    Normally salt is benign and we encourage it. Salt is an electrolyte, and many people, when they go strict carnivore or lion diet, struggle with electrolyte deficiencies. You should be able to salt your food to taste without issues. If your kidneys are in good shape, they will excrete excess salt if needed. They will also strive to retain salt as necessary.

    Yesterday I fasted until noon, but packed 5 scrambled eggs and 6 sausage links. Then for dinner I had 2 1/3-lb wagyu burgers with pepper jack cheese. It was kinda late and I fell asleep shortly after eating so I am actually a bit up on the scale this morning.

    I had to cook 2 NY strips last night before they went bad. Had one for dinner and then had the 2nd one for lunch today. The wife and daughter ordered pizza. She's coming around slowly though, lol. You'll be fine as long as there were no croutons, lol. I eat a salad once or twice a month. Once when I go out with the guy that works for me for lunch, and then sometimes when the family goes out to dinner and they choose a place where I don't feel like being too much of a pest, lol. I wonder who was the first person to eat lettuce or how it even became a thing. It's quite tasteless and boring without slathering some dressing on it.

If you have any more suggestions, feel free to mention them here. ADA (case sensitive) = American Diabetes Association ADS (case sensitive) = American Diabetes Society acv = apple cider vinegar bhb = beta-hydroxybutyrate bmr = basal metabolic rate ci/co = calories in, calories out evoo = extra virgin olive oil IF (case sensitive) = intermittent fasting iifym = if it fits your macros ir = insulin resistance mct = medium-chain triglycerides mufa = monounsaturated fatty acid nsv = non-scale victory omad = one meal a day pufa = polyunsaturated fatty acids SAD (case sensitive) = standard American diet sfa = saturated fats t1d = Type I (one) diabetes t2d = Type II (two) diabetes woe = way of eating I will keep the above list up to date. I just added the ADA and the ADS

    Me too. I can understand Dr. Berry's anger disappointment with the American Diabetes Association. It's mind-boggling the garbage they put up on their website, such as recipes that are supposed to be "diabetic friendly" but is in reality a load of crap. I hope this new American Diabetes Society succeeds where it ought.

    One of these old books I uploaded to the Downloads Library was written by a guy that swore by eating meat and drinking liquor and nothing else, lol. LOL! My wife has to stay away from tequila. Too much tequila and she's balling her eyes out talking about her terrible childhood and how she's trying to be a good mom to our kids. It's a bit over dramatic. Other drinks don't do this to her. Just tequila.

    Inflammation in what manner? Where at on or in your body? Generally speaking, if you're eating a strict carnivore diet devoid of ultra-processed foods with high sodium content, you can salt to taste without repercussions. But some people say salt causes them to retain water and experience some edema, so they keep their salt to a minimum or don't have any at all. I think Steak & Butter Girl doesn't use salt, if I recall. If you're not super strict, you could try to swap out the salt with some spices or seasonings. And I believe the No Salt brand salt substitute is made with potassium, which many carnivores struggle to get enough of as well. Yes, in the beginning I went once a week. Now I average 2, sometimes 3 a week at most. This is perfectly normal. There is very little waste from eating meat, so there is less to excrete. Personally, I find this to be a blessing

    We don't get a lot of spam attempts, and every once in a while I think about turning this off, and then BAM! there are like 3 spam posts, lol. Approval can take awhile, especially of a newbie posts while I am at work or asleep because I have appointed any helping hands yet to be moderators.

    I still have a scotch or Kentucky bourbon once a month at my cousin's Open Mic night. I might have one also if I go to a concert or out for karaoke. Just one shot, and usually on the rocks. I used to have a shot or two every night to put me to sleep but now that I have been carnivore I don't need it. I had some red wines on my wedding anniversary, and I did just fine. Beer has been banned from my life for the last year because it is a high-carb grain-based drink (although I think the whiskeys are grain-based also). I was never a major drinker, and usually just a social drinker. Now I am just a shot a month away from being a non-drinker, lol. A brewery representative was giving away free samples at the concert of 4 of their beers. Free stuff is my weakness, lol. So I sampled all 4 (probably the equivalent of half a can or more) and then purchased the one I actually liked just to show my appreciation. As predicted, I am back to normal weight today.

    Love that summary, as well as your 'salt the floor' analogy. I have to remember both of these

    So at Cedar Point yesterday I went to a place called Famous Daves outside the park, at the Marina, overlooking the lake, and they worked with me to stay on plan. I order a burger with pepper jack cheese + bacon + chopped pork + beef brisket and it they even fenagled the price so it didn't break the bank. It did have a squirt of BBQ sauce on top, which I didn't ask for but I am assuming it was in conjunction with the chopped pork, and it was so small it wasn't worth scraping off so I ate it. Earlier that day I had eggs, sausage, and bacon.

    That would be my wife, lol. She get's tired of beef, beef, and more beef, lol. You could try eliminating the dairy to see if it improves. The point of a strict carnivore, whether that's Lion Diet or something like beef, butter, bacon, and eggs, is eliminating every possible thing that could be bothersome to you. Then, after 30, 60, or 90 days, you slowly and gradually add back one food at a time - like one new food every 2 week, to test how your body will react to it. Many start with dairy because it's still an animal product. The itch could be poor diet, a particular plant or class of plants, dairy, etc. You just have to play this game of trying to figure it out. If you go complete Lion Diet and still itch, then it could be environmental or the detergent you use, etc. We're cool with those who still want to eat some keto friendly vegetables (keto/ketovore) or even some fruit & honey (animal-based) as part of your carnivore/carnivore-centric diet. We'll only shame you if you eat a Twinkie, lol

    My second meal was about 18-20oz of New York Strip. My daughter is starting to get a taste for steak. She has asked me to make her one a few times now.

    MS

    Bob replied to a topic in Guest Questions & Answers

    Butter, tallow, ghee, cheese, blue cheese, heavy cream, and milk (if you're not concerned about the carbs). What types of meat are you eating? I will say that when I eat meats that are lean, such as chicken and lean fish, I get very hungry again soon. Too much lean protein will kick me out of ketosis too. What does "MS" mean in the subject line?
  15. Bob
    Possibly. Adaptive glucose sparing is when your muscles become resistant to glucose and instead prefer triglycerides so that the glucose in your system will be spared for the brain, which needs it more. This is actually a good thing. Where are the blood sugars coming from? Gluconeogenesis - your body is converting protein into glucose. This is a natural process. Until you become fat adapted, this process will keep taking place because your cells prefer sugar. So what many people do is keep their protein intake moderate and their fat intake high so that they can become fat adapted faster (fat adapted is when your body now has a preference for fat for energy over that of carbohydrates). Those high readings indicate that you are still diabetic and/or have insulin resistance. You're only 7 weeks in. I would keep doing what you are doing.

    So yesterday I went to a concert and had 2 beers. Mind you, I have NOT had a beer for probably 14-15 months or more. But I bring this up because I couldn't believe what the scale said this morning. I usually clock in at 175.5 on a daily basis. This morning, I stepped on and it said 179.5. Seriously! FOUR pounds from 2 beers? Anyway, it will be forever and a day before I touch another one, and I am sure tomorrow morning it will read 175.5 again. I fully expected a slight increase. Beer in particular is known for interfering with your body's ability to burn fat. Plus, it is a grain and contains carbs. BOTH the carbs and the alcohol must be metabolized first before you return to ketosis. And most people when they drink beer, they gorge on other unhealthy carby foods to boot. Now imagine someone who does this on the daily, and how bad they are wrecking their health and developing that beer belly. I was never that kind of drinker back when I was a [regular] drinker.

    This morning was 1/2 lb of Wagyu beef inside a 4 egg omelet. I cooked the meat first and then cooked the egg in the Wagyu grease. It was mighty delicious.

    That's interesting. My public speaking experience is mostly in a teaching/preaching setting where you want to slow down to let the points sink in. But now that I think about it, many of the YouTubers and Podcasts I listen to they seen to talk at a faster pace.

    Happy Carniversary!!! You literally started 3 days before I did. And our results are very comparable to one another.

    I was into Speech & Debate in high school, and in my adult life I have done a lot of public speaking. Both. I have about 15 video ideas in the works, but I do really want to do interviews with others who have had success with a carnivore centric diet, whether that's a meat-based keto or ketovore diet, an animal-based diet, or a strict carnivore or lion diet. Yes, one of the video ideas I have is to actually show past pics of myself next to current ones. I spent some time the other day hunting for some and found some good ones. Well, fat ones I should say, lol. I'll be pushing this in audio only as well. My current thinking is to create with a view to video first, and then crosspost it to a podcast platform. I'm a little on the fence whether I want to crosspost everything or hold back some content to be unique to YouTube.

    I took a leftover NY Strip to work today and warmed it up in my microwave. The other construction guys were eating their sandwiches and chips and I'm having myself a 16oz steak. The hardwood flooring guy was like "Man, you're livin' it up!" Yes, yes I am, lol

    This is a vice that I still haven't been able to shake yet. I even bought a DrinkMate so I could carbonate my own water. But I just buy the diet soda syrup and make my own pop at home now, lol. I've always been a sucker for soda. Downsizing is awesome. Good stuff. And you'll enjoy the chaffle maker too

    So I uploaded my first/introductory video. Please give me your honest feedback, and support me by liking, subscribing, and sharing it with others.

    More information about "Carnivore For Life, Despite Complications"
    I have been doing a Carnivore Diet for the last year, and it's been amazing, despite some complications that almost scared me into quitting. But I am glad I didn't. I have lost 55 pounds, and reversed ulcerative colitis, hypertension, skin tags, prediabetes, and what might have been narcolepsy. Due to one particular condition that hasn't gone away, my lab work and blood testing doesn't always net the good results many others reap on this meat-based ketogenic way of eating. I've learned to manage it though, and I will never give up my carnivore-centric dietary lifestyle. Join me and my keto-carnivore friends over at https://www.CarnivoreTalk.com Have YOU had success with a meat-based keto, ketovore, carnivore, carnivore-centric, or animal-based diet? Let's do a video together! Drop me a line using this Contact Form... https://carnivoretalk.com/contact/
