Last night I did some grocery shopping which is surprisely simple as a Carnivore.
beef
butter
bacon
eggs
but then the monkey came out for a little visit. So in the store I picked up a thingy of sharp cheddar, and I knew after reading an article here, sharp cheddar is one of the more addictive. So instead of getting sharp cheddar I selected soft cheese, St Albans. I ate the whole thing that night.
Thus, to summarize the lessons learned: I simply cannot moderate cheese intake on my own. It has to be completely removed from my diet

I’ve done planned cheat days of taco bowls (no shells just salad) with beef and taco seasoning, shredded cheese, lettuce tomato raw onion and hot sauce 
definitely not carnivore but it felt like a small victory for me with Type 1 Diabetes (I can’t do taco shells or tortillas)
but I guess my point is that if you have a cheat day it helps to plan in advance because things can get hairy if you decide to just show up at the grocery store and get creative right then and there
cause I’ve done that too and came home with 2 bags of caramel corn and just really over did it 

I’m starting to think I can’t do carnivore without herbs and spices. I need ginger and black pepper, turmeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and more
every once in a while I need to visit Flavor Country

What did people do before Whole Foods and the expensive sea salt products?
was everyone just dying left and right without adding tons of sea salt to everything?

Okay, well when I need to hear the strong truth I will be sure not to ask you. Because your motive is a lazy one and everyone else here knows it
stop justifying the toxic industry that adds chemicals to foods

You avoided the questions 
what’s XANTUM Gum and all the other hidden stuff

Enjoy that Xanthum gum (wtf is that stuff?) and Nisin and natural flavors 
man you are in the danger zone and you know it…

Yeah those wraps look good, what are the ingredients? They are store bought?

Butter is the best flavoring 
think of a nice hot ribeye dipped in melted butter

All very real replies I loved them all
very nice and truthful, thank you 

Yeah I do Kerrygold unsalted, a big fan 
I can actually taste the difference between Kerrygold and cheap stuff
Years ago I had the hookup for raw butter from a local farm. It was probably best

I’m kind of appalled, kind of sicken, somewhat taken back and a lot disgusted 
I’m not eating raw beef
but I liked your thing about butter
what kind of better do you suggest)

A 5 guys burger just opened a block away from home. They do okay 
Now, they do double cheeseburgers without the bun, they are in a bowl with the lettuce and condiments. So it is possible to eat at 5 guys and keep it low carb
but it is a impulse food environment. When you smell the Cajun fries cooking it is rather tempting.
free ketchup to go was my downfall. I lost it like a chain reaction. Even though I got the burger with no buns I put tons of ketchup on my burger. Ketchup has sugar and who knows what else 
plus they have free peanuts so I overdid it with carbs. Not too bad but had the Cajun fries been added then we are taking a heavy carb meal and no turning back
once a Type 1 Diabetic scarfs down a big serving of fries and ketchup and potato burger buns, their blood sugar will be messed up for days

Allow me to enlighten you all
if you put raw bacon into a food dehydrator with a heating element for 24 hours
the result will be the most perfectly addictive bacon ever.

You can educate her. This is where you can shine and stand out as being different. You can show her that you can cook, and prefer a home cooked meal because it's healthier, and allows you to save money that would be better off being saved for the dream house or diamond engagement ring, lol .
I can understand being young and dating and wanting to come across both as reasonable and not completely boring, lol. I still go out on date nights with my wife. I will revert to keto for that meal. I will even have a few drinks, typically bourbons or something mixed with diet coke because I still avoid sugar like the plague. 
If you have a lot of major health issues to reverse or weight to lose, it might be best to take some time to work on yourself, and postpone dating for when you are looking and feeling your best.

Yeah I agree 
back in Wyoming where I’m from it’s the same as here. 
but I’ve noticed Asian women put up a big front about being foodies in their profiles. You know all the effing rice and noodle nonsense
if you go to a Thai restaurant and ask for no MSG the fucking chefs don’t understand what no MSG is and they put it in regardless 

It is crazy out there
but last night I randomly met a real stunner at a bar and it definitely broke the odds for me, as far as online dating goes which is not as serendipitous as just meeting a stunner by chance and every checkbox is checked off. So I met a wild one last night
come to think of it, even with past relationships my main food request was for her to make me steak and eggs and serve it to me. It’s pretty simple. And it’s really great because women understand the instinct that strong men crave meat and steak
It’s really a win win

Carnilove

We should develop an app for singles to meet other carnis 
Carnidates

So what’s up with dating when you eat zero carbs?
I guess some of you don’t drink either and are on elimination diets but if you are not married and in a relationship things are a bit different 
so many single women their only hobby is eating food for fun. Going to fancy restaurants, new restaurants and all that nonsense
I basically hate restaurants and I live in a neighborhood that is designed for foodies
Let’s be honest: carnivore is an extreme diet. It’s very restrictive. And we live in a world of carbohydrate junkies and impulse foods

Alright so the book I recommend is online for free in PDF form:: ”Caffeine Blues” it’s a scientific study for how and why to kick caffeine 
if you’re on carnivore (which is really an elimination diet) then you have to withdrawal from the caffeine addiction, and if you drink caffeine daily then yes you are hooked hard. It’s not too much different than using coke every day. Caffeine is a hardcore drug
there are HUNDREDS of hidden chemicals in coffee. Get real
Trust me, when you kick caffeine for a year you will SEE it in people who are cranked up on caffeine. You got to exit the caffeine habit 
there i said it
