Returning to Carnivore
Returning to Carnivore
Mary and 5 others reacted to KatieKaboom for a post in a topic
6 pointsHello, I'm Kate and I'm returning to the carnivore diet for the 4th time. This time I'm hoping for a support community that can help keep me motivated and on track. I have been diagnosed with Axial Spondyloarthritis, an autoimmune/autoinflammatory disease, that has many effects on my body that I want to stop from progressing. When I go full carnivore my symptoms resolve and I have no signs of disease activity. It's a wonder I keep going on and off carnivore right? Well sugar addiction is real and lack of support doesn't help. Hopefully I can change that this time and stick to carnivore and stay healthy for life. Nice to meet everyone in advance and hope to connect with as many of you as I can.6 points -

5 pointsI 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.5 points -

This carnivore had a heart attack today
My cardiologist took me off of Metropolol after three months on carnivore and took my off of Flecinide after one year as a carnivore. He has never once mentioned a statin to me. It’s my PCP that keeps trying to push the worthless statins on me because my total cholesterol is in the 300’s. But he is ignorant and is only push statins because the lawyers tell him he has to. It has nothing to do with better health. It’s all about covering their butts and lining the pockets of pharmaceutical executives. My cardiologist loves what I’m doing with my carnivore diet because he’s seen that it’s reversed my heart condition. In fact he now only wants to see me once a year to give me a checkup.5 points

Carnivores are lying!!
Carnivores are lying!!
Geezy and 3 others reacted to Scott F. for a post in a topic
4 pointsEnjoyed the conversation last night. I forgot the cord for the laptop, and it dropped from 30% to zero unexpectedly. Apologies for the abrupt exit. I thought about 'carnivores lying' for a stretch last night afterwards. Did they mean carnivores are lying in general about the positives of carnivore? Did they mean the individual carnivores are lying about their personal health? Good conversation on the topic. Like said from the beginning, going into carnivore I had no idea of the health benefits other than from the weight loss. On the day I started carnivore was nothing more than another weight loss hack, the latest in the yo-yo dieting approach. I was going to drop 15-20 pounds (if it actually worked) and then go back to eating like normal people. I had already lost 10-12 pounds before I watched my first video or read my first article about carnivore. The weight came off so fast (averaged about a pound per day the first thirty days) when I was asked if I thought it was healthy to just eat meat and drink water I pretty much said, " I don't know, but the weight is falling off so I'm going to roll with it for now". I started reading and watching videos and one of the first videos that popped up was by Cabana Chronicles and her using carnivore for her MS. My autoimmune disease is really similar and that triggered me to watch a ton of videos that evening. Over the next few days I was in constant research mode. I never used the term lying but I was skeptical, even a nay-sayer, about the results people were sharing. As soon as I would start seeing the light (LOL) they would ask me to subscribe, or hit the LIKE button, or buy this product, and that became the catch/the automatic disconnect. I was on gabapentin/Neurontin and prednisone for pain and inflammation and there is no way those can be replaced with a rib eye. As Mrs. Cabana Chronicles talked about not taking medicine I was waiting for the hook, "what is for sale today?". Then it sort of dawned on me that I had come off my long stretch of nights (six 12-13 hours shifts) and I didn't take the medicine for pain and inflammation. I immediately tagged it as a coincidence. The following week I pulled my four shifts and then two more slots of overtime and no medicine during or after the six shifts. Then there was third week and (I'm sort of slow) it started to resonate that there may actually be a connection to carnivore and inflammation. I think my first true lesson in carnivore was that it is not the rib eye nearly as much as it is the elimination of the carbs and sugars. Withing 5-6 weeks of eating strict carnivore (other than the drink mixers to help with drinking water) I was off medicine I had been on for six years. From there I was 'curious' maybe even 'intrigued' by the effects of the elimination diet. I scheduled blood work, both my regular blood work for NMO/SD and my HAZMAT physicals for work. I staggered them to get bloodwork every 3 months or so to check my immunoglobulin numbers. Within three months on carnivore the lower numbers were inching up and the higher numbers were inching down. After 12 months as a strict carnivore my immunoglobulin numbers have returned to what is considered normal. I have one number that is just a few points high but nothing like the previous six years. When the post was made about lying I wonder if it is suggesting I am one of the people lying about my individual successes. I am no longer taking medicine for pain nor inflammation. I have lost between 90-95 pounds. My energy levels are not super human but they have returned to levels that I had as a much younger man but coupled with regular fasting (longer fasting 72 to 96 hours) the energy levels are super crazy high. Do people think I only lost 75 pounds and exaggerated my claims so it sounds better? Do I secretly take medicine and just claim I do not? I get it. I was that guy too. I was skeptical/didn't believe from the very beginning. Carnivore was just another weight loss hack, nothing more/nothing less. It was the same as any other hack that used large weight loss as click bait to get me to buy something. I would never use the term 'lying' but I can see where I came from that same sentiment for a stretch. If you look at each of our stories, how far we have come, I won't say we have all experienced miracles, but I will say for me, I've headed down that path. Sometimes, stories like these are hard to believe. babbling, waiting for the gym to open. Great conversation last night. Enjoyed it. Scott4 points -

Meathead and 3 others reacted to Scott F. for a post in a topic
4 pointsYep. I had some of those same experiences. I don't mind sharing my thoughts and my story when people are willing to listen or thinking about giving carnivore a try. When they balk, or start giving me medical/nutritional advice that it is obvious they are not adhering to themselves it becomes a quick disconnect. From there, I just move on. I have a guy that works with me that is a Type II diabetic with glucose numbers that are high enough for hospitalization at times. The food he bring is crazy in both type and amounts. He is eating three or four times in a 12 hour shift because his doctor has told him that smaller more frequent meals would be his best practice. I explained I understand this is youtube, but check out these videos and when they reference medical studies follow up with research of your own. He said his glucose had been as high as 300 the week before and then asked about mine. I told him mostly it is in the 70's but every now and then it gets into the 80's, especially coming off a fast. His words nor his sentences called me a liar, but his grunt, rolling of the eyes and the , "yeah, right" all but did. Great conversational topic. I think all of us have experienced this is some shape, form or fashion. It is like a brick is falling out of the sky and I say, stand over here with me under this shelter, and they say, "Nope, my doctor says standing in the sunshine is better for me". I guess sometimes people can't see the forest for all the trees in the way. LOL. Scott4 points -

This carnivore had a heart attack today
@Meathead Yep. me the same. Like I knew the 'rules' but they didn't apply to me. I started off every day for years and years with two bacon, egg and cheese on white bread with two Little Debbie oatmeal cakes with a 20oz. Mountain Dew. Then multiple Mountain Dews throughout the day and then enough beer and liquor to float a boat. Just before I got out of the service I was 195-205 and could run just about around the world (or that is how I felt). Within two years I ate and drank myself into the 250's and within 8-10 years I was well over 300. I think maybe it is worse when you know better but choose not to do better. LOL Scott4 points

This carnivore had a heart attack today
And that’s what drives me nuts about doctors and influencers who treat us as though we are all the same. Even in our carnivore community’s people act like we are all the same and then a newcomer comes along and gets discouraged because what he was told to do didn’t work for him and so he quits. A good example is the influence that Paul Saladino has with is fruit diet. What works for him will not work for most people like us but he promotes it for everyone. Then they wonder why carnivore isn’t working when they eat 300 grams of fruits and honey.4 points

Carnivore fasting can be unpredictable
Carnivore fasting can be unpredictable
Miranda and 3 others reacted to Scott F. for a post in a topic
4 pointsIf I haven't learned anything else in my 13 months, I have most definitely learned nothing is carved in stone with this way of eating. It is as individualistic as anything I have ever experienced and within the individual things can change from day to day. I'm about 96 hours deep into my latest fast. I'm not all that concerned with the weight loss/weight loss potential. My fasting is all about healing and reversing my autoimmune disease now. My first attempts at fasting and the actual fasts I was really looking for the weight loss. I didn't experience near the weight loss I had imagined with not eating for 72-96 hours. I ate Wednesday night at about 8PM and weighed 223lbs that morning. I hit the gym pretty hard Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. I went heavier on the cardio Friday morning and ramped up the weight and volume on the next two mornings. I'm on 12-hour night shifts since Wednesday. When I woke up this afternoon, I hit the scale at 213. I dropped ten pounds since Wednesday morning. Energy levels are high. I have not been hungry. This time I have not checked my blood sugar nor the blood ketones. I probably will in the morning. Each fast has been different in regard to weight loss. I feel like the activity level and gym work has been close to the same. I'm at 10lbs with another day to go. (maybe 2) At 13 months I'm still learning and still don't feel comfortable giving out advice or, 'this is what someone needs to do', but fasting is a really powerful tool. I think coupled with carnivore is like the bonus plan. The first few hours the body does not have a ton of crap to work thru and getting to fat/ketones probably happens a little quicker and maybe even a tad deeper into ketosis. I'm still amazed (maybe even dumbfounded) by the energy levels while not eating. I'm sure there is a point of diminishing returns but right now at 96 hours I am still fully energetic. I have not decided how far I plan to go. I may stop at 6 days or maybe stretch it to 7. All depends on how the next two-night shifts go. Scott4 points -

Among many other side effects. None of which are worth the very minimal effects of the statin. The extra 2-5 days of life that a statin may give you is not worth any of the side effects.4 points

Insulin
When people say carnivore/think carnivore it is always meat first. That can give the allusion that it is a high protein diet when it truth it is higher fats/moderate protein. I would think those studies are probably spot on when the protein content is high/really high. Your body only needs X amount fo sugar but it will make and store XX amounts if it is fed that way. If high protein leads to a regular state of gluconeogenesis I can see where sugars would be higher followed by higher need for insulin and in time becoming insulin resistant. Attaching a high protein diet to the carnivore community can be a tad bit misleading. Scott4 points

How to lower my cholesterol
4 pointsLet’s just start out saying that those are complete lies and false studies. The Framingham study was debunked and proven long ago to be fabricated. There has never been and there never will be an RCT that PROVES that cholesterol causes CVD. The first attack identified by autopsy was in 1912, prior to hat there was little to no evidence of heart disease in America. It wasn’t until the introduction of processed foods and seed oils into our diet that started to move to the forefront of human mortality. There is no causal relationship between heart disease and saturated fats or cholesterol. Any research claiming otherwise is simply pseudoscience. Atherosclerosis is the underpinning disfunction behind most heart disease. Atherosclerotic lesioning of the endothelia cells of the vascular tree is caused by several factors. One is chronic hypertension or high blood pressure. Another is chronic inflammation of the endothelia cells beds. The third one is physical injury to those cell beds. Compare this to what it takes to create fire. You need three things, a fuel source, oxygen and heat. Remove any one of those three things and the fire cannot survive. The same can be said of atherosclerosis. You need damage to the endothelia cells, inflammation and high blood pressure. Remove any one of these and you will not have atherosclerosis. The high blood pressure seems to be the most underpinning cause of the other two. There is a misconception that hypertension is caused by too much salt but in reality it’s the inability to excrete salt that causes hypertension. Sure, the excess salt is causing it but any normal healthy person with normally functioning kidneys will excrete excess salt so if you have excess salt in your blood causing hypertension then it’s not the salt that’s the issue but instead the fact that you can’t excrete salt normally. The usual cause of the inability to excrete salt normally is hyperinsulinemia. The cause of hyperinsulinemia is eating too many carbohydrates on a daily basis. So if you want to sort out the hypotension in your life stop eating carbs. Without sufficient cholesterol you will die. All of the cells in your body are made up of cholesterol therefore cholesterol is vital for proper human function. 80% of the cholesterol in your body is made by the body so you don’t need to eat it to have it. Bart Kay Cholesterol is an essential component of the wall of every cell in our body. It makes up a surprisingly high percentage of the fat in our brain, and our brains contain a lot of fat. Cholesterol forms part of the myelin sheaths of our nerves and is essential for properly transmitting brain and nerve impulses. Cholesterol is the precursor of Vitamin D and the sex hormones testosterone and progesterone. It helps fight off bacterial infections, as well as playing other roles in the immune system. It helps heal arterial damage by participating in plaque formation. So cholesterol is nothing to be afraid of. Given that there is no evidence to show that cholesterol causes cardiovascular disease, and there is plenty of evidence to show that low cholesterol damages the body in many ways, I vote for not worrying about it. As long as your ratio of triglycerides to HDL is low enough, your cardiovascular risk is minimal. It’s worth noting that the body regulates how much cholesterol is in the blood and that cholesterol is ultimately an essential and healthy compound. It acts as a building block for vitamin D, and numerous hormones. It is an essential part of bile salt–the substance that your body uses to digest and absorb essential fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and vitamin K2. [10] Not only is cholesterol critical for numerous bodily functions, but many modern studies have also linked high cholesterol with lower risk for specific and all-cause mortality and lower cholesterol with increased risk for all-cause mortality. The reason the medical profession worries so much about your LDL level is that studies have shown a a very strong correlation between lowering your cholesterol by taking a statin and the annual pay bonuses of pharmaceutical company executives.

New to Carnivore
4 pointsAfter 4 years of carnivore I now enjoy meat more than ever. I've got some thawing out right now for today's OMAD. Also keep in mind food is not a reward or a treat or something special. It is nutrition that you need to survive and get/remain healthy. Fuel your body with what it is supposed to be fueled with and you will do well in your life. human history shows us what we have eaten for millions of years and that is what we should still be eating today. Fatty meat and eggs is all you really need. NO fruits or veggies are required! I do SO MUCH better with NO fruit or veg. I also have noticed that I have seen some of my biggest "healthy body feelings" in the last year or so, So it's taken me about 3 years of a PHD (proper human diet) to clear out the bad and start to replace it with better. now at 4 years I'm more excited than ever about this WOE just to see what the future brings for myself.

3 pointsHi Kate! Good to see your commitment to seeking better health. I identify with suffering from sugar addition in whatever form it took and never understood the need for corks in a wine bottle or bag clips on chip bags.

So when I weigh the benefits against loss of my new eating plan, I find the benefits far outweigh any extremely temporary satisfaction of going off my meal plan.3 points

Returning to Carnivore
3 pointsWelcome and good luck for your future health. One piece of advice i would offer is to clean all the crap foods out of your kitchen cupboards and fridge. Just throw the bad stuff away. DON'T "finish it up" or "Give to someone else" - just toss it out and don't look back. If it ain't in the house, then you can't eat it. This plan worked great for my wife and I. Carny for 4 years and my MS has been symptom free now for a year or more. I have stopped the Copaxone that i was injecting. I do not use any other meds, even aspirin or tylenol. I also have ankylosing spondylitis which seems a little better on carny. Hoping to improve that next now that the MS seems to be in remission. 5 years ago I had bladder cancer also (the list goes on and on 🤣) and i am now 5 years cancer free, and I thank the carnivore for helping that stay away.

I noticed I was getting ready to pass out when I started seeing dark circles forming in my eyes and everything was starting to close in on me while I was taking a shower. I laid down and took my BP. Seeing how low I had gotten I realized what my mistake was. So I put on the tightest boot socks I’ve got that are like compression socks and then I started drinking plenty of salted water. It brought my BP up within a half hour and by evening I was up to 106/70. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk3 points

I am no longer addicted to anything and am in complete control of my body now. You can do the same. Try to remember, “Nothing tastes as good as how I feel”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk3 points

3 pointsThe part about the phones is spot on and it is just not the younger generation anymore. It has spread across pretty much every section of society. I just had a meeting with my shift at work and basically said when I see you with a phone in the plant I'm clocking you out. I have a 62 year old man who worked his way out of the cold mines of West Virginia absolutely hooked on some 'cartoon combat' game that absolutely consumes him. Just like the food industry, the gaming industry spends millions to make sure this happens. The people working the registers at the grocery store (the ones that are not self-checkout) or the convenience store will answer their phone, or worse, finish their conversation/text back before doing their job. The ability to control the masses comes in all shapes, sizes and forms. It is not just Big Pharma or Big Food or Big Tobacco. Their play book can be used by just about any group to control the almighty dollar. Look at how brilliant the strategy was surrounding the food pyramid and the fact grains and seed oils 'are the healthy alternative'. Even to the point there was counter-intelligence work. Big Chicken ensured us pork was the biggest cause of high blood pressure so much so Big Pork had to market themselves as 'the other white meat'. Red meat causes cancer and saturated fats, mostly from red meat, is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease. The Big machines work very well. In our carnivore community Harvard found tons of positives just a handful of years ago. At the time it was the latest and greatest, even considered groundbreaking. Their study put billions upon billions of dollars at risk and just this past year that same institution did an about face. Scott3 points -
