keto living

I've been semi-keto for a few months and I just realized I was doing it all wrong. 
I used to think keto and carnivore was the same thing.  You eat meat and meat by-products and avoid the carbs.  Not the same thing at all.  Carnivore is an all meat diet.  Keto is an all meat lifestyle.  Let me explain.

Keto is the state of ketosis you get into when you start burning ketones as a fuel instead of carbohydrates.  Burning ketones means you're burning body fat as a fuel.  To get there you have to ween your body off of processing carbohydrates as a fuel.  That means giving up sugar, grains, and starchy foods like potatoes and corn and utilizing interval fasting to hack your system.  (three meals or less a day)  It also requires a macro-nutrient distribution of 17% protein, 4% carbohydrates, 79% fat when you decide to re-feed.

Guess what falls exactly into the guidelines of a perfect ketogenic diet.

LIVERWURST.  Do you believe this shit?  I had to recheck my findings but it seems liverwurst is the ideal health food.  Ya can't make this shit up. Liverwurst has the exact macro-nutrient makeup that will put you in ketosis and keep you there.  If all you ate was liverwurst, you would lose 2 lbs of ugly fat a day, have way more energy, and cure whatever ailments you have.  The only problem is you can't put it in a sandwich. 

It's gross enough for some people to eat a liverwurst sandwich with onion and mustard on a hard roll and another to actually eat liverwurst without any bread at all.  And here lies the problem.

If you have physical problems like obesity, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, GERD, cellulites, high blood pressure, or any other malady your doctor says you have, and you can't change your diet, then you'll die.  Your doctor isn't in the business of curing YOU.  He's in the business of maintaining your diseases until your insurance runs out. 

You can go the route of big pharma and die a meaningless death or cure yourself.

Given the choice of liverwurst without bread or a long, painful death, which would you choose?  

Unfortunately, most people I know would rather die than eat liverwurst.  I hate to say it but fuck em.  Let em die.  If you can't be bothered to even look into your own health concerns, don't expect me to cheerfully pick up the tab when you go terminal. 

Just OD on opiates and become a statistic.

Wouldn't it be better to get a lb of liverwurst from your deli and try it with a little dejon mustard before you totally give up?

I'm stopping at my butcher shop. He sources his meats from North Dakota, grass fed, no nitrites, etc. I'll eat a liverwurst sandwich without bread any time--roll it up with a little tomato and onion in a spinach leaf. Yum.

Better still, roll the liverwurst out and pack it with veggies and pinch the edges together. A slight dusting with almond flour might be useful during the construction process. Liveroli. Yum!!!!!!

A much easier way is to get the softer braunschweiger in the clear plastic tube, cut off one end and eat it like a popsicle. Get some free packets of condiments from your local fast food joint and you're good to go.

Sounds like an "on the run" solution that's fairly reliable. As a small child, I could never get my fill of liverwurst. Mom always gave me the ends of the tube as they became available. Perhaps there's a liverwurst recipe book in my horizon.
