You mean eating ham all week?

Eating all protein all week cuts the carbs and drops pounds.  It can be ham or fish or chicken or steak or turkey or a combination of those and other meats.  The important thing is to only eat meat.

Can you have some kind of sauce with the meat like mayo that is all fat but no carbs?

Its a slippery slope. When you start doing things like that, you start adding a LOT of calories.

No sauce, no butter, no gravy, no dressing, no vegetables, no salad, no oil, no breading, no ketchup, no mustard, no bread, no crackers, no cheese, no milk, nothing but meat.  Once you add other things you bring back carb cravings and you kill the magic of ketosis.  Ketosis is what causes the weight loss.

To do this right, buy a bottle of keto sticks and make sure your urine turns them purple every morning.

Can you use seasoning to cook your meat with?

A typical meal plan for me for a day:

B: 1 16 oz cup of decaf coffee... drink that and then 1/2 hour later: 1 hardboiled egg OR 6 oz low fat cottage cheese

S: 1 cheese stick

L: 2 oz meat of some sort (leftover roasted or grilled turkey, beef, chicken, fish), a few bites of green salad or steamed green veggie

S: 1 oz pork rinds followed 1/2 hour later by a Premier Protein shake

D: 2-3 oz meat of some sort (see lunch), I make this more interesting by using various marinades, flourless gravy, or herbal rubs. a few bites of vegetable. I do put full fat sour cream or real butter (not margarine) on my veggies and about once a week have 1/4 cup or so of baked sweet potato as an alternative side dish. Last month I did have baked sweet potato fries (about 5 of them) which were really yummy.

S: 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt with 1/8 cup of either frozen blue berries or frozen chopped strawberries and a Splenda pack. I might have this two or three evenings a week just to keep the probiotics in my gut happy.

And most important, if I feel hungry and it's not time to eat, I drink more water. I mean, I sip, sip, sip all day... but if my body lies to me and claims it is hungry, I deliberately drink a full cup of water to fill my pouch. Then it leaves me alone for a while. Again, avoid drinking 1/2 hour to an hour before and after meals and snacks. I do add the Torrani flavored sugar free fruit flavors to my water so I don't get tired of drinking water.

Some will feel that there are too many snacks in my plan... but, so far, it's working for me. If I stall out for more than 3 weeks with no loss, I will drop a snack or cut it in half for a few days and that usually kick starts it again. If that doesn't do it, then I actually INCREASE a snack by a little bit (like a cheese stick and a half) for ONE day and for some reason, that tricks my body into losing again.
