    I have lost weight after increasing my calories by 700 for a week. There's been instances where people gained weight on a 600 calorie diet conducted in a hospital.

    Yes, I also see cheese as a great way to tweak my diet. Also to add variety, without eating blocks of cheese in one sitting of course.

    I hope it is not too serious, I've never heard of it.

    Siamese kidneys? Crikey.

    There's a lot of food waste going on, that is for sure. Some silly regulation preventing distributing otherwise perfectly good food to the needy.

    And I reckon, we are always in the fat burning zone as that is our primary fuel. But that may be an ignorant observation.

    You could track your calories on an app, but rather count your macros, to make sure you've got enough protein, etc. 0.8 to 1 gram of pound of protein per pound of ideal body weight. So if your goal is 180 lbs. consume between 144 and 180 gram of protein. That is doable I'd say. Eat 8 oz. of ground pork and you got about 60 grams of protein right there. Add a leaner cut of meat in the mix, and if you go too lean, add a tbsp of butter or some shredded cheese.

    I guess we're looking for fat-loss, and not weight loss. The scale can be quite deceptive. So what if we know how hard the earth is pulling on us with it's gravity? What is it pulling is the question! Good luck on your journey.

    The pendulum is swinging back...

    This may indicate a drop in blood sugar. When this only occurs during workout, this may be the explanation as your body needs that energy source. Within the 90 day period, you're still in the adjustment phase, and you have now introduced new activities since you started on carnivore. Especially if you were diabetic, pre-diabetic, or just ate a lot of carbs. Cut your activities in half, eat more fat, make sure you don't drink too much or too little, and mind your electrolytes, not just salt. Potassium and magnesium supplements would be recommended. An electrolyte pouch maybe on the days that you do work out.

    I think, that if you would never count a calorie again, you'd still lose weight. Know what I mean? I think all those years we weren't counting calories, but carbs. Just my observation. It's carbs that got us fat, not calories.
  13. Orweller
    It does not matter. It most likely never mattered. We lose fat in the kitchen, not in the gym. Cardio is a poor way to lose weight. Think of it like this, a 5k run is equivalent to one chocolate chip cookie, that is 30 minutes of jogging. Eating is for weight loss Cardio is for cardio vascular health Strength training is for metabolic health & efficiency Calorie counting goes out the window too, when you're not consuming carbs.

    What did they do now? I am on FB but only for my family overseas.

    It does simplify eating a whole lot. If it was you on Zoom last Monday, it was nice to meet you. I lot of these occurrences during the adjustment phase seem alarming. But we cannot forget, not merely as alarming as the condition we found ourselves in while eating the standard diet. We scrutinize everything during these changes, but forget we never did while eating the kind of diet that got us there in the first place.

    Welcome to the forum. I hear you on doctors. They do not have the will, or time to listen to you anymore. It took them 17 years to figure out what was wrong with me. And when they figured it out, they had a list of pills to take for me, and send me on my way home. Of course I did not do that, because by that time, I already knew I was on my own. I was already searching for alternatives. Tried low starch diet, no dairy, gluten free, etc. I had mixed results, but more than the doctors ever gave me. I was not interested in pills that would mask the symptom, or the pain. When you stop listening to your body, it will eventually stop on you, so to speak. When they did finally figure it all out, they also told me I was doomed and fated to take medicine for life. That did not sound much like a fix to me. Until 15 years later when I bumped into the carnivore diet. A year in now, and the benefits are tremendous. 80% of my problems gone, pain free as we speak. 30 years of chronic pain, at some point walking with a cane. Carnivore is not the be all end all mind you, there will be other aspects of life that need sorted (working out, walking, etc.), but as my very last resort, it gave me my life back. I am still looking back stunned and amazed.

    Fat could just be part of the solution, but if you get enough fat, and you've always had problems with sleeping, they may be other issues at hand, perhaps, nothing to do with diet. On point as always.

    I found myself to be in an even better shape than when I got discharged in '95. So keep going at it. We're here to listen to one other's story. This is exactly the place to do so.

    I reckon you'll be famous soon. Red carpet! watch your step!

    I've had a power outage and when your water heater is electric, this is a blessing. You can heat up the kitchen, by boiling water, have hot water, and yes, still cook. And, it just cooks better.

    I have never ever checked my cholesterol. And reading a lot about how the story around cholesterol constantly changes, good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, total cholesterol, etc. Remember when all cholesterol was supposed to be bad? It seems to me what we know about cholesterol is purely theoretical. I am not convinced that cholesterol could tell me a whole lot about my health unless I had symptoms. We are not being ignorant, they are. And they use it to sell pills.

    There is for sure, the quality issue. Good point. Once I have a dedicated freezer, I will have my meat processed at an actual butcher. Not many around here.

    You may be sleeping faster? Serious guess, you may have to increase fat? Again I do not have these sleep issues, but I've seen this solution to help for some people.
