The last paragraph is absolutely golden. I have only been on Carnivore for just shy of 11 months. I have some bloodwork that says I am healthier. I have stopped taking some medicines that were needed prior to carnivore. I have lost a bunch of weight with minimal effort. And above all that I know I feel better than I did 11 months ago. Will this current way of eating prolong my life, maybe, maybe not, but from this point to that point I feel like I will feel better than if I had stayed my previous course. I also agree with the validity of some studies which are based on questionnaires and unfounded comments. I think that happens on both sides of any debate. Most of the time the funding plays too big of a role in how a study ends up. We had this very conversation at work last week. I was in the minority with our Engineers and science crowd. A couple threw some analogies on me from their viewpoint so I tossed this one back out there as we talked carnivore vs. non-carnivore. If I tie a brick to your foot and push you in deep water, you will struggle to stay afloat. If I tie a second brick to your foot you will submerge, fight like mad to get some air, submerge and fight your way up for the next breath. Most everything gives to 'time under tension'. If we have problems we put for the effort and a certain amount of effort over a certain amount of time can solve a problem. Time under tension. Works both in a positive light and in a negative light. Time under tension is the key to most everything we do, If that first brick is the dumpster trash diet the bodily is greatly affected, and if that second brick is the amount of time a person ate the trash diet that is time under tension. Then, I hand you an ink pen and you sink to the bottom and drown. Can I say based on my current study if you hold an ink pen while swimming you will drown? A lot of studies will not factor that into studies so either side can be right. One group can say the time under tension caused him to drown and the other group can actually say an ink pen while swimming will indeed cause drowning. And whatever side spends the most money is what the general public is then fed. Funny how science can work sometimes. Scott

Agreed. I like the formatting. It is almost like a message board forum on paper. I think it will also help some people who may struggle with "variety" when trying to go carnivore. It breaks down the 'minimal impact non-carnivore' type foods. Again, a solid way to spend $5. LOL Scott

Im leafing through my copy, and I have to say that it is a well thought out book. Each "chapter" is barely a page long, with information that is to-the-point. I am seeing this as a good reminder for myself, but more so, a great tool to get others on board with this way of eating. Most people (especially malnourished people on a western diet) have minimal attention span, and marginal reasoning capabilities. It is obvious that this book is intentionally written to be as easy to understand as possible, without talking "down" to the reader. I honestly find it brilliant, and do recommend it. Best five bucks I have spent in a while!

You can DEFINITELY eat that in a year. Some days you might eat less, but then again, when you have a barbecue and have people over, a bit more will go. I find it evens itself out in our house. If you arent cutting it up yourself, cut&wrap fees are usually around a dollar a pound (and UP) so that is a big jump to the price at the end. I dont think 7.63/lb is bad at all! Sure can be miserable sometimes scaring up that much free cash all at once to put in the freezer, but I have to think of it like "theres our food for the year" I hardly go to the grocery store anymore.
