A couple weeks ago I added 1/4 scoop of equip caramel protein powder to an iced coffee, because I was exhausted and wanted the pick me up while watching a 2 hour class. The equip caramel has no sugar, but some stevia. I had cravings for sweets the rest of the day. I don't normally use anything with any sort of added "sweetener" and that little bit made a big difference for me. Definitely eye opening. Though, I can have a glass of champagne, and it doesn't cause me to crave sweets terribly. The carnivore ice cream is definitely a go-to for me sometimes when I am craving a "treat".

Keto & carnivore have sure helped my kidney function. I have polycystic kidney disease, so there are other factors at play I work to mitigate. I follow a higher fat version, trying to keep ketones in line. I believe that is healthy for just about anyone. I also practice some intermittent fasting, but some of that is to slow down the cyst growth (not activate insulin or mTor all the time). My nephrologist seems slightly surprised by my lack of decline, as of late. She attributes the lower kidney measurements to measurement error, which is possible. I mentioned keto a few years ago when she noticed the ketones in my urine results. She just said huh, I think they did a weight loss challenge with that in the office previously. Does not seem to have any knowledge of nutritional therapies. She did agree to test cystatin C this year, because I explained it is more accurate for those who eat a lot of meat.

My husband and I are hoping to get some calves to feed out and maybe some heifers for breeding next year to make it more sustainable. Been checking around, everyone agrees prices are up. However, not sure they are going down anytime soon, so we figure this is the time with extra hay around to feed them. With the prices in the store, I don't think we will come out losing since we eat so much meat and the hay is almost no cost this year. Price per pound, hours, feed, and butcher will add up I'm sure.

Hey Carnivore Chef, an egg served as a binder. I just drained a can of sardines, mashed it up with one egg and one slice of goat cheese. Scooped onto a hot skillet with lard or ghee and fried. Topped with big grain salt after. Not fancy, but a nice change up. I eat a lot of sardines 😁

Hello! I am excited to get to interact with this group. My husband and I have been carnivore since Jan 1st this year. Prior to that, he was consuming a typical diet, and I had been consuming a very clean ketogenic diet for about 3.5 years. Between the ketogenic and carnivore diets, I have seen great improvement in my kidney function and narcolepsy symptoms. Polycystic Kidney Disease is what brought me to keto, and a sugar addiction brought me to carnivore from there. In truth, I really wasn't eating many carbs anyway. Really using "my allowance" strategically to include plenty of wine, cheese, and homemade keto treats. I was happy and surprised to find that Carnivore gives me more steady energy and less food noise. Currently, I homeschool our kids and work very part time in Clinical Microbiology. However, I am currently taking a Certified Health Coach Course because I love helping others find health improvements using nutrition! I am excited to see where God leads us with this- I just took a leap and started Kairos Health, LLC. Kairos is a Greek word meaning the right or opportune time for decision making. I truly hope I can be helpful in someone's health journey. Here is the link to my interview with Dave Mac in case anyone is interested

I made some sardine patties for lunch today!
