I must say that I am once again a fan of the power bowl. Lately I have been mixing ground beef, scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, and bacon all together. It's so tasty that cheese isn't even required, lol.

Depends on the grain, velocity and location.

Very true.
The 'harvests' way back when was minimal in comparison. We spray, we hybrid plants, we preserve all in efforts to maximum the volume, make it last long enough to ship it all over the world.
Today's tomato is not yesterday's tomato by any stretch of the imagination.

I will add that the fruit and veg that our for fathers ate are not what is available to us today. Everything available today is not what God created but what man bastardized.

At about 3 months on carnivore I really noticed circulation and body weakness on my left side and as the weight came off a number of health issues I had before that were hidden. I'mnow around 7 months pretty strict carnivore. Today I was out walking and noticed a significant return of strength on my left side (just about perfectly matching my right side) and only a twinge of pain in my hip at one point. I experienced much quicker recovery on my right side, so discovery is very encouraging. Not going back.

New to this Journey ... Looking forward to support and encouragement to keep on track ...

Ive noticing lately just how much our homelife has improved since going carnivore. I attribute this to better health and weight and improved stability with our emotions, reactions and decision making. Getting dinner used to be painful and I can't count the number of times I ended up eating a bag of chips or a chocolate bar (or both or more) and calling it dinner. On carnivore we have moved into a gentle routine of early morning coffee with heavy cream and later our afternoon meal which we prepare together. We are experiencing actual peace and healthy personal relationships and home environment now that did not exist previously. And I am really grateful❤️

I've done 92 hours. I would love to get a 100 hour "Centaury" fast completed this year yet. From about 36 hours onwards I just feel energized. It makes my brain all tingly 🤣

Wow!!!! I felt fantastic after the 48 hour fast.. euphoric even. I cannot imagine … want to try to increase my time as well. Good luck!!!

12 oz New York strip and a couple of 1/3 lb burgers all smoked.

I was up at 5am (with my flashlight) and got the smoker lit. Threw on a couple of $4.99 a pound chuck roasts for a nice long smoke. They turned out excellent. We just chowed down on one of them for our OMAD.
Belly full, Happy body!

I look forward to those improvements if they eventually happen.
But, if I get any smarter my wife is going to kick me out. Just saying.

I love blue cheese! Haven't noticed any side effects. I order a five pound bag through work and divide up with my egg producers. Keeps me in eggs on the cheap.

It WAS really good! 🤣

Welcome! Although I lost initial weight relatively fast, weight loss has not been quick for myself or the other member in my family also doing this. But it has been slow and steady, which gives my skin a chance to recover better as well as I lose the weight. I understand slower weight loss is also less muscle loss so that's a bonus too. I eat strictly to carnivore except for coffee with heavy cream (no other cheats or other snacks). I had to find a balance of protein to fat and salt that worked better for me and adjust the amount I was eating to lose weight. I also discovered I handle animal meat fat better than butter and we are moving to a better quality of the butter we do use as they arent all the same. Most days I eat one meal and I try not to eat after about 4 PM as when I eat seems to matter. I have gone through a number of plateaus where weight loss slowed or even stopped, but I was also going through body repair and I noticed my shape and muscles were changing as well. I have lost 33 lbs to date and my old clothes hang on me. Very encouraging. I do supplement with things like D, potassium, magnesium and zinc just because of many years of processed foods and sugar compromising my ability to absorb nutrients, but plan to see if I can gradually phase that out. My activity is increasing as I feel lighter and better which will definitely improve everything all round. I'm at about 7 months and I expect to be at my first main weight goal and health goal realistically at a 1.5 years given my age and state of health. This has definitely been an exercise in patience for me, but the positives have been nothing short of wonderful. Well worth it. I'm not going back to the other way of eating. So with some experimentation I hope you can discover what works best for you.

I take prescription Vascepa for my triglycerides, which is a purified and overhyped fish oil pill containing only the EPA and none of the DHA. I'm not really convinced it's better than a typical fish oil or krill oil capsule.
I do believe that if I ate more seafood I probably would get the same benefits as the supplement.
I've never looked into collagen supplementation.

I like to pressure cook ox tail. But they are far and few between. I usually have to wait till a neighbor butchers a beef and doesn't want any of the yucky innards or tails. 😀

Through the power of alchemy and luck, I turned some chicken livers into catfish.

That's become the normal purchase at the butcher shop. Three is about all that will fit on my gas grill. I try to save one to eat at work the next day, but it don't always make it. like tonight😏

2.57 pounds of grilled pork steak.

I started Carnivore at the end of April. when my pre diabetes crossed over into full blown diabetes. Doctor wanted to put me on Metformin. It was a huge wake-up call. I had already been watching Dr. Berry, Dr. Chaffee, and asked her to give me a few months to turn it around. I’ve seen the results of diabetes, and want none of that.
I’ve done Keto before, which was fine until I started adding the keto treats. Now I know they were just keeping me hooked on that sweet taste, and wanting more. After a couple of weeks eating only animal products, my cravings for sweets were gone - completely. It’s like a miracle. There are snacks in the house for the grandkids, and they don’t call to me AT ALL!
My A1c has gone from diabetic to normal, blood pressure from high to normal, I took myself off of the statin, joint pain gone, and I am walking regularly, sometimes twice a day because I actually have energy now! My gerd has improved, but isn’t completely gone yet, but that’s because I still have coffee. I feel like I’ll be able to give that up very soon.
This way of eating is just amazing to me. I’m never hungry. I enjoy every meal, but never feel bloated or over full afterwards. I no longer need to carry food around in case of an energy crash, because my energy is stable all day. I feel like a different person! I’m 61, and the future looks very bright now!

Smoked ribeye's and SPAM for my OMAD today. I couldn't even finish my one steak. My wife out ate me today and almost finished hers.
The third one will be ribeye taco's this weekend.
1500+ days and still not sick of meat 🤣.
