SPAM... in a can. Not the kind in your inbox
I've found the people either love spam or they hate it. Haven't talked to anyone yet that is in the middle ground. I LOVE Spam. the original saltier one is my first choice. Some of the flavored ones are pretty good also. It's just pork shoulder and ham and spices, pre-cooked in the can. Pan fried with eggs and maybe some cheddar cheese is really good. When I ate a SAD diet I would fry a big thick slice and then put it on a hard roll with SHARP cheddar cheese and some orange marmalade. That was a last/death row meal kind of food for me. Those hard roll days are gone now! Let us know what you think of it. Chicken fried spam using pork rind crumbs is also an excellent way to go.

Geezy - with you being in TX do you ever use mesquite? we can get it here in chunk form in the BBQ section of the stores also comes in pellets for the pelletheads. I haven't used any in years and forgot what it tastes like. I may have to get a bag and try it again. The more smoke the better for me.

I turn each "smoking day" into an all day event, so some planning is required for sure. Back in the day when we were drinking alcohol we had some doozys for sure. I'd wake up the following morning and wonder where all the meat went and the neighbors would say we ate it all last night at the party 🤣. Those kind of parties would kill me now! A full brisket and I'm looking at 10-12 hours start to finish, but SO worth it. Pork shoulder takes a little less. Salmon is only 3 or 4 hours. The only chicken I smoke is wings and those go on the Traeger for just a little while. We don't eat much chicken around our house. I'd rather have a bowl of chicken soup 🤣.

Thanks. I've got several cast iron pans and a dutch oven which I enjoy using. I make Neisha Berry's cornless cornbread (fantastic recipe by the way) in my dutch oven. I'm going to take my 12" cast iron fry pan and polish it as smooth as possible and then re-season it. saw a guy do that online and it really improved the pan a lot for him. All the teflon is going in the recycle bin for disposal. Never had much luck with stainless and can't afford a good carbon steel pan.

Really?
I'm convinced more than ever that the world is full of idiots after hearing about the sugar diet a few weeks ago. If a person would do even a small amount of reading or research online they could maybe see the error of their decision. Oh well, it's not my job to save their ass so they can grab a big spoon and the sugar bowl or maybe a jar of honey and dig right in. Good luck with your future cancers. They are a bitch, trust me, I've been down that road once and being carnivore I hope to never travel that road again! Things like this are one of the main reasons I don't really like people anymore. The world has gone to shit and this is just another reason to believe that! True carnivores know the truth by our own personal experiences with this WOE. Long live the carnivores!!!

The doctors at the mayo clinic are no better than the doctors at your local clinic. They are all working for a corporation who will always have a "standard of care" that they must follow or else they will get sued or lose their positions within that corporation. As patients we need to do our own research into our nutrition and deal with it ourselves. your local doctor will hand out this same crapola of bad science. My local doctor told me years ago that I need to keep some carbs in my diet. I just laughed at her and said - why?, I'm still waiting for an answer 😂. Why do you think most of the carnivore influencer doctor work for themselves?

Looking for guidance and some insight.
Is Cronometer (free version) of any use for this application? I have not used it in a long time. I do not track anything myself and I just eat fatty meat as much as possible. When I first started out I used Cronometer to track my food intake and found it to be too much of a hassle always running to the computer after I would eat, and after a few months of just eating fatty meat I found to be the easiest. No tracking, no apps, no hassles. Eating correctly (for my system) just became my way of life.

I'm not sure what I'm eating today . In an effort to eliminate Teflon like products from my life We went to Target yesterday and I picked up this new ceramic coated cast iron pan. It will probably be some bacon and eggs to break it in. I've never cooked on ceramic before - Any tips from the group?

Once again I have to say, I don't know how you folks are eating these large quantities of chow. If I make 3 eggs and 3 strips of bacon I'm done for at least 12 hours or more. I know total body size and caloric needs are all different among people but ............ I will admit though "True confessions - My name is Terry and I'm a lazy ass" 😂

For myself too much straight magnesium citrate in capsule form can cause a laxative effect, but if I mix the powder into my drinking water along with some potassium then it's okay. I have a 10-1 magnesium capsule that I take with no laxative effect but it doesn't help for leg cramps nearly as well. 100% agree about body complexity!

"I could poop through a screen door" is another good one 🤣. Sorry, kind of early in the day for that but I just had to ad that one.

Her book "Toxic superfoods" is a must read. Excellent job she did on that one. I've read it twice and will probably just buy a copy one day to keep on hand for reference material.

Do you suffer from any seasonal allergies? That could be another source of itching. I'm affected seasonally and in wisconsin we just hit out first peaks of pollen (and I'm itchy along with our dog) and all the other crap in the air including as of today Canadian wildfire smoke. Our air quality index will be in the "Rad zone" starting this afternoon. At times we can actually smell the smoke from the great white North. Last year I suffered for several days of extreme itching from the tops of my toes to the top of my head. That was torture and NOT during allergy season. I think it was an MS flare-up, but there is no way to say for sure. Thankfully I have not had that again. I wanted to throw my body into the bushes and just roll around like a dog. It was that bad. Benadryl wouldn't even touch it. That's why I think it was MS related. It's a crazy disease for sure.

It took me 3 to 4 weeks to adapt. I jumped right in the deep end and with no gallbladder. That's how I roll with most things in my life. That was 4 years ago and now my digestion is 99% perfect. Once or twice a year I'll have "one of those days" 🤣, But within 24 hours it's all back to normal. I think that is the reason a few people quit carnivore without giving it a chance, But once you are "fat adapted" it is SO worth it in the end! As long as I'm feeding myself "I am a Carnivore for life!"

Switchin teams (sorry everyone)
And the site seems to work well for all. Thanks Bob for all the effort you put in keeping it going! Such a great resource for Carnivores to speak about our WOE. I'm really enjoying my time here.
