A search seems to indicate that it is pretty safe. It's a salt that accelerates curing, prevents/slows oxidation, and the body converts it to vitamin C. Unless you as an individual have a sensitivity towards it, it's probably fine for most people,,, https://thefooduntold.com/food-additives/what-is-sodium-erythorbate-e316-in-food/

Anchovies are hit or miss. I've had terrible tasting ones, and then I've had fantastic tasting ones.

Oh I know. I said the Creator had prohibited it under the Law of Moses (the old covenant). There are no dietary prohibitions in the new covenant (except for abstaining from blood)... “[He] erased the handwritten document that consisted of decrees and was in opposition to us. He has taken it out of the way.” - Colossians 2:14 “By means of his flesh he abolished the enmity, the Law of commandments consisting in decrees.” - Ephesians 2:15

Sounds like it hits at random. When it does, is it all food that tastes off, or will it just be the beef and everything else is fine, or the eggs like a couple weeks ago but then everything else is fine?

I've been playing around with the new software over on my demo site. In Invision 5, I'm trying to duplicate our color scheme and branding. Here is a sneak peek of what I think it is going to look like on the main index page.

What was the value? Did you get a lipid panel prior to carnivore 4+ months ago for comparison? Were you fasted for 12-14 hours, no more, no less, when the blood was drawn? You've lost 40 lbs (18kg) in the last 4 months, so congratulations! Like I explained in the video, think of your stored fat as triglyceride in solid form. As you lose the weight on your body, the fat dissolves and enters your blood stream. Triglycerides are broken down and used for energy. For most people, they see their trigs drop like a rock, because they are being used for energy. For others, like myself, they build up in the blood. What we have to do is figure out why. In your case, I imagine it has to do with your diabetes. High triglycerides is common in people with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. As you A1C comes down, hopefully your trigs will too. But I don't recommend putting too much stock in a lipid panel while you are actively losing weight. It can be all over the place. I would wait 3-6 months after your weight loss has stopped and remained stable to get a lipid panel that would be more accurate. More blood tests would rule out issues with the liver or low thyroid, etc.

I'm positive they would thrive! AND... they would be spared the health maladies and chronic conditions we suffered before we got to a point where this is our last chance to reverse it.

Mother on carnivore diet says her children are ‘flourishing’ eating only meat and eggs Story by Molly Powell A mother who only eats a diet of meat, fish, eggs and full-fat dairy has encouraged her husband and two children to follow suit. In a bid to loose weight, Olivia Khwaja, 50, a freelance strategic consultant from Ascot, initially followed the keto diet - which is high-fat, low-carb. She dropped from 95kg (14st 3lbs) to 75kg (11st 11lbs) from 2020 to 2022. That year, she discovered the carnivore diet, which required her to cut out plant-based foods entirely. This means she solely eats animal products such as steak, eggs and chicken liver pate. She has since lost an additional 20kg, dropping to 55kg (8st 9lbs). NHS advice says consuming too much meat can increase the likelihood of people getting bowel cancer and recommends a balanced diet including fruits and vegetables – but Khwaja said her new diet has given her smoother skin and a clearer mind on top of the benefits to her waistline. Olivia Khwaja (PA) Such was her success that she has now inspired her husband Greg, 50, and their children, Eden, 16, and Bailey, 13, to follow suit, with Greg losing 39kg and their children “flourishing”. Khwaja has shared her journey with 10,000 Instagram followers, under the handle @oliviakhwaja, focusing on advice to cut out processed foods and said she has “not heard much” criticism on social media or from her children’s school. Khwaja told PA Real Life: “After being on the carnivore diet for a few weeks, I woke up and I just felt this feeling of euphoria, like I’ve never felt so happy and so excited about life. And just looking at the sky, I was like, ‘It’s just so blue and so beautiful’. It’s like I was living under a cloud without realising and it just lifted. I’ve never pushed either of my children into this. They’re on their own journey, but I think they’re both happier avoiding addictive foods and love the freedom that comes with it.” Olivia has inspired her husband Greg and two children Eden, 16, and Bailey, 13, to also follow the diet (PA) Khwaja wanted to make lifestyle changes to improve her health after losing her parents in 2014 and 2015. “My mum had type 2 diabetes … it made me think that I should improve my health so I don’t get the conditions when I’m older,” she said. “My dad had Alzheimer’s, which encouraged me too.” So, with the additional goal of losing weight, Khwaja followed the keto diet from 2020 to 2022, consuming high-fat and low-carb foods. The British Heart Foundation does not recommend the diet for losing weight due to limited research into the keto diet for weight loss, but Olivia said she lost 20kg, with her BMI dropping from 38.3 to a 30.3, and felt more energised. In 2022, she came across the carnivore diet on social media, where it was receiving “rave reviews” from followers. Initially, she was “against it” due to its exclusion of fruit and vegetables, but decided to “keep an open mind” and give it a try. Olivia Khwaja On a typical day, Khwaja now eats her first meal of locally-sourced eggs and sardines at around 4pm, but this can change depending on when she is hungry. A few hours later, she has a large ribeye steak cooked in beef tallow, often accompanied by homemade mayonnaise. On weekends, she and her family also have homemade jerky, bacon, sausages and homemade chicken liver pate on its own, without bread. “I just buy eggs, proper butter, and meat whenever we want it and keep it in the fridge,” she said. “Whenever I get hungry, I go into the fridge and cook something. We eat everything simply … it’s a simple life.” After just three weeks on the diet, Khwaja felt like a “new woman” and now weighs around 55kg, with a normal BMI of 22.2. Khwaja said she can also cycle faster with a quicker recovery time, has a clearer mind, softer skin and no longer has skin tags. “I’ve never felt so good in my life – I can’t remember feeling this positive and healthy, and having so much energy, as a child or a teenager, it’s transformed my life,” she said. Since following the carnivore diet, her husband and children have got on board, and Khwaja claims they have experienced similar benefits. She said her husband has gone from 122kg (19st 3lb) to 83kg (13st 1lb) and also feels more energised. She said: “I thought, we spend so much money buying vegetables and time cutting them, chopping them, steaming them, putting them on a plate, and then most of the time we put them back in the fridge, because my children don’t finish them and they don’t like them, I’m just not going to bother anymore. And we stopped doing that, and that saved a ton of money. They saw mine and my husband’s steak, so wanted to try going carnivore too. But my son does still eat fruit sometimes.” Olivia Khwaja before she lost the weight (PA) Since switching diets, Khwaja said she feels her children are “flourishing”. She claimed their skin has cleared and her daughter is excelling in sports and athletics. Occasionally, her children have “fallen off the wagon” and eaten chocolate, but Khwaja said they quickly notice how “bad they feel” afterwards. To people who would argue Khwaja is damaging her children’s health by not giving them fruit and vegetables, she said: “It would be worthwhile they do some research, because all the nutrients they need are available in abundance in meat and much more so than in vegetables.” She shares her health journey on Instagram under the handle @oliviakhwaja, and Khwaja claims she has not received criticism by her 10,000 followers or her children’s school. “I coach families who want to help their kids transition away from processed foods, but I never tell anyone to stop their children from eating vegetables,” she said. “That’s just a personal choice for our family. I’m sure plenty of people disagree, but I haven’t heard much from them.” To people who are sceptical about the carnivore diet, and have concerns it may cause cancer, she said: “I totally understand their concerns – I was at least sceptical. But my main learning from this whole journey has been that what we think we know about any diet isn’t in any way concluded. In my case, it worked for me and I saw the benefits quickly.” The NHS recommends you speak to your GP about losing weight safely by eating a healthy, balanced diet and regular physical activity.

What works for one isn’t going to work for another necessarily. Now I was fortunate that nearly everything that was talked about in carnivore and how to do it worked for me. You know, 70 percent fat, 30 percent protein- Boom! I lost weight. Had no problem. If I stalled out I just kept eating what I did. I didn’t do no tricks, and everything would kick back in a few weeks to a month or so.

I remember when mine hit 4.8 and I remarked to my nephrologist about it being above the high range, and he said he wasn't worried about it. He said the risk for osteoporosis doesn't start until at least 5.5 and up. After 6 months on my carnivore diet mine was up to 5.3 but he still wasn't concerned and was happier about some of the other small improvements I was experiencing. Then, after the fenofibrate debacle that I talked about in the video you watched (which was prescribed by my PCP, and my nephro said get off that stuff immediately), my phosphorous was up to 9.2. I stopped drinking dark colored sodas (which contain Phosphoric acid) and went a month without cheese and brought it down to 8.3. I'll be testing again this week. So far, nobody has mentioned taking a phosphate binder, but the thought has been bouncing around in the back of my mind. The problem is that meat is heavy on the phosphorous. But DAIRY contains the most concentrated phosphorous of them all. The only way to lower it is to excrete it through the urine. The tricky juggling act is to try not to consume it faster than the kidney can expel it. Start with cutting out dark sodas if you are still drinking them. In fact, read the labels of any food or beverage and make sure none of the ingredients have the letters PHOS in them. If you can bear it, try to cut down on or eliminate cheeses and dairy. I don't think this applies to butter and ghee. This page and the food chart at the bottom is pretty helpful... https://www.kidney.org/kidney-topics/phosphorus-and-your-diet

This is an interesting topic: Why did the Creator ban the consumption of pork under the law of Moses? Some say it was just one of the many ways to set the Israelites apart as different from the pagan nations around them. Others say that it was the divine wisdom of the Almighy, knowing that undercooked pork carried the risk of many food-borne illnesses, and so this was a protection. And yet others see it as symbolism - the pig represented hypocrisy, because it put forth it's split hoof as if to say "see I am kosher" on the outside, but by not chewing the cud it was not clean on the inside. INTERESTINGLY, the animals that split it's hoof and chewed it cud were ruminants. Ruminants were more nutritious because of their 4-chambered stomachs. They could remove all the impurities, and at the same time extract all the nutrition, from the grasses they ate. Ruminant meat was thus considered superior, even in ancient Israelite culture.

I chew sugar free gum, which contains xylitol I believe, a few times a week. It doesn't bother me unless I go through stick after stick. Then it adds up and gives me gas.

When I started my health journey, I was keto. I would try and make dinners that the whole family would enjoy and not complain about. The wife was on board. The kids couldn't bear it and started making their own food or ordering out. They were raised on processed garbage. I tried to fight it, but "mom" would always cave in and play short-order cook and placate them with whatever they wanted. When I went carnivore, my wife would eat the dinners I made - usually steak. But currently she's burned out and is boycotting steak, lol. I'm eating steak and shrimp, and she's eating DiGiorno pizza's. They also keep trying to get me to take them out to dinner more than usual lately too. .... "Oh, I have a great idea... let's go to .... " lol.

Yeah, lol. I bought it for a steal though. Around the time I bought it, the kids were switching rooms, and the spare room was filled with their junk as the transitional room while we painted, carpeted, etc. Then the daughter up and moved out (on unagreeable terms) and it took forever for her to come get her stuff. Now that it's gone, I do have a spare room, which will be my exercise room. But the weather hadn't been agreeable much this winter to move it from the garage to the house. All that changes this week.

Me. I started carnivore in early 2023 and my wife, for whatever reason, intentionally started bringing even more than the usual amount of junk food into the house. She would gloat while she stuffed her face and brag "I can eat anything I want" and make "mmmm.... yum....." noises as she pigged out in front of me. I simply responded "I also can eat anything I want. The difference is, I don't want any of that garbage." My immediate need to rectify and reverse my health issues were more important. I made a vow to never eat grains or refined sugar ever again that I have for the most part kept (save for the annual anniversary meal or rare special occasion). I lost 60 pounds and she started to gain. My blood work improved, and hers got worse. The doctor even got on her case about the sugar because she became prediabetic. She has since been part-time keto, part-time animal-based, and has taken off the weight and improved her labs. But she still goes on benders once in a while. Depends. I weigh in daily. BUT, some people get real frustrated if they don't see day to day results and then tend to give up. If this should be your personality, then weekly stats measurements would be better for you.

Eat more pork chops, or preferably something a bit fattier. Your pork chops are probably very lean. I know when I eat lean meats, like chicken breast, i don't feel satiated for very long. Essentially you want to eat fatty red meat or fatty fish. Don't drain the fat. Don't be afraid of fat. Indulge in the fat, lol. Eat until you are comfortably stuffed.

Here's an excel spreadsheet attached to this message listing the numerous brands that fry their pork rinds in their own pork fat/lard. This is actually the most common way. Only a few brands use seed oils. Pork_Rinds.xlsx

It's so weird for me to see creatinine flagged as "low" lol. Your kidneys are in tip top shape!

I've been slackin... er... snackin... lately and am up a few pounds, but I'm looking forward to more agreeable weather. We've already had a couple nice days where we took the dog for a walk without the fear of freezing or slipping on the ice, lol. I might actually get this treadmill in the house this month too @Orweller

That's what I do. The kids like the fries or rice, depending on where we go. Nobody is eating like me.

My philosophy is in harmony with Dr. Ken Berry's PHD (Proper Human Diet) spectrum. Where depending on your DNA you could have up to 100 carbs a day depending on your personal physiology. These should be single ingredient whole foods. IF... there's a couple IF's there... 1) it doesn't bring back pain and chronic disease issues, and 2) it also doesn't trigger you to go on binges and start binge eating. If you can't do that then stay away from it.

Our software, called Invision, is ever moving forward, and just had a major release that we haven't installed yet. It's chock full of new features and design changes. However, one of the problems with upgrading is that some 3rd party applications may not have been updated to be compatible with the latest software release. One 3rd party app that we use is Tapatalk. However, if you look at the Tapatalk Support Forums, they look pretty dead. Low activity, and very little response. Here is a post I made on February 19th that nobody has bothered to answer as of yet... https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tapatalksupport/any-plans-to-bring-tapatalk-to-invision-community--t48151.html#p260559 Scrolling around over there reveals some interesting drama over the last few years that I was unaware of. It appears that Tapatalk sold themselves to another company. That company didn't do jack-diddly with the product and ran it into the ground. Then the original authors bought it back. But then, a company that owned like 1500+ forums stopped using Tapatalk in favor of their own in-house app, seriously hitting them financially. Now the place looks like a ghosttown. We will eventually have to make the decision to move forward with our upgrade. It isn't imperative at the moment. But we can't stay on old software and deprive ourselves of security patches, bug fixes, and advancing features because Tapatalk is giving up the ghost, lol.

"Marching into March with Much Motivation" For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars! Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming. Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry. Let's keep our resolutions going strong!
