My son ordered wagu ribeye steaks and this picanha from Snake River Farms. Way more than I would pay for a cut of meat but I think the picanha tonight was maybe the best thing I ever ate in my life. He knocked it out of the park. I thought the steaks the other night were something but this things takes the cake. This cut was $90 and the two ribeyes were $100 a piece. Too rich for my blood, and as much as it hurts me to say (being really cheap) it is well worth the price of admission. LOL Scott

Good read. I would think this also tends to be more geographical as well. I mean the people in Alaska are not going to show signs of living on apples and oranges year around just as the people in the deep south making on whale blubber. I think we have always been carnivores and omnivores and herbivores, maybe even opportunist-vores or even scavengers. Hunger can drive the details of evolution. Scott

Agreed. I think most of us can attest to the effectiveness of a proper human diet, even those that are really close can be effective. Carnivore was so effective for me (almost like I was hyper-sensitive, LOL) if I ate a somewhat regular size steak (14 ounces or so) I could hardly look at food for 24+ hours. I guess my GLP-1's were just busting at the seams to get out and mingle amongst the food cravings. When I re-introduced sugar I could then eat twice a day most days during the week. I have to imagine continuing to eat the processed and sugary foods creates a battle between the GLP-1 and the cravings/continues hunger. And if there is a break in the GLP-1 and/or a stoppage, I can only think the old lifestyle comes back with a bang. Scott

My son and I have been teasing his mom and my wife about being a 'carnivore baby' since birth. He has told everyone when he turns six months he will get his first ribeye and sure enough, he did. I wish I had gotten another video as he watched us walk by with our plates, like, "I know what you have and you are holding out". Last night we did ribs and chicken. As he was eating his peas and carrots I can only imagine the letdown. LOL Scott

IMG 2332 My son ordered wagu steaks from Snake River farms. His wife bought him a new Grill Master grill for his birthday. And my grandson turned a 1/2 year old celebrating his first six months. This is his first taste of the meats, and he may have liked it a bit too much. Scott

Funny how anecdotal evidence is refuted. One small study can set the science world on fire but thousands upon thousands of cases of individuals doing basically the same study on themselves is anecdotal and hardly a slow burning coal. I doubt I will ever use a GLP-1, or ever need one, but I am not totally against them. In some cases it is a route to some weight loss but with that has to be the change in the lifestyle that led them to their health (weight) issues. Then ease off the medicine. I guess maybe carnivore was my GLP-1. I used it to lose weight and just so happen to get other benefits too. Almost like a bonus plan. I fear the GLP-1 users have a lot of negatives lurking around the corner. I am good with my version. Scott

We both have a lot in common. We like good food, multiple naps during the day and taking big "dookies". (He already has his man-card, LOL) Scott

Yes I agree with the change in pain approach. Scott

Yep. Mostly I think taking the shot or the pill seems easier and probably seems the quicker route. It would be a solid business model to get the prescription, take a few of the shots/pills, wait for the long-term side effects and get in on the class action lawsuits. Not the smartest route but I can see it paying off....if you live long enough. Scott

In total agreement. I watched a show with Dr. Attia (spelling) on 60 minutes and he asked the person interviewing him about how much he studied human nutrition when he was in school/becoming a doctor. He said not even five minutes, if that, but much closer to zero time on nutrition. I am also a big fan of Google University and the Youtube College of Medicine. I am pursuing my degrees in anything from paint and body work on my project trucks to reversing my auto-immune disease with food and pretty much any and everything in between. LOL Scott

Listening is almost a lost art. Here at work tonight. I started the carnivore diet in May '24. Another guy here gave it a whirl and lost over a hundred pounds in a year. He has since reintroduced some fruits and has an occasional night out with the family and kids where he eats what we call the 'trash diet'. He is doing really well. There is a guy that works for me who tried it, lost a bunch of weight which relieved some pretty severe back pain. He also got off blood pressure medicine. The reverted back to the 'trash diet', gained some weight back, the back pain has returned and again he is battling his blood pressure. I would like to think in the same situation I would go with the plan I know will work. But??? He chose blood pressure medicine and one of the GLP-1 style pills. Tonight it looked like it hurt pretty bad to stand up and go to the floor to start the shift. I try not to get up too high on the pedestal, but it is one thing for someone who has no experience, but it has to be a completely different story to experience a ton of positives but then choose pills and pain. I am at a loss. Scott

I'd buy tickets to that debate. LOL It still baffles me that I have no medical schooling whatsoever (passed CPR/First Aid stuff) and I can easily find study after study that supports red meat, fats and a lower insulin resistance. Someone with a medical degree that information should be right in their wheelhouse. I find that sort of weird. Scott

Dr. Marc Siegel breaks down the 'carnivore diet' for babies, calls it an addiction | Fox News Video This popped up on my phone earlier tonight. One of the things that amaze me the most is that I found out about it, did some research and learned a ton of new things. With that said, I am nowhere near the level of a physician in background, experience nor education. Yet so many doctors are hung up on 'red meat kills', especially 'fatty red meats'. Maybe my amazement is that I got the memo they managed to miss. LOL Killing time at work. Scott

Good read. It is one of those articles like, "I already knew that before I really knew that". Scott

I think this is the case with most everything. The marketing, the marketing and even the front of the labels can be very misleading on a lot of products. I have not used olive oil in just about two years now but the bottle we have is a couple dollars more per bottle than some of the others on the shelf. I have never read the label, but we always bought that particular brand because it is the one my wife prefers. After last night I am going to check out the label. Scott
