Mind you, strength training and lifting has also helped with AS. It can be crippling yes. Carnivore the all time best option for AS, in my opinion. Do not know about MS.

Peter Attia normally talks out of his ass, but I am glad he is right at least sometimes. Good on him. He's been dismissive of the carnivore diet on several occasions, in a very arrgoant and annoying way. He is in the Paul Saladino category for me. A waste of time.

I got this thing too. Improved by 90% of symptoms gone. I do not fast, just eat when hungry. It's been a 33 year battle for me that now finally has been conquered, for the most.

You as well sir. Had an amazing Easter weekend. I turned 50, I ate cheesecake. Ice cream. I felt a rush of sugar, crashed hard. I great reminder, now back to my normal, carnivore. I could not stop thinking, I feel better turning 50 then turning 40. The power of the diet.

As always, an expert explanation, was going to say this, but I'd sound a lot dumber. Remember folks, compare carnivore against SAD and Vegan, and questions regarding grass-fed and organic may be trivial. It doesn't have to be perfect. This is also why beef is always the best option.

They needed a study for this? 😄

Another good reason not to use it. It causes an insulin release that can lead to liver failure in dogs. For us, it is less toxic. Less toxic. "Deemed safe". Does not sound like something I would want to ingest. A micro poison.

Welcome, sir.

Concerns about parasites? Well, you're in the right state, you've got plenty of them!

It wasn't close. I have counted calories for 10 years. I was 148lbs. and needed about 2100 calories based on activities. Looking back it seems I wasted time. But that is just my experience. I had been using that app for almost 10 years. The thing is, your not counting calories, but carbs. It's really the amount of carbs that make us change weight. Thing is out the window when eating keto/carnivore. And within 2 months I went down to 132lbs. at 11% body fat/shredded. By excluding carbs it's almost if my body knew what weight I should be. I have maintained 132lbs. for over 6 months now, no matter what I do. Like I have stated, I tried to GAIN weight by eating 3000 calories, but to no avail. I may have gained a pound, maybe. My body is happy at where its at, whether I like it or not. I do also feel good, not weak, not tired, etc. So fine by me.

Yes, phone is going to be your friend. But don't count calories, just track macros, that will eventually decide your metabolism. Also, muscle mass, build muscle, hypertrophy heavy lifting. The more muscle you have, the less you need to concern yourself with metabolic rate, or calories for that matter. I've eaten 700 calories above my daily intake for 3 weeks and did not gain one pound. That is how reliable counting calories is. At least when it comes to carnivore.

Yes. It will be called "Opinions Nobody Ever Asked For But Given Out of Sheer Compulsion". Audio book soon to follow.

This is the way.

That's inflammation right there. Well said. I always say, don't set goals, make habits. After all it is habits that got us here.

I challenge you to dance with a weighted vest!

Gonna be honest here. And I'll wish you but the best of luck. But that sounds like a very challenging way to lose fat. I'll be happy to see when you prove my wrong though.

I was a combat engineer, I had a car to move me around lol. But yeah, basic training...

Don't be in a hurry losing weight. It's a slow process. Took you years to become over weight, have patience. You wanna get down there healthily. You wanna build muscle, let our body adjust (metabolism). Remember, too much protein may also stall weight loss. Carnivore should give you more than enough amino acids.

I was also more sensitive to the beer, that is why I left it at one. Surprisingly, the one beer was enough to be enjoyable, enough to not want another. Not that I ever had problems with alcohol, nor have I been a drinker, I would not have left it at one. My buddy said: "you're empty", and I said "that I am". Like my body was talking to me "a second one will not be as good". I agree fully with you, eating is for fuel.

We've come to a point that yes, counting calories has failed us. It's still around because failure makes money, thus it's heavily promoted. Kind of like medicine, they treat you, not heal you. Counting calories IF it works is very unreliable and inaccurate, as calories are but an estimation. It can lead to malnourishment and under eating. Cutting calories is also torture and people are bound to fail. The ghrelin hormone will make sure of that. Speaking of hormones, counting calories also dismisses the idea of hormonal/biochemical response to food, which is also a huge flaw. You're most likely to fail as most people will. It always about counting carbs. As in, how to eat as least as possible. Calorie counting also leads to the "a calorie is a calorie" fallacy. For all of us here, we know that is not true, again, hormonal/biochemical response to food. Can CICO work? Yes. I could also push my car to work if I really tried.

Myfitnesspal. Been using it for 10 years now.

These days I would eat a little bit of everything to be nice. But for a year I kept pretty strict, including in social situations. Now I feel I can handle a slice of bread, or anything homecooked if offered. A friend brought over a good porter, and I had a bottle, it was nice, local brew. But I can leave it alone, and am strict in between. But again, that is with a year of strict.
