old pic of me when I started carnivore in 2021~
before I knew most sausages are full of garbage lol.

True that. I agree that it doesn't, and also that it's impossible to test.
Problem #1 is food frequency questionaries are not reliable by any means.
Problem #2 is these meat eating survey participants probably bring along a host of confounders, like eating processed grains, sugars, smoking, being a couch potato, etc.
And then it's worth noting that there IS a difference between processed meat and fresh meat. But how much difference and how important is the difference? According to Dr. Ken Berry, meat is meat, and the sodium nitrate in processed meat is nothing to fear so go ahead and enjoy your bacon. He even says you could do a carnivore diet effectively on just hot dogs and bologna if that is all you could afford.

My aura is increasing with every passing year thanks to carnivore.

diet water LOL

A whole chicken for breakfast

6 bomboclat eggs and 8 slices of bacon.
Simply delicious.
Sadly I ran out of butter and the only thing we had left was stork "butter".
Turns out it is sunflower oil margarine.
F that.
I ain't having seed oils.

A King's Meal - 15 eggs fried in butter and 500g fried mince meat.
I'm stuffed.
So delicious but wow the meat sweats are insane.
Feels amazing.

Fancied a few eggs fried in butter and a fried bacon slice.
Pretty proud of this.
No microwave was used.
Tasted amazing.

The "research" that claims to show red meat causes cancer is usually a questionnaire and they don't separate meat from processed meat.
It's pseudoscience masquerading as science that the average Joe believes is real science so they get fooled.
There is no link between red meat consumption and increased risk of cancers of any kind.
(It's impossible to do actual science for any diet anyway because you'd need to test with identical twins and control every variable in their life except for their diets. That is obviously not ever going to be done due to ethical reasons.)

Finally made something even Gordon Ramsay would appreciate - 10 eggs fried in butter
No microwave used for this one.

Microwaved cheese + butter = dairygasm.
Never thought about combining my melted cheese with butter but my word was it so good.

500 grams of beef patties and 3 scrumptious eggs.

And now some cheese straight out of the packet lol:

In search of a path out of a soggy, mud filled bottom my buddy was backing up and slipped of an embankment.
Just about two hours later we had him on all fours and ready to ride again.

Since you've already had a bypass (in 2022, which I assume was one or more blocked arteries), I can understand that you would worried about this possibly happening again.
But with all the weight lost, BP normalizing, and more, I would focus on the positive. You've removed many of the factors that cause inflammation, including arterial inflammation. That's a good thing for sure.

Interesting. Have you tried baking small, thin squares of cheddar in the oven until they are crisp? They are like crackers.

So one of the things I love to do is go to a mainstream subreddit and use what I call the Trojan horse strategy.
I act like an innocent naive person and ask a seemingly normal question and slap some truth in there but not in a way that will get the post nuked.
Why?
Because it gets people thinking and the reach of these massive subreddits are insane.
You can't go in all guns blazing or they will 100% remove your post.
I get a good laugh at the comments but sometimes the urge to correct the misinformation is strong but I must resist.
This is the latest post I made.

Wow.
So painful to read some of the comments too:


Being on carnivore for 5+ years is both a blessing and a curse because of the sheer propaganda at work on the masses.
The post currently has almost 2k views so even if 10% start thinking about fat and protein being the only two essential macronutrients then that's 200 people who will hopefully ponder about it more and potentially find carnivore.
Worth it any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
PS: Some of these comments are amazing ideas for YouTube shorts vids as well.

Vynith, what type of cheese did you use?

Microwaved bacon because I was lazy.

I think it was "Butter Bob" (another Bob) who coined the phrase "Butter will make your pants fall off" lol

Interesting. I've made salami/pepperoni chips in the microwave before, so I guess bacon would work too, lol

I have been using Suno AI for making songs. I find that the Suno AI that helps write lyrics to be less than stellar, so I do not use that option. However, the actual music made by Suno sounds quite good.
I have used ChatGPT to help me write lyrics. To have it work correctly, I have to supply a very detailed prompt and then revise the lyrics it generates. In the end, I get a song I like that I consider I wrote since the idea and much of the lyrics are mine.
BTW - I have taken the exact same prompt and fed it to Suno, Gemini and GPT. I find that GPT gives me the best results for what I am looking for when it comes to 'starting' lyrics, so that is the AI I use.
If you want to check out some of my songs Qapla | Join me on Suno

I've been in a few bands in my youth and both back then and throughout my adulthood I have written songs and have tried to record them myself, playing all the instruments, etc. I was just thinking I could probably use some of these Music AI services to finally finish them, lol.

Microwaved bacon because I was lazy.

I'll have to watch it.
Strange usually YouTube videos embed properly.
Ok yeah you have to press enter after you've inserted the link and the embed will show properly.

@Bob I found that to be the case for me as well. When I was trying to hit the protein target I let the fat content drop some. The combination of eating more and the fat caused me to gain weight. After I stopped hitting the target my protein to fat ratio was still off and even eating less the weight stayed the same or picked up a pound here and there.
Whoulda' thunk butter is a weight loss food? LOL
