I use mustard. And I eat pickles (from the grocery store)

Welcome Boss man, it sounds like you're figuring things out. Hope the D comes down soon.

I find that sweeteners make me hungrier and give me GI issues. It's best to ditch them. I have gotten to the point that if I'm going to cheat it's going to be something that my great grandparents would've had. I just eat the sugar. I think sweeteners are just as addictive as sugar is anyway. Try switching to plain yogurt with berries at first, then you won't feel super deprived. If you drink soda switch to club soda. If you drink sweet tea, pick up some peppermint tea instead.

There are at least four genres of carnivore YouTubes. You have testimonials (my fave), you have well researched cut and dry essay type videos like Dr Ken Berry and Carnivore Talk. There are interviews with and among the thought leaders and then there are the Influencers. They sort of rely on their audience needing guidance. These are the videos where they promise the golden egg of wisdom but only deliver word salad and uncertainty. Just keep tuning in for the answers, keep chasing that carrot they are dangling. I feel like the priming is a way to get people to pay for guidance. The more complicated they make it, the more you are willing to rationalize paying to be part of their group. I'm not knocking paying to be part of an online group. I was in one for a couple of years when I did fasting. It just seems like some people are on YouTube to share how great this is, and if they make money it's a bonus and then others...well it seems like they are motivated primary by $$$.

I love pickle juice!

Me too, but my store never carries chuck eye. Thankfully, my Mom turned me on to Laura Spath's method of breaking down the chuck roast that contains the eye.

I have heard of this priming but I'm not sure of the rational. I think it probably works better for woman, honestly. I say this because it address hormonal hunger. And women tend to come from a background of calorie deprivation. I have had problems with "leptin resistance" I put that in quotes because I feel like Bart Kay would say it's not a real thing, but a construct. But in the beginning and certain times of the month I am more hungry. So on those days I do allow my self to eat, but on the days that I'm not as hungry I do try to extend my fast for as long as I can. Here's why I think priming is not a great idea, it's basically gluttony. I'm not passing moral judgement, but things that are sinful generally aren't wise or good for our physical body either. Why overtax your system unnecessarily. Fasting is way better.

Ouch, that sounds super painful @Geezy I think too much water on hot days is what worsens the problem. Whenever I made an effort to stay hydrated on hot days outside, I would get terrible headaches. I may have been unwittingly flushing out the electrolytes with too much water. Carnivore Rabbi just did a video pondering about improved heat tolerance. Has anyone here noticed and improvement?

1st, l love your handle! I think it depends on your previous habits. Have you been practicing time restricted eating for awhile? Some people are good with the rip off the bandaid approach while others do better with smaller incremental changes. What was your WOE like before carnivore.?

I have been off caffeine for a few months and Dr Chaffee is spot on about the muscle soreness. I had one cup about a month ago and my IT band on my thighs lit up and ached for two days. I have been pondering what I will do for a hot beverage on BBBE. I think I might try salt egg and butter frothed in hot water. Bone broth is a great idea, I just don't have any currently.

Honey is not from plants so it would be okay. I guess some carnivores use it. I think it will be a fun experiment to see what life is like without the supplements. I take ginger and maca regularly along with a bunch of B vitamins. I think I will drop them all except the lugols iodine. My biggest struggle will be no decaf. I can take black decaf, and sometimes I drink hot water, but decaf is my last entertainment food.

I was sprinting up until school got out. I get out of all regular routines from July -September. I enjoy sprinting. I also try to hang from jungle gymn whenever we are at a playground, I saw somewhere that it helps strengthen the rotator cuff muscles.

I find that drinking cold beverages after eating a big meal causes diarrhea, also over eating fat, like too much in one meal or over the course of a day will cause diarrhea.

I just heard Paul Mason explains that blood sugar goes up with exercise and taking a hot shower. Both increase blood flow. More blood flow means higher blood sugar.

Know idea if it will work but maybe take some of the liquid out and make like an egg custard with it and then add it back in?

Toilet paper has been more clean since starting carnivore. Occasionally there is nothing there. But TBH that area hasn't been 100% right since I gave birth to my daughter. I believe the doctor stitched me up a bit weird down there and I suspect I had an infection that went disregarded despite the subsequent check ups. I have to admit that during this season I have been lax in adhering to diet. I also noticed before starting carnivore when I ate omad, I had "regular" bm's. By regular I mean easy to pass no mess. Things tend to digest better for me if I condense my eating into a 4-8 hour window. I do know certain plants speed up transit time. For me that's beets and coffee. The poo doesn't have enough time in the chamber to have the water absorb properly because either the fiber or plant toxins agitate the crap out of me too quickly and that means extra clean up. I feel like butter decaf helps keep things running smoothly. Currently, because we still have a garden I have been eating cucumbers, squash and onions and occasionally ice cream. When September rolls around I want to try 30 days of just bbbe.

This recipe would make a great YouTube video.

For me more beef and butter makes bathroom time quicker and cleaner.

No only when I eat too much dairy or stray from carnivore.

Yesterday I took a chuck roast out of the souvide ate lunch time. So so good! Pork ribs and blade steak with garden cukes for dinner.

On the topic, if any of you have already had a chat with doc, about cholesterol please share stories about how that went. I have hyperlipidemia on my chart. I feel like it's a bad mark in school. I hope the standard of care catches up with the hard science on this one and soon!

I like Fage and Brown Cow brands. I have made it in the past. I think you just heat it(milk) to a certain degree and add a tablespoon or two of yogurt you have on hand and then you wrap it in towel to maintain temp and leave it on counter overnight.
