The meat and fruit diet: Does it work?
Just to recap, I've made the following statements to you repeatedly over the last few months.... "Humans always ate berries and seasonal fruit, even way back in the beginning. (from this post) "A proper human diet is a low carbohydrate, meat-based diet that generally ranges from zero to 100 carbs per day. It does not necessarily have to be 100% carnivore. If you cut out processed food and stick to natural meats, dairy, fruit, and vegetables and avoid processed food, you will likely thrive." (from this post) "If you can hunt it, milk it, or pluck it from the branch or vine, it's probably fair game, depending on your personal physiology and what your personal goals are. (from just a few comments above) If you haven't figured out that we're a reasonable bunch, who are not dogmatic about the type of carnivore-centric diet you want to adopt, whether that's full of keto friendly low carb veggies, fruit & honey, or all of the above, then isn't it you who are making assumptions?

Truth
But what is irrational about trying a carnivore diet? Mankind has been eating meat for ages. Ultra-processed foods, seed oils, refined sugars and grains, and genetically modified crops are all recent phenomena that also coincides with the sudden rise in several chronic and auto-immune diseases. We simply don't think that is a coincidence, and are willing to go out of our way to eat like our great grandparents ate, or like humans ate centuries or millenia ago. We reverse disease and suddenly find ourselves winning the weight loss game that we had been losing at all our lives. How is that irrational? Now granted, there are some people who live for being labeled. They just eat meat, salt, and water, and will jump at the opportunity to tell you your seasonings, beverage, or occasional plants "aren't carnivore" as if they are better than you. That's the cultish mentality, basically a meat-eating vegan, lol. Just brush it off. What Dr. Berry refers to as a Proper Human Diet is a spectrum. Pure carnivore is simply at one end. You may function best somewhere in the middle.

Seeing is Believing! My Amazing Carnivore Diet Results! [Video/Podcast]
Well for what it's worth, I've been stagnant and maintaining since November. I did achieve my goal weight of 175, but still have a little belly. My son, 17, and an inch taller than me, weighs 149 now so I would like to push for another 15 lb loss and reach 160. But like I said in the video, I think I am going to have to work for it with weights, my treadmill, and some intermittent fasting thrown in. After my ankle healed, I returned to work, and working makes me hungry, so now I am back to 3 meals a day and some snacking. It's all carnivore, but it keeps my insulin and blood sugars elevated all the time which will inhibit the weight loss. It was easy as pie to intermittently fast when my ankle was broken, because I just sat around in the recliner, not burning much energy at all.

Negative feedback loop
I may have mentioned this in another thread. I got the Ninja Creami, and so I have been experiementing with trying to make a decent carnivore or keto ice cream. So far the batches I have made have been decent, but not spectacular. It's basically heavy cream and egg yolks. I've tried one batch sweetened with raw honey and another with allulose. It was again, good and satisfies, but certainly makes it clear just how much SUGAR must go in regular ice cream. It's similar but not the same. I recently found a connection to get raw milk, raw cream, and raw cheese from a farm nearby. I might try a combination of milk and cream instead of heavy cream alone, and see if that improves it any.

Jesus was NOT a vegan - Behind the Christspiracy! [Video/Podcast]
Yeah, I've got 4 comments so far. Geoff and my reply, plus 2 vegans, one wanting to debate live, lol. The YouTube algorithm is tricky, hard to train, and the "competition" is fierce. It actually takes a long time to get the ball rolling. I worked on my other channel for years and SLOWLY grew a small following. I do think this one will do better. I just need to make more content and make more noise.

Jesus was NOT a vegan - Behind the Christspiracy!
. A vegan propaganda film called Christpiracy makes the bold, yet false claim that Jesus was a vegetarian and was against eating animals of all sorts. In order to perpetuate this misinformation on Piers Morgan Unscensored, they misquote the Bible, twist Jesus words, mistranslate Koine Greek, and cite non-biblical texts, spurious texts, and documents that don't even exist. In this video I scrutinize their claims and show you the obvious - that Jesus ate lamb and fish among other meats and loved every last bite.

Negative feedback loop
They might rethink this after you fire it up, lol 😄 Glad you are feeling better. I've yet to succumb to any processed junk food. I'm striving to maintain my vow never to eat refined sugar or grains ever again. If I cheat, it's with single-ingredient whole foods, whether it be a fruit or vegetable. I will say that sometimes even that will make me feel drained for a few hours, typically if I ate a salad. I need to test whether it's the plants or the dressing, but I suspect it's the dressing. It's literally the only time I might consume a seed oil, about once in any given month.

5 months on carnivore and need help
There can be a balancing act here. Too much fat will produce looser stools because you don't have enough bile on hand in your gal bladder to help digest it, so it passes through you and out the back door. ON THE OTHER HAND, a diet that is high protein with very little fat will also result in diarrhea. You may need to track your macros for a while to find your personal perfect balance. So yes, give the sirloin a try. Or trim *some* of the fat from your striploins and ribeye's. If you grill them you can lose a bunch of fat through the grates. But remember, most people try to eat high fat, even adding butter to their steaks, especially if they lose a lot of fat from grilling. I tried to cut the fat way down last autumn and I also started having chronic diarrhea (vs. occasional diarrhea). I stopped minimizing fat and added cheese back to my diet and things stiffened up. I've since heard that dairy, particularly cheese, can be a natural constipator.

Carnivore is a fanatical right-wing, male diet, right?
No it isn't, lol. But the article is written by Nina Teicholz, who authored "The Big Fat Surprise". She's a good person and is on our side 😉 Her article is quite lengthy, so much so that I didn't feel comfortable copying and pasting the whole thing. It's more of a long-winded blog entry and isn't likely to go anywhere soon, unlike some of these media stories that disappear after a while.

Daily Movement Goals
I haven't used my treadmill yet. I think I need to. I was running with my dog at the park and my legs just felt super heavy. Hopefully I am just out of practice. I don't run much these days.

What Did You Eat Today?
1) White bread? 2) Chocolate? 3) EGGS! I had eggs this morning for breakfast. Beef bologna with pepper jack cheese in an Egg Life wrap for lunch, and probably 20oz of NY Strip for dinner. I might comment on my lack of variety once in a while, but truthfully I am quote content eating eggs and beef 95% of the time.

Carnivore is a fanatical right-wing, male diet, right?
Carnivore is a fanatical right-wing, male diet, right? The media shoehorns carnivore into a culture-war narrative, far from the truth. NINA TEICHOLZ MAY 17, 2024 To read the stories on carnivore is to learn that the diet is the domain of toxic right-wing, muscle-obsessed men, aligned with “hustle and gym bro culture.” A typical introduction to meat-eating in these articles might be an image of a cowboy or grill-happy dude in a red state where “[S]erving beef at your cookout is as a patriotic as buying a gun” (New Yorker, 2019). Carnivores who eat mostly meat, we’re told, come “tauntingly close to…toxic, alpha-male culture (Bon Appetit); they’re “stoking a rising wave of toxic masculinity online” (Rolling Stone) and represent a “stomach-churning embrace of [the] hypermasculine” (The New Republic). Veins bulging out of their oversized arms, carnivore men who would have previously been “outcast[s], living on the fringes of society” can now use social media to inflict themselves on our attention, causing us to be “pulveris[z]ed by the worst cunts alive” (Vice). This florid, dehumanizing language is, shockingly, the norm. Journalists have worked themselves into a frenzy of hyperbolic descriptions, which is alarming given that—can we agree?—discussions on food and health should not, as a starting point, be heavily politicized. People select what they eat often for health reasons, and as we’ll see, the choice of meat is no different. {MORE} --------------------------- The above is just a snippet.

Art at school?
In the elementary years, I think it's good to expose children to the various arts. This way we can see if any of them might resonate with students. I personally loved my art and music classes and elected to take them in later years. Mandatory? Like you need so many art credits in order to graduate? No, this should not be the case.

Bloating
Sorry it took so long to approve this post. I was at work today, and then afterwards I was recording and editing in a video. When you say bloating, are you talking about gas, or a swollen stomach? Your diet should not be producing any gas. You could try eliminating the eggs. They can be a food sensitivity for certain individuals. It's rare, but you can acquire sensitivities later in life. You might want to make an appointment with a doctor to check for any possible medical condition. Constipation, irritable syndrome, heart failure and kidney issues, as well as fluctuating hormones during menstruation can cause bloating.

If it's histamine intolerance, that combination should bring notable improvements. In the meantime, you can focus on... Fresh meat (cooled, frozen, or fresh) Chicken (cooled, frozen, or fresh) Bison Beef (only if unaged and not ground) Chicken breast, boneless Duck Eggs Goose Lamb Ostrich Pork (only if unaged and not ground) Alligator

It's slightly more nutritious but since you eat some liver on the side it's a non-issue for you. Those multi-chamber ruminant stomachs prevent toxins from the grains from getting into their flesh. I don't go out of my way to get grass fed, although Sam's Club sells 85/15 grass fed burger at a reasonable price so I do get those to eat a few days a week.

I haven't in my case. I am not an avid exerciser and I still take blood pressure meds. What is your current resting heart rate? Is it still under 100? I've heard that a heart beats better when burning ketones vs glucose. A lot of people will lay down to go to sleep and hear their heart beat and get worried. My heartbeat is definitely more noticeable when lying down to go to sleep than it was previously, but it's nothing of any concern.

That's awesome. I too have (or had) ulcerative colitis and am also medication free at the moment. Sounds like you have the "keto rash", For many people, they hang in there and it will go away. It could be happening for various reasons, and we just have to narrow down the cause. 1) Histamine intolerance -> You may have trouble breaking down histamines. This can be a problem with aged beef. Those with a histamine intolerance need to purchase the freshest meat possible. Like, get to know your local butcher/rancher and get your meat from something just slaughtered. Much of the meat we get from the store has already aged several weeks. You could also try a variety by adding eggs, chicken, pork, seafood, etc to your diet. 2) Nutrional deficiencies -> not very likely with ribeyes and livers, however, you could round it out with some other animals like mentioned above, or with eggs, etc. 3) Detox/Oxalate Dumping -> If you previously has an oxylate rich diet, you may be dumping oxylate crystals that you were previously hoarding. I think if it was histamine intolerance, you would have had this issue early on. Regarding the loose stools, the general guideline is to back off the fat. If you eat too much fat and your gall bladder doesn't have enough bile on hand to help digest it, the excess will pass through you. But, from personal experience, when I added back cheese things thickened up for me, which actually runs counter to that advice. There seems to be a balance between too much and too little fat. Let us know how it goes. Welcome aboard!

This is true. Organ meats are nutritional powerhouses. Liver is often cited as being "natures multivitamin". I've heard you can overdo it. For example, too much liver can result in vitamin A toxicity or copper toxicity, but I think you have to be eating a lot of it all the time. And it depends on what animal also. Beef and chicken livers are fine in moderation, but a Polar Bear liver could kill you with just one meal. But I am glad to hear that you are doing so well with your carnivore eating choices.

So this was actually a fantastic listen. Yes indeed, Big Food and Big Pharma are looking out for their interests, not yours.
