Oof! Indeed it was. The reddit may be called /noStupidQuestions, but oh my goodness look at all the stupid answers, lol
I've been banned from one of the Carnivore subreddits for saying my trigs went up on Carnivore. The purists refused to believe I was truly a carnivore (because most people's trigs go down) and so they banned me claiming I was a troll and not really someone on a carnivore diet.
I sometimes try to discreetly help someone in the Weight Loss Advice subreddits, but as soon as it becomes clear that I am advocating keto or carnivore I get downvoted something terrible.

I get these 1 pound packages of grass fed ground beef and do this very thing. Smash it down to fit the skillet I am using. Add salt, heat, and enjoy!

It's a good one for the family. They can use their choice of wrap or shell and add lettuce and tomato if they wish. You can keep it all animal products, besides the seasonings (which is what makes it mexican).

Just posted a new video on making soft tacos that work for carnivore or ketovore. I’m using Egg Life Wraps as the shell — no flour, no seed oils, and they hold up surprisingly well with a good meat filling.
If you’ve been missing taco night, this is a simple way to bring it back.
Have any of you tried Egg Life wraps yet? Curious what fillings you’re using.
CARNIVORE FRIENDLIEST VERSION
Egg Life Wraps (warmed up) for shells.
McCormick Taco Seasoning (or the cleanest you can find).
Sour Cream
Cheese

KETO OR KETOVORE VERSION:
Lettuce
Tomato, Pico, or Salsa (cleanest you can find).
Avocado or Guacamole

Part of the problem that I think has led doctors to become what they are, to think how they think, is people in general. We're actually in the minority, being the people who were willing to give up what we loved for the sake of better health. Most people aren't like that.
I was talking with a friend about a month ago, and he is pre-diabetic, has blood sugar issues, takes meds for various reasons, etc. He was telling me how his doctor said he should cut out this and that from his diet, and his response was he would rather die. Food was one of the last remaining pleasures he had left.
Food is god to some people. Even my parents will try a new restaurant and then tell me about their meal and how it was mmmm mmmm mmmm good, almost as if they had some out-of-body experience, lol.

I think it was "Butter Bob" (another Bob) who coined the phrase "Butter will make your pants fall off" lol

Interesting. I've made salami/pepperoni chips in the microwave before, so I guess bacon would work too, lol

I've been in a few bands in my youth and both back then and throughout my adulthood I have written songs and have tried to record them myself, playing all the instruments, etc. I was just thinking I could probably use some of these Music AI services to finally finish them, lol.

I’m afraid not but you could do a google search for keto/carnivore doctors in your area but there aren’t many.
What I did when I found a new doctor was to look for a DO rather than an MD.
A DO generally try’s to treat the root cause of an issue whereas an MD treats the symptoms. On top of that a DO has more education and training than an MD.

We are here to help Joel.
You’ve already seen the positive results from being a carnivore so you just need to go back to the lifestyle. You’ve proven what works for you.

A cardiologist recommended among other things that I employ carnivore diet in July, 2025 so I did. 6 months later my weight had dropped nearly 30 lbs, and blood chemistry was all within normal ranges. Cardiologist then said I could stop taking statin, and I did.
Since then I have slid back into SAD. I gained 10 lbs and recent blood panel shows poor numbers. Current doctor and new cardiologist (prior one moved far away) want me to take pills and some injection. My positive carnivore experience last year leads me to think otherwise, and I am one week back eating carnivore. I have quite a few questions and hope to find answers and support here.

Microwaved bacon because I was lazy.

I have to get better at getting the pics.
Tonight was some beef short ribs. My son hit the spice rack a bit much for me but they were really good. I'm mostly a salt guy, and a lot of times it is just the meat.

@Bob I found that to be the case for me as well. When I was trying to hit the protein target I let the fat content drop some. The combination of eating more and the fat caused me to gain weight. After I stopped hitting the target my protein to fat ratio was still off and even eating less the weight stayed the same or picked up a pound here and there.
Whoulda' thunk butter is a weight loss food? LOL

I have been using Suno AI for making songs. I find that the Suno AI that helps write lyrics to be less than stellar, so I do not use that option. However, the actual music made by Suno sounds quite good.
I have used ChatGPT to help me write lyrics. To have it work correctly, I have to supply a very detailed prompt and then revise the lyrics it generates. In the end, I get a song I like that I consider I wrote since the idea and much of the lyrics are mine.
BTW - I have taken the exact same prompt and fed it to Suno, Gemini and GPT. I find that GPT gives me the best results for what I am looking for when it comes to 'starting' lyrics, so that is the AI I use.

I thought I would test this for a while. It's graphically pleasing, seeing a cover image for each forum along with the latest activity in those forums.
The other thought I have entertained is simply displaying ALL topics on a single page as the default, regardless of it's specific forum or category.

When AI first came out I thought it was just an overhyped search engine.
But now I am in love with AI. I use it for research. To come up with illustrations. To see what's trending, etc. I use it to write scripts, and pasted it into AI to be graded. It spit out a handful of suggestions, a few that I thought were worth incorporating.

This morning was eggs and homemade sausage.
The sausage is a bummer because it is almost out from last winter. I have maybe 6 or 7 1lb packs left until the weather breaks in the fall. Since it has been in the upper 90's with a heat index well over 100, it will probably be store bought sausage sometime soon.

Last night I had fresh catfish dusted with pork panko and cajun seasoning and fried in bacon grease.

A simple beef patty.
Sometimes you just fancy a patty.
Could've waited until it got seared a bit more though but I'm a lazy fella.

My attempt at a medium rare rump steak.
Cooked in plenty of butter of course.

Looks pretty good on mobile too.

Fine…I try to learn a new format. You’re killin me Smalls.

Just kidding, it’s fine.

I'll have to watch it.
Strange usually YouTube videos embed properly.
Ok yeah you have to press enter after you've inserted the link and the embed will show properly.

I hate I missed it. I ran like a chicken with its head cut off last night to free up some time to drop in on my phone from work. But, to no avail as it was one thing after another most of the night.
I will try to watch it sometime today. It would have been better to listen, interact and ask questions.
Hope all is well with everyone.
