  1. Welcome Jamie! I haven't heard of Bart Kay; I'll have to look him up.
  2. I think they lowered the "normal" range for blood pressure as well. It's all nonsense.
  3. Welcome Bev, this is a great community. This way of eating feels right to me too.
  4. These guys give great advice; other than that, I would just reiterate that it’s best not to think in terms of normal vs not normal. Tons of people have had success, but it doesn’t come the same way for everyone. I’m 7 months in and still looking to make adjustments for my body. I believe we’re all on the right track, it just takes fine-tuning and patience.
  5. Looks really good. I don’t have the patience to spend much time in the kitchen.
  6. Great support and practical suggestions from Bob, Geoff, and Orweller. I was just reading some quotes this week—by the incomparable Bruce Lee. He said, “Research your own experience. Absorb what is useful. Reject what is useless. Add what is essentially your own.” I’ll just add my two cents about herbalism. I’ve always believed herbs were medicinal and useful, but my perspective has evolved. In the past, my attitude was: herbs will not harm because they are natural, and so I overused them. Today I think herbs can be harmful, and they should only be used to address a specific imbalance/dysfunction in the body, and ideally it should be temporary. Dogs and cats instinctively chew on certain plants when they are ill, but not when they are healthy. Herbs are medicinal plants and not food. In very difficult cases, longer term use of herbs might be beneficial, but I think it’s important to take breaks, so the body isn’t continually ingesting these “medicines.” And if the body is healthy, the body doesn’t need herbs. That’s my current opinion, but I encourage everyone to develop their own insights through their own experience.
  7. The work of Weston Price also showed that indigenous people who ate primarily meat had super healthy teeth and jawbones.
  8. I’ve never had a weight problem, so it’s always been about feeling healthier. Whether you choose to be strict or not so much, I think carnivore is definitely a lifestyle.
  9. Sounds like you're on the right track. Maybe the lion diet is just right for you. Welcome to the journey!
  10. Increasing fat is good, and give tallow a try in lieu of butter. Dairy constipates me, so I use tallow. You have to do some trial and error and see what works best. Hemorrhoids is one of the few problems that has improved for me, so I think there’s a good probability yours will get better.
  11. Hello All, I hope it’s ok to post this here. I just want to mention that I have started a new creative project: publishing about my carnivore journey on substack under Carnivore Body Lion Heart. The point is to engage others by sharing my experiences, thoughts, and creative expressions. If anyone is curious, I invite you to find me here: https://leszekdimitriwiniarczyk.substack.com
  12. I injured my lower back many years ago and every so often it would flare up and I couldn’t even put my shoes on. I got some chiropractor treatments and then decided to use an inversion table every day. This helped tremendously, although it took a long time. After that, I developed extreme stiffness in my lower back (it was likely from eating carbs) and the inversion table didn’t help. Now that I’m eating carnivore, the stiffness has improved.
  13. Thanks for sharing Bob. I’m adding this to my list of “to read” books.
