3 lbs! Wow! I should fast all day and then see if I can rise to the challenge, lol :D

A difficult balance, imo. When my whites get crispy, my yolks are starting to solidify also.

Yes that can happen to every one of us. There's only so much bile on hand to help break down fat during the digestion process. If you eat more fat then you have bile at the ready, it will go right through you. As a general rule, if you struggle with constipation add more fat. If your problems are the exact opposite, back off the fat a little.

I'm not sure why they highlighted the A1C as it's still not in the pre-diabetic range. The LDL is marked high. Have you been losing weight recently while on carnivore? LDL is stored in adipose tissue and naturally goes up during weight loss. It will return to baseline, or your new baseline, after a few months of remaining weight stable. It's not a surprise that they are pushing a statin. That is entirely up to you. I think it's worth noting that Dr. Ford Brewer takes a low dose statin for it's anti-inflammatory properties. And Dr. Berry is open to the idea of prescribing a statin to someone who had already had a previous heart attack. He even says it's alright to compromise on low dose statin, like 5 mg of Resuvastatin, just to shut your doctor up, lol. Many of us have LDL lower than yours. Mine is a 300, I think most people here average around 200. What we know for sure you do not need to do is get it to 100 or less.

I'm not going to point the finger at anyone. Things were said, and the responses to each other were understandable. We're all human. They got to read them before I edited them. They just can't remain publicly visible. Neither party should be vilified nor considered to be more guilty than the other. Let's move along.

Since he is still eating the fat on the steak, he's probably more of a high protein, moderate fat diet. This sort of resembles what Dr. Baker does. Of course, we are all concerned about a high protein, zero carb, low fat diet, due to the risk of "rabbit starvation". But remember @Angel SAR isn't doing carnivore, but rather keto. I imagine ultimately his is in a "caloric deficit".

Oxalate Food Chart Another Oxalate reference chart. The oxalate content of food can vary considerably between plants of the same species, due to differences in climate, soil quality, state of ripeness, or even which part of the plant is analyzed. Variations also may be caused by the different methods used for measuring oxalate in food. Published values for some foods can vary from negligible amounts to moderately high. In addition, the soluble oxalate content of a food may influence the amount of oxalate absorbed by the intestine much more than the insoluble part, so foods that have a modest total oxalate content should still be limited because of the relatively high amount of soluble oxalate present.

Considering I am a Sam's Club shopper, this article makes me happy.

How much weight did you lose in all before plateauing? And then am I correct in reading that you were plateaued for about 2 months and then the rash happened? The rash is still a mystery, one that is unique to you. It's not the carnivore diet's fault. You would have gotten the rash long before this point in time if it was. Either it was environmental, or if it was diet-related it was something in the food you were eating OR you developed a sensitivity to something you were eating that you hadn't had previously. I think we already discussed examples like people who used to be able to eat eggs and then later develop some sort of intolerance towards them, but then egg source, egg quality, and chicken feed could all be the fine details behind the issue. And this comment is worthy of consideration. Some people do indeed fare better if their carnivore-centric diet (i.e. meat-based) leans in the direction of ketovore, keto, and even Saladino-style animal-based. Even he though, like Nick Norwitz, isn't going to be willing to chug soda and eat sour patch kids. Hopefully you see that's where most of us are drawing the line. In the end, we are advocates for whole foods and are vehemently against ultra-processed, refined foods. If you want to eat apples, honey, and maple syrup, and can still lose weight and maintain your health doing so, by all means. But we will forever speak against gummy bears, refined sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and other foods proven to be harmful.

I get it. You're still low carb but with lean meat, making yours a high protein keto diet instead of a high fat keto diet. This is sustainable. Awesome results by the way. Keep up the good work!

Lol! I actually do plan on doing some Print on Demand merch, lol.

I'm behind on my social media. I'm working on catching up :)

And you have served her well. She benefitted from your care, and you will be rewarded for your self-sacrificing spirit. May you and your family receive the love and encouragement to remain strong during this difficult time.

That would assume that FGF21 is the sole mechanism behind weight loss. I don't think this is the case nor what Nick was implying. That said, yes, Nick is going to be biased because he is pro-Keto. But for good reasons. Protein and fats are essential for human health. Carbs and sugars aren't. Plus, the excess consumption of carbs and sugars can be detrimental. Eating Carnivore or Keto resembles a natural human diet. Gorging on candy does not. Even fruit was available only for a limited time and in limited quantities in ancient times. But with that said... Modern technology does allow us to manipulate things. Without it you couldn't eat all this fruit or candy. Thanks to science and technology, people can actually be vegan and survive - with supplementation. None of this could have been done a short while ago. But this is why I say in my video that I would hope one returns to a normal, natural, sensible pattern of eating even if they decide to do the sugar diet. Or not. However, the human body can probably tolerate and repair itself from the abuse if it goes on for a little while. But if sugar fasting or sugar dieting were practiced long term, the consequences could be real. But what "long term" means for one person will be different from another. If your younger or healthier, you can probably pull this off. I mean, I was 47 when I finally adopted a proper human diet. For those first 47 years, I damaged myself pretty hard. I've healed tremendously but still have some healing to go. And it may be that some of that damage from my previous [sugar-laden] diet might never fully heal. But I understand the principle that sugar fasting could be a "tool" in one's toolbox. That would be a good goal. I have a lot of respect for Paul, although his version of an "animal-based" diet might just be a sugar diet with all of the fruity carbs he recommends on the daily. I am not anti-fruit, but I think it should be enjoyed in much lesser quantities than he advises.

Tell us a little about yourself. What is your 'Why' for trying a carnivore challenge? Is it to lose weight, reverse disease, optimize health? What is your weight and health like now? Healing takes time. Some people boast about "all this energy" they have after just a few days or a week. Sometimes this is because they are very overweight and have a lot of energy stored on their body that they are now tapping into. Others is because they see some weight come off rapidly and they get super excited and filled with motivation. They say that they suddenly have "energy" but it's their motivation and zeal that is driving them. In time, as one becomes fat adapted, they do experience better moods and "more energy" in the sense of a steady stream of energy that allows them to keep going and going. It's not energy like Mario eating a mushroom and becoming Super Mario.

This experience intrigues me. That it was concentrated on your flanks and armpits does sound more like an allergic reaction to me. I doubt it was oxalate dumping. When you added carbs back in, did you also at the same time cut out or cut down on (reduce) something else you were previously eating? For example, let pretend you were eating bacon. Pigs are monogastric animals. The factory farm where that particular pig, or lot of pigs (or may you started buying a different brand) may have had their usual feed changed. Maybe they switched suppliers. Maybe these pigs consumed something they shouldn't have. Being monogastric, contaminants get into their fleshy parts, and you had an allergic reaction to this. And then when you added back in carbs, you also eliminated or reduced the consumption of something else. Not intentionally, but just because there is a limit to how much you need to eat and were satisfied with the carbs. It can be quite complex, so I can understand why it would have been hard to pinpoint. You have to go through the trying different brands, eliminating certain animals, trying local sourced over grocery store meats, etc, all in an effort to find relief. I've seen a few children who were allergic to amoxicillin and broke out in a rash in their abdomen and armpits. Probably because digestion occurs in the abdomen, so the reaction starts there and branches out from there. This makes sense. Carbs can be utilized for energy almost immediately. This is why some people will be carnivore until it's time to hit the gym, and then they will load up on fruit or a sweet potato or something.

So I bought a can and it's in the pantry. I haven't opened it yet though, lol.

I agree here. I finally edited and released my Sugar Diet video, and in it I say something similar. Eating lots of fruit doesn't sound that bad on the surface, but dumping all sort of sugar on them..... well. I haven't made it to the other thread yet, but I did just watch Nick's video. Interesting that the same results can be had with high-fat low-protein just like with high-sugar low-protein, including its effects in FGF21. Also interesting is that some people will recommend boosting their fat to protein ratio to accelerate fat loss. This age-old advice harmonizes with what Nick reveals.

A couple weeks ago a new fad diet exploded onto the scene, forcing itself into everyone's streams and recommendations feeds. They call it the Sugar Diet, or Sugar Fasting. Being heavily promoted by influences such as Cole Robinson, Mark Bell, and FreeLee the Banana Girl - they advise consuming mass quantities of pure sugar in the form of pop and candy, almost exclusively. Just like those of us on the keto-carnivore side of the isle lose weight eating fat in the absense of carbs, yes you can lose weight eating carbs in the absense of fat. BUT, which one of these will benefit you in the long term?
