I used to love the burgers. Until they shrunk them down to basically a dinner roll . With a bit of filling. Even the quarter pounder is a midget serve. You go home looking for something else to fill up on.

G'day from the Southern Hemisphere. Looks pretty cold 🥶. We get a few too many hot days. Thinking of y'all

To live without any sort of pain would be awesome I'm so happy for you. 80 percent. That's inspiring. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for the Welcome Bob Time has flown by aye at the end of the month I have to get my Blood test done and then early Feb. I have an appointment with my Renal doctor. Last year has been quite a mess. The end of 2023. I had a kidney biopsy done that went wrong. It burst internally. I almost didn't make it. My blood count went down to 30. So I was in hospital for a week and 1/2. Around the same time my mum had a triple heart bypass. And then around To last Feb/March my Dad had a major Stroke. So I have had to put of many appointments. Including the diabetes clinic. I stopped going because they weren't hearing my concerns. One rep. Got really really in my face about a matter I keep trying to manage my weight etc. Not to mention peri menopause. Dealing with that for the 16 years. I'm at a loss whom I can trust with Drs I've been on a merry go round for 16 years. My own GP won't listen. So now I'm on a hunt for a new one.

Great video Bob. Very eye opening. I had never heard of Triglycerides. Till last year. All my combination of medications lead to that.

Love lasagna and all those yummy dishes you mentioned. Takes a lot of will power to resist.

I use an app called Milk run. It's run via Woolworths I get the $10 back and boosted savings. Just recently through the Holidays. I scored a $30 voucher got a free ham with it. I can get any pretty much. All your meats etc. Cooked chicken delivered with in the our Lately I have been buying marinated lamb. Chuck in the pan or grill and have with taboli and salad etc. For me it's handy. No crowd hassle

I just watched the video. I've never heard of the casomorphine. Extremely interesting I took a few screenshots of the lists. So far I'm enjoying this forum. I've learned a few new things.

I used to love chocolate. Now I love cheese even more. Guess that's the French side in me. I have at least 4 different types around. We have an Italian fruit market not far. So much choice from all countries.

I love chicken salt. Do you guys get it? I like to use the pink Himalayan salt As well as regular salt. I use it all sparingly due to fluid retention and high blood pressure. I use a lot of other spices more

I love a roast pork or beef or chicken. I can't handle anything offal or kidney. Guess I used to have it quite often as a kid. Mum would make steak and kidney. No matter how much gravy or tomato ketchup. Couldn't hide the flavor These days my son does a mean BBQ. My uncle makes a mean BBQ using the coals. I want to learn that way of doing that. I was introduced to Biltong. Yummy. I eat mostly tuna or baked Salmon.

My favorite way of doing eggs is Popeyes When I am in the mood. For bread. You make a whole in the slice. And crack the egg. Put in middle. Fry it. Turn it over . Or leave it till it's Sunny side up. Most the time it's either poached or light fry with olive oil. With smashed avocado and tomato. At the moment we have an egg shortage and cream none in the supermarket.

G'day I'm Gabe 🌺 I'm a full time mum. Wife. Love family and fun stuff. I love traveling so far around Australia. Every couple of years we do a road trip to the Outback. So my story. I grew up being active outdoors fishing. Boating. Swimming anything beach. For the last 20 years life has been major challenging. 4 babies. Lost my first. 2 inguinal hernias. Last baby due to the Trainee Drs. Epidural went wrong. As well as having the factory shut. That lead to other complications ongoing. So a long time on pain meds. Etc. Trying to get the Drs to help me with this issue. Then I finally find a good Dr. They move on. Those issues haven't been sorted out. I have high blood pressure. And during COVID I got diagnosed with kidney issues too much protein in my kidneys. I have been put on many tablets. It lead me to a few spells in hospital and last year a fractured foot. I have been told to take ozempic I started on it. Lost some weight. Then because of not being available in Australia number of times. I put the weight on. Then I have been taking medication for diabetes. I spend most of the time on the couch. It's physically challenging. The Drs are no help. Don't listen. The insulin makes me really sick as well as the ozempic. Makes me really sick I've asked the Drs for advice. If I should eat less meat to help reduce the protein. I've tried vegetarian diets. The medication instead of suppressing my appetite. Increased it I had gestational diabetes during pregnancy. I was put on diet to limit the sugars from different foods and carbs. Last year I was told different to eat more bread and carbs. The diabetes representative told me I was like the 100th person to end up on insulin because of the ozempic. I've been on Cyclosporine. Neoral. Which lead to my sugars rising big time. And couldn't go in the sun. It lead to other complications. Sorry for my long post. I'm interested in the Carnivore diet. And the benefits. I gladly welcome all advice 🙏
