That's totally fine then, hopefully by the time you finish the sugar diet someone will have popularized a keto candy diet. I do know the filipinos pour sugar on their spaghetti and they love it. Anyway wherever your diets takes you I hope you do well.

It’s a weight loss strategy and not a forever diet. Vegans and fruitarians are the examples of individuals who have turned it into a way of eating for a lifetime. I’m not aware of anyone talking about sugar dieting and sugar fasting who is recommending it for a lifetime. I think most of the talking heads would tell you meat is essential for optimal human health. It’s simply different from carnivore. I believe the people with most success on carnivore and keto diets are those who suffer with autoimmune diseases, extreme food intolerance, and sugar addiction. I’m being redundant here but I thinks it’s necessary, sugar diet/fasting is a weight loss strategy. It’s not meant to be a forever diet. So many people who are carnivore are on health journeys for a variety of reasons, but mainly because other interventions have failed.

Great video and something that people who are attempting a protein restricted diet should be made aware of.

Sounds like big candy to me. I'm hitching my wagon to "if you can't do it for a lifetime, don't do it for a day"

This is good advice. I understand why the Carnivore-friendly doctors hold up the CAC test, because statistically speaking, when the CAC is zero there is usually little to no plaque to be concerned about. But as you said this isn't always the case all of the time. The CAC is cheap and non-invasive. In fact, around where I live you can get them for free without insurance or a prescription.

I hope you are doing well. I'm glad you recognized the signs and took action. Do remember that it takes years upon years for circumstances to build up to this event. Your carnivore diet shouldn't get the blame for this. There are a variety of factors involved. Are you familiar with Mitch, "Old Guy Carnivore" on YouTube? He also had a heart attack a little over a month ago. He explains what caused it, and continues to eat carnivore and champion the lifestyle.

The mainstream narrative continues to be "The Body prefers CARBS" and "FAT is bad for you". I don't see this changing anytime soon. Nestle, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Kraft Heinz, Mondelez, Kelloggs, Post, and General Mills have the financial interest and advertising dollars to push this message in your face non-stop. Calling it an "Extreme diet" is basically slander and lies. Seriously! So, when did eating only what God/Nature provided for us to eat become an "extreme diet"? Lol. What? There are people who will only eat a whole foods diet consisting of meat, nuts, berries, and some select fruits and vegetables? Them NUTTERS and their EXTREME diets! But.... but..... what about GRaiNs and SeeD oILs?

I’m experimenting with the sugar diet and sugar fasting after coming off 9 months of ketovore followed by two months of the SAD diet where I gained back 10 pounds from what I lost while keto. There are a number of small unheard of channels of normal people experiencing huge success with sugar diet. Latchkey Gen Xer, Skeleton city, Sweet Truck’n, and more. These aren’t athletes and they aren’t health and fitness influencers. They certainly aren’t hammering their bodies with high amounts of exercise. In my opinion, the most important thing to remember with the sugar diet is that it’s a weight loss diet. It’s not meant to cure autoimmune disease. It’s not meant to be an elimination diet in the same sense as carnivore. It’s helping people shed body fat at higher rates. The idea isn’t to become a vegan. No one is promoting that. Sugar fasting (no protein and no fat other than what’s in fruit) is designed for expedited drops in body weight. Sugar diet (fruit in the morning with lean protein in the evening) is meant for slowed and more controlled weight loss. Then people have the freedom to eat what they like when they reach goal body weight. If the scale creeps up they can fall back on sugar fasting or dieting to lose what they gained. TLDR: sugar dieting and fasting is a weight loss strategy, not a cure to chronic autoimmune disorders or food intolerance.

I am overseas right now and tried two very little air fried crickets and at first they reminded me of eating wheat right out of the husk. AND then the after taste, they suck. I'm out.

I did the same thing last week. Turned out nice. Next time I'm pounding it with much more smoke!

Followed up on an idea from geezy. I put roast on the smoker this morning. When it was within an hour or so from being ready I dropped it in the crock pot for a couple three hours on low. Turned out really nice. Scott

3/4 lb of 70/30 fried up in a good load of ghee Cheddar cheese on top plus all the pan drippin's L-rueteri yogurt with instant coffee blended in With a meal like this I feel like a king 🫅🤣

Cars & Carnivores Street Festival - Rotary Club of Wake Forest This event is this weekend about forty minutes from here. Going to drag out my 72K5 and check out the cars and the meat vendors. Should be a pretty good time. Scott

Back to work, back to the 8 eggs and probably 2/3lb bacon for the week. Woke up to rain so I have to cook inside 😩

This past week I had about 80 hours of night shift in 6 days. Five of them with hardly anything to do and only had one productive night, which was the last, thus missing most of Monday night's 'discussion'. I probably watched videos and then read referenced studies (chunks of them) when they were available. It was 'personally educational'. I work in an industry where 'root cause failure analysis' and identifying the 'single point of failure' are a must and is a really big part of the job. I'm the guy on the production end that has to land with laboratory guidelines and then proof it from the production floor. Babbling, but the most important thing in our lab is the 'control standards' which is the material our samples are tested against for purity, performance and sustainability. As I was reading a lot of these studies and watching the videos I could only help to compare the 'control subjects' of the studies to our 'standards' we use for testing. Our 'standards' are created the same each time with an exact specification which makes me think of the variabilities of the control subjects even in the most sophisticated/complex scientific studies. On this thread, take me, Bob and Meathead. I am guessing we are all white males, between 40 and 60, with a wife and a job. If I went back thru all the threads and read the posts on this forum, as well as the couple three video chats I watched/participated, and if this were a scientific study.....the carnivore diet is 100% effective for all white males between 40 and 60. We all know that is not true, but at the same time that is what the data suggests/implies/indicates. (Geezy, you have one or two more birthdays than the criteria of this study, maybe next time, LOL) All three of us took a much different path to get to 40-60 and that path factors. As I read a lot of these studies I see so much variability. I guess that is why I can get 'overly' interested in everyone's person journey. I believe in the science, I believe in the data. I just think a lot of it can easily be manipulated to say something different. I don't see the sugar diet as being effective for me when I was 325lbs, already eating a dumpster diet, with turning wrenches, dragging hoses and pumps and walking samples to the lab was my only means of exercise. I could have turned 325 into 350 in pretty much no time. I watched several of the sugar diet videos and I did not see one person north of 300 pounds nor did I see any of the transformations from 300lbs to 200lbs. Maybe they are out there, and maybe I will see one. I'm strict carnivore and although my version it good for me, I have found that going strict red meat only is actually better for me as an individual. There is no way I could look across the aisle and say, "Hey, Geezy, red meat/nothing else is the only way". Would he see some benefits? Maybe, maybe not. Could our shared experiences help us (and others) learn? Absolutely. @Miranda has mentioned fasting, I am a big fan for me, and I think it will help with her. Do I know that enough to push the agenda? Nope, not in the least. Again, babbling on, after a 72 hour week long, self-induced education. LOL Hope everyone has a good week. Scott
