Bob

This is absolutely spot on. Last Monday, before our live stream, I was on a Zoom call talking to Dr. Jesus Vega, who works with Dr. Ford Brewer... https://prevmedhealth.com/meet-our-providers/ I was talking to him about my triglycerides. His commentary was along the lines of what I already know, in that if I want them to come down, I'll have to burn them off with exercise. But he emphasized that strength training with a particular focus on the legs is the way to go. Cardio, and upper body resistance training has some benefits, but longevity is hugely correlated to leg muscles and leg strength.

That's awesome. Some people look at me really funny when I say my skin tags don't grow back. But it's true. They were wanting to sprout along my neck line for several years and I would keep cutting them off, and the would bleed for so long I would wonder if it was ever going to clot up and stop bleeding. I haven't seen or cut off a skin tag in years now.

Speaking of kidney stones. My brother in law suffers from kidney stones quite often. His doctor always tells him to avoid red meat. I've tried to tell him that's a myth and he swears by what the doctor says, because after all, he's a doctor and I am not. But then I ask him, if red meat causes kidney stones, why have I never had one in my life, and now that I've been carnivore for 2 years, why haven't my kidneys turned into solid rock, lol?

My school lunches were absolute junk, marketed as "healthy". My mother would pack my lunch in the 80's, but it was terrible. PB&J, fruit roll up, oatmeal cream pie, and some raisins to make it legit, lol. I hated my packed lunches, and when possible would beg my dad to pack my lunch instead. He would make a decent sandwich on "whole wheat" bread with meats, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Much better than the PB&J. I would literally trade my sugary lunch packings for someone else's bologna sandwich, carrot sticks, apple, etc. Other kids hated their parents for trying to make them eat whole foods, and when I wanted to trade them for my fruit roll ups, oatmeal cream pies, and granola bars, the other kids were like "hell yeah!" lol :D

And how were they? I would never have dreamed of mixing gummy bears into my sausages. I imagine it was like sweet and sour chicken, lol :P

I'm listening to it right now. I have a friend who suffers terribly from MS. I'd like him to try carnivore. Testimonials like hers prove that it's worth a try.

This is probably great news to those of you who still "need" your daily coffee. Unfortunately for me though, I am afraid that any coffee consumption would signal the return of my ulcerative colitis. I won't risk it.

That would be awesome!

It's a struggle for sure. Basically, we need people whose LOVE for people, for knowledge, and for truth to volunteer their time and resources. But for most of us, time is limited, and time is money. So subsidizing it through voluntary donations and or fund drives is the only thing I can think of. It's a little harder to think this way here in the USA where the almighty dollar rules everything.

Oh that's interesting. I would NEVER even consider microwaving in a plastic bag. That just seems to be common sense to me. I'm surprised Zip-Loc was cool with the idea. Clearly, they shouldn't have been.

Awesome progress, and much congratulations @Scott F. :) You've done so well with regard to the weight loss, and getting to live life without the dependency on daily prescription drugs would have me absolutely glowing as well. If you ever want to talk about that in an interview-style video, either live or prerecorded. Let me know!

Thanks for joining in. And welcome back!

For starters, @Carnivorenewbie - welcome aboard! If you jumped straight from the standard American/Western diet to a strict carnivore diet headfirst, then yeah, the struggle will be real at first. Your body is craving glucose (sugar/carbs) for energy, because that is what it has been accustomed to. The acidity level, gut microbiome, and maybe even bile production will need to adjust to the new types of foods coming down the hatch. Some personality types can handle this sudden drastic change. The symptoms are nicknamed "the keto flu" which can last a few weeks. Of course, the keto flu can be avoided if you transition your diet gradually. First eliminate sugars, then grains, then seed oils, then fruits, then gradually lower even the low carb keto friendly vegetables, over the course of several weeks as you at the same time gradually increase your fatty meat portions. But if you've gone headfirst already and it's been a week, you should probably keep it up. Salt to taste. Take an electrolyte drink supplement. Feel free to eat 3 meals a day and snack (on carnivore friendly foods) in the beginning. As you become fat adapted, your appetite will wane and you notice that you always have energy available - not like Superman or anything, but in the absense of carbs coupled with becoming fat adapted, there are no more crashes to that of complete exhaustion. You CAN do this!

I used to be afraid of oysters, lol. My dad was big oyster kinda guy. He loved them. He had previously gotten me into sardines, so one day I went to the store and next to the sardines was a can of oysters. I bought them, took them home, gave it a go and.... YUCK! I was disgusted. This was probably aroudn 1995. Then a couple years ago right after I started my carnivore diet, we went to a seafood boil style restaurant where they had raw oysters on the half shell. He ordered a dozen, and I told him the story and he said "oh yes, those canned ones are terrible. You need to try one of these" and so I did, and.... OMG! it was heaven in my mouth! Now I get raw oysters on the half shell every time I go out and get seafood. I will eat it with the squeeze of lemon, or the hot sauce, or the horseradish, though. To me all those are seasonings which I am okay with. I wouldn't want ketchup or anything sugary though.

Interesting. I looked it up and yes indeed this seems to be a thing with ACV. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar can enhance the body's ability to absorb essential minerals from food, such as calcium and magnesium. Good tip! I would have tried this in 2024 when I was suffering terribly from late night leg cramps. My problem turned out to be a prescription drug I was on. Now that I stopped taking it my cramping and twitching issues have vanished.
