Yep, Denali's 20,310 ft, so we'll take that one 😄

Fair, you got us there. Dufourspitze beats Whitney by about 700 ft. I concede.

lol, no contest. Measured from the ocean floor, Mauna Kea is taller than Everest.
Not that I'm climbing either one.

On Reddit and in here we get a lot of newbies. They are just starting out, still learning. So we have to be patient and kindly give them the guidance they need.

You're right about rabbit starvation, and the risks of heating too low fat and too high protein. The fat is our fuel.

Wow, what a view! That scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.

I looked up the height of the Niesen, which is 7749 ft. That's taller than anything we have here in the Appalachian mountain range in the Eastern U.S. (the west has the Rockies, and they get super tall over there). Climbing all the way to the top of the Niesen is no joke.
And yet you did it without carbs, lol 😝

Hey Jeremy. lol, you had me going for a second with the 9th language!

Ah, got it 👍


Your English comes across pretty good, even though I could tell it's not your first language. And I like the idea of trying to read articles without translating them as way to learn it.

Few weeks ago, I climbed to the top of the Niesen, the view was made from there...

I think @jr1776 was being funny, because in his post entitled "My Journey [LONG POST]" in the Introductions forum he went from keto, then ditched the veggies, and went full carnivore.

I'm also guessing English isn't his other tongue.

I personally noticed my sweat smell worse when I'm eating chicken or pork (for the pork it depends of the meat cut)

I don't use the deodorant either. I didn't think about it.
Prior to carnivore I could get hot and sweaty and smell like a goat in no time. Since, even the harder days in the gym or working here around the house I don't seem to 'give off an aroma'.
It is sort of weird.

Interesting subject.
I guess a couple of things that I do might be uncommon in the community are not near as uncommon as yours but I’ll play.
First off, I raise or hunt as much as 95% of the food I eat. We raise goats, cattle, sheep and chickens. I hunt deer, pigs, birds and fish a lot. We have a small far and are very self sufficient. I also eat many organ meats from those animals that most in the community don’t eat
Another thing is i rarely use deodorant and when i do it’s a very clean and natural product. I have found that since becoming a carnivore I just don’t have BO like I used too as long as I take a shower every day. I use natural soaps whenever I can and avoid those that have a bunch of chemicals in them. I’ve recently met a woman in my area who makes soap and I’m going to ask her to teach me how.
I enjoy a pioneering lifestyle where I make much of what we take for granted. I make my own yogurt, bacon, ham and tallow. I’m always looking for ways to go back to the old style of doing things.

I am not sure I have any except maybe the OMAD just sort of happened and I had to purposely eat more to off set some weight loss/strength loss. I didn't see that coming at all.
I use whatever toothpastes my wife buys and seldom get the same one two purchases in a row. Not a lot of hair to work with so care products are limited, not much more than a bar of Dial soap.
I missed last week's roundtable. I am a lifelong shift worker so my sleep patterns are not exactly ideal. Working days or nights I sleep from about 9 to 3. Prior to carnivore I could go back to sleep and get another hour to two hours and then start my day. Still an early start at 5/6 but since carnivore that has changed.
I didn't get the mental clarity or cognizant effect people talk about with carnivore. What I got was when I wake up I'm up, and there is no going back to sleep. My days now start as 3:30 AM or PM depending on when I lay down for that day. it does not sound like a a good habit but I take advantage by going to the gym really early, my day starts sooner and I get a lot more done.
Coupling that with the steady supply of energy I now get some things done vs. putting stuff off til another day.
Good topic. I hadn't thought much about it.
Scott

Agreed.
My carnivore and fasting have become a 'running joke' (in a good way) at work. "Are you going to eat this week?" or "want a slice of my pizza?". So now when I cruise thru the break room, or the engineering offices and people are eating all kinds of stuff I say, "You should look up insulin resistance."
As I watch others eat, 'one small serving' would probably be a huge improvement for most.
Scott

You know it is a good time when he crawls up to get out of the side by side and the first words are, "Did anyone get a video of that?". LOL
I don't know how to make the memes and stuff but this one would be my buddy in the pic to a "T". When Drew says if we take this trail, we are 30 minutes from the house and it translates to the next two hours will be the best four-hour ride of the weekend.
Scott

old pic of me when I started carnivore in 2021~
before I knew most sausages are full of garbage lol.

People sometimes ask me "not much carbs,what do you eat then?"
I always answer it's not about what I eat, it's about what I do NOT eat. It's an elimination diet.
No sugars,flours,potatoes,fruits. Simple.
I'm not zero carb,there are some beans and cream in coffee in the pic. I also need a little evening carbs to sleep full nights.

So until now I had only show the meat i cooked.. I finally took a picture of what is a typical complete meal for me. Thats my second meal of the day, I eat 2 times a day, breakfast and the second one around 4pm. Here I have 400gr of pork neck, 2 eggs and 80gr of butter.

These days its about Sardines. I often buy the frozen raw 1kg bag avalaible at a nearby supermarket. They are complete with head, tail and organs which intentisifies the smell while cooking, my mother visited me this morning just after I cooked them, I tought she was going to pass away 🤣 she still have traumastim about the fridge at the time i was living with hem

Dont worry that's just a rabbit... 😅

Talking of rabbit, do you already heard of rabbit starvation?
It make me want to do a little advise... but first: Im new on these forums and I want to specify that all my post on this thread are only meat I have cooked but definitely not my complete meal, I eat astonishing quantity of butter (always cold, i love to spread it on my meat or even eat it alone) i also eat lots of eggs and cheese. So get back to the advise I wanted to share... I was for long on the reddit carnivore community, i dont know yet if people have more knowledge here.. so lot of people there sharing their meal and are just eating f*cking lean, this is really dangerous, we cannot live on proteins, and actually you can even be poisoned of it if you only get it, the famous rabbit starvation I named before... even if you are a pot of lard who could live on his fat for weeks or months, you cannot do this! If you want to fast you can but at the time you eat you need a good ration between prots and fat, otherwise you will be confronted to lot of issues soon. So enjoy your life eat a lot of fat meat, and eat every meat you want, you need to enjoy this diet so if you want lean meat eat it buy be sure to add lot of fat (butter, tallow, lard) and smile, that's why we choosed this diet to get back our smile and kick out the depressive state that carbs brought into us at each meals! 😁

6 bomboclat eggs fried in butter and 4 slices of bacon.
Classic.

A few salmon fillet today! For once I might not exceed the 100gr of butter 😅 salmon is already quite nourishing 👍

Just one small serving of ultra-processed food a day linked to higher disease risk, major study finds
Story by Deirdre Bardolf

Just an extra 3.5 ounces of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) a day was linked to a higher risk of chronic disease, according to a new large-scale analysis.
The study, published Sept. 22 in the journal Family Medicine and Community Health, looked at nearly 8.8 million adults who participated in studies across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania, with follow-up periods ranging from two to 32 years.
For every additional 100 grams of UPFs consumed daily, researchers found an association with a 14% higher risk of cardiovascular events, a 4% higher risk of cancer, a 3% higher risk of death from any cause and a 2% higher risk of metabolic syndrome or diabetes, according to a news release.
UPFs are typically packaged and convenient, made through extensive industrial processing and often packed with additives. They can include sugary drinks, processed meats, packaged snacks and candy. One hundred grams is about the size of a 3.5-ounce bag of corn chips, a small box of candy or a single-serve cup of mini cookies.

People with the highest intake of UPFs also had higher risks of digestive diseases, depression or anxiety, obesity, cancer and cardiovascular events than those with the lowest intake of the foods.

"Given that UPF-related chronic diseases often cluster as multimorbidity, reducing consumption of UPFs and replacing them with minimally processed alternatives may be relevant for chronic disease prevention and primary care management," the researchers, led by Xiao Liu, a cardiologist at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital in China and a research fellow at Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, wrote.
These types of foods tend to crowd out healthier, nutrient-dense options, according to Kelly Springer, a New York-based registered dietitian and founder of Kelly's Choice.
"It's not that you can never eat them again," Springer, who was not involved in the research, told Fox News Digital. "It's the fact that we are not getting real foods — real foods like fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, whole grains."

Rather than focusing on taking foods away, Springer recommended adding protein and fiber to meals and snacks. She suggested options such as an apple with peanut butter, nuts with cucumbers, or meals built around beans, chicken or tuna alongside fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
"A diet built around whole, minimally processed foods is one of the best investments we can make in our long-term health," she added.
Springer noted that the study was observational, so it cannot establish that UPFs directly caused the poor health outcomes. 
It also relied on participants' self-reported diets and may not be able to account for other lifestyle factors.
Nonetheless, the study can teach people about the link between ultra-processed foods and chronic disease, Springer said.

True that. I agree that it doesn't, and also that it's impossible to test.
Problem #1 is food frequency questionaries are not reliable by any means.
Problem #2 is these meat eating survey participants probably bring along a host of confounders, like eating processed grains, sugars, smoking, being a couch potato, etc.
And then it's worth noting that there IS a difference between processed meat and fresh meat. But how much difference and how important is the difference? According to Dr. Ken Berry, meat is meat, and the sodium nitrate in processed meat is nothing to fear so go ahead and enjoy your bacon. He even says you could do a carnivore diet effectively on just hot dogs and bologna if that is all you could afford.

I can't think of anything I am doing that is out of the ordinary and considered a good habit, and least not beyond the basics. I've kicked my last vice, which was soda. I might still have one every once in a while, but I have finally acquired the taste for just plain water (as well as fizzy water). I had spent most of my life drinking diet sodas.
I don't have hair so I only use bar soap, which I get from Sam's Club in bulk. They did start carrying Dr. Squatch and I did try it and it was okay. It's supposed to be better for you - all natural and all that.
I am more regular at brushing my teeth - at least once daily now. I really don't care what toothpaste it is either. I've switched from plastic flippers, ladels, and tongs to wooden ones, and prefer real silverware over plasticware when it comes to cutlery.
I think the phone/screen time goals are rather admirable. But I run a business (construction in real life, YouTube online) so that would never work for me.

I sleep on waterbed from the 70's. I'm in love with it. It fixed my back pain when I got it 20 years ago. I will die before giving it up, lol :)

I have not. But I just looked it up and from what I read it is rich in collagen and popular in southern Europe.

Aside of the common things that most of us probably do here, eating a carnivore diet, have a good sleep and make some physical activity, what's are your uncommon good habits to have a better life?
Personally I don't use any cutlery to eat, just my hands, i feel much more connected to the food I eat.
I also don't have bed, I sleep on the ground, I just have some exercise mat of about 0.5 Inch ~ to not be directly on the rough and cold tiles...
Finally I can mention that I don't use anymore of these shower garbage products which are full of poison... the only care product I still use toothpast but I know it's a mess too and I'm planning to make a transition to clay paste or something but I'm still exploring to find the good solution...
One habits I really want to get in at long term, which should be normal but our world make us all crazy with it... is to reduce the time spent on my phone per days to a maximum of 1hour and in only 1 session per day. I have the chance to have a life without any obligations, so I don't need to be connected or avalaible at any time which is unfortunately the pain of a lot of people nowadays... my idea is to have a phone time schedule between 7pm to 8pm everyday when my day is already completely accomplished.
And you whats your uncommon good habits?

Well... I'm eating between 100 to 150 gr of butter a day and I'm in olympic form.
