    Is she eating yet? Or is this just behavioral improvement being off the carbs?

    Because of my ulcerative colitis (now cured), I probably have more colonoscopy experience than anybody here, lol. Geoff is right on par. There is very little waste eating a carnivore diet. Almost all the fat, protein, and nutrients get absorbs and used by your body. It will take some time before you have to defecate again. My disease had me going at least a dozen times a day. It was amazing, yet strange, when that slowed down to once or twice a week.

    @Geezy has had some heart peculiarities. He was kind enough to let me interview him here...
  4. Bob
    And he was definitely on to something. This jives with the claim that humans are hypercarnivores, meaning that we get more than 70% of our diet from meat.

    Lol. They are? "They calculated, approximately, a single day of increase in life expectancy for each year of taking a statin. Slightly more in secondary prevention, slightly less in primary (people who have not previously had a heart attack or a stroke). The main take away message I believe, is the following. Statins do not prevent fatal heart attacks and strokes. They can only delay them. They delay them by about one or two days per year of treatment. For those who have read my books you will know that I have regularly suggested we get rid of the concept of ‘preventative medicine’. We need to replace it with the concept of ‘delayative medicine’. You cannot stop people dying. You can only make them live longer. How much longer is the key question. With statins this question has been answered. You can, to be generous, add a maximum of two days per year to life expectancy. Which means that if you were to take a statin for thirty years you could expect to live about two months longer. (Possibly three, more likely one). Assuming, and this is a big assumption, that none of the trials done have been in any way biased towards statins. Even though every single one was funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Further assuming that any benefits seen in the trials will continue for the next twenty-five years."

    Have you been weight-stable for the last 3 months? Or if you are still losing weight, is it at a much slower pace? There is LDL stored in adipose tissue (i.e. fat) that gets released into the blood stream when you lose weight, causing a spike. Eventually it gets cleared out and your numbers go back down. I initially had LDL around 92. Went I started losing weight on carnivore, it spiked to the upper 300's. Now they sit comfortably at 208 according to the last draw. Correct. Ancel Keys. Sugar and grain lobbyists. Pointing the finger at saturated fat and cholesterol. Especially in regard to lipids. I had a Doctor appointment today. He ordered up a BMP just so we can see if my kidneys function is improving having gone off the prescription he had me on that was killing me. When I said I wasn't fasting he said he wasn't ordering a lipid panel but he could if I wanted him too. I simply said "Honestly, I could care less about my lipid markers" lol.

    That pepper looks to be a bit spicy That was me too. Prediabetes, CKD, Colitis, memory issues, brain fog, trouble breathing, etc. Finally I was like "I gotta make a change".

    Is it lactose intolerance? If so, there are a number of cheeses that you can enjoy with little to no lactose at all. Cream cheese is often well-tolerated because it is low in lactose, about 2g per ounce. A sudden change in diet is difficult for anybody, especially a 7 year old addicted to sweets. This may need to be done gradually. The elimination of grains, seed oils, and refined sugar (i.e. processed food) is your first objective. Most people will do well just eating what nature provides, basically animal products, fruits, and vegetables (especially veggies that are in reality also fruits). On the other hand, she will eat when she is hungry enough, and if she has any substantial belly/body fat she then she has plenty of fuel in reserve. But even so, we want to see her get proper nutrition.

    You haven't suffered in a White Castle then, lol. I used to hate McDonald's. But now that I am a carnivore, I think their plain quarter pound patties are the best among fast food establishments. I used to eat Wendy's but now I can't. McDonald's has won my tastebuds over.
  10. Bob
    Not here the USA. It's 100% pure beef over here with no fillers. The quarter pounder should be.... a quarter pound

    Facebook has always been a thief. They have never really done anything original. It started as a MySpace clone. Google+ came along, and offer Circles. Facebook steals and adds "Friends Lists". Google+ starts Communities. Facebook steals and starts "Facebook Groups". Google+ offers Video Conferencing. Facebook adds video conferencing to Messenger. Facebook tries to steal video from YouTube. Snapchat introduces Stories. Facebook steals and adds "Reels" to Instagram. TikTok becomes a thing. Facebook modifies "Reels" to function the same and adds it to Facebook too. Musk buys Twitter. Facebook starts Threads, basically a Twitter/X clone. Musk champtions free speech on X. And now Zuckerberg is promising free speech on Facebook.

    What's in the burger patties? Are they prepackaged? Is there an ingredients list? Most ground beef, at least here in the USA, is 100% beef with no fillers. There are 0 carbs or just trace carbs. You have to portion it out and make your own patties. But in the prepacked burgers you might find some fillers - grain, oils, corn starch, etc. We normally want to avoid these things. Eggs also have trace carbs, but that's fine. A carnivore diet is low carb, but not necessarily carb free. There are a myriad of factors that can cause a weight loss stall. Carbs creeping into your diet. Overeating. Eating before going to sleep. Undereating and your body slows down metabolism as a survival mechanism because it thinks there is a famine. Hormone imbalance. Thyroid or other medical issues. And more. All we can do is make suggestions on where to look and what to try. But it's YOUR N=1 experiment, and YOUR N=1 results.

    If it was me, I would keep it up, and keep monitoring, and trying little tweaks here and there (like adding fatty fish for the Omega-3's etc). Your HDL and Trig levels are not yet totally awful, although I understand the cause for concern. Most people see trigs drop, and then we often here about the Trig:HDL ratio being ideal at 2:1 or better for a lower risk of cardiac disease. Imagine how I feel sometimes when mine hover around 700 and spiked to 3000 at one point. I'm still ticking though Keto is known to help improve PCOS. Over time you become more insulin sensitive, your hormones may balance out, and more. Maria Emmerich, a keto-carnivore advocate, used to have PCOS, but now it's cured. I believe I've heard the same about Kelly Hogan, who initially gained weight her first year of carnivore before she started to lose weight. She stuck to it because she knew she was healing and was experiencing benefits. At the same time, a clean keto/vore or animal-based diet are still proper human diets. You could try reintroducing a vegetable or fruit one at a time every other week or so to see if it causes bloating or other reactions, and likewise test to see how it impacts your lipid markers.

    McDonald's invites journalists into their facilities to observe the process of preparing their burgers before it's been ground up all the way to when it is packaged and ready to ship to demonstrate that it is indeed 100% real beef.

    Which is more than you are consuming now. Interesting. Those are healthy fats. Which lends some credence to the high protein theory. I can see why the functional medicine doctor suggested it. Since obviously weight loss wasn't your "why" for starting carnivore, what was?
  20. Bob
    Carnivore has been a major game changer in my life, and a huge eye-opener into human nutrition. But overall, this dietary choice has worked wonders for me, to the point where it seems almost miraculous. and more people need to know about the benefits that can come from applying it. There are so many overweight and obese individuals out there as well as those who suffer from chronic disease and auto-immune conditions and the reality is, the power is in their hands to greatly improve their condition, and in many cases fix it completely.

    I came across this doctor named Ken Berry. He’s a big proponent of keto. He teaches a “clean keto” which is basically all the meat you can eat as well as some low carb veggies, and says not to buy into that net carb garbage. He basically says stay under 20g of carbs a day to lose weight and for maintenance you could have up to 100g. No seed oils, no sugar, no grains. Just meat, maybe some cheese, a little low carb veg, a few berries or a few nuts.

    Do you wanna go back to 118? Intermittent fasting, extended fasting, and calorie/fat reduction would accomplish that. What your functional medicine doctor said is just one of many possibilities. I was told the same thing by a two popular carnivore doctors. I upped my fat intake and my trigs continued to skyrocket. You either manufacture your own trigs, or you consume them with your meal. The fat you eat contains triglycerides. Triglycerides are used for energy. High triglycerides are a surplus of energy for one reason or another, either (1) over consumption, (2) over production, or (3) not utilizing them, or (4) have a disease such as kidney, liver, or thyroid, or (5) have a lipid disorder prohibiting them from being metabolized or broken down. You can be tested for thyroid, liver, kidney issues, and hypertriglyceridemia. Other conditions such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome should heal over time with a proper diet. Things you can control include lower consumption and increase exercise. Omega-3's are shown to be beneficial, so maybe swap out some of that beef and lamb for some fatty fish a couple times a week or so.

    That's an 82:18 fat protein ratio. Impressive. I have a hard time getting that much fat. The general recommendation is to aim for 70:30 fat to protein. What is your target/ideal weight? As a general rule of thumb, you want to aim for 1g of protein per pound (U.S.A. measurements) of ideal body weight, and likewise 1g of fat per pound of ideal body weight (1g:1g fat to protein is the basic equivalent of 70:30 fat to protein in terms of calories). For example, I want to weigh 160 lbs. 160g of protein and 160g of fat in calories equals 1440-fat:640-protein which is a 69:31 (basically 70:30) ratio. Let us know your results after your next blood draw. If your trigs continue to go up, the added fat obviously didn't help. You can then test another adjustment in your macros by lowering your fat and increasing your protein. Then after the next blood draw, compare. Have you been tested for renal function, liver function, and thyroid function? How about sex hormone levels?

    We're sharing the love, lol. The last couple years were mild. But January 2025 has been brutal to us so far up here in Ohio, and we're only 10 days in.

    I just watched the Zuck video. Seems like they are learning something, lol. He admits to taking his cues from Musk and X. Whodathunkit!?
