Tonight I made shaved beef steak from fresh not frozen. Shaved as in Philly Steak style. I seasoned it with garlic and onion powder and some salt, and had it with mozzerella cheese and sour cream. No wraps or anything.
The wife and I think we have that cyclospora, so even SHE did not want any vegetables tonight. Maybe the outbreak of this parasite will make her a carnivore, lol.

This was an interesting listen. The doctor completely glosses over all of Curt's progress and accomplishments and just keeps coming back to "But a carnivore diet is inflammatory".
I get the harping on numbers, especially LDL, because that's what we expect them to say. But to have him keep insisting that the diet is inflammatory when all Curt's inflammatory symptoms are gone and markers improved was quite mind-boggling.

Thanks to Bob for editing sensitive information.

It was chewy but had a nice flavor to it. I put salt, pepper, and garlic powder on them.

Gizzard cooked correctly can still be a bit chewy.

Will be continuing my 12-18 eggs through this summer.
Wanting to feel the cholesterol plug my arteries 🤣😅😂

194.8 lbs.
I've been walking an hour each day. It's really making a difference. Just focusing on getting to 190 rather than my actual target has helped me fight a lot of food temptations. There's a lot of stress going on right now but I'm not turning to food for comfort. Im very proud of that.

I have reached a new on-scale victory today.
My original goal was to go from 235 to 175 and I accomplished this from May 2023 to November 2023. After which, I intentionally stopped my weight loss due to my triglyceride scare, which I've documented here and on YouTube. Since then, I've remained in a state of maintenance, with my daily weight fluctuating between 175 and 179.
Well the last few days I have weighed in as follows...
Sunday, July 12th = 174.9 lbs
Monday, July 13th = 174.1 lbs
Tuesday July 14th = 173.7 lbs
and today = 172.1 lbs.
I haven't really done anything special either. But now I have it in my mind and heart to get into the 165-169 range because it's so within reach :)

And how was it? I've never had a chicken gizzard.

This morning I had a 3 egg omelet cooked in tallow with sausage, pepper jack cheese, and sour cream

Nice, that does sound good. How long do you cook yours for? In the video she mentions 2 hours but not sure how she is cooking the meat. I have been doing low for 10.5 hours in instant pot but today I have it at normal for 2 hours just to see how it turns out. Not sure what the sweet spot is for fall apart tenderness.

Thanks for posting those.
It’s funny that you posted this as I’m eating some slow cooked chuck roast as I’m typing this. Lol. It’s delicious especially with the rendered fat poured over it as a sauce

On last nights Carnivore Talk show I had mentioned that I had heard on a Homestead How video that soft meats or slow cooked meats along with the renderings may help with gut issues including constipation. I found the videos today. The woman that talks about it is Malia Bond. I have been eating primarily slow cooked chuck roasts and consuming the renderings for last 4 months and I have seen some improvement. I do sometimes get looser stools and sometimes firmer but I have had not had severe constipation in last couple months. In the 1st video she mentions it can a year or two or more to heal the gut using soups, soft meats, and broth. In that video she also mentions the meat should not touch the pan so I may try to add some sort of liquid in the slow cooker going forward. I wanted to post the reference material for that. Below are the youtube links. I recommend watching all her videos to determine if you might want to try it.
Homestead How - Advanced Carnivore Diet Tips & WHAT TO EAT…(pt 2) - link skips to part about Soft meats, soups, and broths but i recommend to watch full video.

195.1lbs! Ill take that! Im staying focused!

My weight fluctuated up but is sitting at 196.0 today. Im staying focused. Im back in ketosis now and my appetite is much easier to deal with now that my meds have lowered.
I can even cook elaborate meals for my husband and roommate and stick to my carnivore eating. Its actually a peacefull happy feeling cooking a meal for others exclusively because your own desire for food is not distracting the cooking process.

I will have to disagree but I'm OK with you keeping your membership card.
Maybe a probationary period for the flaw but no reason we can't still be friends. LOL
But we stumbled onto a guy right down the road who makes the best homemade sausage I have ever eaten. Just down the road and we never knew. Last year we probably bought 40lbs over three times he made it.
I can eat it every day.

Moo_ing is great 👍 if it's not mooving I will process it myself 😂🤣😍

That's a good starter and congrats for the doing the 40 hours.
I am now reading on how many extended fasts I can do before I reach the 'diminishing returns' plateau.
As of late I have been fasting when working nights. I do two nightshift rotations per month which is one 72-hour fast and one that is around 96 hours.
I feel pretty good doing two and sort of been just 'rolling with two'.

Eggs Eggs and more eggs for me

I spent Thursday night through Sunday morning with friends (2 other families) at a cabin we rented at Hocking Hills, Ohio.
Thursday was chicken legs, chicken thighs, brats, and italian sausages.
Friday was steak and Shrimp.
Saturday was smash burgers.
I did have some small portions of fruit that my wife brought (which is something I don't mind eating from time to time, usually on special occasions like this).

It's good to have "mini-goals" even though you do have a long-term overarching goal. Set smaller goals that are more reasonably within reach. Accomplishing them will make you feel good, and will be a stepping-stone towards your long-term goal.
I did the same thing when I wanted to go from 232 to 175. Every 10 pounds was a mile marker. These days, my weight swings from 175 to 178 on any given day depending on how much I eat, drink, and move.

Happy Father's Day. Hope all is well with you and yours.
This was a Father's Day gift for my son and I.
Turned out really nice.
