Next time I need to get some chicken feet. I usually do mine in the crockpot with bones from a pulled rotisserie chicken for 24-48 hours. I love the way the house smells for that day! I’ve been meaning to add the chicken feet bc mine doesn’t gel like I want it to.

I do overnight in the crock and it looks scary before straining, but so easy to jelly and portion to the freezer. I’ll be doing another batch in about 9 more days. I love that I know exactly what is in there.

I caved today. Somebody brought in some BBQ ribs to work and that is like my kryptonite. I tasted some and I was fully expecting a stomach ache, but so far so good. When I got home, I decided to have something a little better for my belly, so I had bone broth, avocado, steamed broccoli, sauerkraut, kimchi, and olives. Felt pretty good after. Now I’m going to try to figure out what way I can maintain and perhaps keep losing while still enjoying food with my wife and kids.

@bralee21 - That looks soooooo good!!
Thank you for that kimchi recipe, I think I found the exact Youtube video you suggested. My fiance is going to make us some this weekend to enjoy next week 
@bralee21 - I would have caved for some BBQ ribs too 
It must have been amazing all those flavours exploding in your mouth.
You can be proud of yourself for making it to 17 days!!! It is an awesome accomplishment!! Well done Brad!! 
Well done ! I first hand know how hard it is to pass the 17day mark. The foul smell and nausea is the worst. Well done ! You can be really proud of yourself. Just stick to a healthy refeed plan and all your efforts won’t be in vain.
Congrats !!

I can’t even think about meat when breaking for some reason. Bone broth yes - and the mushrooms come out to give me a meaty chew.
17 day is substantial!
