Tallow
It’s tallow making time again. Picked up 5 pounds of Wagyu fat for tallow. Cutting it up into bite sized pieces. I noticed that this fat has a different texture that the beef fat I normally use. It’s crumbly. In the pot with about a 1/4 cup of water to keep it from sticking initially. The water will cook off. Coming along nicely. Keeping the temp low between 200° and 250°. It’s a slow process so gotta stir it ever half hour or so. Further updates coming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Carnivore and Weight Loss
You need to do what works best for you but the whole foundation of carnivore is high fat and moderate protein. If you don’t eat the fat you will have no energy. We only get energy from two sources, glucose or ketones. If you have no carbs in your system then your only energy source will be ketones and we get those from fat. On top of that, eating too much protein can cause us to go into Gluconeogenesis and our body will start producing glucose from the protein. The common eating strategy in carnivore is to eat until comfortably stuffed or until the food just doesn’t taste good anymore. It’s the fat that turns on the leptin hormone that tells us we are full glucose blocks the leptin hormone so we stay hungry. That’s something that was debunked long ago. It’s a myth. We lose weight because our body no longer uses glucose for fuel. Glucose raises insulin and insulin is the fat storage hormone so as the insulin goes up you are incapable of burning fat. You eat carbs, that raises insulin, you’re going to store fat. Your insulin must come down before your body can access your fat stores. What unlocks those fat stores is your body needing to run on ketones. Ask Bob about sitting in a chair for a long time with a broken ankle and still losing weight. Then there’s me. I’m not very active, especially during the winter but I lose weight simply by eating plenty of fat and protein. I dropped 63 pounds and did nothing different except how I ate. Everything else you listed sounds good to me but just be careful of those I commented on. They go against conventional carnivore science. Of course everyone is different with different physiology’s so maybe that may be the best path for you. We all have our own journey to follow. There are no set rules to eating a carnivore lifestyle because of everyone’s differences. We do however have a foundation that we start with and then build our WOE from there. That foundation is to eat a diet of 70% fat (in caloric measures) and 30% protein. Eat only animal fats. Animal proteins, salt and water. Eat only when hungry and then eat until comfortably full or until the meat no longer tastes good. A good book to read that explains it well is The Carnivore Diet by Dr. Shawn Baker. I hope you find the path that works best for you.
