Thanks keto monster and Scott F.

One down a couple three to go.
Welcome and good luck as you progress.
Scott

good luck Pops, keep learning and develop a walking habit if you haven't already.

My name is Jerry. Carnivore cured my diabetes after 2 months. Now to fix heart, kidneys and prostate. Carnivore for life.

Wow, that is very impressive. Congratulations.

Congrats.

My son, Justin, now 40, became an amputee at age 12. This year he lost like 80 pounds and logged 1,000 miles in training to run. On Saturday in Philadelphia he ran a 1/2 Marathon. An impressive ~ 2 hour finish tome. He exceeded everyone's expectations. He works making prosthetic legs and a foot manufacturer sponsors his running. He told me the Philadelphia crowd was soooo super supportive! Hopefully you can see him in photo below.

I got a text from my daughter, my 11 year old grandson qualified to compete in the World Irish Dance competition in Chicago in 2026 ! He just finished a 3 day competition in Philadelphia

With that the trick would be to maintain the tension and not lock out on the joints.
Like most machines, it is all about the effort the person puts forth. A treadmill is an awesome piece of equipment right up to the point it becomes a better place to hang some clothes. LOL
I have never used an X3 but I do use the bands to warm up some, and then onto the machines and the dumbbells.
As of late I am into squatting with dumbbells and going into a shoulder press as I stand up. I do 10-12. (similar to a kettle ball routine) Then I grab two forty-five pound plates and do a farmer's walk around the gym. I drop them and do 25-30 knees raises hanging from a bar. I try to do these four or five times per trip to the gym, usually between moving from exercise to the other while lifting.
I try to hit arms one day, legs the next and chest after that and shoulders/back if I make the fourth day that week.
I was walking 3.5 miles just about every day but the weather and the new grandkid has eaten up some of my walking time.

Not much really. Some dumbbell workouts 2 or 3 times a week with a few body exercises and a long walk occasionally. I used to walk every other day but I’m just too busy these days building up my farm. That’s the main part of my exercise these days, just working on the farm all day. This cold weather has given me a little bit of a break lately.

Often i listening to you tube in the background as I am doing things an ad comes on, oh It is ken berry, or ben bik man, or Dr. Phil, or other popular influencer. I look, it is not them, same voice, similar likeness. Must be Ai generated. I Do not like it !

I'm having a deer burger steak with four eggs. Had leftover chicken for lunch.

Speaking of deer…

Aldi 8oz ribeye steak:

I ate some Aldi clotted cream:
It was absolutely delicious.

Smoked T-bone steak, eggs, cheese and a few slices of jalapeno tacos with egglife wraps.

Good to hear !

Yep,especially after finding out about benefits in your own health... I for one don't want to get back to carb-o-land.
20+ years ago I was just curious. And I enjoyed the ketosis feel. Now it's about health too. Stent and heart failure and afib to name a few.
I rarely need spray nitro any more. My gout is gone, I'm off allopurinol for half a year and eat anchovies, chicken wings, mushrooms,nothing triggers gout any more.
I've been off statins for a year. Lost 28 kilos, normal bmi now. I can squat and get up again... just so much healthier all in all.
Christmas hi carb diet week experiment did not matter. I'm back on track.

Very well said. Agreed.
I was one of those guys. I jumped on the carnivore diet as nothing more than a weight loss hack. I then stumbled across some amazing health benefits that I never seen coming after the switch. So much so, I was still hard to convince til some time afterwards.
I think everyone starts out in the 'diet mode' and then after time it becomes a lifestyle change. I also think life style changes are sustainable, but diets? Not so much.
Scott

Here is one more:
Many think of "diets" as some kind of magic temporary quick fixes, often for weight loss.
They have read "I lost 100 pounds in three weeks!" -interviews and get frustrated quickly because that did not happen.
Patience is a rare virtue in Today's World.

Quit? Who? Not me said Paul, Bob, tom ,dick, Harry tim, jum. Da l e, Roger, Mark, Peter, Tony, Steve, Preston. Robert Joe, Bill. Guy, dominick, Lewis, Matt, bret. Dave, z sorry finhrr is tired noe

How many of those who claim they quit carnivore list all the other diets they also quit? When it is approached like a "fad diet", that is how long it will last for many - just like any other fad they tried ... be that diet, clothing, jewelry, etc.
The same could be claimed by those who tried vegetarian, vegan, high carb, low carb and/or any other diet they tried and then quit. Many only mention the latest one they tried when they post about quitting.

I think carnivore (going in) is just like any other diet, there is nothing really sustainable about it. (and allow me to finish)
I think everyone who switches to carnivore starts off on a carnivore diet and like most all diets, people choose another route. it is the diets that are not sustainable.
It takes time for carnivore to become a lifestyle and leave the 'temporary-ness' of just about all diets.
For me personally I have been strict carnivore for about 19 months. I have not had a fruit nor vegetable nor bread nor pasta since May '24. With that said it was nearly a year later when I felt like being on the carnivore diet had morphed into me having a carnivore lifestyle/carnivore way of eating. And maybe my story is a little odd because I didn't start with any health concerns in mind as for me it was nothing more than a weight loss hack. I stumbled upon a ton of benefits early on, chalked them up to coincidence, and then once I was reading the writing on the wall I started to evolve from diet to lifestyle.
People quit for all kinds of reasons. If I had not stumbled upon the benefits with my autoimmune disease, knowing it was going to be a weight loss hack, I probably would have quit after losing 40-50 pounds (and called it a successful endeavor). If I knew which carb/vegetable/fruit was my trigger I would probably venture back out into the carb world on occasion. But since I don't know it is not a gamble I feel comfortable with so that too helped me transition from carnivore diet to carnivore lifestyle.
I think it could be any number of reasons, but I mostly think those reasons land on the individual person rather than the way of eating itself.
Scott

Because most of them change their diet overnight to one that is Carnivore.
Therefore the microbiome has no time to adapt and then they suffer consequences.
They then make videos on why I quid carnivore...
