / Linner: NY strip steak(1.25lbs), fried eggs(3)

  • Bowel Movement: N/A
  • Notes: Woke up around 4:30AM. I woke up at dawn to the sound of someone using the bathroom and something running in the house. Originally, my feet had a foot odor that smelled like vinegar, but today I happened to smell my feet... and amazingly, there was no smell at all. No smell whatsoever! Went to bed around 10:30PM.

  • Bowel Movement: at 7:43PM, loose stool
  • Notes: Woke up around 8:00AM. I cleaned the church today and finished drinking 1L of coconut water around 3 PM. Then, around 4 PM, I felt my stomach gurgling. It seems my gut, used to animal-based food, was surprised by the sudden influx of carbs in coconut water. Both cheeses had a bitter aftertaste. The brie tasted fishy. Went to bed around 12:00 AM.
