I've been following "Miss Meat" on Facebook lately. She's into that raw meat thing quite heavily.... https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573048267531

I'm glad I've sworn off grains. Those statistics comparing the USA to the EU were pretty shocking. No wonder why we rank so low in health and nutrition and so high in chronic disease.

Your instincts are correct, and the "few of the leaders in the field" who say so are wrong. Excessive protein consumption can hinder ketosis by stimulating the production of glucose in the body. Protein also triggers an insulin response. As a result your blood sugar goes up, your insulin levels go up, your ketone production and usage goes down. If I eat moderate protein and high fat, I will remain weight stable and even lose weight. However, when I eat high protein and moderate to low fat, I gain weight. This is why I am not a fan of binge eating chicken. I will be heavier the next morning. The same will happen if I binge eat shrimp and scallops, but since that's more like a rare treat I am happy to indulge in some seafood, lol, even if it means I'll be up a few pounds the following morning.

That was an interesting comment and ensuing discussion for sure. I eat a proper human diet now (mostly carnivore) because I have lost weight and reversed several of my chronic conditions. This is a choice and a sacrifice that I am happy to make, but at the same time YES I miss eating whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and however much I wanted. A life of pizza, mexican food, candy, and beer was most enjoyable. But it came with consequences, most of which I have been able to reverse and correct course by ditching ultra processed food and the mass consumption of plants. It's not the first time I've been called a liar. I recently made a comment on a Dr. Idz video that I reversed my decade of being an ulcerative colitis sufferer, am drug free, and that even the biopsy comes back negative for UC. There were people who commented that I was a "Liar" and others that were even so bold as to say my carnivore diet would make my UC worse, lol. Some people just won't listen to truth, even when it stares them in the face.

I made the link clickable... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3253466/ It interesting in that it addresses carnivore (sort of) and was dated 2011.

Not in the sense of euphoria, but in the sense of a positive and optimistic outlook on life and the circumstances that make it what it is, absolutely yes! I used to get depressed often. I would have feelings of worthlessness and contemplate whether those around me would fair better if I was out of the picture. Of course, that is ridiculous thinking, and the depression talking, and deep inside I knew better. But having switched to a carnivore centric lifestyle my depression has lifted, my outlook improved, and such negative thinking doesn't occur anymore. It's funny that what I tried to fix with spirituality, or a sense thereof, I actually fixed with dietary changes.

Trick you? OMG! They clearly fail in the support department, lol.

I am going to be leery of drugs in general. If the doc wants to prescribe something, I am going to research it well before it ever passes my lips. I still take blood pressure medicine. For the last 5-6 years I have taken 100mg of Losartan Potassium (ARB) and 2.5mg of Nebivolol (Beta Blocker). Now since the fenofibrate debacle, my blood pressure has increased. I now average 155/105 and I am not happy about that. Hypertension isn't good for kidneys, and damaged kidneys cause hypertension. I am in a bit of a catch 22. So, currently my strategy is to quadruple my beta blocker to 10mb of Nebivolol. Then in 2 weeks I am going to talk to my nephrologist about ditching Losartan in favor of Olmesartan. I will also listen to his suggestions. I'm not anti-drug, per se. I'm just overly cautious now because of the fenofibrate that ruined all my progress I had been making - putting me in a worse spot than I was before I started carnivore.

I made carnivore ice cream with allulose, and I think I am about to regret it. My stomach is rumbling, and the toilet is requesting my presence, lol.

I've never been on a statin. And I don't plan on being on one, at least not yet. I am not necessarily opposed to a low-dose statin, ala Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Ford Brewer, both of whom I do trust. But given my kidney issues, I am very timid about taking any sort of drug ever again, and I have read articles that spoke about the negative effects of statins on kidneys. Same here. The Food Pyramid would probably have been a better option for me than my carefree, eat anything I want, SAD diet.

Yes, the struggle is real. But we are here to help. You can do this! Make a vow with yourself to never eat grains and refined sugar ever again. That's what I did. Basically, look at all the foods and "foods" available and ask yourself "Is this what I, as a human in the ancient past, would have eaten?". Or "Did God or Nature provide this for MY consumption?" And then when answering that latter question, keep in mind that grains and sugar was not provided for YOUR consumption. Most of these things required milling, crushing, processing, and is food for birds because they have powerful beaks to perform such tasks and we don't. These are just some random thoughts that have helped me to no longer see certain things as actual "food" anymore. They are frankenfoods - monstrous creations by mad scientists, lol. Well there you go. You KNOW from personal experience this works. You have done it before, you CAN do it again. We're here for you.

Remember that other conditions can contribute to a gout flare up. Such conditions can be genetic or medical, such as diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, and high blood pressure. It could also be caused by medications you may be taking and even dehydration. Some people initially experience a gout flare up at the beginning, but then this goes away, and they never see symptoms return because it's mitigated by your low carb whole foods diet. Things like sugar and alcohol are bigger factors than meat consumption.

I see there is low estrogen in beer, because it's a MANLY drink, lol

Yes, you're right. Thank you for the correction. I recently got the "Statin call" from my Dr.'s office again. He's brought it up off and on over the last 2 years, and sounds like he's getting aggressive about it again. Total cholesterol happened to peak over 400. I was hoping to hear happiness about getting my trigs down, but oh well, lol.

Tried a new Mexican place last night with the family and they had a Surf and Turf "Stone Molcajetes" which was chicken breast, chorizo, angus beef steak, and shrimp along with grilled onions, bell pepper, tomatoes, spring onions, nopales, cheese, and a jalapeño Toreado. Since it's Mexican of course they wanted to also serve you rice, beans, and tortillas - which can be ignored. I will say that typically I am NEVER happy when the family wants to go out for Mexican. But this particular dish was fantastic, carnivore-centric, and a great compromise. I filled up and did not feel like I was being ripped off.

Uh oh. I used stevia in my tea each morning. Never caused me any issues. I've tried switching to allulose, but I end up having explosive diarrhea about an hour later.

At someone's wedding reception I might have some fruit but still won't violate my vows to never eat grains or refined sugar (which translates into nothing from the sweets table). The one exception is my anniversary. We usually splurge at an expensive restaurant, and at those prices you better believe I am eating the whole meal, lol.

My fridge doors still have all that crap because of the other family members. Many of them is some sauce they bought to "try" and after using it once it just sits in there until we take note that it is well past it's expiration date, lol.

That's a pretty neat useful tool.
