Looks good! Our moose hunt is dependent on the dogs. We have an area where we think moose are, based on observation and tracking all year round. Moose have their standard routes,too. So we let a dog in the area, area is already surrounded by hunters standing quietly in their posts.The dog finds a moose and starts barking at it from a reasonable distance, hopefully, to not scare the moose right away... After a while, A Dog guide can try to sneak closer while the moose is "hypnotized" by the dog. Sometimes guide manages to shoot the moose, more often the moose bolts away and one of the surrounding hunters can try to shoot it. I had two Grey Norwegian moose dogs. The first one was too hot,moose did not stay. The second one was too shy... I did much better with german shepherds, obedience is the key with them. They tracked me many a deer in the dark,too. We are allowed to hunt very late in the dark, finding the dead deer can be tough. --------------- To Nemo, I did not understand why minced meat by itself would be bad either. But the vet who told me about it was from Eastern Europe with horrible minced meat experiences there, she said "there can be anything" and that means chemicals,too. Who knows. Maybe the bad practises,whatever they are,are universal now? Anyways, my dog reacted very very strongly,that´s all I know. I was given a very expensive,imported good breed competition grade, basics trained german shepherd for free! All because of wrong nutrition. >Minced meat continued to be wrong.... I do not know why,all I know is what happened. Reindeer is tasty but extremely lean.

This sounds like my kind of drink. I was in our hunting club´s moose group for 15 years. Most of that time as a dog guide. We dog guides had a priority for bones,dogs are so important in our way of hunting. I always got plenty... but I made broth out of most of them. Sorry dogs! Cut and grilled them bones a bit first, then cook in pressure cooker for a loooong time... to get sticky extract that I put in ice cube bags and froze for practical use later on. Dogs got some moose bones -and heads -but perfectly good bones for dogs can be bought. I wanted moose broth. Just remembered,we have a meeting tomorrow. I might be back in moose business if ketovore keeps healing me the way it is doing now. It´s a group hunt, pretty physical in cold weather and I don´t want to be the squeaky wheel.

This may not be the right thread but it came to my mind: I once adopted a two year old german shepherd that did not become a good competition dog because of allergies. Everything was difficult. The owner family had three "better" shepherds. She was my third GS and sixth own dog. First thing I did , we went strict BARF. No industrial dog food of any kind. Huge success, skin and rash eased up remarkably. I then dropped pork and things got even better. But still cortisone... Then a vet from Eastern Europe heard that I´m giving minced meat. She said "dogs often react to minced meats , there can be anything mixed in". None of my earlier dogs had had probs but I decided to try. So no more mince, full meats instead and VOILA`, no more yeast,rash,anything at all! That dog became completely allergy free and we had many wonderful years together. Super obedient and we had this mind connection that only dog owners know about. I swear she read my thoughts and wanted to obey and act right. Oh man I´m getting emotional,typing this. Anyway,my point is: That experience taught me that all meats are not even close to equal when you´re sensitive enough. I could not take a dog after that one, I decided to stop while on top. She was perfect.

Real men don´t need gallbladders ! I have not missed mine the slightest. I will never forget the most entertaining GB attack, I was at a remote shooting range,alone. It was our Independence Day, Dec 6th 2022 and -30 Celsius weather. Lots of snow. I was looking at some wood grouses in trees at shooting distance, wondering how they can know about the pain I´m having, unable to do almost anything but sit. They knew they were safe even at a shooting range. Big beautiful birds. I managed to drive myself to doc somehow. Our health care place was still open even in holidays and weekends,not so any more.

This simple improvisation turned out real good. I had some minced beef, 17% fat. I remembered we have dried Funnel Chanterelles. So I took some chicken/beef broth, put chanterelles to boil in broth while I fried the beef with one little onion in bacon grease. Added the fried things to boil for another 15 min, done. A tiny amount of fresh garlic just before serving made this very very tasty. Like "caveman meets french kitchen" -tasty.

I just saw this:
-
This is my first pan. I bought this with my pocket money when I was ten years old in 1973. My grandmother used to fry eggs like this and I liked them so much, I had to get the same pan for me at home. Pan was wrapped in brown greasy paper in the store,I still remember the moment when I saw it.

I used to have a Finnish Hound and oh boy, he was an eating machine. He finished a whole moose head in a week, including antlers.

If you feel ok with it, fat-coffee in the morning and another in the afternoon can help a lot. Yes it disturbs OMAD and fast a little but you can get butter/coconut oil added nicely. My add-ons are about 10 g each / cup. Today I had cream,too. I have done this lately again while doing OMAD and my blood ketones were whopping 4,1 yesterday afternoon. Glucose was 4.9 mmol/L (90 mg/dL).

A friend commented my Facebook dinner pic the other day: "Any ketosis yet?" He had figured it out. I do not advertise diets or talk medical there but I do post food pics. He is a smart guy, a little older than me and I know he has health probs too. So I told him how I´m soon off BP meds altogether, instead of four pills. I also posted graphs of my before/after BP. The wild fluctuations and extreme high peaks completely stopped. His reply: "Oh I´m doing fine with two different BP pills in the morning and two in the evening." What he is effectively saying is, he prefers pills to a healthy diet so he can keep on eating his macaroni and mashed potatoes. I have seen pics. I have nothing more to say.

What?

I´m jealous of your 80/20... it can have 70% fat. Highest fat content in any ground meat here in Finland is 23%. 10% beef is standard. My carni would be totally dairy free to begin with.
-
Yeah I´m in some kind of an analyzing phase now. Tracker app, scale, BP meter, HR monitor... I know what works for my weight loss (high fat ketovore, not OMAD) but I´m still experimenting,too. Want to get rid of all this waist fat that I stupidly gathered in the last few years.
-
So many say "eat till satiated". If I did that with carni / OMAD, I would starve myself. I could go on with 1200 kcal per day for weeks with no hunger and I´m 6.3´/ 220 lbs. I need my calories and fat to lose weight. Long time ago I remember eating 3000-4000 kcal wine (but still keto) dinners and I lost body fat very well. Now 20 years later I´m not really sure,looks like a little "deficit" is okay. Last week I stalled with too much protein but there was cal def. I´m all in for "When in doubt,measure!" with about everything. Now I´m having a gadget phase but I´ve gone without scales and apps for years,too.

My ketovore is drifting very close to carnivore ( three grams carbs per day lately ) but I´m thinking I might better lose some body fat with my tried and true ketovore first. Reasons being, I find it difficult to get enough fat in carni.I need fat, I don´t lose body fat with high protein macros. And eating carnivore OMAD , it is hard to get enough calories because I´m never hungry. I finished my dinner against my will yesterday. Still only 1400 kcal and high protein so I ate 30 grams of butter. Day before I drank half a cup of olive oil for the same reason. More cals and fat. I seem to get full,content,satiated with much too little when in OMAD, especially high protein OMAD. But I like how OMAD feels...

My gallbladder got bothersome and was removed a few years back. I have been on a very low carb/ high fat ketovore for quite a long periods ever since. Just like before. No problems.

I'm a cat man now,after six dogs and two horses. This cat just moved in a few years ago. Vet guessed he had lived in the woods for a year or two. He came to me when I was eating sausage on Sauna porch. He took some sausage when I had gone inside, even looking at him scared him away. It took two weeks to lure him inside the house and he has been happily hunting and eating mice here ever since. Only the guts are left. He sleeps on us now and obviously has a good life, thanks to mice. He has not "destroyed" anything out of frustration because he can hunt. Name "Hippu" would be "Nugget" in english. He comes to me with a whistle like a dog. We never thought of a cat, "no we can't have a cat,where would we put it...? Then Hippu simply moved in and is great company.I think and hope so. I was writing unclearly above , I meant to say "Afib reads generally a higher HR than it is in reality". All that tiny little "flimmer" in between real beats gets registered by modern gadgets. At least in my case. So the real beats number would be much lower. My PolarFlow app went up to 200 BPM in Sauna yesterday,I felt nothing special except a good relaxation. There must be 25-30% extra BPM at least, otherwise my badly functioning, failed heart would protest big time. Three times in 100 Celsius steam, three times up to 200 BPM. Feels great. I´m sure my doctor would disagree. His advice to any exercise question is "lay down,stay down" -type, to make sure nothing happens... Not sure if I mentioned it here but I rejected an open heart surgery two years ago. I´m playing with the cards I have now, I know (and have known) so many people who stopped doing anything after such operations. Walking ghosts taking ten inch steps. Yes they may live longer,so might I but what kind of life...? Sorry. Got a bit deep. My 66 old friend just got widowed an hour ago,cancer took his 56 years old wife. She complained some stomach problems a few weeks ago, there was such a huge tumor in her belly that nothing could be done. No alcohol,very little meat... she never participated in our barbeque. Goodbye Nina.
