"World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!
Dang. I also just found out that my recent new finding,a very nice fatty smoked bacon has GLUCOSE. No lactase nor gluten, they got rid of those - and added straight glucose. Only one gram per 100 g but in my diet that could make me digest three grams of pure glucose per day, while thinking i´m not getting any carbs,not to mention straight sugar. It has 30 g fat / 10 g protein / 100 g,so excellent macros... and then it has to be destroyed with sugar. Wrong! I´ll add a link,please excuse my finnish: https://www.k-ruoka.fi/kauppa/tuote/pirkka-palvikylki-n300g-ylikypsa-2386450400002

"World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!
Sausages can be deceiving,too. In addition to destroying my OMAD, because of Sauna Day, these guys have one gram of carbs each. I don't know why? Nothing would change for worse for anyone if they just cut that last carb out. Must be flour.

This is why you need to be careful of cheese
Perhaps I´m a cheesovore? Got my three carb grams from cheese today.

Overcoming Addiction - My Battle with Carbs! (with Geoff Klein)
Sounds just like my wife. Moderation. And because we have no bread,potatoes,macaroni whatsoever basic carbs in the house, she is eating with me a full fat diet PLUS the occasional cake or ice cream. I can´t do that, neither I want to do that. She just had blood and heart checked, all good. I wrote this already but I start getting subconscious cravings at often suggested (keto) 20 g carbs per day. All too much for me. When you look around the Net you see people struggling, trying to allow for 50 g or so... 50 g is total waste of time AND loss of peace of mind for me and many others. I tried upping my carbs many, many times early on. Always ended down to 5 g or less for the best life quality.

Question about vitamin supplements / effect of the diet on emotions
My point exactly. A long time ago, my friend´s mother explained to me how she had been taking Diapam every day for 30 years and "was not addicted at all."

Dairy free creamy coffee
Dang! I have one of those "Bamix" -wands. My mother bought it in the 70´s and it is still working. I remember that milk froth madness back then...

Finland calling!
Oooooh....such a classic!

Finland calling!
Yep,everything is great. I like to follow my diet with some gadgets so I know where I´m at -and what to adjust if needed. Like ,lately my protein intake has gone higher than usual. Too much low fat meat. My ketones have also dropped. If my scale shows very little weight loss next Sunday, I know it was too much protein and not enough fat. My BP drop has been crazy good.

This is why you need to be careful of cheese
I think I have my cheese under control. I like cheese as a good fat-adder and I mostly eat hard,very low carb cheese from Italy and Swizerland. Manchego,Parmesan and Gruyere here. My lunch today. I'm not hungry atm but I have to slip away from otherwise enjoyable 0MAD, I just cant eat enough when doing 0MAD. A cheese lunch fixes that, plus my fat balance gets better.

Another Deer Down
6.5 in various forms has been getting popular here,too. Good bullets are available from several manufacturers. I don´t have a 6.5 but I reload for 14 calibers, 22-250 to 470 NE. I have also been casting bullets (mostly for larger,slower calibers) since the 90´s.

Sous Vide
I finally dived in this. My first try came out perfectly the way I hoped, a juicy medium-rare one kilo roast beef. And every gram is the same tenderness,all around the roast. After the bath,I quickly seared the roast on a hot cast iron pan in generous amount of bacon grease. Just one more way to cook great meat - I love cast iron pans, dutch ovens, barbeque etc trad cooking...

Did you scare her to death? Looks unharmed. Interestingly, here in Finland a 223 does not kill whitetail. It has to be at least 243. I don´t know why I have not hunted much lately. Just did not feel like it.

Coffee?
- Coffee?
But NOT drinking coffee would be really rebellious,right?- Improved blood pressure.
I see,very good for you! Mine is the continuous type. It was put back electrically to normal a few times years ago but it never stayed normal for long. And those trips to a remote hospital always took a few days for a couple of seconds "zap" so I quit doing that. My Omron meter detects afib. Depending on the day,there are less detected afibs now in keto. Normally it shows afib every time I take readings. I took a graph in Sauna last week. Looks nuts!- LDL cholesterol high
When I got my attack and stent and realised I could have died... a very stressful situation naturally...my cholesterol went sky high. My numbers had been normal before but I was declared hypercholesterolemia nevertheless. Heavy statins. I have a friend working in a big hospital in Stockholm, they know all this in Sweden but here in Finland there is no stress/ cholesterol connection. Look here if interested: https://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/stress-cholesterol-link- Question about vitamin supplements / effect of the diet on emotions
This is one of my favorite topics about very low / no carb diet like carni. I´m around 5 g carbs, ketovore. I greatly enjoy it. I can not even go to 20 g as often instructed for keto, cravings come unconciously. I find myself ordering french fries after a couple of weeks in 20 g. This very low carb ketosis often gives people certain "Zen"- like peace of mind. It comes from not eating carbs and it gets even better if you only eat once a day. Your mind relaxes greatly ,getting rid of carb addiction and its blood sugar ups/downs with the dopamine rushes when you fill your carbs. Your mind eventually forgets all the carb food. Body forgets it first. Just like tobacco or alcohol. After you get rid of addictions, you experience freedom and ease. At this point most carb eating people start laughing "Haha,addiction! I´be been eating bread and potatoes and chocolate all my life,never been addicted,haha!- Greetings from Australia 🦘 Gabe Skinner
Welcome from The Other Side,Gabe! I´m new here and not strict carnivore (not yet) but I have almost zero carb days in my "ketovore" style quite often. My intention is to try full carni soon. My heart situation has been interesting,an attack and a stent eight years ago. I got slowly worse and worse. I was put in an open heart surgery queue exactly two years ago. I was being examined (ultra etc) and all of a sudden a man came and introduced himself as "The Knife Guy". He said "let´s look at your legs and arms, ahh okay, yes we have nice spare parts here!" I was like "What? I had no idea of this!" The Knife Guy rudely said "Then wtf are you doing here?" I said "I was told about ultra and a possible second stent only". "I will NOT accept an open heart surgery "just in case", thank you very much for your time." And I left the hospital. I have not been back ever since and don´t intend to,as long as I´m walking on my feet,thinking straight. Now in ketovore I take walks, everything in my condition is getting better. I rarely need Nitro-Spray any more, it has been a household item for all these years. I have a spinning bike and a crosstrainer in my living room (My doc said a definite NO to both of them), and I just bought back my motorbike that I sold after being declared half-zombie. Got two bikes now. I have cut down BP meds a lot, quit statin. My understanding is,I have been fighting those excessive meds,thinking it was my bad heart preventing me from sweating and doing things. Sounds a bit crazy but that´s how I see it now. Give carni a try, maybe go keto with some carbs for a while first. >You may be pleasantly surprised. - Coffee?
