Awesome! Keep us updated! Onward Carnivore soldier! :) Is remaining OMAD your goal for January? Whey comes from cows, so you're good in my book ;)

Twitter is for the birds, lol. I can't get into Twitter. I may follow a topic or come creators but I can't muster up a following and literally none of my real life friends use it. They are all on Facebook or Instagram. I did Snapchat for a while. But it seems to have waned in popularity also. The friends that used to use it no longer do.

Junk food advert ban comes into effect with soft drinks, porridge and chocolate includedThe government estimates the ad ban will prevent around 20,000 cases of childhood obesity. Figures suggest one in 10 reception-aged children is now obese. Advertising food and drinks that are high in saturated fat, salt and sugar has been restricted. Pic: iStock A new online and TV ban on the advertising of unhealthy food comes into full effect today after voluntary restrictions were introduced in October. The ban prevents ads for "less healthy" food and drinks that are high in saturated fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) appearing on television between 5.30am and 9pm, and online at any time. The ban applies to products that fall within 13 categories considered to play the most significant role in childhood obesity. These include soft drinks, chocolates and sweets, pizzas, cakes and ice creams, but also breakfast cereals and porridges, sandwiches, sweetened bread products and yoghurts. Products that belong to these categories will need to be assessed on whether they are considered "less healthy" using a scoring tool that considers their nutrient levels and whether they are high in saturated fat, salt and sugar. Ice cream falls into one of 13 categories considered to play the most significant role in childhood obesity. Pic: iStock Only products that belong to one of the 13 categories and score outside the acceptable range are included in the advertising restrictions, which will be policed by the Advertising Standards Authority. Products that are assessed as healthier in both can still be advertised, which the government hopes will lead to changes in recipes by the food industry. Adverts for plain oats and most porridge, muesli and granola will not be affected, but some less healthy versions with added sugar, chocolate or syrup could face restrictions. Rules previously stated that products high in saturated fat, salt and sugar should not be advertised through any media when more than 25% of the audience is under 16 years old. The government estimates the ad ban will prevent around 20,000 cases of childhood obesity. Latest figures suggest one in 10 reception-aged children is now obese, while one in five children has tooth decay by the age of five. It is estimated that obesity costs the NHS more than £11bn every year. The new plans were first announced by the Conservatives in 2021 but were pushed back twice. It comes after Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced that milkshakes and lattes will be hit with a sugar tax for the first time in a bid to tackle obesity.

January is World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following... 1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt. 2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs. 3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy. In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage how you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice. IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based. 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. Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize (valued at $100) at the end of the month. Some brief rules: Each reply to this topic counts as one entry. You may post multiple times. But... Back to back replies may be merged and counted as a single entry to restrict users from spamming the system. Participating ON SCREEN on our Monday Night Live's will count as 2 bonus entries. Joining the YouTube membership will also count as bonus entries, depending on tier. Participants must be residents within the USA.

Hello Jerry, how well did you finish out 2025 and are you still on board with carnivore for 2026? I have late stage kidney disease. Been carnivore myself since May 2023.

Well this could be in certain cases. The cow's body may be able to synthesize certain vitamins and minerals, but then other vitamins and minerals might have to be obtained through their diet. If the fields they are grazing on has soil lacking nutrients, then their feed lacks the nutrients, and then so does their muscle meat. The same works for us. For example, we can't synthesize vitamin C. We have to get it from our food.

That's a neat looking device. I set tile all day, lol. Right now I have a treadmill in the next room. I would prefer to hike the trails but it's the middle of winter currently. I want to get some weights, a bench, etc. as well.

We're still a minority, so it wouldn't surprise me that more anti-carnivore videos are produced compared to pro-carnivore videos. I get served Vegan "shorts" all the time over on Facebook. Then on TikTok it's people refusing to give police their ID. But YouTube gets it right most of the time.

This A.I. garbage is getting out of hand. I've seen other videos of Dr. London and Dr. Jason Fung but they are not really London or Fung. It's A.I. imposter videos trying to pass themselves off as the genuine article. It's disgusting.

Looks like ice cream. Funny that the label says "suitable for vegetarians" on it, lol

I watch everyone mentioned here so far, as well as Dr. Kiltz and some smaller health coach/carnivore influencers. I don't follow anyone zealously to the point where I consume ALL their content. But I am subscribed to them all so if they pop up in my recommendations feed and the title or topic looks interesting then I will give it a listen.

Yes. The trans fats in processed foods are artificial trans fatty acids created through an industrial process. If an ingredient list contains "partially hydrogenated _____-oil" in the ingredients, avoid consuming it. The trans fats in butter are naturally occurring trans fats, produced in the rumen (stomach) of ruminant animals like cows during digestion. They differ chemically from the artificial varieties.

My goal is to eliminate my habitual consumption of caffeinated diet sodas. My research has turned up all sorts of bad news revolving around caffeine that may have contributed, and continues to contribute to my kidney issues. I am also a very pork based carnivore, and I want to switch that to more beef and ruminant centric eating. My potassium is high because of the kidneys, and pork muscle meat is a high potassium food.

I splurged on nice glasses this last time around. We have insurance that probably cut the bill in half, but I still shelled out $500.

Keep doing what you are doing. You've come a long way already. I've heard Dr. Berry say that the last few pounds are the most stubborn, and I agree. They are for me. I dropped 60 pounds with ease. I would like to lose at least 15 more. I know what I have to do. My problem is motivation. I am actually happy with my current weight, simply because it's a night and day difference from my previous appearance, lol.

A person's diet becomes their religion, their identity. I see this happen in the carnivore space as well. It is a mental disorder. A fruitarian really imagines they are on the moral high ground. They neither kill animals NOR plants. They never "take a life" - in their mind. Some probably have some Edenic thinking around it: "Of all the fruit trees of the garden you may eat to satisfaction". And while I believe that's true, it was not to the exclusion of other food options. A vegan/vegetarian actually has a better fighting chance than a fruitarian. Their diet isn't completely base in fructose. The more varied plants will provide more varied nutrients. Beans and some others contain proteins, etc. They still have to supplement, but it's not the death sentence that being a strict raw fruitivore seems to be.

What Happened to The Women Who Ate Only FruitStory by Julie Hambleton A 27-year-old woman, Karolina Krzzak, tragically died in a Bali hotel room after adhering to an extreme "fruitarian" diet. This highly restrictive, fruit-only eating pattern led to severe malnutrition and starvation, resulting in her death. At the time of her passing she weighed a mere 22 kilograms (approximately 48.5 lbs). Her story serves as a severe warning from medical professionals about the critical dangers associated with such extreme diets that promise rapid results or detoxification but lead to catastrophic health decline. Understanding the Fruitarian Diet - A fruitarian diet is an extreme version of the raw vegan diet where one primarily only eats fruit. Image credit: Shutterstock The fruitarian diet is an extremely restrictive subset of veganism where the consumer's primary, or sometimes exclusive, source of nutrition is raw fruit. While variations exist, some strict followers aim for 75% or more of their diet to consist of fruits, with the remainder potentially coming from nuts, seeds, and sometimes vegetables. The philosophy behind this diet often includes claims of detoxification, spiritual purity, and a belief that consuming only foods that can be harvested without killing the plant (like fruits that have fallen off) is the most natural and ethical way to eat. However, due to its severe limitations, the fruitarian diet is highly controversial among nutritionists, as it severely lacks essential nutrients like protein, calcium, iron, zinc, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamin B12. This diet has a high risk of malnutrition, muscle loss, and severe health complications. The Consequences of Severe Malnutrition - Her fruitarian diet pushed her body into a starvation state. The extreme fruitarian diet deprived Karolina of essential macronutrients and micronutrients, causing her body to enter a starvation state. Medical reports indicated she was suffering from both osteoporosis, a condition marked by weakened bones, and an albumin deficiency. These are clear consequences of prolonged, poor nutrition and starvation. The doctors said that her fruit-only diet lacked vital components like proteins, fats, calcium, iron, vitamin B12, and adequate complex carbohydrates. This severe deficiency weakens the intestinal lining, disrupts electrolyte levels, and slows metabolism, ultimately causing multiple organs to fail. Doctor’s Warning: The Dangers of Restrictive Plans - Karolina's fruit-only diet caused her to essentially starve to death. Credit: @carolina.mariie Medical experts from strongly cautioned against following fruit-only or similar highly restrictive diets. They explained that while fruits offer vitamins and antioxidants, relying solely on them causes severe protein-energy malnutrition, leading to muscle loss, anemia, and life-threatening electrolyte imbalances. Furthermore, the high fructose content in excessive fruit consumption can elevate sugar, trigger insulin resistance, and increase the risk of related disease. The doctors stressed that long-term adherence to such trends can result in cognitive decline, fatigue, multi-organ dysfunction, and in severe cases like Karolina's, death. They emphasized that a healthy diet must be a balanced combination of fruits, vegetables, sufficient proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Not The First ‘Fruitarian' To Suffer A Similar Fate - Zhanna Samsonova also died in 2023 from eating a fruit-only diet. Sadly, Karolina is not the first to suffer this fate as a result from the fruitarian diet. Zhanna Samsonova, a Russian vegan raw food influencer known online as Zhanna D'Art, tragically died in July 2023 at the age of 39 in Malaysia. Reportedly, she died from "starvation and exhaustion" exacerbated by her extremely restrictive diet. For at least the last four years of her life, she had followed an exclusively raw vegan diet, subsisting mainly on fruits, sunflower seed sprouts, fruit smoothies, and juices. At its most extreme, friends reported her diet was almost entirely fruit-based, with some claims suggesting she had not consumed water for six years. Instead, she had opted for fruit and vegetable juices. Samsonova passionately promoted this raw food lifestyle on social media, believing it transformed her body and made her look younger than her peers.

The Warning Signs and Family’s Battle - Zhanna's health declined fast due to her fruitarian diet. Despite her online assertions of wellness, Samsonova's health had been visibly deteriorating. Friends noted her "increasingly emaciated" appearance and expressed profound worry. One friend described how they feared "finding her lifeless body in the morning." Her mother, Vera Samsonova, had desperately fought to save her daughter, disapproving of the extreme eating habits and trying to convince her to adopt a more balanced diet. Just months before her death, friends saw her in Sri Lanka looking exhausted with swollen legs and oozing lymph nodes. She was reportedly sent home to seek treatment, only to run away and resume her travels. Her official cause of death was attributed by her mother to a "cholera-like infection," which was believed to have been worsened by the extreme exhaustion and malnutrition caused by her strict vegan diet. Are Raw, Vegan Diets To Blame? - Raw, vegan diets are not necessarily bad, but they must be balanced. Image credit: Shutterstock The core issue that led to the deaths of both women was not a standard or balanced raw, vegan diet. Rather, it was the extreme and restrictive nature of the specific "fruitarian" and raw food regimens they followed that induced severe malnutrition and starvation. In the case of Karolina Krzyzak, doctors explicitly linked her death to starvation and the severe medical conditions directly caused by her fruit-only diet. Her death was a result of the catastrophic breakdown of her body due to the total lack of essential proteins, fats, and other critical nutrients. Therefore, the diet itself, by causing starvation, was the direct fatal mechanism. Extreme Diets Are Not The AnswerThe human body is complex and requires a wide range of macro- and micronutrients in order to function and thrive. The issue with extreme or restrictive diets such as these are that they don't provide even the minimum amount of calories that a person needs for the basic functioning of their body. Yes, fruits and vegetables are good for you – both in raw and cooked forms. Yes, the general population could eat more of these products. However, eating only fruits and vegetables does not provide you with enough protein, carbohydrates, fat, and calories to live. Eventually your body's systems will start failing. True health comes from a diet that contains a proper balance of a variety of different foods. Whole grains, root vegetables and tubers, lentils, beans, unsaturated oils, nuts and seeds, and animal sources of proteins if you so choose. It is also okay to occasionally include foods with less nutritional value, like cakes, cookies, french fries – so long as they are not regular occurance. Fruits and vegetables should be staple parts of our diet, but they cannot be the only thing we eat. If you are unsure if you are getting the right nutrition that you need, speak with a registered dietitian. They can help you build the diet that is right for you.

Based on our live discussion last night on YouTube, it sounds like those 'carnivore/keto' cheesecakes sure hit the spot, lol. I'll have to try and make one some day. I'm lazy when it comes to recipes and creativity. I'm more of a heat and eat kind of guy.

I'm not familiar with the app, but it sounds like you might have 2 separate accounts now (the old account, and the new one). I log my lab results in an Excel spreadsheet, with the name of the blood or urine marker down the left side and the date of the blood draw along the top, so I can easily see my changes over time. I do this on my laptop, but Excel or Google Sheets has apps for your phone also. Of course it may just be easier for you to just keep on with the new/current setup. After all, it's your most up-to-date results that are important, not so much the historical ones.
