Those "Deutsche" know how to make a sausage.

I will probably have 2 shots of vodka a month, once a month. If you drink a low amount like that, and you keep it pure (no mixing), you'll remain in keto. I find it actually relaxing, within these limits, without having to pay the price later.

It also impedes muscle building, aka protein synthesis. Especially after 40, it's VERY important to continuously build muscle. In fact a night on the town getting drunk may undo your work in the gym by almost 25%. Alcohol is also a diuretic, the dehydration will interfere with a next visit to the gym. It's very disruptive.

I'll check out these books on Spotify. Especially Kicking Ass After 50. That is around the corner.

I couldn't think of a better new years resolution. The only regret you'll have is that you waited so long. I was crazy enough to start my journey during the holidays.

I wish!

It's also cheaper!

Yes, it's boring to track. I mostly do it for about 30 to 45 days straight, and then I know enough to go from there. But I absolutely believe that anybody can achieve their ideal weight on this diet, or at least close to it. Especially when we not only track our calories, but our macros on top of that.

They lost me at "melting" fat. This is rhetorical at best. We don't look for short cuts, we look at permanent lifestyle choices that fits you the best. Even if it means adding some fruits or vegetables to your carnivore diet. It's just that carnivore is an excellent reset/restart of how your body processes food.

Sorry for the rant and off topic.

I would also like to stress the importance of lifting heavy and slow. Diet will lose the weight, the muscles will keep it up, great calorie burners. Not to mention bone density, functionality into older age, and stability/posture. These things get overlooked sometimes. We can approach a healthy lifestyle from different angles.

I have tracked my calories without stressing about overeating. Just to see on how much calories I would feel satiated and comfortable. I also did not grow up with a highly toxic and fattening American standard diet. So for me I gather, it was easier to go back to baseline. I also did already eat pretty disciplined, some 6 years prior to this paradigm shift. So from already a superb fat percentage, I went even leaner, and feel lighter. Losing 5 pounds in 26 days with low bodyfat (15%) is so much harder than losing the same when overweight. It's the reason why I am so impressed, and I advise strongly to use Myfitnesspal or any other free app to at least track. Body weight is the first and foremost marker for heart disease and other ailments, even sleep apnea, skin condition, etc. I would've had the same result without the tracking, but it taught, even me, a lot about this new diet. I weight myself each morning, rather in fear of losing too much. So I am an advocate of tracking and weighing in every single morning. But not for the reason one might think, I am not striving for perfection. I just find the experience so much more educational, and in turn motivating.

Bacon wrapped burgers. Powerful food. Now my house smells like a sketchy diner... worth it! Lost 5 pounds over 26 days now. I can count my abs at 48. I woke up painless this morning, 30 years of chronic pain...

Not that they are concerned for you. They of course consider the fact that it cuts in their profit. I would not even try the authentic product, let alone the knock off junk.

I accommodated myself and they allowed me gracefully lol.

I survived, had excellent lamb meat, they made extra for me. The only sinning I did was a few spinach leaves and some onion. But All the sweets were left standing.

I am going to a Christmas party tomorrow and I am afraid to fall off the wagon. I did already eat 2 cookies, but they were keto-cookies. My carbs came up to 47gr that day. I am not particularly worried about that number for a day, but rather afraid of the slippery slope. I made these cookies myself, I used all the right products, but they tasted super sweet to me regardless. If I can make it through tomorrow I'll be set. Now I am thinking of what I could bring for myself to get through, I should've bought some cheese sticks at least... The first day I fell off the wagon, really. But still in Keto, I do not feel carb crazed or anything, no fog, no cravings. I don't aim for perfection, but I aim for continuality. Is that a word? English is my second language, pardon me. I am 23 days in and very satisfied with my symptoms (auto-immune disease). I never had the keto-flu either. And I lost 4 pounds, though that is not even my goal. I feel this little bump does little to keep me from quitting the carnivore.

It's kinda like who is the greatest boxer, Mayweather on paper for sure?? Then you look at Chavez, Marciano, etc. Same goes for MMA. You see these newest fighters put on fantastic records, but who are they fighting vs, the greats from the past (GSP), whom fought legends to get where he ended up. As for soccer, yeah we can look at Ballon D'ors which is nothing but a popularity contest, politics, really. Messi is a fantastic player, possibly the best yes, I still put Pele and Maradona in the mix though. It's for me what they've done in the times they played, and in the amount of time they achieved it as well. That said, yes, Messi is a magician on the field. Who is the greatest right now? Yes Messi. But GOAT means of all times. Some of these calls they made on the field at the world cup were definitely slanted. It's of course in the interest of soccer as a sport, and FIFA to have someone like Messi win his last cup.

Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs - chopped up in a bowl 2 TBSP - Keto mayo (Avocado based) Salt and pepper to taste. Not entirely carnivore, but it gets the fats in. A little different from bacon and eggs in the pan for once.

I put my coffee in the blender, with a teaspoon of butter and, bingo! It tastes delicious. Thanks for the tip!

Maybe? I'd be delighted to see how it's made. Liverwurst or paté is quite rare around here.

It's got so much to do with culture and how you've been brought up. I've eaten raw meat, raw fish, liver, horse meat, tongue, etc. when I was a kid. Moving to the US, it was less common to see these foods. I stick with liver these days. It can absolutely freak some people out, I believe that.

Wish I could make my own Paté. Or liverwurst for that matter.

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.
