  1. Bacon is bacon, to me at least. I tend to not worry about the small amounts of sugar here and there. If you eat 2 to 4 slices a day, I wouldn't worry about it.
  2. When I need food in a pinch, I got frozen burgers, then I put them on the foreman grill, 5 minutes or so later, I eat beef. I do add butter though since those grills dry them out. No fancy meal but good fuel.
  3. Snacking can absolutely hinder your progress. The thing is, you have so much less hunger pangs and probably snack out of habit, with no other function than to kill time, a left over from carb addiction. Mentally see snacking as such, that will help. We do not need snacks, it's a thing that is taught, and was necessary because we had carb cravings, due to inefficient macronutrient intake, a boon for the sugar industry I may add.
  4. There's drinks and mixes you can purchase. But one could turn to supplements, magnesium, potassium, and increase the use of table salt, imo iodized salt. Make these changes in increments. @Scott worded it perfectly. Tweak your intake, bit by bit.
  5. Welcome! Ask lots of questions.
  6. That article is terrifying. Mandates, taxes, regulation, indoctrination. It always starts well intended. It's about parenting, really. And it should stop there.
  7. Consider also, water intake, sleep quality, and stress. There may be things at play outside of diet, that may be more pronounced with a carnivore style diet.
  8. At my heaviest ever I was 155. I've never been a big eater, stopped going at fast food places some 8 years ago, and now when I see the price of a burger, I consider myself a rich man.
  9. Have you had your testosterone tested?
  10. Again, I am 5'9, 135lbs. I eat a little over a pound of meat, the rest is eggs and cheese, I am guessing around 1600 to 1900 calories a day. There's so many things that can play a role here, even sleep. I think it is worth to stick it through and tweak as you go.
  11. You feel like the extra weight is bloating? Make sure you use iodized salt. I usually go for fattier meat than 80/20, that may be the low energy issue, and don't be afraid to add a little carbs if you need to. A handful of dark chocolate or an ounce of carrots. This diet is not cookie cutter. Whether your body still needs time depends on your age. Working out 5 times a week, may also be an aspect, on this diet, your recovery times may be different. I switched from a week cycle, to a 10 cycle with regards to rest, etc. Then again, I am 49 so recovery is priority. Sometimes less is more.
  12. It's crazy how we get rid of something so durable, in exchange for convenience. Though I must say, stainless steel can outlast you as well. I've gotten rid of anything teflon or other non-stick sprayed pans.
  13. The mental benefits are definitely connected with what you put in your body. Diet may not be the main culprit, or the all out solution, but we do have a chemical, hormonal response to what we put in our body which may worsen mental states in which we may find ourselves. Of course, the feeling of accomplishment is a benefactor. Be proud of yourself and carry on, if anything, give it 90 days. I am still discovering improvements after 6 months. Remember, we faced a lifetime of a toxic western diet.
  14. I went from 148 to 135 myself. I am 5'9, quite lean. I have been working out for some odd 18 years now, so the results are lean muscle mass shows. If you lose weight, and you don't workout, you see the results of not what you've not eaten, but what you have not done while not eating. Don't force feed yourself, your body knows when it has fuel. If you don't already, start lifting heavy, your body will start asking for more food and fat. And the bonus is, you build that lean mass that is so important for your metabolism. Yes, losing weight happens in the kitchen, but we can't ignore the gym.
  15. We've had decades upon decades of food propaganda, I am not as surprised. We've been conditioned since we were young.
  16. I've looked into that as well, but found it to be very limited. I got a cast iron pan instead. Cheaper and will outlast an air fryer, in fact, it will outlast me lol.
  17. I'll drink a cup for you this morning. One of my last vices btw.
  18. And, you know the animal has not suffered -or at least, you have a say in it. While at the same time putting that money into conservation and balancing deer population. Eating game food makes you part of a much better ecological system, no meat factories, etc etc....
  19. With the food prices as they are this is the perfect time to rid oneself of junk food. I've always made my own coffee at home. Why did you quit coffee?
  20. That is when you make batch videos and release them over a span of time. I used to make a few, then slowly release them. That will be very good for the algorithm. But even better for your followers. They will know that a given Wednesday or Friday, they can expect a video from you. A job always comes first of course, and family. I also get into too many things and have since abandoned my channel. My issue was content. I did enjoy editing, I did enjoy working on it, especially hitting 1000 subs. It was all just for fun. It's almost like you need a team for a good running channel, I came home from work, and worked the rest of the evening on editing. Every day.
