Me too, except I use cultured butter to make up the needed % fat, and
grind my own because I no longer trust any butcher. Meat is usually
browned, egg yolks raw, butter and gelatin are all I eat lately. A few
sips of wine for the evening meal.
It took a lot more than three months for me to get over the lethargy;
never got the depression, I think because I eat raw.
