Haha.. right there with you! :)
Amusingly I've been leaning into BBQ ribs as a source of weight loss, which is nuts. The thing is though, clearing a set of ribs usually means nothing else is required during that meal besides a drink so it is kinda win win, mostly protein consumption, especially good if the enjoyment and taste is taken into consideration.
Lets not forget the sense of achievement staring down at a set of stripped bones. It is primal, it is satisfying, lets just eat the ribs!

Forgive the plate design, it wasn't important, the ribs were!
