The calories don't necessarily have to decrease. If I recall, people like Shawn Baker and Anthony Chaffee, who are cut and work out, both eat about 3 pounds of meat each day. Those of us who are trying to lose weight usually add in intermittent fasting, and only eat 1-2 pounds a day, and might average half those calories or slightly more.

Fixed, lol. What are we? Cows? lol. The irony is, that even the processed meat products are waaaay more rich in nutrients than the ultraprocessed grain products. I think when they refer to ultra-processed meat, they're having in mind Slim-Jim's, salami, and maybe certain sausages, which to their credit, is often not full of clean ingredients anyway. Because that's 100% reliable, lol. Please reply in detail what you ate over the last 4 years below

For the sake of preserving the article, should it disappear....

This is true. Eh, maybe at first. But in time, you train your taste buds to enjoy savory dishes, and the cookies, cakes, pies, and candy begin to look like what it actually is - not real food. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy fruit when I choose to have it. And yes, you bet I would love some sweets if I chose to have them to. But crave them? Nah, as long as I keep abstaining from them, or keep it to a what they were always meant to be... a rare, occasional treat... then so-called "cravings" never have to be an issue.

I would be very happy if all my numbers looked this good. Yes, the HDL could be bumped up a few points, but overall you are looking just fine with these numbers, as far as these markers go.

Excuse me? We have tried to help you with very rational strategies to try implementing. That does leave us wondering if you are really reading our posts. Which we haven't done here. We've only tried to offer helpful suggestions. There's no carnivore police here. There is no "cult of carvivore" here. We warmly welcome members who take a carnivore-centric approach to dietining but still eat some plants, whether that's animal-based (with fruit and honey) or ketovore (with cruciferous veggies). Anyone trying to improve their health with a meat-based, single-ingredient, whole-foods diet is one of us. Any "carnivore purist" is going to be expected to be tolerant of them as well. Which is precisely why we let you continuously complain.

I like Dr. Cywes. I have some catching up to do after vacation.

Yes, I enjoyed it. I hope you liked the way I spliced the different camera views together. What took me the longest was correcting the automatic captions. I'm OCD about everything being perfect, lol.

That's good marital advice regardless of the context, lol

Forever the villian, lol. The irony is that the article says... My cognitive function has only been tremendously enhanced.

So I am awake before everyone else down here in Clearwater Beach, thinking to myself - I'm not hungry, I can wait while everyone sleeps in. Then I come and catch up on this thread... and now I am starving, lol Yesterday was a travel day. Ate eggs and cheese at Sanibel before checking out. Then had a Wendy's Baconator - no bun, while on the road. We stopped at Venice Beach and then made our way to Clearwater. Got supplies and made dinner - bacon and cheddar burgers - and this mexican queso type thing that we made in the oven and dipped our pork rinds into it. It was good and we have some left over so I'm slathering it over my omelete this morning.

In this video we interview Geoff Klein, a 68 year old gentlemen from Texas who has been doing the carnivore diet since May of 2023. He used to have several metabolic issues, as well as Chrohn's, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The paroxysmal atrial fibrillation would land him in the ICU at the hospital several times each year. But today, thanks to the healing power of meat and the carnivore diet, he no longer suffers these setbacks, and in fact, his cardiologist has taken him off ALL his heart and blood pressure medications.

So, I just bought my first cast iron skillet. I've been seasoning it with coconut oil. When I am done cooking, I take the extremely hot pan over to the sink and spray it down with water - as hot as the water can get. Then, I use this little chain mail looking thing specifically designed for cleaning cast iron, but only if there is something stubborn on it that won't spray off. Then I dry immediately and grease it up again.

So yesterday was spent flying. At the airport, there was a Dunkin' Donuts. I ordered egg bites, and they were willing to ring up a side of sausage for $1.10. For some reason, when I opened the container it had 3 sausage patties in it. I was very happy, lol. Then by the time we settled into our room and went for supplies it was late, so I had a meat snack and some pork rinds with a little salsa for dipping.

Why a healthy brain requires a meaty diet Story by Emily Craig Nutrients from meat such as steak help bone health, fertility and immune function© Provided by The Telegraph We all think we know what we should be doing to keep our brains fit, whether it’s learning a new language, socialising or getting enough sleep. Among this catalogue of habits, eating a juicy steak is unlikely to be at the top of your list. But it should be, according to one Harvard-trained psychiatrist who specialises in nutrition science and brain metabolism. She recently claimed that the brain “needs meat” because it is jam-packed with nutrients that are either difficult or impossible to get from plant sources. Scientists and nutrition experts seem to agree. “Animal-sourced foods – meat, fish, dairy and eggs – are nutrient-rich foods,” says Alice Stanton, a professor of cardiovascular therapeutics at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, who has authored reports warning against shunning meat from our diet. A diet that consists exclusively of plant-based foods risks the brain as well as bone health, fertility and immune function, she warns. Why is meat good for the brain? Meat, particularly red meat, is one of the best sources of zinc. A 250g steak contains around 10.3mg – surpassing the daily recommended intake for men (9.5mg) and women (7mg). Failing to include enough of this mineral in your diet can lead to cognitive impairment – difficulties remembering, learning and concentrating – according to Dr Katherine Livingstone, a senior research fellow at the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia. B12 – a vitamin found only in animal products – is another reason to eat meat, as it is vital for the healthy function and development of brain and nerve cells. “Deficiencies may impact on our memory, thinking and social abilities as we age,” Dr Livingstone adds. Adults are advised to eat 1.5 micrograms (mcg) per day. Liver (100mcg per 120g), beef (4.4mcg per 250g) and chicken (0.53mcg per 150g) are among the most potent sources.

Eating enough of this macronutrient can lower the risk of dementia by a fifth, according to a study from the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. This may be down to protein supporting the function of neurons in the brain, the scientists suggested. UK health advice sets out that people need around 0.75g of protein per kilogram of body weight, which equates to around 56g per day for men and 45g for women. Per 100g, chicken (32g), pork chops (31.6g) and lamb chops (29.2g) are the richest sources. For comparison, plant-based sources of protein – such as tofu (8.1g), red lentils (7.6g) and chickpeas (7.2g) – can contain just a quarter of that amount for the same serving size. Prof Ian Givens, the director of the Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health at the University of Reading, notes that meat also contains docosahexaenoic acid, a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that maintains brain and neurological function – though oily fish contains even more. Selenium is a mineral that protects cells from damage and is vital for brain signalling. Men need around 75mcg per day, while women should have around 60mcg. Pork is one of the richest sources (18mcg per 100g), along with chicken thighs (15mcg per 100g) and turkey breast (10mcg per 100g). What meat should we eat and how much? Official UK advice recommends eating no more than 70g of red or processed meat per day – which is around the size of a deck of cards – but there is no official guidance on white meat (chicken and turkey). We all know that red meat can be high in salt and saturated fat, meaning that eating too much over time can raise cholesterol and blood pressure, ultimately contributing to heart and circulatory disease. Diets high in saturated fat have also been linked to poor cognitive function, studies show. The key, as usual, is moderation. Prof Givens recommends eating slightly less than officially recommended – the equivalent of around 50g of unprocessed red meat per day and cutting out processed meat intake to zero. It’s also important to be savvy about the cut of meat you choose. “Fattier cuts, especially red meat, tend to be high in saturated fat. Choose lower-fat versions of minced red meat,” says Rob Hobson, a registered nutritionist and the author of the cookbook Unprocess Your Life. “It doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fattier meats occasionally, but it’s healthier to go for lean meat most of the time. Cuts of poultry like the thigh, drumstick and wings are fattier but you can just remove the skin after cooking if you want to reduce the saturated fat content,” he says. For comparison, 100g of lamb can contain around 20g of saturated fat, while the same amount of turkey breast contains less than 1g. But when it comes to white meat, although it is a good source of lean protein, it contains fewer of the micronutrients found in red meat – especially B12 and iron, Mr Hobson notes. “As plant-based foods have grown in popularity, it has been assumed that meat is bad for you, but in fact it is very nutritious, especially lean red meat. There are wider issues surrounding meat in terms of its impact on the environment but nutritionally lean red meat is more nutritious that lean white meat,” he adds. Prof Givens adds: “The justification for red meat consumption is really a nutritional one so I would go for lean beef, which generally has a higher iron and zinc content than lamb, although both tend to have similar vitamin B12. Pork is generally lower in all these nutrients.” Can vegetarians and vegans still have good brain health? While meat forms part of a healthy diet, people can still get the vitamins they need from plant-based foods – but it can prove more difficult and they will need to take supplements. Vegetarians and vegans need to eat plenty of other sources of protein, such as beans, lentils and quinoa, to make sure they are consuming the right mixture of amino-acids. Additionally, B12 is found naturally only in animal products, meaning those whose diets are plant-based need to eat foods fortified with the vitamin, such as cereal or soya products, or take a supplement. Studies have shown that a B12 deficiency is widespread among vegans. Research has also revealed that the body better absorbs brain-supporting minerals zinc and iron from meat than plants.

I kinda like listening to him. But he's definitely a drug pusher. He basically thinks we all should get on Metformin and Statins as soon as we exit the womb, lol. Basically, if your LDL is above 100, your death is imminent and treating you is an emergency.

This morning's 4 egg omelet had pepper jack cheese, pepperoni, salami, and some banana peppers for a little zing zing, lol. I'm going on vacation tomorrow. When I return it's going to be BBBE for September.

So those are both positives. Reduced inflammation paves the way for some healing to take place. There were periods of time where I also stalled on the scale, but continued to drop notches on my belt. Some people refer to that as body recompositioning. It would be good to know what you are eating and when. If you're still eating 3 meals a day, have you made a point to eliminate snacking? How about not eating at least 3-4 hours before going to bed? How about your choice of beverages? If you're not tracking calories and macros, I would recommend doing so for a few weeks. Carb Manager is a great app and it's free.

No. The guy I keep seeing in my feed is Dr. Mohammed Alo. Interesting, I just looked him up to make sure I had his first name correct and it turns out he's right here with me in Ohio.

You're making excellent progress That initial drastic weight drop is always exciting that first week (the water weight), but then it does slow down and become more realistic. Weight loss isn't linear. Somedays will even go up, leaving you scratching your head, lol. My video on "Seeing is believing" shows my Carb Manager chart over there last several years of my weight loss journey. Down, down, up, down, stall, down, up, up, drastic down, stall again, lol.

I use mustard once in a while, especially if I have kielbasa or a similar sausage. But, I consider myself "mostly carnivore" and not a strict carnivore. To me, mustard is just another seasoning.

Hot dogs isn't high up on my list of staples. nor that of tasty treats, lol. But, I will have them once in while if didn't pack a lunch and my options are limited. I've also attended some graduation parties or family reunions this year where hamburgers and hotdogs were the only meats present, to which I had my fill a'plenty. Like Dr. Berry says, you technically CAN do this diet using hot dogs, vienna sausage, and other cheap forms of meat, and it would still be a whole lot better than the standard american junk diet.
