Carnivore diet seems crazy, but…
Bob replied to tracker1's topic in General Health and Wellness Discussion
Yes, this does require making your mind over, because meat and saturated fat has been demonized for so long, and continues to be. But think about it like this. Humans have been hunting and eating meat since time immemorial. Obesity and metabolic disease is only a recent post 1900 A.D. phenomenon. If you are of the mindset to eat only what would have been naturally available to you or your ancestors, meat is at the top of the list. Fruits and vegetables were seasonal, but hunting was done year round. I felt the same way. You get used to it. And now it is my preference. I rarely deviate from this way of eating. I might occasionally have a piece of fruit or a salad, but now that I have experienced majors benefits from carnivore, I pretty much desire to stay pretty true and faithful. I've sworn off refined sugar and grains for life, but I might deviate with some plant matter, especially in social occasions where I don't want to be *that guy* who is making things difficult, lol. Here in the USA, this isn't a concern. There are federal regulations that requires a wash-out period. If for some reason, an animal needs an antibiotic, just like we might when we get an infection, that animal cannot be slaughter for at least 2 weeks after treatment. This is to give the animal time for it's liver and kidneys to detoxify it from the antibiotic that was given it. It's the law. Welcome aboard Chuck! You should check out Duma's Meats -

What Did You Eat Today?
Bob replied to Geezy's topic in Carnivore, Meat-based Keto, & Ketovore Support
I had sausage patties earlier, and then later after I got home I had some sugar free beef jerky that I had ordered from Amazon. Tonight is Open Mic Night, so I will have my usually beef patties, bacon, and cheese, with a single shot of Angel's & Envy Kentucky bourbon.- 699 replies

What Did You Eat Today?
Bob replied to Geezy's topic in Carnivore, Meat-based Keto, & Ketovore Support
Today I successfully intermittently fasted for the first time since November (I think). I ate at noon while at work, leftover burger patty with mozzarella, a sausage link, a couple hard boiled eggs, and some sugar free beef jerky. And then I didn't eat again until my 20oz NY Strip at dinner time about 8pm.- 699 replies

What Did You Eat Today?
Bob replied to Geezy's topic in Carnivore, Meat-based Keto, & Ketovore Support
Breakfast was sausage. Lunch I had some beef bologna in an egg life wrap, and for dinner I just had 2 half pound burgers with some shredded cheese. The shredded cheese is "carolina reaper and ghost pepper" cheese. My gut has been bothering me all week since I opened it and I am starting to think this is the reason. Thank goodness it's almost all used up. Well since we're sitting at the confessional, I did have an apple to hold me over till dinner. I fixed my rear brakes today, and then took the dog to the dog park because she was restless. I was a little hungry but wanted to get the park out of the way first before cooking.- 699 replies

I started falling apart in my mid 30's and it accelerated in my 40's. But I had ulcerative colitis really bad. I was told there was nothing I could do about it, no dietary changes required because diet had nothing to do with it. It was an auto-immune condition with an "unknown" cause - maybe it's genetic. After nearly a decade of suffering, I started looking into diet. I was drinking a pot of coffee in the morning, snacking on nuts and almonds throughout the day, and gorging on spinach-rich salads for lunch and sometimes dinner. Basically, I was a 24/7 oxalate imbiber. I quit coffee and my condition improved tremendously, and a couple years later I discovered carnivore and this summer I might legitimately be declared *cured* by my gastroenterologist. Needless to say, I have no respect for Big Food anymore and almost no faith in the healthcare system at present.

My most recent blood work results.

There's a feature in this software where I can 'expand' acronyms. It will underline them and then when you mouse over them you can see a pop up with the full meaning of the term. I should start adding some of the more popular ones -

Last night I had some beef bologna in an Egg Life Wrap with pepperjack cheese and some avocado mayo. It was late, so I didn't want a big meal. Today so far has been a repeat of yesterday. Eggs and sausage in the morning and then quarter pound beef patties for lunch. Dinner is still a few hours away yet.- 699 replies

On my labs, it says the range for "healthy LDL" is capped at 99, lol. Back in the day it used to be 300, then it has been gradually lowered with subsequent "studies" funded by the statin manufactures, from 250, to 200, to 150, etc. Basically, it's just a way to get more people as "subscribers" so they keep getting that residual income, because when you start a statin, you're on it for life. Same with blood pressure. Hypertension stage 1 used to start at 140/90. In 2017 several health organizations lowered it to 130/80 being the start of stage 1.

My most recent blood work results.
Bob replied to Geezy's topic in General Health and Wellness Discussion
Excellent. All those results look fantastic! Maybe. Mine is always 137 like clockwork. Over the last 5 years, it has never changed. I would agree with stopping your potassium supplementation. I have a topic on here called "Hyperkalemia" which is what you now have. My potassium levels were high due to a presription drug I take in combination with my CKD. I did Lion Diet for 30 days to get my potassium levels down because chicken breast and especially pork is high in potassium. You probably just need to cut back on the supplement. Over 6.0 and you might start noticing symptoms. A level over 7.0 can stop your heart. So, take this one a bit seriously. The theory here is that when you eat a carnivore-centric diet, your red blood cells live longer than the average 3 months, giving you this elevated reading. If you got the blood test in the morning, this could be the dawn phenomenon. Alternatively, since you fasted for 19 hours, you may have started gluconeogenesis (converting proteins into glucose). All in all, outside of the potassium, you're in good shape. I would gladly trade labs with you, lol -
You don't want to overdo it with liver. Not only is Vitamin A toxicity an issue, but I have heard that copper toxicity can also be an issue. One resouce suggests the following... Beef liver: from 18g to 59g for men and from 14g to 59g for women Lamb liver: from 12g to 41g for men and from 9g to 41g for women Pork liver: from 14g to 46g for men and from 11g to 46g for women Chicken liver: from 27g to 90g for men and from 21g to 90g for women

I don't notice any effects. I have cheese at my leisure. But if I have too much the stools will become like rocks. I don't drink milk. Occasionally, I will buy heavy whipping cream and make ice cream, but even that was like 6 months ago.

I've never made brown butter bites. It's another thing on my to-do list. I would like to bump my fat and lower my protein to ensure ketosis as I embark on my effort to lose my last 10 pounds - the most stubborn 10 pounds to try to lose, lol. Breakfast was 4 sausage patties and 4 eggs, and for lunch I went through McDonald's and got 4 quarter pound beef patties. It came to $6, which is pretty good for a pound of beef.- 699 replies

Can you recommend a good carnivore book?
Bob replied to BevG's topic in Diet News, Medical Research, & Health Reports
I am currently listening to The Carnivore Code by Paul Saladino. It's VERY science-based, deep research kind of material. I think you would like it. Shawn Baker has a book called The Carnivore Diet. It's sitting next to me at my desk but I haven't got to it yet. But he's one of the leading doctors in this way of eating.
