    Interesting. I don't have a good weight-lifting program at the moment, so I am going on what I have heard others say. There's an initial drop in strength (can't lift as much or do as many reps before fatiguing) but after a few weeks the strength and energy return. Such anecdotes align well with what we know about that initial adaptation period when you switch from carb-laden SAD diet to a ketogenic or carnivore-centric diet. I'm listening to a book right now ("The Unholy Trinity") that even talks about benefits of working out in a fasted state, towards the end of your intermittent fasting period, and THEN eating, for optimal results. Probably because you'll be in ketosis and running on your steady stream of ketones derives from your own body fat. The only thing I can think of, is to load up on fat before a workout. Not too stuffed to lose the motivation to exercise (food coma, lol!), perhaps an hour or so prior to give your body time to break down that energy. But then I've heard others report similarly to you and chose to go more "animal-based", at least on workout days.

    I went to the local butcher the other night and got me some grass fed NY Strips. I was hoping to get some liver but they were actually sold out. But I did get something unique - Deer bratwursts that have a touch of jalapeno and cherries in them. So they have a couple carbs per link as a result but the combination sounded very intriguing. I will be trying them tomorrow.

    Holiday specials are times for stocking up. The best deals usually happen around Memorial Day and Independence Day here in the US. Ribeye will sometimes drop to half price.

    And this is to be expected at first. But in time, your strength and energy for such workouts should return.

    Welcome aboard Matt. This would make sense. Since trigs are basically energy floating around in your blood, an exercise regimen should help use them up/drive them down. I plan to experiment with this soon after I get my exercise room all set up.

    We can only dream, lol. Welcome aboard!

    I moved these to the "What did you eat today?" topic, instead of the "Adaptive Glucose Sparing" topic.

    I need to add a "Wow!" reaction. I am really curious how a house would have been constructed back in the 1400-1500's. That's cool.

    Tonight is NY Strips. I'm redundant, lol. However, Taco Bell brought back the Mexi-Melt, which I used to absoutely adore. So I made a carnivore-friendly carnivore-ish version at home the other night using Egg Life Wraps and a little pico de gallo.

    Old habits die hard. We are creatures who like routine. We can establish a new routine, but it takes effort. That is why "going on a diet", "starting a diet", and "sticking to the diet" in the beginning is difficult. But, in time it becomes your new routine, and it becomes second nature. Keto-carnivore was a challenge at the beginning. Now it's just who I am.

    Awesome to see that list of achievements from being carnivore. I can relate to just about every one of them, including the thin in the face. I've always been fat with a rounded, fuller face, but when I lost the weight I thought I started to look... "old", lol. Grew my beard to cover that up, lol.

    That is impressive. It's strange thinking that it was up and running for around 900 years. Over here in the U.S. you have a company here and there that may have been around since the 1800's, but even that's rare.

    So for reference, back at the beginning, any small amount of carbs in the form of sugar (milk, processed food, fruit) would make me crave more. I didn't have this problem with keto-friendly vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. I started with keto and then transitioned into carnivore in May 2023. In October, my wife baked pumpkin bread and wanted me to just "taste" it to see what I thought (it was my mom's recipe). She knew I wouldn't have a whole slice, but I agreed to just one bite. I hadn't had sugar or grain in 5 months. After taking a bite, something came over me that I never felt before. I can only imagine it is the same feeling that a crack/heroin addict feels, because all of a sudden I was STARVING, CRAVING, and JONESING for MORE. I did not give in, but I went downstairs and at a bunch of meat and cheese trying to calm the appetite. It was unreal, surreal feeling. It was addiction. I still had it even being 5 months off the carbs. Today, I am over the addiction. I don't have this reaction anymore whenever I have just a "taste" of something. So the moral of the story is, yes, it takes time. But in time, you will conquer and rise above those cravings from your former life.
