Kelly Hogan recently posted a video where she recommended 2 different models. Each was around $20

I'm in the market for a GOOD 8" chef's knife and looking for recommendations. It needs to be something that will hold an edge for a while. I'm currently using a Victorinox which is cheap and okay but it doesn't hold an edge for very long. Budget can't go too crazy on this purchase. I still need money for meat to cut with it 😆

Too many variables to be accurate over just a 24 hour period. You would be better to track over a few weeks and then divide by the number of days. I rarely weigh myself and just go by how my clothes fit. Currently I'm at 160.1 and headed for a final goal around 150. When I get there, I get there. I think it's more about how you feel then what you weigh.

My screen went into "Dark Mode" which is perfect. Not sure if that was the reason but I love it. Dark mode is easier on the old eyes.

I fast for helping to treat/eliminate my MS and ankylosing spondylitis. Fasting along with a Carnivore diet have made huge improvements in my life. The energy I develop during a fast is extraordinary. I feel my best while fasting for sure! It's surreal to me with the effect it has. As soon as all our leftovers of "Carni-chow" are used up I'm starting another long fast. Might try for a 100 hours "Century fast" this time. My body will let me know how long to go.

24 hour dry brined Pseudo ribeyes for lunch today. I just cut a rump roast in half for 2 nice 2" thick steaks. Not as tender as ribeye but very tasty.

We always try and find any clearance meat deals and either cook it up right away or freeze it. Never had an issue. Sometimes we can get up to 60% off @ Wally World, And YES, There is nothing wrong with meat from Walmart, other than their high original pricing, because That is not a bargain in our area. Our best find ever was an 11 1/2 pound brisket for $6.63 total. That's what they tagged it at, so we bought it and it was one of the best tasting briskets ever. Now i always check all the briskets looking for another "once in a lifetime" find 🤣

I do not have a gallbladder either. Removed in 1983 at the age of 22. My doctor at the time thought it was strange for someone so young. After the removal I dealt with diarrhea after eating greasy foods. That lasted for several years and then slowly went away. now my digestion seems to work just fine. Never constipated on Carnivore. Make sure you are getting plenty of animal fat, plus magnesium. Magnesium citrate will work for sure. I will say I was a little backed up about 3 weeks ago BUT that was do to my consumption of some cough syrup and about a dozen sugar free cough drops over a 3 day period. After I dropped the meds everything went back to normal. I found that strange how cough meds affected my system now being a carnivore.

I used to burn in about an hours worth of Wisconsin summer sun but not anymore. Carny fix that for me. my wife noticed the same effect. I wouldn't use any sunblock now anyways due to all the bad chemicals contained within.

Come and jump back on the wagon. There's plenty of room. I fell off and had a burrito the other day and the next morning I started right up again with a plate of bacon and eggs. All is good now.

You sound like my mom when I was a kid 😁. I was never exposed to that style of nose to tail eating. We had a family pig roast when I was about 5 or 6 and I saw my uncle eat pig brains. Me and my cousins were all freaked out. That's a memory that sticks with a person forever. I can picture that like it happened today and it was almost 60 years ago 🤣. If I ever find affordable ox tails, I would like to try that.

We went for a food run this morning to our local store. I found quite a few packs of clearance round steak Which Is marinating right now for jerky tomorrow. 3 lbs. ground beef chubs were BOGO for half off, so I'm turning that into dog food for our Gemma. She also gets Hard boiled eggs, peas, carrots and sweet potato. I add calcium powder to her food also. grabbed a few rump roasts also for the freezer. ALL that meat and it is still cheaper than a SAD diet!

That's all Yours. You can have my portion also 😁

https://www.youtube.com/@carnivoredoctor Dr Lisa Wiedeman has some info on that very subject of not wearing sunglasses

And boatload of vitamin D also. That vitamin D is formed from cholesterol and sun exposure.

I've found that I can't eat the "comfortably stuffed" (As Dr Berry would say) portions anymore. I do get plenty of fat though using bacon grease and butter, also coconut oil cubes that I keep in the freezer work well, especially for ketone production. The MCT's from coconut oil are supposed to go straight to the brain.

For myself after all this carny time I no longer try to "eat till stuffed". I now just do a nice OMAD around 1pm, and maybe some beef jerky or pork rinds around 5pm or 6pm and thats it on a typical day. If we do like big ribeyes or something really tasty for a meal and I eat too much Then I feel uncomfortable all night long. I'm now getting closer to my current goal weight and do not require so much food anymore. once I reach the current goal of 150 pounds total body weight I will then reevaluate how I feel and maybe set a new goal of 145. To me it's amazing how well you can feel and survive on so little food when you are eating quality nutrition without all the crap foods.

I don't track protein or calories. Only carbs, which I want as close to zero as possible, every day and I try to get as much fat as possible, so I don't waste the time tracking fat at all. I eat 99% zero carb foods so my tracking is really easy. I have a small food window of items which I find very convenient for shopping. My wife and I are both retired for 4 years now, and right after retired I started to not feel very well. My MS was kicking a little along with a few other thing. We both Started ketovore and quickly went carnivore. Pretty much helped everything and haven't looked back. If the opportunity appears to discuss carnivore with someone and I see they are wide eyed about it then I will also give them the 96 hours fasting story also. I like to blow there minds with wonder. Nice to hear about your friends weight loss. Did he start Carny because of you? either way it's good to hear

Thanks everybody - All this talk about fish made me hungry, so I ran to aldi for a huge piece of salmon. That's soaking up a little smoke on the pellet grill right now and will be our OMAD for this afternoon. I just did a little lemon-pepper and paparika and I'll have butter for dipping at meal time. Quick, simple and delicious. The wife suggested a pizza from aldi until I showed her the label and it is 36 grams of carbs per 1/8 slice. She said no way we are eating that 😂.

Congrats on your weight loss so far. 4 years later and I will still get "Disaster Pants" maybe once a year or so. Who knows why?. Doesn't matter because it's still better digestion and elimination than when on a SAD diet. Now when I think about it for a minute, it happens to me when I overdo my fat consumption. Yes, That my reason for sure. Because of how GREAT I feel when fasting I wish I could do it all the time. For me it's an amazing energy boost, and yes it will last for a few days after the fast has ended. as you refill your system with food it must take a while for that effect to go away. I used cronometer for a while to track my food but it became too big a PITA and just stopped doing that. I never tracked blood levels of anything. Now I just go by how I feel and how my pants fit. When i have to pull the belt out of the closet then I know I'm on the right track. Currently I'm the lowest in weight since probably middle school. I was very overweight from kindergarten on. Carny has fixed all that and more. I recently stopped all the cheese I was eating, which wasn't a lot by the way and have started losing weight again. Down 3-4 more pounds this week alone. 7 pounds from my next goal weight. Great luck to you (and us all) for continued success! Spread the word if you can and remember to "Eat your meat and live a long life"

Carny for 4 years and teeth and mouth have never been better for me. I switched to a non fluoride toothpaste about a year ago. BOKA brand is what i now use. It's a nano hydroxyapatite based toothpaste and really works well. It also contains xylitol which has been shown to help with cavity protection by reducing the acids in your mouth. Wife tried the BOKA and she had a few teeth that became sensitive to heat and cold items, so she went back to a fluoride based product. So, "your mileage may very" I also used to get canker sores (since the age of 5!) and eating carny they are no longer a thing in my life. I cannot remember the last time I had one.

This is my favorite kind of fish 😂

My body odor is greatly reduced eating carnivore. After years of use, I had become sensitized to deodorants and antiperspirants and can no longer use them or I break out in a bad rash that lasts for several weeks. Here is one other thing, I have a sauna in the house and on a SAD diet after a sauna session the towel you sit on would just smell like a wet towel, but eating carnivore the towel nows smell like a very strong ammonia smell. Not sure why. Maybe dumping toxins out of the body. Who knows, I just find that strange.

I'm talking about Taylor ham or N.J. pork roll. Similar to SPAM but a little more salty and spicier. We can only get it in Wisconsin by having it shipped here. Our neighbor grew up near Jersey and turned us on to it. I ordered 12 pounds a few years ago and we had a feast one afternoon. The leftovers didn't last too long either. There are a few recipes on line to make a homemade version. I haven't tried making it myself, yet. according to our neighbor the Taylor brand is better than the "NJ pork roll" brand.

I got that same smoker. Best rig I ever used. Only took one session to get the setting correct. Steel so thick that you have to put it in your will, so it stays in the family
