A couple weeks ago a new fad diet exploded onto the scene, forcing itself into everyone's streams and recommendations feeds. They call it the Sugar Diet, or Sugar Fasting. Being heavily promoted by influences such as Cole Robinson, Mark Bell, and FreeLee the Banana Girl - they advise consuming mass quantities of pure sugar in the form of pop and candy, almost exclusively. Just like those of us on the keto-carnivore side of the isle lose weight eating fat in the absense of carbs, yes you can lose weight eating carbs in the absense of fat. BUT, which one of these will benefit you in the long term?

This is good advice. I understand why the Carnivore-friendly doctors hold up the CAC test, because statistically speaking, when the CAC is zero there is usually little to no plaque to be concerned about. But as you said this isn't always the case all of the time. The CAC is cheap and non-invasive. In fact, around where I live you can get them for free without insurance or a prescription.

I hope you are doing well. I'm glad you recognized the signs and took action. Do remember that it takes years upon years for circumstances to build up to this event. Your carnivore diet shouldn't get the blame for this. There are a variety of factors involved. Are you familiar with Mitch, "Old Guy Carnivore" on YouTube? He also had a heart attack a little over a month ago. He explains what caused it, and continues to eat carnivore and champion the lifestyle.

Haha! Good grief! Now that I think about it though, my Sam's Club card does have my photo on it, lol 😄 But any of these types of cards can be forged right at home.

The mainstream narrative continues to be "The Body prefers CARBS" and "FAT is bad for you". I don't see this changing anytime soon. Nestle, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Kraft Heinz, Mondelez, Kelloggs, Post, and General Mills have the financial interest and advertising dollars to push this message in your face non-stop. Calling it an "Extreme diet" is basically slander and lies. Seriously! So, when did eating only what God/Nature provided for us to eat become an "extreme diet"? Lol. What? There are people who will only eat a whole foods diet consisting of meat, nuts, berries, and some select fruits and vegetables? Them NUTTERS and their EXTREME diets! But.... but..... what about GRaiNs and SeeD oILs?

Those screen caps look interesting. Right now the "Wayback Machine" is down, so I will have to remember to try again later.

We will see in the months ahead... or maybe we won't. Notice there are not a large pool of YouTube videos by people proclaiming, "I lost XXX lbs on Weight Watchers" or "Slim-Fast reversed my _______ auto-immune disease!". However, when it comes to keto and carnivore, all sorts of individuals create content to try and spread the word because after a lifetime of trying those other diets that didn't work and being told by medical professionals "it's just genetic" and there is nothing you can do, CARNIVORE feels like an amazing miracle, and we are unable to keep it to ourselves. Will we see a guy like Bill Knott or Todd Bockness, who were huge and have lost HUNDREDS of pounds so far, start vlogging their life on the sugar diet? Far less likely I am sure. Maybe a few here and there, but they will have to do it intermittedly (i.e. sugar "fasting") or take supplements to make it work, just like the vegans do. I don't think this "sugar diet" is going to go away just yet. It's going to be heralded as a weapon to battle our "carnivnore, high fat propaganda".

So curiosity got the best of me and I did a web search for "air fried crickets" and there are a surprising number of recipes, lol. Eating insects is something that has never come into my mind :)

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.
