Gabe Skinner

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.
 

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 🙏 

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

We're sharing our northern experience with you folks, which I am sure is appreciated. You're welcome. 

We're sharing the love, lol.
The last couple years were mild. But January 2025 has been brutal to us so far up here in Ohio, and we're only 10 days in.

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. 

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

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. 

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. 

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 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

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.

This is my current canine companion, Willow....
 

For those who still have their grandma alive, you're definitely going to attest to this one very well. We always love visiting our grandma because of this one act 😂.

Welcome.
I agree with Bob. Ease into it and make the changes gradually. That should help avoid some of the issues a lot of people have when they first start.
Best of luck.

Welcome to the forum. 

I hear you on doctors. They do not have the will, or time to listen to you anymore. It took them 17 years to figure out what was wrong with me. And when they figured it out, they had a list of pills to take for me, and send me on my way home. 

Of course I did not do that, because by that time, I already knew I was on my own. I was already searching for alternatives. Tried low starch diet, no dairy, gluten free, etc. I had mixed results, but more than the doctors ever gave me. I was not interested in pills that would mask the symptom, or the pain. When you stop listening to your body, it will eventually stop on you, so to speak. 

When they did finally figure it all out, they also told me I was doomed and fated to take medicine for life. That did not sound much like a fix to me. Until 15 years later when I bumped into the carnivore diet. A year in now, and the benefits are tremendous. 80% of my problems gone, pain free as we speak. 30 years of chronic pain, at some point walking with a cane. Carnivore is not the be all end all mind you, there will be other aspects of life that need sorted (working out, walking, etc.), but as my very last resort, it gave me my life back. I am still looking back stunned and amazed.
