    I think vitamin D supplements are not a problem. 42% of adults in the US are vitamin D deficient. Especially during the winter time, it's a must. Though, never overdo it, as vitamin D can turn toxic, much like vitamin K. But for vitamin D it's highly unlikely to overdose especially if you keep the doses small. For liver, I eat liver-worst. Braunschweiger wurst. Slice it and eat it. I do supplement in the meantime (C, D, Magnesium, Potassium, Fish Oil, K), and as I broaden my diet into organ meats or salmon, etc, I will taper off accordingly. As for Keto snacks, overpriced, and redundant. I write down what I take so I can keep track.

    I will take that in consideration. I have purchased a keto mayo based on avocado in the meantime.

    No I am not getting fat. And that's a problem, I think. I am on carnivore not to lose weight, but to address an auto immune disease, reduce sugar and processed foods. I have been at it for 2 weeks now and I feel like I don't get enough fat. I've tried eating straight butter but I can't. Brown butter bites did not work for me either. Not very skilled cook here. I am 145.5 Lbs. lean, and at a healthy weight with muscle definition. This is an example of a daily intake over the last 2 weeks, I'll pick a random day: Calories: 1836 Carbs: 26gr (5%) Fat: 143gr (68%) Protein: 125gr (27%) Sugar: 11gr, Fiber: 6gr I would like to have at least 70% of fat, but on the days I do really good on no carbs this seems to be an issue. My protein quickly approaches 140gr or more, and I think that may be a bit much for my body weight? I am considering avocados to fill in the gaps. Any ideas or input is welcomed. Just spit-balling here.

    Sounds delicious.

    I'm going to be honest here, the first week in I was literally waiting for that heart attack. This is going against everything I have ever been thought. Now exactly 2 weeks without fiber! I have always eaten fairly disciplined, greens, fiber, whole foods, grains, oatmeal, etc. It is normal and okay to be in the state you are right now. Every diet or lifestyle requires a healthy amount of scrutiny. It's your body and health on the line after all. I went into this just to see what it does for me in a month, and see from there. I can quit, or go more towards keto-vore, or even keto. One thing I haven't eaten in those 30 days is, refined sugar, processed foods, seed oils, fast food, that can't be that bad. I eat pretty much anything, but lambs brains would have me gagging too. I applaud you for trying it. Please, do not feel ashamed.

    I think it's prevalent in the US. Iced coffee, iced tea, etc. Also when you go out to eat, they fill that glass half full of ice cubes. Had to get used to that when I moved to the US, but quickly decided I'll do without the ice. Again, it's a preference. If it doesn't bother one, one should have that choice. Carnivore is limited as is. But from a health perspective; streamlining healthy behaviors for optimal health, it's worth the consideration.

    To your defense, you are in Texas after all, it gets hot. I have always been told not to drink cold water, and in a restaurant I never get the ice, because I know those ice-cube machines are nasty, used to repair those back in day. Even after a run in an Ohio summer, I would drink normal temp water. Still works!

    Perfect for it! Stainless steel and cast iron, do it! Though mind the surface of the stove! I would start with stainless steel, and that has a learning curve if you are used to non-stick.
  9. Orweller
    Mainly digestion. Cold water contracts the blood vessels and may restrict digestion (constipation, etc). On carnivore it seems to me to have more importance. Especially in the beginning. I have always drank my water at room temp. It also lowers heartrate, which has a shocking effect on the body.
  10. Orweller
    I have nothing but stainless steel and cast iron, it's a pain at first but it's clean cooking. Especially cast iron, you could get a griddle for the meats, etc.

    There's plenty of natural solutions out there, I for one use a goatmilk/charcoal soap bar. As for tooth paste, I am far less concerned. It needs fluoride at least for me. Staying away from sugar, processed foods, get all the plastic out of your kitchen, no more Teflon pans, clean kitchen with vinegar, find a natural deodorant, no more fast-food, and remember to get fresh air and sunlight! Cold showers are even better, drink room temp water, stretching or yoga, get good sleep habits, try a fast!
  12. Orweller
    Those are kind of cool to use, but mine broke. Didn't find them as handy, but I may have to reconsider!
  13. Orweller
    Thank you for this. I will try to blend.
  14. Orweller
    I stir it like a gentleman. With a teaspoon lol. I never considered putting hot coffee in a blender, though I got a Vitamix, those things will blend bricks into a creamy soup. MCT oil I was advised to stay away from so early into carnivore. I will integrate it in my diet at a later point. 12 days in and zero diarrhea, zero keto-flu, and a minor bout of constipation.

    I've tried to put butter in my coffee but it makes me think of soup. A pinch of salt is no problem. I probably should try coconut oil?
  16. Orweller
    Well, I just made brown butter bites will taste later!
  17. Orweller
    They would be right! lol Excellent suggestion. Any idea what could be used as flavor? Again, I only started cooking when I went carnivore... I am a moron in the kitchen. Another thing: my kitchen stinks like Outback's Steakhouse which has my wife up in arms. But I digress. Thanks for the suggestions.

    About 67% of my calories comes from fat, about 3% to 8% comes from carbs. I've seen a lot of talk about butter, and I see why it's an amazing tool to increase fat on one of those days it seems challenging to come up with the right amount of fat. My question is; eat the butter right out of the package? I've tried this and I just can't. Or does it mean, add more butter in the frying pan? Any tips on how to use butter to increase fat intake without having to eat it straight from the package? Or, any advice on how to eat it from the package? I just want to know how butter can benefit me most, and make more accessible as a tool for me.

    I've been at it for 10 days and lost a pound. Eating three times a day. I am feeling good.
  20. Orweller
    Take a vitamin C every other day, problem solved.
  21. Orweller
    Avocado probably the best fruit to add first. Good fats.
  22. Orweller
    I agree, as a starter, as strange as it sounds, it can be quite confusing because we've been taught a certain eating pattern throughout our lives. I was in Walmart looking at the meat like "ok, now where the hell do I start?". I did start with eggs, bacon, and mozzarella cheese sticks for support. Since they are all high in fat.

    College tuition increased 1500% since 1971. Is education better now? Nope. We have instead a crisis of student debt that will impact US economy for years to come.
  24. Orweller
    No. And it will never be settled with so many candidates.
  25. Orweller
    Soccer (football for the rest of the world) and field hockey. But that's in the past. I lift weights now and I run.
