Maybe I should try OMAD!!!!!!

Coffee and 1 pack of instant grits, I know but I was able to get it down. Ok, I don't possess a grill so can someone give me or tell me how to cook my ribeye, tender but not raw and not burnt.

TIA

Maybe I should try OMAD!!!!!!

I've definitely lost my ability to eat temps that I used to. I still like them, but they don't like me.

Aldi lets me try cuts we don't have locally. The little store I part time at still has $3.49 lb bacon. And their burger just went up to $4.50. I got a bone in ham yesterday for $1.49 lb. I don't usually need to go anywhere else.

I felt like shaking things up tonight, lol. So I had my own chicken fajitas, using Egg Life wraps, with sour cream, Carolina reaper & ghost pepper shredded cheese, with bacon. It was pretty tasty.... and pretty toasty hot too, lol

Lamb ribs and beef heart.

Hope you feel better soon :)

Hello everyone, I really haven't been eating well at all, I just don't have an appetite. I ate a taco last night and I believe that I was food poisoned, my tummy is not to happy. Food just don't taste right to me, I have some homemade chicken soup in the freezer and I am going to try and sip on it tonight.

Celebrating 4 years today as a carnivore with these ribeye beauties.
I put them on the smoker frozen and then let the smoke do it's magic for 3 or 4 hours. Then flash grill them at 475' to 500' for just a few minutes per side. Done this trick several times now and always get a nice rare center. I just used (lots of) salt for seasoning.
It's going to be a happy OMAD for today 🥩

My appetite or maybe a better term would be hunger is completely gone being a carnivore, and I love that. Food also tastes so much better now. OMAD is the usual thing for both my wife and myself. I hope you can discover what is up with your situation, because a carnivore diet can be really amazing in what it can do for a person. Good luck

Hello everyone,
Just want to start off by saying sorry for the long post, but this issue that came up is concerning me.
I am relatively new to the carnivore diet, maybe close to 2 months in, and when I initially started with the first month the diet was working well. Inflammation in some of my joints were reduced, concentrating was easier digestion seems smoother, and energy was up. Now that I am in the later part of the 2nd month, it seems that some negative things are popping up that I didn't have before.
My diet since doing carnivore consists of fatty beef, chicken occasionally, eggs, bacon, salmon, beef liver, and fatty pork. I mainly focus on beef and eggs but include the other foods to try to maintain the electrolytes. I do also want to note that the first month, though, I didn't eat beef liver or salmon. I use Pink Himalayan Salt and Kerry Gold Butter on the vast majority of food and I always pour the meat grease onto the food after it is cooked from the air fryer. Finally, I only drink water. No caffeine in the diet.
Some of the issues that I am having now are:
1) My legs, especially the calf area, will feel kind of sore, but not actually be sore. As in there is a feeling of slight soreness, but if you touch the calves no additional pain occurs. I have not had any leg cramps, though I feel that is coming soon. In addition, when I walk up just one flight of stairs, pain in my legs and quads seems to be very, very noticeable.
2) I always have this sort of fluttering feeling in my heart. It doesn't seem like my heart is beating any faster. It might beat louder sometimes, but the majority of the time I think it is just fluttering. It doesn't seem like it is skipping any beats neither.
3) Inflammation seems to have increased. It is not as bad as before I started the diet, and there are still times when it is really reduced, but it doesn't seem to stay consistently reduced.
4) Dizziness is not really prevalent, but sometimes it feels like when I am in certain light too long (mainly at work) slight dizziness does occur. In addition, when I get up from sitting too long, I do get slightly dizzy.
5) When I go to bed, my mouth starts getting dry. When this first started, I would wake up with very bad case of cotton mouth. Now, it seems like within a few minutes of laying down, the dryness starts. I also wake up at least once a night, though, that is something that was happening prior to carnivore, but I think it is happening now due to the dry mouth.
All of this I believe should be a result of an electrolyte imbalance, at least from what I have read, but I am having a hard time trying to counter this. I would prefer not to take supplements since I am trying to use the diet and diet alone to get all my nutrients in. I do have a LMNT (no flavor) on hand in case emergencies happen, but would prefer to figure this out through eating, no supplementation. I added the beef liver and salmon to help balance the electrolytes (eating each about twice per week), but I really don't see any glaring differences. I am not eating liver or salmon daily due to not having a high fat content, especially the liver (which I actually think the liver is making it hard to go number 2, though I am not constipated). Finally, I am starting to put the Pink Salt in water when I wake up and maybe an hour before I go to bed. Not sure, but I think this is preventing the cotton mouth from going full force.
Any additional food suggestions that you can give to try to counter act what I think is an electrolyte imbalance? Is supplementation the only thing that can work?
Also, (not related to the topic) I am very curious if it was possible to find someone near where I live who is more of a veteran in doing the carnivore diet to show me the ropes. I have been doing this on my own, but I don't think I will be able to figure everything out on my own, so it would be nice if there was some sort of website or something along those lines where I can find somewhere near me that can guide me better with this diet and make it more personal.
Thank you in advanced and sorry again for the long post.

Hello everyone, I consumed a cup of coffee, bullet proofed and a wonder bread hamburger, could not consume it all, but I got full.

Started the day with a simple chaffle, but I sinned and put a little maple syrup on it 😄.
The wife's family makes maple syrup and we help out in the woods so we always get a jar full. At least it's natural
1/2 lb of ribeye for lunch
A burger patty for right now
Some reuteri yogurt later, right before bed
and then we are done for the day.
This is the rare "three meals" kind of day.

I no longer make those anymore just for that reason. Way too easy to overconsume. I now only cook a few strips at a meal and that's it.

Well, I had some caesar salad with chicken, just enough to satiate me.

Great story on the desire and will to lose the weight but the reporting of it sux. I hate it when they’ve always got to put ignorant misinformation in these articles. How about just focusing on the great achievement this man has done.

Congrats to him and his journey.
I can see where the skin is an issue. A friend of mine had gastric by-pass surgery and although the weight is gone, the skin remains. It is an issue for her as well.
Last year there was a push within United Healthcare to cover skin removal as part of covering some of the by-pass surgeries.
I have read there is a difference between GLP-1 weight loss and natural weight loss (carnivore, etc, etc, ) as with GLP-1 there is a lot of muscle mass lost.
Hopefully this guy finds some resolution as he has put in the work and i would hope for him to get all the physical rewards as well as both the mental and emotional rewards as well.
