I'm currently doing a very modified fat fast...it's a version of Atkins where you increase the amount of fat and decrease the amount of protein you eat, as excessive protein can metabolize into sugar (which explains why I get sleepy during the day if I eat too much meat). So -- bacon. Eggs. Cheeses. Butter, sour cream, cream cheese. Whipped cream w/sweetener (I use liquid Splenda, which avoids the sugar added to regular Splenda). Meats. Fish. Poultry.
Dinner tonight was smoked salmon, wrapped in thin slices of Swiss cheese, with cream cheese and a bit of onion. Almost didn't miss the bagel!
