Continue doing what works for you :) You can do it! I consider myself a carnivore - although I will occasionally dip a toe into keto or paleo/animal-based on rare occasions, depending on the circumstances (usually where I am or who I am with). Kinda like the person who doesn't drink but is a social drinker. I don't eat plants but I'm a social keto guy, lol.

Welcome aboard @Oyodi and it sounds like you are doing awesome. Keep it up! My doctors like to nag me about LDL. I am not a LMHR though, as I am not "lean" yet, lol. My lipids are a but wonky due to my kidney disease. I'm firm on the no statins and they know it, so they are trying to convince me to go down the Repatha route. However, odds are the insurance will kick it back to the doctor and say to put me on a statin first, lol.

I need to get up off my rear end and buy me that dehydrator I keep saying that I am going to do, lol.

Tired of feeling sluggish, hungry, or stalled on carnivore? The biggest mistake most people make is not eating enough fat. In this episode, I break down exactly why "lean" carnivore diets backfire — and how prioritizing fatty cuts of meat transformed my energy, satiety, and long-term results after 3+ years on the diet.

It depends on what your goals are at the moment. I'm 5'8" and approximately 80kg if the online conversion calculator is correct. If you are trying to lose weight, the general rule is not to eat unless you're hungry. It's certainly won't hurt you to fast for two or three days. I wouldn't go much beyond that. Your body does have protein and nutritional needs, so eventually you will want to have a meal. Some people practice fasting regularly, often choosing to do a 2 to 5 day fast once a month, or once a quarter, etc.

The context of the image isn't exactly true, so I understand why it would get flagged as misinformation. While RFK Jr. has made comments regarding his skepticism of lab grown meat and is pushing for strict regulatory scrutiny from agencies like the FDA (in other words, take this seriously and don't just slap a "generally recognized as safe" label on it and sweep it under the rug), there has been no talk of a nationwide ban. There have been bans on the state level in certain states, and he has cheered on these states who have taken this seriously.

It does. Urea nitrogen is one of the waste products from the breakdown of protein. Increase protein, increase BUN. And then when you're kidneys don't clear it as they ought, it gets really high. Mine averages 99-100, and has been as high as 130 at one point during the fenofibrate debacle.

Welcome aboard. I cannot relate to the asthma. But I understand totally the freedom from food addiction - or more appropriately carb addiction. I was frequently hungry, and always had my hand in a bag of something or other, lol. I've gone from snacking throughout the day to only eating when I am truly hungry, typically 2 hefty meals a day, sometimes three smaller ones. I was a slave before. Not anymore.

What is the medication? I was told I could eat anything I wanted as long as I took the medication. I was prescribed Dipentum, a brand name for mesalamine. I started talking it around 2009-2010 and yes, it calmed my gut down and fixed my bowel issues. However, it also tanked my kidneys. I never got any bloodwork until 2019 and suddenly found out I have stage 4 CKD. So research the medication and possible side effects, and stay on top of your sons bloodlabs at least annually or more often. I made a video about how I got rid of UC. https://youtu.be/YSYDMzG1wM0?si=824gS3aWXY0736o- It started by giving up coffee, which was a trigger/irritant for me personally. I was able to get off meds but the biopsy done during my colonoscopy in 2021 or 2022 still tested positive for UC. But I started carnivore in May 2023 and when I had my last colonoscopy in the summer of 2024 the biopsy came back negative. Why coffee? It wasn't the caffeine as I still consume that. I was a pot a day drinker, so quantity could have been at play. Coffee is acidic and full of other compounds like polyphenols and other plant toxins that may have been irritating my already-senstive gut lining.
