And that was one of our observations and topics of discussion. The people promoting this sugar diet are already super lean. They don't have much fat to lose. In addition, they are super active. If you chugged sugar and then hit the gym and pushed your body to the limit for hours at a time, you will be burning all that up immediately and blood sugar levels will probably remain low, or return to low very quickly. But most people looking to lose weight are not going to put in that kind of effort, and so all the sugar has nowhere to go.

Sirloin steaks last night. Less fatty than the NY strips but at least the wife doesn't complain, lol. I melt down butter and dip the steaks in it as I eat to make up for the lost fat.

Better slow down on the greens there, buddy Awesome! Glad to hear you're still doing great!

We start in 10 minutes. Hope to see you there. The StreamYard link to join us onscreen is in the first post in this topic.... https://carnivoretalk.com/topic/1337-monday-night-live-streams-how-you-can-watch-andor-be-a-guest-with-bob-geezy/ We're still reusing the same link each week, so far.

Correlation does not equal causation. A lot of these associations between meat and these diseases are from studying people who indulged in major poor habits and eating choices. They overate, ate junk food, smoked, drank alcohol, had that meat on a big fat bun covered in sugary sauces or seed oil based dressings.... but it's the meat that was the problem? Yeah, right [sarcasm]. Some of it is so easily explainable it should be an embarrassment to the medical and scientific community.... Just eat meat and your bowel movements become less frequent. It must be that meat rots in your colon, lol. Just eat meat and your red blood cells live longer, slightly raising your a1c. Meat must cause diabetes, lol.

This happens because there is someone who was sick and unhealthy eating the standard American diet with all it's ultra-processed junk food, and they changed their ways. Whether they adopted the carnivore diet, vegan diet, keto diet, or Mediterranean diet, they improved their situation. Now they are an evangelizer. We're no different when we also preach a carnivore or carnivore-centric carb-controlled diet. I'm happy to see anyone making changes to improve their health. Like Dr. Berry says, at least our vegan brothers and sisters are actually thinking about what they are putting in their mouths. It's a start (one that often leads them to carnivore eventually).

I second this. Carb Manager is perfect for low carb, keto, and carnivore diets. The other apps like MyFitnessPal and LoseIt are okay, but Carb Manager has built-in goals and settings for various carb-controlled diet plans.

There's a reason we say, "don't count calories" and that is because our target audience is usually big and fat and/or suffers from chronic autoimmune conditions. All we are focused on it healthy eating and healing. The fat and protein from carnivore foods are satiating. You can fill up on these and actually make it to your next meal without starving and reaching for a snack. And then, if you are part of this big and fat audience, you have a big barrel of tallow hanging on your belly, butt, and thighs. Your body will metabolize this fat and absorb the protein from the connective tissue holding all that fat in place. The result is, your not hungry as often, and you find that you can actually skip a meal, and eat only twice a day, or maybe even once a day. Some are amazed that they can fast for several days. Now as you get close to an ideal weight, things slow down. When you had a bigger body, it required more resources to keep that big body fueled and you had a higher basal metabolic rate. Now you have a smaller body, and it doesn't require as much. So yes, you may have to make adjustments in how often you eat, how much you eat, and how often you work out.

I get it. My innermost desire is to help people and most of what I like to do revolves around that in some way. Someone can say "I'm depressed and have no purpose in life", and I have scriptures that encouraged me and principles I live by based on what they say that makes me happy and complete. Most people are like "Nah, not interested". Someone can say "I'm stuck in poverty with no way forward", and I can offer them a job or to teach them some skills. They would either prefer to sit on the couch or quit after a short while. Someone can say "I'm fat, sick, and have all these illnesses and conditions", and I can tell them about how a proper human diet has helped me. They would rather keep eating the junk. A lot of people like to cry and complain. Very few are motivated to make changes until it's almost too late. I've got relatives and friends that say "That's just me" or "I can't change" or "That's the way God made me" and none of that is true. It's just the path of least resistance. You have to work for what you want.

This is typically a symptom you deal with during the adaptation/transition period of 2 weeks to 2 months. Mine was closer to 2 months. I either didn't have to go for days (up to 9 days at one point) and then suddenly I could bend over and put out a house fire. Eventually everything returned to normal. Some say macros could play a role. For some who were avoiding fat most of their lives, it takes time for the body to ramp up bile production and get that gall bladder functioning properly again.

I'm not a big OS geek. I learn what I need to understand to get things done. My laptop is Windows and it's a Microsoft Surface Studio. My phone is Android running the Microsoft Launcher. My server is Apache, and I know just enough to keep the site up and running most of the time.

How long have you been running Linux? Did you just start?

It can. Obviously when people exercise vigorously, the body first uses up glycogen stores (if any) and then starts relying on ketone bodies. The more ketones your body uses for energy, the higher the ketosis readings will likely be. However, they may read higher than they actually are, because dehydration and the loss of electrolytes can affect these readings.

It's literally the waiting game while your body adjusts to the new lifestyle. This usually takes 2 weeks to 2 months depending on what your diet was like before. The gas and bloat should eventually vanish and almost be a thing of the past. The number 2's will be less frequent overall. It seems odd and initially feels like constipation when you're used to going at least once or more each day. Those will get to the point where you'll span multiple days at a time before going again, because carnivore foods are almost 100% utilized and don't produce waste. You have to decide on your level of strictness and commit to it. Obviously wine and pasta have to go. But you may decide that a variety of seasonings are still okay for you, as well as olive oil, etc. And this is where you might want to even remove seasonings for a while, like 30, 60, or 90 days, just in case an antinutrient or plant defense chemical is behind whatever it is you're trying to heal. The carnivore diet makes a great tool as an elimination diet. Be strict for 90 days. Then, if you want to experiment, slowly and gradually add back in one thing at a time and test it for several days or weeks before adding the next thing back. This way you can isolate if your body reacts negatively to a particular food or food group.

Welcome @lesliedean :) The Carnivore Diet by Dr. Baker is good. Even easier reading is Lies My Doctor Told Me by Dr. Ken Berry. His book isn't entirely carnivore oriented though. The Carnivore Code by Paul Saladino is chock full of excellent information, but it's very research/study heavy. Very deep. And welcome @LalaH Steak and Butter Gal definitely gets an honorary mention. So does Nutrition with Judy, MyZeroCarbLife (Kelly Hogan), and several doctors in this space have YouTube channels -> Ken Berry, Shawn Baker, Robert Kiltz, Anthony Chaffee, etc.

That carnivore bread looks intriguing. I had my fish last night. Still slacking on the picture taking, lol.

Pineapple on pizza was okay. Nothing special. I prefer spicy over sweet, so my typical pizza toppings were bacon, banana peppers, tomato, and feta cheese sprinkles, plus artichoke hearts of they had them. I admittedly miss pizza, but I just lack self-control. I WILL eat the whole pie, no matter how stuffed I am half way through it. I can't stop. If I were to treat myself to a pizza like meal again, it would be using the fat boy crust with almond flour, eggs, and shredded cheese. It was a decent replica, and I posted about it on here a couple years ago. Alternatively, I might do a search for a carnivore pizza crust, because carnivore recipes have come a long way in the last couple years.

Stalls happen. Dr. Berry will often say that it doesn't qualify as an actual weight-loss plateau unless it's been 90 days will no change in weight. And then, we have to start looking at what we can do. Is there any carb creep? Did we start snacking or eating extra meals? Are we eating before bed? Have we been drinking or increased drinking artificially sweetened beverages? Have we almost but not quite reached our goal weight? (the last stretch is stubborn). Are we eating too lean and not enough fat? Can we start doing exercises, even if it's just squats or walking around the house? Can we cut out dairy? Can we try intermittent fast, OMAD, or extended fasting? Etc. And then beyond lifestyle changes, we could check for thyroid issues and check where your sex hormones happen to be.

Likely ALL of that is (poor) diet related. High carb high sugar diet brought back the weight, made you insulin resistant, and is likely the cause in the rise of your triglycerides. Your eGFR indicates you are on the cusp of Stage 3a Chronic Kidney Disease. You had success before on a keto-carnivore diet, and you can have success again. I would make returning to and sticking to a proper human diet (carnivore or carnivore-centric keto/ketovore) your primary goal. Yes, cholesterol may go up. We do not worry about that. Trigs usually drop dramatically, but in my case they actually went up because of my kidney disease. I no longer recommend fenofibrate. I was on it for a year, and it tanked my kidneys, and I was deep into stage 5 renal failure for a while. I am currently reversing the damage done. If you remain on fenofibrate, get blood labs regularly and watch that creatinine and eGFR. If creatinine rises and eGFR comes down, get off if it immediately. Those trigs might go up during active weight loss but will eventually come down when you reach a goal weight and remain weight stable for several months. Omega-3 supplementation (fish oil) has been known to help lower trigs. I should have recognized the adverse effects of fenofibrates such as muscle twitching, late night leg cramps, and more, but I passed it off as an electrolyte imbalance due to my kidneys. I don't take fenofibrate nor any electrolytes anymore and I am fine. But you want to eat fatty meat, not lean meat. In the absence of carbs, fat is your energy, and your goal is to become fat adapted. The vegetables are optional. Either eliminate them altogether or only eat the low carb cruciferous kind while weight loss and healing are your goals. Later in life you can occasionally treat yourself/toy with a few more single-ingredient plants or fruits, but you have goals to reach first and one of them is getting the addiction to carbs and sweet tasting things under control. So my experience with fenofibrate ended in a nightmare. There is a part of me that wants to take the video down, but at the same time the explanation of what's happening in the body and everything else is still good information. Now I would do diet first. Today I only take meds for blood pressure and that's it. My LDL varies between 200 and 300 and I am not worried. My trigs were up to 2887 at their highest as you know from the video. Fenofribrate brought them down to about 555. And believe it or not, I just tested again 2 days ago after being off fenofibrate since last November (6 months now) and my trigs were 222, proving they would have come down on their own eventually (I do take fish oil). Yes, they say high trigs increases your "risk" of heart disease, but I am still alive and well. "Risk" is relative and so much goes into "risk". Most people who have high trigs eat candy, cakes, cookies, pies, chips, donuts, and other high carb junk foods. But that's not me. My trigs are high for an entirely different reason (most likely that I spill lipoprotein lipase in my urine due to my CKD). So were my trigs still a relative higher "risk". Maybe. I'm not so sure. Now with that said, I know people who take fenofibrate with no issues at all, such as my father. And I know doctors who take statins. For example, Dr. Ford Brewer takes a very low dose rosuvastatin, not for it's LDL lowering effects, but because it helps keep down inflammation. Sure there is a time and a place for these things, but I personally believe that most medications should be temporary, not lifelong, and one's goal is to get to the root cause and fix the issue, which is usually diet and nutrition.

I wouldn't worry too much yet. Worry and stress will raise it even more, lol. But seriously, blood pressure is expected to go up as we age. In adolescents, the systolic pressure is expected to be between 112 and 128, and the diastolic pressure to be between 66 and 80. As you age this is likely to creep into the 130's (top number). This is the truth right here. The AHA recently lowered their guidelines and started saying under 120/80 is optimal. Before it was 140/90. Interestingly, the American Association of Family Physicians (AAFP) still sets 140/90 as the target for treating hypertension, and even states that lowering it to 135/85 saw no additional benefits. Hypertension - Clinical Practice...HypertensionAccess evidence-based guidelines for managing high blood pressure in adults, developed by the Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC-8) and endorsed by the AAFP.
