Just look up "Carnivore Talk" in your YouTube app if you're on a tablet or phone.

We talked about the carnivore lifestyle, or carnivore way of eating. I try to be careful how I use the word diet, because I don't like the word. I don't want to infer that this is something that we are just going to do temporarily. I constantly call it a lifestyle. Yes, it's a diet in that it is a way of eating, but it's a permanent diet.

We will be making changes to the one feature of the Carnivore Talk Community that allows unregistered Guests to post in specific forums. The reason for this is that we are tired of the SPAM. @Geezy and I delete a dozen or more posts per day that look like this... When you take a look at the Guest forum and sort the posts by Start Date, you can clearly see how underutilized this forum actually is. MOST of our activity comes from members who have registered accounts. We have only had 22 topics/questions from unregistered guests since our community's inception in August of 2023, with only 15 of those being within the last 12 months. If you want to participate in this community, you can register for an account. It's completely free, and we don't sell or give away your information. We're just a band of brothers and sisters, a tribe of fellow supporters who are interested in diet, nutrition, and health, and not some mega corporation. If you just want to ask a single question, but do not want to interact, participate, or respond to others, you can leave a voicemail. A transcription of your voicemail will be posted for others to read and respond to, and/or your voicemail may be used and answered in a YouTube video.

We also need to be careful about what we we think of as "energy". A lot of people who go on a proper human diet, whether that's low carb, keto, ketovore, or carnivore lose weight, see improvements in their health, and boast about all this "energy" that they now have. But this is in contrast to how slugglish and drained they felt when eating the standard American junk diet and they were unhealthy and possibly overweight. If you were fairly healthy to begin with and ate fairly clean, you might not notice such a drastic change from always wanting to be glued to your chair to having the energy to actually be productive. In short, the more UNhealthy you were prior to starting your health journey, the more "energy" you feel like you gain. It's easy to see the contrast, and for some of us who used to be really unhealthy, this contrast is a major motivator that keeps us living this lifestyle. Since fat is your energy source, make sure you are not skimping on the fat. Eat until you are comfortably stuffed. Drink enough to satisfy your thirst, and you could try a little electrolyte supplementation. This is usually needed early on in your journey, but not so much after a year or so.

No. This isn't to say that insect protein and insect consumption isn't nutritious. It certainly can be. But it doesn't offer any advantage over typical mammal, bird, and aquatic animals. It's just another alternate source of food... if needed.

I did get another renal panel done, which was a net positive. I'll be releasing a video with an update soon. I didn't get a lipid panel. I should have, but at the moment I could care less about my trigs, ldl, etc, as I am more focused on my kidney health.

So last night the wife and I went out for date night, dinner and karaoke. So we had Applebee's and I got the Quesadilla Burger with NO tortilla, an extra burger patty, and broccoli instead of fries. Then at karaoke I did have a rum & diet coke for the liquid courage to get up and sing, lol.

That's nice. When I started, the stricter I got with my eating, the more garbage my wife would buy and bring into the house. She would make yum yum noises and rub it in and say "I can eat anything I want". I would responde, "So can I. The difference is I don't want any of that crap" lol. Since then, she's actually gone more part time keto, part time animal-based, and still falls off the wagon here and there. But she's lost a decent amount of weight, so my steadfastness ultimately proved to be a motivator for her.

All this went down in your early teens? Wowsers! I'm sorry you had to deal with any of that at such a young age. Your comment caught me off guard.

"But Abel brought some firstlings of his flock, including their fat." - Genesis 4:4 So the sacrifice was more than just 1 sheep. Throughout scripture, the FAT is always noted to be the most valuable and best part of the animal. Did Abel know this about the fat? If so, how? What happened to the rest of the animal? Was it burned entirely? Left in a field to rot?

This is basically a note to myself. As of this post, here are the entries gained so far, not including bonus entries for attending the Monday zoom meetings... @Geezy 5 @Scott F. 8 @Joanna 7 @Carburetor 4 @Orweller 1 @CarnivoreSince2018 1 @InMyOpinion 2 I know I still have to film the drawing for the January winner. I've just been busy, plus I had an accident that left a large gash on my forhead that I really don't want to see on camera, lol 😛

I've intermittent fasted most days this month, but not all of them. I'm still trying to make it a routine. Sometimes it depends on my dinner. If I eat late I will eat light, and therefore will be hungry come morning.

Welcome aboard Ashley! If you don't mind, what are the medications you are taking and what conditions were they prescribed for? Good choice with the pasta and the rice. They have got to go. Cheese on the other hand is a toss up. It's generally considered safe and healthy on a keto, ketovore, or carnivore lifestyle. However, there are individuals who are addicted to cheese and can easily overeat cheese. Cheese is a dairy product - that is, made from milk, and milk is designed to fatten up a young mammal during it's formative years. So basically, if you can't control your dairy consumption due to addiction, it could be a roadblock to weight loss. Many of us though enjoy cheese just fine, we just treat it as a condiment and not the main course. Generally speaking, you want to fill half your plate or more with fatty meat, and the other half or less with low carb veggies. Eat 2-3 meals a day with no snacking. Avoid all grains and refined sugar, which completely axes processed food. And then avoid or minimize seed oils as much as possible - the biggest obstacles being mayo and dressings, which are soybean oil based. You don't have to obsess over this, as a little here and there won't kill you, especially since you cut out all the seed oils from processed foods. But if you can, look for avocado oil based mayo and if you are a salad gal, find some true pure olive oil and vinegar. Start there, and we will help you along the way.

There is a lot of theories to this, and unfortunately the Bible doesn't elaborate. I actually plan to do a video(s) on this topic in the future. But here are some speculations. One or more of these could be correct. They all could be correct. They all could be wrong. I may or may not personally believe in all of the things I am about to type... A) Notice the sudden drop in lifespan after the flood. This implies at least a couple things... Man was closer to perfection before the flood. Conditions on earth were different before the flood To elaborate on #2, many believe the Bible speaks of a water canopy that was suspended above the earth. This canopy allowed more temperate climates around the whole globe, including in the poles, thus serving as an explanation on why certain mammals have been found fossilized in the far northern and southern extremities of the planet when they normally would not be well-suited to inhabit those areas. Much of the flood waters is the result of this water/vapor canopy collapsing. That canopy may have also protected us from harmful radiation from the sun, thus the longer lifespans. Without the canopy there, we are more susceptible to aging, harm, and mutation. Much of what we ate before the flood may no longer exist, and meat would fill that void. OR, because of that harmful exposure that we would now be subject to with the canopy gone, the nutrition found in meat would counteract those negative effects. B) BLOOD was set aside and designated for a symbolic purpose after the flood. After the flood, we see the first reference to eating meat. However, it was at the same time stated that the blood was sacred, represented one's life force, and belonged to the creator. It belonged to him and him alone, and so when you slaughtered an animal, you were required to bleed it to the best of your ability, pouring out on the ground thus returning it to it's rightful owner. Your blood is not yours to do with what you want. It's "on loan" to you, so to speak. All of this may have been because the spilling of blood would be used to atone for one's sins, and ultimately the spilling of Jesus blood would atone for the sins of all (believing) mankind. C) We've eaten meat all along. The bit about blood in section B above could all still be true, but we ate meat all along. Only after the flood was it made clear not to eat blood because of it's sacred-use significance. After all, we have some questions regarding.... Why did Abel think killing animals would please God? God made Adam and Eve garments made from animal skins? And what does that imply? And then there is much evidence in the way of stone tools, cave paintings, etc, that depict humans being hunters way back in the distant past. Add to that, our intestines and digestive tract bears a design similar to that of carnivorous animals, and NOT that of herbivores. We have a limited capacity to digest plant matter. We thrive on meat and make almost complete use of it, but we struggle to digest plants, whether we are dealing with antinutrients, plant toxins, gas, bloat, and fiber that we poo out undigested. It's almost as if we were DESIGNED to eat a carnivore-centric diet with a little fruitage here and there. So either A) God designed us this way from the beginning, or B) the human digestive tract experienced rapid adaptation after the flood with the introduction of meat in our diets. I still toss this one around in my noggin. I affiliate with a religious organization that teaches nobody ate meat before the flood. But humans aren't the brightest and have proven they will stick anything in their mouths. Plus I meander on the questions I brought up above. At the same time, it's not a salvation issue. My faith doesn't hinge on the "mystery" of finding an accurate answer to the above questions.

Last night we were invited over to my son's girlfriends house by her father to watch the Superbowl. The dad had made italian sausages in the crockpot, simmered in a tomato based sauce, which I enjoyed with a fork since I won't touch the hoagie buns. The girl made a buffalo chicken dip, which I had with pork rinds since I don't do potato chips or corn chips. My wife brought a fruit tray with strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, with which I did enjoy some berries. Cantaloupe and honeydew melon are nasty though, lol.

Dark mode is coming soon in a future update. Invision Community 5 has just been released, which I will upgrade to eventually. I usually like to wait for a few updates to come first because there are always some bugs to be ironed out in the beginning... https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/475779-invision-community-5-dark-mode-accessibility-performance-and-mobiles/

Welcome aboard. I may not have seen the other thread/topic yet, but I just wanted to add that much of that initial weight loss may just be water. When you eliminate carboHYDRATEs from your diet, you lose a lot of water weight up front.

Welcome aboard. Barring other health conditions, in general the BP should come down. Mine came down a significantly, but I still take my meds because my BP can run high due to my chronic kidney disease. Regarding cardiologists, you might just have to be upfront about it. "I'm on a very meat-centric diet, which I have put in a significant amount of time studying and researching, and I am committed to sticking to this lifestyle for the rest of my life. I am looking for a doctor who is open to working with a patient like me and honor my choices, and wish to avoid someone who's strongly entrenched feelings of veganism or a plant-based diet might cause a conflict of interest between us. Would you be that doctor?"

I am curious what these 5 stages may be.

Nice find. I'm watching it now and saving it to a playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG8aHuvpCCtm2--xeQaPU6gYWBPsQJEPN If anyone wants to collaborate and add other documentaries to the playlist, let me know.

Yesterday we went to Texas Roadhouse and I got the sirloin and shrimp combo. The 8oz sirloin was cooked to perfection, totally moist and melted in my mouth. I may cook a good steak, but not this good. I needz to know their secrets, lol.

I had a busy week so I am doing some catching up, but intermittent fasting has been a success. I've managed to not eat until noon or 1pm each day, and then have dinner around 7-8pm. When I eat, it has to count though. If I have something small for my first meal after not eating for 16+ hours it doesn't satiate me for long and I am ravenous. When I practice IF, I have to eat bigger meals.

It's been a while since I've practiced any fasting. I've done a few 24 hour fasts, and my longest was 40 hours. But my goal for February is to reintroduce intermittent fasting. Tea keeps me satiated. I bought a new tumbler and plan to sip hot tea from the time I wake up until lunch time at work.

Welcome aboard!
