For starters, @Carnivorenewbie - welcome aboard! If you jumped straight from the standard American/Western diet to a strict carnivore diet headfirst, then yeah, the struggle will be real at first. Your body is craving glucose (sugar/carbs) for energy, because that is what it has been accustomed to. The acidity level, gut microbiome, and maybe even bile production will need to adjust to the new types of foods coming down the hatch. Some personality types can handle this sudden drastic change. The symptoms are nicknamed "the keto flu" which can last a few weeks. Of course, the keto flu can be avoided if you transition your diet gradually. First eliminate sugars, then grains, then seed oils, then fruits, then gradually lower even the low carb keto friendly vegetables, over the course of several weeks as you at the same time gradually increase your fatty meat portions. But if you've gone headfirst already and it's been a week, you should probably keep it up. Salt to taste. Take an electrolyte drink supplement. Feel free to eat 3 meals a day and snack (on carnivore friendly foods) in the beginning. As you become fat adapted, your appetite will wane and you notice that you always have energy available - not like Superman or anything, but in the absense of carbs coupled with becoming fat adapted, there are no more crashes to that of complete exhaustion. You CAN do this!

I used to be afraid of oysters, lol. My dad was big oyster kinda guy. He loved them. He had previously gotten me into sardines, so one day I went to the store and next to the sardines was a can of oysters. I bought them, took them home, gave it a go and.... YUCK! I was disgusted. This was probably aroudn 1995. Then a couple years ago right after I started my carnivore diet, we went to a seafood boil style restaurant where they had raw oysters on the half shell. He ordered a dozen, and I told him the story and he said "oh yes, those canned ones are terrible. You need to try one of these" and so I did, and.... OMG! it was heaven in my mouth! Now I get raw oysters on the half shell every time I go out and get seafood. I will eat it with the squeeze of lemon, or the hot sauce, or the horseradish, though. To me all those are seasonings which I am okay with. I wouldn't want ketchup or anything sugary though.

Interesting. I looked it up and yes indeed this seems to be a thing with ACV. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar can enhance the body's ability to absorb essential minerals from food, such as calcium and magnesium. Good tip! I would have tried this in 2024 when I was suffering terribly from late night leg cramps. My problem turned out to be a prescription drug I was on. Now that I stopped taking it my cramping and twitching issues have vanished.

One translation renders this as "put forth all earnest effort". It takes earnest effort to live a life of godly devotion - not a token effort, not a mild effort. Same with other aspects of your lifestyle (like diet, health, and nutrition). The effort has to be earnest. Not a token acknowledgement of simply knowing or "believing" what you must do. You have to actually do it. Jesus said something similar at Like 13:24 "Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able." You could say 'exert yourself vigorously to get into those old jeans, because many will seek to squeeze them on and button them around their waste, but many I tell you will not be able'

This was a nice article. I actually like Saladino, both his style and philosophy. I should subscribe to his newsletter.

Welcome back. You've seen success before. You're seeing it again. And you can continue to see it if you maintain your integrity and resolve. I'm alone on this health journey also. From time to time the wife will shape up and get on board just for a little while, lol. Over time though she has became a supporter, in that instead of trying to tempt me - she will actually stop me from cheating. She's seen the results and even heard the doctors comment on how well I am doing that she understands that my dietary choices are the key, indeed, and that my health depends on it. Someday her health will depend on it too, and then maybe we'll win her over completely, lol.

I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but the wife and I are in LOVE with steelhead trout. We're eating it once a week on the regular now.

So, in principle I would agree with her. I personally have a little issue with grains though. The Hebrew word "lechem" basically means food/sustenance and as to what type of food or sustenance that is depends on the context. For example, Adam and Eve were placed in a garden full of fruit trees that the Creator Himself had prepared for them. Upon expulsion, would they have even known what "bread (lechem)" was? Had they ever had to harvest the heads of grain (tall grasses), mill them, pulverize them, and bake them? Had they even had to figure out how to build a fire yet, let alone invent an oven? But to say "in the sweat of your face you will have to plant and eat food (lechem)" would make sense. What was originally provided for them in the garden was no longer available to them after their expulsion. Now they had to work for food (not necessarily bread). In other books of the Bible the word lechem refers to meat based on the context. It was quite a chore to grow, harvest, dry, seperate the wheat from the chaff, mill, and then bake, bread back then. People ate little of it. Likewise today, a little bread never killed anyone. But with industrialization and the advent of mass produced processed food, we can eat grains more than ever before, and it's taking a toll on our health.

My 2 year carniversary is on Monday. @Geezy and I as well as any of YOU who would like to join us will be live streaming publicly instead of holding a private Zoom. Don't be shy! Join us on air...

That's definitely a kid thing. Mine used to drive me nuts with their fear of textures. I would give them stuff that is delicious and I KNOW they like the taste of, but would work themselves into a tizzy with anxiety over textures. Thankfully as they have gotten older they have expanded their pallet.

Thanks for your input everyone. I think I will try some spam. ;)

I worked at Taco Bell when I was a young lad, and even afterwards could still eat there with a clean conscience. The beans however were kind of gross. They would come dehydrated and looked like dog kibble. You would add scalding hot water to rehydrate them and then add a giant scoop of solid fat into the mix and let it melt and stir it in. The fat looked like lard but it was either Crisco or corn shortening. Seed oil covered crushed seeds is basically what it is.

Just curious on what your take on Spam (in a can) is? Someone shared a picture of their breakfast over in the private PHD group, which consisted of 3 slices of fried spam and some eggs. I've never had spam, but have considered it. When I looked at the ingredients, I saw that it contained a little modified corn starch, likely as a binder. Does this bother anybody or is the amount simply trivial and not worth worrying about (much like the trace "sugar" in bacon)? SpamWhat is SPAM® Brand? | About SPAM® BrandEver wondered what is SPAM®?

Carnivore is saving me money on groceries. Back when I ate SAD, all the sauces, processed food, and junk ate at my wallet, particularly because it's expensive and eating that garbage just made me want to overeat more often with more of the same garbage. Meat and eggs on the other hand satiates me, and I am not constantly having my hand in some snack bag. Even when I was heavily focused on a fresh vegetable heavy ketogenic diet, much of the time these would spoil because it was easier to just indulge in some "keto" bread, tortillas, protein bars, etc. Carnivore is not only healthier for my body, it's healthier for my wallet as well.

I've entertained the idea of learning to ride a motorcycle. My wife isn't keen on the idea though. I have a friend who rides all the time, and he actually discouraged it on the basis that I am 49, and it would have been different if I had been riding since I was a teenager as it would be second nature. But being older, I would be more likely to have poorer reaction time or midjudge scenarios simply from lack of experience.

Yeah, getting enough protein is automatic, a 'no-brainer' if you will. I am always looking for more ways to get in adequate fat. Cheese was raising my phospherous too much - a situation I have to deal with because of my kidney disease. Recently I've become fond of butter bites.
