    Start with low doses of iodine. Me and @Bob live in the mid-west, and that is known as the goiter belt. Eat seafood or take iodine supplements. You WILL be deficient if you don't eat enough seafood, no ifs or buts. I take Iodine derived from sea kelp, 450mcg a day. I'll probably increase the dose soon. I do not like mega-dosing anything. And yes, if you read on iodine, it's similar on what you will read on saturated fat and cholesterol, that it will kill you and have mere hours to live! Pay it no mind. ALL of our cells need iodine, MUCH like cholesterol. We will die without it.

    Happy new year, and welcome to the forum, and the carnivore diet. We'll be your tour guides for this year through this wonderful journey if you have any questions. My first advice you didn't ask for: ease into it, for at least 2 weeks. Good luck.

    I am fortunate that dairy never did me wrong. Yes I have an auto immune disease, but those Dutch genes of mine make up for it.

    I have checked the book, and sure enough, it counts! A noble resolution to help another with this diet.

    I can understand for sure. Suffered for over 30 years, and only up to a few weeks ago, without pain. The horizon is wide and open. I have been rewarded greatly by going carnivore, hope the same will be the case for all of you.

    I say that's a good start of the year.

    Obviously, I'll keep on with the Carnivore diet, that is my main resolution. Another, going for US citizenship.

    I don't think so. You have much less to worry about salt being no carb. The daily recommendation seems to be 2300 mg according to mayo clinic, but take that with a grain of salt. Especially when beginning carnivore, do not be afraid of salt. In the beginning stages especially, your kidneys release excessive sodium due to ketosis. Salt to taste and you'll be fine. And start considering an iodine supplement if you do not have sea food on the regular. It's time to do away with the salt myths. Too little salt is just as, if not more harmful for you, this includes increasing possibility of cardiovascular disease.

    Carb deficit, good sir!

    You can make a switch to Keto, for sure. No problem. Now if you choose to go back to carb burning, I think you may gain weight back, you'll hold on to more liquid, and your body will go back to its old ways, fat cells do remember, after all. Whatever keeps you in ketosis, eat it. Have you considered pork? Forget the CICO model as long as you are in keto. IMO that would be a waste of time. It's really more like, carb in, carb out, thus when you are low carb/keto, it is not needed. It may even throw you off.

    I will do this today. Never even touched a crock pot before. If I do not survive, you can have all my stuff.

    I watched the same video lol. Be cranky if you must, but fight on!
  15. Orweller
    No problem. Together we'll figure this out. This is a good place to do so.

    It's really the caffeine and oxalates you have to worry about when it comes to coffee. Whatever works for you of course. Myself I have switched to half-caf which allows me to enjoy my 3 cups of coffee a day.

    I hope everybody had a splendid Christmas.

    If you plant that in the backyard, it will grow a stalk towards riches beyond measure.

    "Heart palpitations, flutters, or an increase in stroke volume on carnivore are common during the transition period. Like most other side effects, heart palpitations are a result of low electrolytes. All versions of high-fat low-carb diets cause insulin levels to drop, triggering the kidneys to excrete more sodium. Low sodium disrupts levels of magnesium and potassium." Dr. Kiltz https://www.doctorkiltz.com/carnivore-diet-side-effects/

    A pill for every ill. Those are the answers you get from a doctor. No mention about diet and lifestyle.

    LDL means very little. Slowly but surely doctors are moving away from depending on LDL levels as a precursor for heart disease. There is zero evidence, at all, anywhere, that suggests that LDL is causing heart disease. The LDL was a scam to sell medicine. Your numbers look good overall.

    Scrambled, 4 eggs, then add a quarter cup of cottage cheese in the pan, stir. Before cooking, scramble with a bit of water and heavy cream for more fluff. Salt and pepper to taste, and bingo.
  23. Orweller
    At least 4 a day. With Bacon, or with cottage cheese.

    I think cravings really depend on how you ate previously, before heading into a carnivore type diet. I was also just fine with a peanut butter sandwich everyday.

    Hopefully with blessings of OP lol
