    Hello there! Always nice to put a face to the username
  2. Bob
    Awesome! Welcome aboard! I look forward to hearing about your results. I would think you should see improvements in both. Inflammation should go down. And for me and many others, our brain fog lifted and we can continue to think pretty clearly unless we deviate from the diet. Welcome to the new normal. Seriously, don't get to concerned about this. On carnivore, you will poop less. Almost every part of the animal products you consume are digested and used by the body. The vitamins, minerals, fat, and the protein. There is very little waste. I go on average of 2 or 3 times a week now. During the transition phase, it's definitely alarming because you are probably used to going at least once, maybe even more, each day. For my first 3-4 weeks, my bowels were unpredictable. It would either be solid gravel, or liquid explosion. But I even went 9 full days without having to go. I would even have these phantom urges to go sit down and then nothing would happen. This is common, especially if you didn't slowly wean yourself into the diet but switched rather abruptly. Everything will still work, and things will return to your "new normal" before long.

    By posting in this topic. That post counts as an entry. Each subsequent reply in this particular topic will also count as an entry. Joining on on Monday night's video call will also count as an entry But the overall goal here is to make friends, lose weight, and/or feel great. In that respect we can all be a winner

    I'm going to have to do some deeper research before buying one then, because my stovetop is electric.

    This is just a silly video I put together when I was at the Canfield fair in Canfield, Ohio. I had been on the carnivore diet for the last 6 months and was admittedly thinking about the animals in a new light now, lol.

    Yes. Chicken is still nutritious and those burger patties/ground beef is still red ruminant meat. There really is no "calculation". Obese individuals are admonished to eat until they are comfortably full, with no snacking. Oftentimes it is easier for them to eat one meal a day, because they are (1) less active while overweight, and (2) using their own fat stores for fuel. Their big bellies are like reservoirs of tallow that they can tap into at any time. But the closer you get to an ideal weight or the more active you are, the more frequent hunger you may feel. Once you start "calculating" then your entering into CICO territory. Whenever you want to go down this route. While it's true that calories don't matter, it still provides a useful metric for how much you are eating, just like measuring and weighing your food would. A prolonged calorie deficit will eventually slow your metabolism. The body is smart, and will adapt. That is entirely up to you. A clean keto diet that is mostly meat with some low carb veggies on the side is still a proper human diet. The calculations would be the same. Keep the carbs as low as possible. Eat only when you are actually hungry. Don't snack.

    My first time cooking in my cast iron pan I burnt everthing. It holds way more head than my teflon pans. I have to cook steak on 9+ or HIGH in my teflon pans, but can dial it back to only a 4 or 5 in my cast iron pan.

    So here's my daily progress so far.... Jan 1 - 174.1 lbs Jan 2 - 174.4 lbs Jan 3 - 173.2 lbs Jan 4 - 172.6 lbs Typical eggs and breakfast meats for meal #1 each day. On January 1, I tried Beef Bacon for the first time. It was good, but not as good as traditional pork bacon. I had a chicken and cream cheese dish on January 1, and overate plus it was late, thus the bump up in weight the next day. January 2 was filet mignon plus some pork rinds and chip dip that needed finished. January 3 was just seasoned ground beef. Plus I have these awesome beef jerky's from Duma's Meats that I occasionally nibble on.

    Sounds delicious! I haven't had a fatboy dough pizza since I switched from keto to carnivore. I used to make mine with shredded cheese, egg, and almond flour.

    This was interesting. I have a cast iron pan, and I'm thinking about getting a stainless steel set.

    Welcome aboard @Joanna! You're absolutely right. I was like that in my first year, even with something as benign as a blueberry. I don't get the addictive/craving reaction anymore, but at the same time I refuse to eat grains and refined sugar (processed sweets of any kind). I'm still afraid that some candy or some pizza would do me in, lol

    Join us in our January Carnivore Challenge in recognition of World Carnivore Month. Participate in the designated January topic by giving support and encouragement to your fellow carnivores! Each reply will be counted as an entry to win a prize at the end of the month.
  14. Bob
    Lol! You gotta tie the knot by the end of the month I'm still trying to work something out prize-wise, but I haven't gotten any email responses today. Probably because it's New Year's Day, so hopefully tomorrow. Each post/reply in THIS TOPIC (the one you are currently viewing entitled "World Carnivore Month - January Challenge" will be an entry into the drawing. Back to back posts in this topic will be merged into one to avoid spamming/manipulation of the system.

    Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of 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 hoe 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 at the end of the month.

    I haven't supplemented with iodine yet, but I've been meaning to. Word is that if you live by the ocean and eat a lot of seafood, you probably get all that you need. But most people are deficient, to the extent that mainstream salt here is "iodized". J. Crow's Lugol's Iodine Solution is a popular supplement among carnivores. Dr. Berry often recommends it.

    My wife made a dish in the crock pot that had chicken broth, melted cream cheese, shredded chicken, and more. It was a bit thick, almost like a dip or spread. We put it in a bowl with some shredded cheese and I ate it with pork rinds. It was pretty delicious and still carnivore, save for whatever seasonings she used.

    Fun fact: European mistletoe is highly toxic/poisonous. American mistletoe on the other hand has been known to cause digestive upset but has not caused any reported deaths. Plant toxins is an interesting subject having dipped my fork into the world of carnivore-centric nutrition. While most of us would never dream of eating any mistletoe at all, children and pets have a tendency to put it there mouths, so be careful. Keep it high up, out of reach - high enough to stand under it and get yourself a nice kissy, lol

    Let's get the thread back on track, lol. Hey Tom @Logan9fingers - How is the carnivore diet going for you? I don't think I've ever come across "fillers" in my groudn beef/minced meat here. Even our fast good burgers are usually 100% beef. We do find fillers in processed meats, like beef sticks and jerky, so you have to read labels to get the cleanest possible.
  21. Bob
    I think he meant undereating. And eating until you are comfortably stuffed will certainly help you mount a strong defense against cravings. I personally couldn't survive on a ribeye a day (12oz-16oz precooked weight). If I were to do OMAD, I would have to feast, lol.

    So I have ate off plan on Saturday... because it was the wife and I's 24th wedding anniversary. We went to a fancy-shmancy restaurant called the Rosewood Grill and spent way too much money on dinner, which is the appropriate thing to do on an anniversary so no big deal, lol. She had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes, and I had the shrimp and scallops over a bed of risotto (creamy rice) and I got butternut squash on the side. Since we made our reservation through Open Table, they knew it was our anniversary and "suprised" us with a dessert, which was a slice of brownie with a scoop of ice cream on top drizzled in fudge and caramel, with a lit candle in it, lol. I did eat the ice cream, but I took one bite of the brownie and immediately determined I wasn't going to go there. It was so freakin' rich that even the one bite made me feel nauseous. I was never a chocolate guy, even before. Our anniversary is usually the only time of year I go to dinner knowing I am not eating a proper human diet, lol.

    Interesting. I don't have a good weight-lifting program at the moment, so I am going on what I have heard others say. There's an initial drop in strength (can't lift as much or do as many reps before fatiguing) but after a few weeks the strength and energy return. Such anecdotes align well with what we know about that initial adaptation period when you switch from carb-laden SAD diet to a ketogenic or carnivore-centric diet. I'm listening to a book right now ("The Unholy Trinity") that even talks about benefits of working out in a fasted state, towards the end of your intermittent fasting period, and THEN eating, for optimal results. Probably because you'll be in ketosis and running on your steady stream of ketones derives from your own body fat. The only thing I can think of, is to load up on fat before a workout. Not too stuffed to lose the motivation to exercise (food coma, lol!), perhaps an hour or so prior to give your body time to break down that energy. But then I've heard others report similarly to you and chose to go more "animal-based", at least on workout days.

    I went to the local butcher the other night and got me some grass fed NY Strips. I was hoping to get some liver but they were actually sold out. But I did get something unique - Deer bratwursts that have a touch of jalapeno and cherries in them. So they have a couple carbs per link as a result but the combination sounded very intriguing. I will be trying them tomorrow.
