Yesterday we threw a graduation party for my son, and we had about 100 people in attendance whom we fed. We had a meat and cheese tray. ✔️ We had baked chicken ✔️ We had an italian baked chicken (it was lemon and herb and absolutely delicious) ✔️ We had a fruit tray. (passable) We also had a salad bowl. (less passable due to ranch dressing). I partook of the above. We also served... Mac n Cheese. 👎 Rigatoni. 👎 Pizza. 👎 Cupcakes, cookies, and a cake. 👎 I did not partake of those.

Welcome aboard @JDM :) Could you clarify that statement for me. I am not sure which way I should read it. Do you mean... 1) "I'm aiming for 30% protein and finding it difficult to consume more protein"? 2) "I'm finding that I am eating around 30% protein, but I would like to get that back down to 20% protein"? If you are trying to increase protein, then you can strategically add in leaner meats, such as chicken and seafood, and/or reduce the fat you cook or garnish with. If you are trying to decrease protein, and in turn increase fat, then you can rely more on fatty cuts of meat and make generous use of animal fats (or alternatively olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil which are not seed oils). Basically, you will want to gradually be filling your plate with more fatty meat and less low carb veggies until you are 100% carnivore. But remember that ketovore and keto are also on the proper human diet spectrum. Unless you are intentionally wanting to do carnivore as an elimination diet to try and determine if a certain plant or family of plants is causing you health issues, there is no harm in "cheating" with keto here and there when you feel like it.

While many of us found instant success on the carnivore diet and were blown away by the results, this doesn't happen for everybody. Some individuals don't see immediate benefits, but experience them over time. Certain people will get frustrated and give up, claiming that the carnivore diet doesn't work. Join us for this live stream as we discuss why some people fail on the carnivore diet. We want to hear your experiences, your struggles, and how you overcame them. LET'S DO A VIDEO TOGETHER!

Welcome aboard @Laurie Scharfenkamp and thank you for your kind words of encouragement for @1ino ❤️

You've only been carnivore for 9 months. The factors that led to your heart attack have been accumulating over a lifetime. Your recent switch to a carnivore diet simply cannot take the blame here. There is some connection between saturated fat intake and LDL. You could make use of olive oil and avocado oil. While not technically "carnivore", these oils are not seed oils and are generally accepted by the keto-carnivore community.

Yes, coffee does go right through me too. In fact, coffee was the primary cause of the ulcerative colitis I suffered through for over a decade. I won't touch it now. But, I was a POT per day drinker. Most people can drink it just fine, and don't drink nearly as much as I was. Yes indeed. I love shrimp and lobster. There's a local seafood restaurant that specializes in a seafood boil that I like to visit occasionally for my seafood fix. Just like @Geezy said though, you would want to avoid anything battered and breaded and deep fried.

My sincere condolences to you and your family.

3 lbs! Wow! I should fast all day and then see if I can rise to the challenge, lol :D

A difficult balance, imo. When my whites get crispy, my yolks are starting to solidify also.

Yes that can happen to every one of us. There's only so much bile on hand to help break down fat during the digestion process. If you eat more fat then you have bile at the ready, it will go right through you. As a general rule, if you struggle with constipation add more fat. If your problems are the exact opposite, back off the fat a little.

I'm not sure why they highlighted the A1C as it's still not in the pre-diabetic range. The LDL is marked high. Have you been losing weight recently while on carnivore? LDL is stored in adipose tissue and naturally goes up during weight loss. It will return to baseline, or your new baseline, after a few months of remaining weight stable. It's not a surprise that they are pushing a statin. That is entirely up to you. I think it's worth noting that Dr. Ford Brewer takes a low dose statin for it's anti-inflammatory properties. And Dr. Berry is open to the idea of prescribing a statin to someone who had already had a previous heart attack. He even says it's alright to compromise on low dose statin, like 5 mg of Resuvastatin, just to shut your doctor up, lol. Many of us have LDL lower than yours. Mine is a 300, I think most people here average around 200. What we know for sure you do not need to do is get it to 100 or less.

I'm not going to point the finger at anyone. Things were said, and the responses to each other were understandable. We're all human. They got to read them before I edited them. They just can't remain publicly visible. Neither party should be vilified nor considered to be more guilty than the other. Let's move along.

Since he is still eating the fat on the steak, he's probably more of a high protein, moderate fat diet. This sort of resembles what Dr. Baker does. Of course, we are all concerned about a high protein, zero carb, low fat diet, due to the risk of "rabbit starvation". But remember @Angel SAR isn't doing carnivore, but rather keto. I imagine ultimately his is in a "caloric deficit".
