    Most nights are steak, lol. I'm a creature of habit. Although on Thursday my daughter wanted to go to Chili's. I got the mixed fajitas (chicken, steak, shrimp, and sausage) and made it work. But I would stay away from there, lol. A few "light" dishes might have been keto friendly, but they mostly want to shove breaded fried food and fries on you with every menu item.... cuz it's cheap.

    I was an ulcerative colitis sufferer for around 10 years. I was always told by my medical professionals that the cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown, and that there is no cure, and that one must manage the disease with prescription medications for the rest of their life. It was even suggested that I have my colon removed surgically. I was told "diet has nothing to do with it" and that I can continue eating anything I want. Now I know that sentence should have continued with "...as long as you keep taking these pills that I'm prescribing to you." Things finally came to a head, and I had to do my own research, and now I am 5 years off my meds and there is no longer any trace of the disease. I cured ulcerative colitis! Here's how.

    I hope so too. I just got some blood work done and my creatinine was checked - and it again looks worse on paper (explained in the video). I'm going to go get a cystatin C next week and hopefully that has remained the same.

    Assorted cereal bars, pop tarts, cinnamon rolls, and chocolate chip oatmeal rounds? For lunch? I swear those were breakfast foods when I was a kid, lol. I can't believe I don't see something normal like a sandwhich. To make it seem "healthy" and "balanced", they serve it alongside fresh fruit, raisin box, string cheese, and Zeezee's apple sauce, lol.

    Welcome aboard Kevin @Saxguy A lot of good advice above. Give the carnivore diet a good 30, 60, or 90 days. The more the merrier, especially for pain and inflammation and other chronic issues. Then reintroduce single ingredient whole foods. Dr. Berry's "Proper Human Diet" is a spectrum from 0 carb carnivore up to 100g of carbs/day single ingredient low carb vegetables. Dr. Saladino's "Animal-based Diet" is basically meat, fruit (including certain vegetables that are actually fruitage) and honey. Personally, I think most people, after healing and achieving weight loss goals, can marry the two - that is, enjoy fruit as long as you stay under that 100 carbs/day. But for reasons like Geoff @Geezy mentioned above, many people prefer to stay strict carnivore, or at least mostly carnivore (me) because that is where they feel their best.

    Lamb loin chops. The ones that look like miniature T-bone steaks. I get them from Sam's and ate the whole package.

    From the article... "APOE4 carriers maintain higher levels of total and LDL cholesterol at low body mass indices (BMIs). These results suggest that the relationship between APOE4 and lipids may be beneficial for pathogen-driven immune responses and unlikely to increase cardiovascular risk in an active subsistence population." This would be good news for you. Your LDL and Trigs go up in sync with each other. Trigs get carried on VLDL (Very Low Density Lipoprotein), where as Cholesterol gets carried in LDL (Low Desity Lipoprotein). Bascially, VLDL is both trigs and LDL. And then HDL usually has an inverse relationship with trigs. If trigs go up, HDL goes down. If HDL goes up, trigs come down. Lifting heaving things can help raise HDL. Resistance and cardio can help burn triglycerides. If you decide to scale back on saturated fat, maybe add more fatty fish to your diet. The Omega-3's in seafood are supposed to be good for lowering trigs too. And despite was some hardcore carnivore's might say, some [true] olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil is just fine, as none of those are vegetable seed oils.

    That's what I have heard also. Thank for the tip, and the lead (Dr. Mindy Pelz). And welcome aboard!

    So clearly this might take some more testing/digging. Remember, that genetic hypertriglyceridemia is also a possibility, but given that yours were within the normal range before, this is not likely in your case. Some see an initial rise, and then it tapers off later. Dr. Ben Bikman explains this in this short video... Mine was basically the long version, lol. Since trigs are basically energy (fat) needing to either be stored as belly fat or for your cells to open the door and let them in to use as fuel, maybe play around with your macros. If you're not fully fat adapted (which can take years per Dr. Cywes) then you may still have gluconeogenesis going on (converting protein to glucose) and your cells still favor it. That's 1:1 gram for gram, which is 30/70 protein to fat (4 calories protein to 9 calories fat, or 4/13 protein and 9/13 fat). Together that's 2580 calories per day. How tall are you? What is your weight? You could hit the same caloric target with 130g of protein and 230g of fat, and this would give you a 20/80 ratio. I know some of the latest "research" says you cannot overeat protein, and that overeating protein doesn't trigger gluconeogenesis, although this was the common thinking in the past. I'm still not so sure. If I eat a couple pounds of lean chicken breast, I will gain weight, vs if I eat a couple pounds of fatty red meat, I won't. You could also try exercising/running to burn off the extra trigs.

    Yes, I think you can do resistance training even with CKD stage 3 and still be healthy. The resistance training will do nothing to your kidneys. Here is what WILL happen though.... As you lift heavy weights, you will increase the amount of muscle protein that breaks down. This is how body-building works. You lift heavy weights, which tears your muscles a bit. Then those muscles heal and grow stronger and bigger. The waste product from muscle breakdown is creatinine. Creatinine is also created as a waste product from the protein you eat. Because you have impaired kidney function, it cannot remove the creatinine from your blood through your urine as fast as it used to, so it will build up a bit, and you will see your creatinine numbers rise, which in turn will lower your estimated GFR (eGFR). This might give your doctor the FALSE idea that your kidney function is getting worse, but in reality, they could be just fine - stable, maybe even improving. Because you eat a lot of meat and because you lift a lot of weights, your creatinine levels will be inflated. For people who eat a carnivore diet or do resistance training and have impaired kidney function, another test, call a Cystatin C, is a better way to calculate eGFR, because that's a waste product that is NOT influenced by what you eat or the amount of exercise you do. I've been stage 4 since at least January 2020, and I have been carnivore since May 2023 (1.5 years now).

    I had a couple small sirloins last night, about 20oz worth. I've been making them solely on the stovetop in my new cast-iron pan, cooked medium (typical for me). I recently bought some Maldon's salt flakes, the kind Dr. Baker uses, and have been using pretty much just that instead of my usual seasonings and I must say, I am a fan. We downgraded to top sirloin this week because the wife is tired of cutting around the fat on the NY Strips, lol.

    I was on LowCarbFriends sometime in the 2000's. I was mostly a lurker, occasional poster. I would mostly hit up the site for recipes. One standout was Cleochatra who made all sorts of recipes and was the one who came up with "Oopsie Rolls". A large number of former LowCarbFriends members went on to create Low Carb Neighborhood, which still exists to this day... https://lcneighborhood.com/forum It's slow going over there, but if you're looking for old friends, you might find some still there. I had created a page to memorialize LowCarbFriends because I was sad to hear it got taken down. Only afterwards did I learn where remnants of that community were hanging out.

    Have you been actively losing weight? Your body fat is literally solidified triglyceride. LDL is also stored in the adipose tissue. When you lose weight, all that gets released into your bloodstream. Therefore, as a general rule, it's pointless to look at your lipid profile until about 6 months after weight stabilization, as the numbers will be all over the place. My triglycerides skyrocketed due to Chronic Kidney Disease. It can also skyrocket due to liver and thyroid issues, medications, and genetic hypertriglyceridemia. My most recent video was on my personal struggle with high triglycerides.

    Either carnivore made me biphasic, or it was getting a new puppy, lol. But yes, I doze off in my recliner about 11pm or midnight, then I wake up at 3am, let the dog out, maybe shower, and then go to my actual bed and sleep some more from 4am-7:30am. It's every single night. I just kinda accept it as my new normal now, a year and half into it.
  19. Bob
    I would agree. Instead of a "sugar rush" you get a rush when consuming an abundance of fat. This is hard to answer because a tablespoon is a unit of volume whereas a gram is a unit of weight. But, using an online calculator, 15 tablespoons of LARD would be 203 grams by weight, or 1827 calories from fat. As far as the 80oz of protein, that is 5 POUNDS of meat (2267 grams). That's a heck of a lot of meat for one person to consume in a day. Not that it can't be done, but that is more than the average person for sure. That would equal 9068 calories. Together with the fat that would be 10,895 calories. You might eat that if you were a body builder training everyday for a competition in which you had every intention on breaking all the world records, lol Yes. I know several people who do carnivore with kidney disease. I am one of them. I have stage 4, and I talk about it here...

    The most common way I make them is to just crack them open over a skillet. I usually cook them a little longer so they're "over medium". I had to go back up and look at the poll results to remember what I had voted on. I should probably remove my vote for hard boiled. I'm just tired of hard boiled eggs at this point, lol.

    196 is not considered high LDL in the keto-carnivore community. It's also the general advice of keto-carnivore doctors to get your CAC score and if it's zero, then you shouldn't worry about a thing. I have a meeting to attend but I will try to remember to come back and cite some references later.

    I don't go out of my way to get grass fed beef. Sam's sells some grass fed burger in one pound packages, and I get those but mostly because they are individually wrapped and I don't have to buy a 5 lbs log, divvy it up, and freeze it. It has a slightly better nutrional profile, but not enough to make a real difference for you.
  23. Bob
    Those results are awesome. Let's get back on track and bring those results back! He can do it. You can do it!

    Yesterday was my staples. Eggs and sausage in the morning. NY Strips at dinner time. I did snack on some pork rinds after work while waiting for the wife to get home.
  25. Bob
    Yes, that was sad. He managed to keep it going as long as he did though with his diet. I was rooting for him.
