I can eat beef, butter, bacon, and eggs, for any meal, every day, and never get bored. Ground beef is "ole trusty". Cheap, easy to prepare, and packed with nutrition. I just change up how I prepare it from day to day. Chopped up one day, made into patties the next, then another day rolled into meatballs with a cheese cube in the center, then taco seasoned, then on an Egg Life wrap, then as a meat loaf, etc, etc. It's fairly versatile, lol.

Dr. Berry often refers to the Proper Human Diet (which is a spectrum with carnivore on one end, and up to 100 carbs a day on the other end) as, not a weight loss diet, but a weight optimization diet. For 5'10", is it possible that you could stand to put on a few pounds? For comparison, my ideal day looks like this... Brunch: 4 eggs (280 cals) and 4 Jimmy Dean sauage patties (560 cals) cooked in butter (unknown cals, let's call it 100) = 940 calories. Dinner: One 15-20oz New York Strip (620-775 calories if trimmed to 1/8 fat) cooked in tallow or butter (unknown cals, let's call it 100) = 875 Total caloric intake = 1815 <- I will lose weight if I stick to this. Often times, I add lunch in there, whether I pack or grab some fast food burger patties (4 x 220 = 880). This will bring my total caloric intake to 2695 <- I will maintain weight if I eat like this. And then, if snack on cheese or beef sticks inbetween meals, I run the risk of gaining weight. @Orweller brings up some good points about water, sleep, and stress. I might ask if you drink any artificially sweetened beverages. For most people this is fine, but for many others this will trigger a cephalic phase insulin response, and raised insulin levels will contribute to weight gain. Also, what time do you eat dinner? If I eat and then go to bed, I will absolutely gain weight. I have to eat at least 4 hours before going to sleep, and better for me if I go even longer. And this is what your body was used to. Now you are working out less and eating more. You could try amping up your workout routine closer to what it was. This will help you expend that energy AND potentially gain some muscle, which will increase your metabolism. At the same time, you could try OMAD, adjusting your intermittent fasting window, cutting back some on the food, etc.

There could be a coupe things going on here. If it is light red, and ends up on the toilet paper when you clean up, it's likely a hemorrhoid or you just busted a vessel (anal fissure) when passing or wiping. This is more likely to happen if you were constipated and straining. In the first several weeks of keto and especially carnivore, you may notice unpredictable stools - diarrhea one time, and then hard as a rock the next, and vice versa. Eventually this will normalize. If it's a LOT of blood and dark red or blackish, that might signify internal bleeding further up in the digestive tract. This could be from diverticulitis, colitis, gastroenteritis, polyps, upper GI bleed, and more. If the LOTS of dark maroon blood continues to be an issue, you will want to see a doctor to rule out anything serious.

The initial weight loss is dramatic. A lot of it is the loss of excess water because you are not eating carboHYDRATEs <- get it? After that initial weight loss, it will work itself down to 1-2 pounds a week on average, with occasional plateaus that will frustrate you. But keep doing what you're doing. Oftentimes when you're stalled, your still losing inches, or the body is focused on healing something instead. Sometimes, the rapid weight loss causes the body to go into "conservation mode" because normally rapid weight loss is a negative sign - disease or famine. But eventually your body realizes it's not starving to death and the weight loss resumes. If it goes on for too long, we got some tricks up our sleeve. But when you get within range of your ideal weight, the last 10-15 pounds are the most stubborn, and you gotta work for it, lol.

Welcoem aboard Aisha! I think this diet is exactly what you need. For what it's worth, I have successfully reversed my hypertension and my pre-diabetes with my carnivore diet and accompanying weight loss.

Thanks everyone. This one was actually a lot of fun to make. I think my editing/production was much improved too. I'm a bit rusty since I had stopped making YouTube videos in 2016/17

Tonight, I made another tomahawk/cowboy ribeye. This one clocked in at 3.25 pounds and fed my wife, myself, and this girl that comes over and hangs out with my kids and has a gluten intolerance - so she couldn't partake in the pizza that the rest of the friend group went to get. It was about 3" thick and took an hour to cook on the grill. I made it medium-well to appeal to my wife, and that dang thing kept cooking even after removing it and slicing it up for everyone. That was the only downside. I prefer a medium steak myself.

Well yesterday we had a pool party. In fact, we've had pool parties every evening this week because it has been absolutely ROASTING outside. Afterwards, my kids and their friends wanted to go to Mexican. I was just gonna throw a steak on the grill but then the wife said she was paying, lol. So I did have my ribeye, chicken breast, and shrimp meal again. Had a side of sliced avacado and gave the rice to my daughter. Also, my cherry trees are in season (the same tree that broke my ankle this year), so we've been picking at them. Gotta keep your eyes open for worms though, lol.

I hear this term tossed around a lot. I need to look into exactly what this is.

I got roasted online after posting a picture of the quarter pound patties I got from McDonald's the other day. A whole host of people said it's not real beef, that it's soy, worms, cardboard, or human flesh, even challenging me to look it up online. So, I did. In this video I demonstrate that McDonald's hamburger patties are indeed 100% real beef, and take a little dive into where these crazy rumors come from, and why they still persist.

Sausage for breakfast. Beef jerky around midday as a hold-me-over, and then after swimming in the pool I grilled some NY Strips.

If you want to gain muscle, then lift heavy things. If you want to gain fat, you might need to consume more and incorporate more carbohydrates, the safer, less-toxic kinds.

And ruminant animals, with their multichambered stomachs, do even better and breaking down the plant's self defense toxins that they consume. That's why beef is one of the purest, most nutrient dense foods available. Disgusting, lol. Do have a reference for that in a study somewhere? That would be a valuable reference/resource. I was listening to a video while driving around this morning that said the very same thing about organic foods and spray-overs. Here in the USA, if an animal is given an antibiotic, the law requires several weeks to pass before that animal can be slaughtered, to give it's body enough time to exrete or break it down. The odds of ingesting antibiotics are actually pretty low.

Exactly! lol. I've been told this about several issues - and I've fixed every one of them WITH diet. Sigh!

Just had 4 sausage patties this morning. For lunch I snacked on some beef jerky, beef sticks, and some cheese. I'm thinking about doing another 30 days all Lion Diet, but I might wait until September. So much going on in the summer time.

Oh that looks really interesting. I haven't. The closest thing I have used to one is an old George Foreman grill, which is designed to let the fat roll away from your food to be collected and disposed of. Now that I'm mostly carnivore, I wouldn't dream of letting that wonderful fat go down the drain, lol.

This morning I had corned beef that comes in a can. It's delicious. Many people have had "Hash" which is canned corned beef mixed with diced potatoes. But you can get it with just the corned beef by itself. I'm the only one that eats it, so I ate it all. It was plenty and didn't need an egg or anything to go with it. Dinner was ground beef while everyone that was over for our little pool party had pizza.

I quite coffee out of desperation in summer 2019. The medical insurance I elected in January of that year REFUSED to pay for my ulcerative colitis meds, which without insurance costs around $2000 USD/mo. So I stopped taking them. By the time March came around I knew I was in trouble because the symptoms started returning. My early May they were debilitating again. My previous doctor said it was not diet related and there was nothing I could do. I started eliminating things from my diet anyway. And over time, as I was reading forums like this one that centered around IBS, IBD, Crohn's, and Colitis, I came across many people who talked about how coffee was a trigger. Well, I would drink and ENTIRE POT on the daily. So I decided to quit, cold turkey, since that was one thing I hadn't eliminated yet. And to my delight, my symptoms went away. I've remained prescription free since 2019.

Is that the show on the History Channel that's 8 seasons and counting so far? I never heard of it, but I just Google'd it. @ol_hilly's comment made me think this was a YouTube series.

I'm definitely saving money on this way of eating. Around here, eggs are cheap and ground beef is reasonable. They are satiating and so I am not snacking all day long on process junk that just keep fueling my hunger. I use a lot less TP also from a roll a day when I had ulcerative colitis to just a few squares a few times a week. Quitting coffee has saved me tons. Mind you, before this, I was all about the convenience. Hitting up Starbucks in the morning, fast food for lunch, and dining out at dinner were regular features of mine several days a week. Now I only occasionally do any of that. Truthfully, just learning to cook at home, regardless of what diet you are doing, will save you some cash.

What's that? When I think of a Taurus I think of a car manufactured by Ford. When I Google it, I just get pages of results about astrological stuff.

Dude, my dog is so spoiled, lol. She get's her own little portion of scraps or leftovers several times a week.

I worked at Papa John's Pizza, Marco's Pizza, and East of Chicago Pizza as well as a local place called Guido's Pizza back in the 90's and none of them ever used oils on their pizza. Now, with that said, shredded cheese has some fillers/anti-caking agents in it, but it's pretty benign. My son picks the cheese off his pizza and I in turn gobble it up, lol. I'll occasionally get a "pizza bowl" if the wife is buying pizza for everyone else that night (complete with the tomato sauce). I personally do not fund pizza purchase, lol 😄 I've become very fond of lamb. I'll get ground lamb, lamb chops, and the lamb ribs. Sam's sells a 5lb leg of lamb that I haven't got yet, but should. I just think I need a bigger knife first, lol.

This is true. That's why they call it the "Standard American Diet". It's SAD (get it, lol ). Glyphosate. They spray it on everything. It is best to try and avoid consuming anything treated with glyphosate as much as humanly possible, for sure. 👍 Glad to hear she has found a way to find some relief. As you may recall, I had terrible ulcerative colitis. I cured mine by quitting coffee. This fixed it to where I didn't need meds anymore. I feel like my carnivore diet put the final nail in the coffin of my UC but I can't really prove it. Quitting coffee gets most of the credit in my case. What was in the coffee? Who knows? Oxylates maybe. Too much caffeine. Glyphosate. Mold. A combination of all of the above? I'm just glad it's gone and I still have my colon. I doubt Roundup will get banned in the USA. Money controls everything over here.
