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.

Now there's a real northerner, lol 😄 Welcome aboard!

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?

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!? 🙂

Ah, I missed that in your first post where you said... Gaining weight isn't necessarily a bad thing. This could be from an improvement in hormonal balance and/or healing taking place. Do you track your calories and macros in a notebook or app like CarbManager? That data could help rule out eating too much in general, too much protein, eating right before bed, potential carb creep, eating too frequently or grazing/snacking throughout the day, etc. Are you consuming too much dairy? Are you relying too much on processed meats or convenience foods? Are you getting too much linoleic acid from commercial eggs, conventional chicken, and grain fed pork? It sounds like you're on top of it, but it's more useful to actually keep a log. Do you get adequate quality sleep? Are you on any medications? Are you a stress magnet? Have you been checked for auto-immune conditions? I understand the frustration. But there is a root cause. It's just a matter of finding it.

So the comment about the last couple weeks and you deviating line up. This could be related. How long did you deviate and how long have you been back on track with the plan? And if the tests are wrong because it's too soon and you're not excreting enough human chorionic gonadotrpin yet to be detected in the urine, this could be your answer too. It's also virus season for us having winter right now. You could have caught a bug. Too much fat, especially liquid fats, can cause loose stools. But since you haven't really changed your fat consumption (are you sure?) you should be fine. Maybe, but not likely..... https://www.healthline.com/health/diarrhea/instant-diarrhea-after-drinking-water Switching to keto/vore is a personal choice. For most that would be quite harmless. For some, it would depend on their individual and unique physiology and food sensitivities. You would want to remain carnivore-centric for sure. As far as how much should you eat? I would eat until I felt comfortably full. As long as your satisfied and your milk production continues as needed, you're fine. If you feel like you are losing too much weight, then you can either eat more or reintroduce carbs.

Are you actively losing weight currently? Body fat is stored triglyceride. As you lose weight, this dissolves and enters into the bloodstream to be used as energy. How long were you water-only fasted before your blood draw? You want to fast for at least 12-14 hours. It is also ideal NOT to test first thing in the morning or within the first few hours of waking up, as there will be triglyceride carryover from the meal the night before. Other recommendations are to eliminate coffee, which you have. Double-check everything for potential carb creep, which it sounds like you are. And to cut out refined/liquid/concentrated forms of fat. Drop bulletproof coffee, oils, fat shakes, fat bombs, etc. Move toward as much fat from real food sources as possible. Triglycerides are energy, so in general we can look at it as an energy surplus. The question then is where is the surplus coming from? If it's from dissolving body fat, well this isn't a bad thing. As you thin out and become weight stable, the trig levels should return to baseline. If it's from your liver manufacturing them, then it's from carbohydrates, high protein, or possibly even overeating. And then in super rare circumstances, there is an underlying medical condition. For example, I have Chronic Kidney Disease, which I detail in these videos... High Tryglcyerides on a Carnivore Diet Chronic Kidney Disease and the Carnivore Diet

Humans were meant to eat, an all-natural protein and fat-based diet that is essentially devoid of anything that mankind and Big Food corporations have created. I have come to learn that all their ultra-processed junk is really the source of all our health issues today, and more people need to hear this. I now talk to people all the time who struggle with weight loss and who struggle with their health. They are looking for solutions and want answers that actually work. And I am firmly convinced this particular way of eating can go a long way a long way in resolving most if not all of a person's issues, depending on what those may be.

When I was laid up with a broken ankle I was on a carnivore diet. My blood pressure came down, my ulcerative colitis vanished, my gums stopped bleeding, and my skin tags stopped trying to grow back. I had been clean keto since April 1st and carnivore since May 12th, and now by the end of June, I’m a believer. I’m convinced now and I continued the carnivore diet faithfully.

I lost weight sitting in a recliner and eating meat. I was unable to do anything else for 6 weeks because I had broken my ankle. But with the carnivore diet, not being able to exercise was not an issue whatsoever.

Man, it was a bad day for you, lol 😄 I've found myself in similar situations. I just try to have enough to stave off the hunger and not over indulge, and get back on track again as soon as I am near real food again 🙂

When I cut out dairy, I will have loose stools. The cheese helps keep things the consistency I desire. I'm not sure why. The rule of thumb is to add more fat to loosen things up, and to back off the fat to stiffen things up. While that seems to be true of excess butter or ghee, cheese is a little bit of a savior for me.
