Anytime. Strict carnivore is working for me but I believe the operative words are 'working for me' not carnivore. The object is to find what is working and build from there. If it is carnivore great, if it is a modified version, then so be it. Our health should be the goalpost (and we all know in life the goalposts constantly change). Scott

I find it hard to say "you should try this or try that" but it is a bit easier to say "these are the positives I experienced". (if that makes any sense at all?) So far, and maybe it has been 7 or 8, but I have had only positive experiences from fasting. If added up all the fasts the weight loss was minimal but it was still some weight loss. The first couple three probably made more change in body composition than how I tipped the scale that week. The energy levels were crazy. I still struggle to wrap my head around how 'no food equals more energy'. I can say all the scientific words I learned getting my Batchelor's by Google and my Master's by You Tube but the first fifty years I was dispositioned that food equaled energy and had to be a part of that equation. This has been a pleasant surprise. I feel like it has given my immune system a boost, maybe even say making carnivore all the more effective. I wish I could do blood tests the day before and the day after each fast and then lay those numbers over top of one another. Fasting is not like the magic pill, no more so than carnivore, but the two of them together, with the gym tossed in the mix, has improved my health by leaps and bounds in the last 14 months. The most recent one did surprise me because of the drop in weight which goes unexplained as the fasts have all been pretty similar. I went six days and it was so much easier than "six days' sounds. I have seen the time when six hours without eating would have bene a real challenge. it is most definitely worth a try. Scott

Congratulations. Nothing tastes as good as how I feel.

Tell him when he goes hunting that you will fast until he brings home the meat to provide for his tribe. Primal baybeee!

Not carnivore exactly but plants can be used as a medicine. Always better to go natural than artificial.

It can be. I use fat, meat salt and water as my daily prescriptions. Only 14 months deep but it has been working for me. Best of luck going forward. Scott

Independence Day 2025. Eliminated statin tonight after years of being on one. Freedom...hope so 📿

Yes, I did tell him that I heard long term use might contribute to dementia. I think he basically ignored what I said.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Since Natto is plant-based, is it ok for Carnivore? Do you take it as a supplement? What brand do you take?

Grilled 4.59 lbs of chicken leg quarters. Ate all but one. Had a cup of almost decaf. What I mean by almost. I buy cheap decaf and add a teeny amount of Folgers reg. Sometimes I have decaf, sometimes I have almost decaf. Just enough caf to keep the caffeine monsters at bay. .... Then sometimes I grind some beans and get the full effect.

Happy Birthday to our great nation. Much respect and much appreciation for those who ensured the birthdays of the past, the present and the future. Scott

Want to wish & GOD BLESS all of you on this fantastic day.

Still eating 6 eggs, 1lb of minced brisket and 50 g of natto daily (OMAD)

I have only gone about 32-6 hours. It's like being on happy pills. I would love to do some more but my husband insists I eat dinner. I will have to give it a try when he is busy with hunting.

It would be nice if the inflammation in my neck would go away after stopping the statin. So far, the diet hasn't eliminated it completely.

My son cooked chicken thighs on the smoker last night. He puts them in a pan with a little of his homemade sauce and then cuts up a couple sticks of butter. Once done, he pulled the chicken from the bones and made a pulled chicken BBQ dish. I ate that for breakfast this morning at work. It actually looked better than the rib eyes I made last night for lunch today. Go figure. Scott

Congrats on fighting the good fight. Scott

I did one set of blood tests after starting carnivore. I fell off the wagon on Memorial Day and I'm making my way back. Anyway, after about 6/7 weeks of carnivore my small lipid particles -which is the most important metric to examine for cardiovascular risk- were Low. The overall number doesn't matter. I don't trust any physician as a professional if they push statins (except in cases where the small particles are very high) now that we know the horrible side effects of those drugs. I think there's not much worse than excessive pain trying to move and dementia.

Thanks Geoff, good food for thought. Meds to potentially quit (in order, according to my current thinking): Statin Beta blocker Blood thinner Anti-arrhythmic Then substitute with natural alternatives if helpful.

Today I made biscuits for strawberry shortcake. I assembled the strawberry shortcake for my son. I didn't eat any biscuits despite their relentless efforts to trick me into putting them in my mouth.

I think my husband calls honey "bee vomit." Also when I say something is natural he says "botulism is 'natural'"
