I ate only meat, mostly, for the month of March. By “meat,” I mean red meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood. I also ate small amounts of nuts, cheese, and heavy whipping cream.
As stated in my post “Just meat,” here are my goals for doing this: Continue reading
Just meat. For the entire month of March, that’s all I’ll be eating. (Feel free to suggest catchy alliterative titles! Marvelous Meaty March?)
