Thank you everyone I did have a weekend right after my post where I went on a sugar binge and got very very sick. I am now back on the wagon and have lost another 5 lbs. If I had not gone on the binder I would be down another 3. I am still working on my goal to be below 300 by September first of 2026. I asked my wife today to bring me ice cream (kind of a test) she came home with things for her and said you have to keep to your goal. I was very happy with her. She is being very supportive!

I have no idea why it crashed. To remedy it, I reinstalled the software from scratch and it seems to be working. Some of my customizations are gone but other than that everything seems to be in tact.

I've noticed several mosquitos annoying me tonight.

I thought sugar withdrawals would be something difficult.
No board sent me for a loop.
LOL

Hello everyone,
The community crashed sometime between Monday's livestream and yesterday evening. It took me some time to get it back up and running.
If you notice any bugs, please report them to me.

I got one of them spring loaded pokey things that has 48 teeny blades that poke down through anything ya smack it down on. It's called a tenderizer, not to be confused with the hammer style. I have that too. But I don't always use it on a chuck steak. Only if my gums are tender from eating something tough. 🙄 I don't have any teeth on the top side. But I still gnaw through about anything I want. 😀

FYI: Venting mode ahead. Not in a good mood this morning.
I'm currently in a short fast for a blood draw this afternoon. I've got a yearly health exam today which is a JOKE these days! $500+ for what? A little thumping, a little listening and a few questions from the doc and then you are out the door. What happened in the U.S. to a full physical exam? If these health checks weren't free I wouldn't even waist my time with them.
Where did all the good doctors go?? My neurologist has retired and I'm thinking I may not even search for a new one at this time. My MS is currently pretty stable and advancing very slowly. Her yearly exam charge was over $750 and all she does is have me walk a short distance, touch my finger to my nose and then she pokes me with a sharp stick (which she always calls Mr. Pokey, like I'm a damn 5 year old) to see if I can feel that, BUT she always had some new drug to try if I wanted to, to which I always have said "No Thanks". I don't want cancer (again) or PML.
U.S. health care is a frick'n joke!
After all that BS I'll be having a big ribeye. Beef is your best medicine!
"Eat your meat and live a long life" is what I say
Thanks for listening to an old guy bitch........... I'm out

Yesterday was leftover a left over T-Bone and eggs, four scrambled.
OMAD and the satiety of red meat can be crazy at times. I walked yesterday morning just shy of 3.5 miles with some pushups along the way.
I showered and went to the shop working on two old truck projects (needed them like I needed another hole in my head). I worked pretty much all day between the two and then came in around 6PM. I logged on to the internet, let the TV play and looked for more parts for my two trucks.
At bedtime around 9PM eating had not crossed my mind since earlier that morning. It is 4AM, on the way to the gym and the morning walk, and not the least bit hungry.
20-ish some hours without eating and I'm not hungry, nor have the wheels fell off.
Crazy.

Actually yes, at the buffet they did have raw oysters. They were just "okay" compared to the oysters I get up here in Ohio at my favorite seafood boil place. The ones at the buffett had the same size shells but much tinier specimens inside them. I just had to compensate by eating more, lol.

I try to live right and maybe the furthest down the rabbit hole I go to is the punishments for senseless crimes. I pretty much lose my membership to the human race with my views.
I would pass a law today that said the platform in which Charlie Kirk will remain in place. The only thing that can be done with that platform is to make sure the overhead structure will hold at least 250lbs of static weight.
When the culprit looked down as he swung, as his last breath is drawn, he can look down and the last sight he would see would be the blood he spilled.
Just not for Charlie Kirk but there are literally thousands of crimes in our country that I would plug into the above ceremony.
This man was killed for exercising his right to free speech. I have watched no telling how many of his videos and probably agree with him the majority of the time. If someone does not believe in homosexuality does not make them a homophobe. If I choose not to acknowledge someone as a pronoun, or them/they, it does not make me a bad person. I believe that person has every right to pursue life in route they choose. I spent six years in the military along side, both before and after, millions of men and women that has afforded us the rights we cherish. I don't believe I have the right to vote to tell other people how to live, even if I don't believe in their particular point of view. We should be able to get along.
Thoughts and prayers to Charlie Kirk's wife and two small children. Hopefully they wind up in a better world than their father left.

I went to an all you can eat seafood buffet last night.

I tried to get my money's worth out of them by hitting up the crab legs, shrimps, and ribeyes. I behaved for the most part, but certainly overate, lol.

Smoked wild hog shoulder.

My cousin who eats a SAD told me tonight "Man, that's a lot of protein!" 😁
Told him I was eating a 6 egg omelet and a pound of bacon and to keep the vegans happy, I was including a small cucumber. Omelet had extra butter, Not Margarine. lol I know he eats margarine. What his wife buys.
I have talked with them in the past about the benefits of eating mostly meat. I think it fell on deaf ears.

Those troponins can be elevated for other reasons besides heart tissue damage. It could also be from CKD, blood clots in your lungs (pulmonary embolism), too much exercise or strenuous activity, as well as the type of grief or stress that causes extreme emotional strain.

But here's a statin, lol.

I believe you are right. Back in the late 80's - mid 90's I worked at a small local hospital/er/amb. There were very few that I came to have any respect for. I saw alot of things go on. Do your own research. I am not a very obedient patient. 😉

May depend on what clinic you go to.🙄 According to her, they told her she would have this a very long time. Maybe forever. Power of suggestion does wonders. And the desire to keep folks as patients. Dr Berry says it will last about a year. About everyone I have met that comes in the store say they have had it for years. And are now on a list to be treated by this Kansas Doctor. Maybe the tides will turn.
Myself, I'm still not sure I fully buy into it. Probably just the conspiracy side of me. 😎
But if it's real and I do get it, I'll be armed with information to combat it.

I tried "Saving" family and friends from the SAD diet, but no one wanted my help, so now only my wife and I (and our dog) get to reap the benefits of a carnivore diet. Everyone else will need to do their own thing in their own life. The information desk is now closed! If ANYONE would ask for help I would direct them to a few Dr Berry videos and leave it at that.

I part time at a small mom-pop grocery store. And the Mom part of the store got diagnosed with Alpha-gal about three years back. Odd, because she seldom sets foot on any grass. Still, that's what the clinic told her she had. She heard tell of some doctor in Kansas that got amazing results in treating it and she made an appointment. So she went. She got home and said she had to quarantine herself for 24 hours, then she could try a meat. She said she had a pork steak and ohhhh it was so good. Then the next night her husband made beef liver and onions. And that went without any drawbacks. She told me today she had a cheeseburger the other evening and it was soo good. It was like having a Gourmet meal. I'm happy for her and she's in a lot better spirits now.
So what they do to her? Well, it's still not clear to me. But The Doctor she saw was an MD/DO. So I'm guessing the DO in his name played a big part. She said he did some muscle testing and poked around with a clicker thing. She was on her stomach. I'm guessing it was kinda the same thing my chiropractor uses sometimes. There wasn't any acupuncture involved. As with one of the other Alpha-gal treatments called SAAT. (Look it up) I'm gonna take a guess there was some Kinesiology involved. I just learned that word from researching Alternative alpha-gal treatments. She doesn't really know what all he did. Just that it has worked so far. I think she's told every other alpha-gal person in the area and I think they're all making appointments.
So if you have or get alpha-gal, know that there is alternative treatments for it.

I'd never heard of it either and had to look it up.

Lamb loin slow smoked.

That doesn’t sound like Alpha Gal to me.

Interesting. I will have to look into these alternative approaches to dealign with alpha-gal syndrome.
But from what I understand, is that the allergic reaction to red mammal meat will subside over time. I've also heard that you can try to reintroduce it in very small doses and gradually get back to where you were before the tick bite. The latter might just seem true because of the former though.

Two chuck steaks.
If I ate it caveman style, I'd havta borrow your teeth. 😁
