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!

Hi Angela. This was way back in December 2023, over a year ago, which was the last time I had Covid. I'm just a little confused here. You quoted yourself and then responded to yourself. Who are you talking to? 😄 I just want to make sure you account hasn't been compromised.

Well, my health took a turn for the worse. My kidney function has deteriorated rapidly. But is my carnivore diet to blame? Or, is it something else? Am I headed for dialysis, a transplant, or death? Or is there a way I can undo this damage? I discuss all of this and more in this video - which is an addendum to my previous Triglycerides video where I had gave my support for a regimen that I now think is harmful.

And in the meantime, let's continue the conversation in this new FASTING FEBRUARY topic...

Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it! For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping). An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, 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. Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming. Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

It's now February 1st, and any further comments on this post do not count as entries. I will tally up all entries and share them shortly.

Thanks Geoff. This was actually a lot of fun to record and edit. It wasn't gonna be my next video, but I had to react when I saw this in the news, lol.

The news media is blaming the Carnivore Diet for a man from Tampa, Florida, who developed xanthelasma, a condition where yellowish, fatty deposits form under the skin. His alleged diet was admittedly extreme, which involved consuming 6-9 pounds of cheese on a daily basis, as well as multiple sticks of butter, and hamburgers with extra fat mixed in the minced meat. Apparently his cholesterol levels skyrocketed to over 1000 mg/dL, significantly higher than the normal level of less than 200 mg/dL2. Is this story true? Could other underlying conditions be at the root of his xanthelasma? Was he REALLY following a true carnivore diet? Is the carnivore diet safe and beneficial.

Welcome to the tribe!

Happy Monday everyone! Remember there is a Zoom meeting tonight, in about 45 minutes.

Welcome aboard Lauren. Your still relatively new to the way of eating, even after 3 weeks. The adaptation/transition period, characterized by the unpredictable back and forth between feelings of constipation and diarrhea, and lethargy is typically 3-6 weeks. It was almost 2 months for me. Even then, fat adaptation takes time. When I started the carnivore diet I had a broken ankle, so I was sitting around and napping often anyway, so I can't say if I experienced the same thing. Carb Manager is a handy app and it is free to download and use on a smart phone (at least on Andriod). You can track your calories (not so important) and macros with it to be sure. You want to aim for 30% calories from protein, 70% calories from fat, and 0% (-ish) calories from carbs. This can be accomplished with a 1g of fat per 1g of protein ratio. Your menu looks alright but I would double check the cottage cheese, cream cheese and homemade buffalo sauce for any hidden carbs or sugars. Congrats on your first 10 lbs. Is it your aim to lose weight?

Welcome aboard Manuel! This is good. Glad to hear it! If you're in a northern climate like me, it could be the cold. January is being brutal to us this year where I live. My lipped are chapped. My legs itch from dry skin, etc. Also remember that you initially lose a lot of water and water weight, because you are not consuming carboHYDRATEs. This is why a lot of us drink a little extra water and take an electrolyte supplement in the beginning of our carnivore journey. You might want to consider doing the same to ensure that you are not dehydrated or mineral deficient. This could be. When I was obese I had smooth skin because of the fat in my face. When I lost the weight, I got wrinkles, lol.

Yes, Dr. Berry's comments need to be taken in their context. He is saying that you can do a carnivore diet even with cheap cuts of meat, including hot dogs, and still see the beneficial effects. Meat is meat, and some hot dogs actually contain nutritious bits of meats that often get tossed out or overlooked, such as organ meats. At the same time, you have to look at the ingredients lists, and many cheap hotdogs contain fillers, seed oils, cornstarch, etc. And yes, he is contrasting a "hot dog and bologna" diet with that of a standard American diet of cookies, cakes, pasta, pies, chips, snacks, etc. The cheap meat-based diet is the better alternative and might improve your health. BUT... he's not a strict carnivore. He advocates what he has coined as "The Proper Human Diet" which is a spectrum of carnivore on the one end, and up to 100g of all-natural carbohydrate on the other end, depending on your personal physiology. That's why I talk about a "carnivore-centric" diet here, because I am willing to acknowledge that while human physiology definitely favors that of a carnivore, we still designed and equipped to handle some vegetation, and have been eating plants just as long as we've been eating meat and breathing air.
