Stop Eating This for Breakfast Every Day ⚠️🚫

great post.
Scott

Lots of variables. The inability to process fats would off-set the carnivore approach.
I do infusions as well as my IgG numbers were off the charts at one time. I have NMO-SD which has required Rituxamab infusions which last about five to six hours. Carnivore has worked well for my auto-immune issues but at the same time I have no issues with fats.
Hope there is someone out there that give better information.
Hope you find your plan.

The refrigerator in my shop is now 'on and off' appliance.
I took it out of my father-in-law's shop when he passed in 2004. He put it in his shop in 1995 when they built their house. And before that it was in the other house bought new in 1978.
I'm guessing it would take three or four of today's refrigerators to make 48 years of service.
I'm 56 and sound much older, but...'they just don't make things like they use to'. LOL

You will be signing autographs soon.

Just north of Raleigh in Middleburg/Kerr Lake.
Use to have a buddy just north of Hickory in Troy.

I was in Port Arthur near Sabone or Sabine lake in the early 90's.
I saw two seasons in Texas in the three months I was there (June-July-August) one was hot and the other was hotter.
Scott

85 degrees on Wednesday, 70 degrees at 7AM on Thursday morning, then wind gusts to 40+mph. heat lightning to a thunderstorm heavy down pour at lunch (1/2 inch in a couple hours), temperature dropped after lunch with sleet in some areas. I went out at 5AM this morning and scraped ice off the windshield. By 7AM it is 40 degrees and per the weather report should be back in the upper 70's this afternoon.
When your state has the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other, we can have all four seasons in one day.
Our weather forecasters are either lucky, or wrong. LOL

I went from 300+ to the 250's much quicker than I would have ever thought. I hit some stalls here and there as well.
Like Bob said, I had to do some experimenting to get back on the weight loss track. My biggest hitter for a stall was/is drinking milk. After a glass or two I could just about here the brakes squealing as the weight loss was coming to a stop.
I experimented with lesser fat than protein and not only did I stall but I gained a few pounds. For me, my best weight loss was with higher fat and moderate protein. I dropped down to 211 and then I started to get more and more into the gym.
I switched gears and started forcing myself to eat more to hit a protein target. I also introduced protein powder as I can't eat enough meat to hit the same protein target. I have since gained back to around 226 or so. On this kick, with the protein powders I don't believe my fat intake is exactly where I need it and the weight gain is a little easier.
Another thing Bob mentioned is body composition. I had a few stretches where the pounds sort of stalled, but I had to cinch my belt up a little bit more. I was changing but the scale was not keeping pace.
I would guess a tad more food per day could trigger some weight loss. You have lost a bunch and the body is probably trying to build some stores.
Scott

The same here.
They all seemed to take a break at the same time but once you mention, fried chicken, BBQ chicken, baked chicken, broiled chicken, grilled chicken they understand break time is over.

A guy moved to NC from West Virginia way back when and we worked together. He moved into a farming community and took up turkey hunting. He bought the nicest shotgun (a Benelli I believe) a "guilly suit" a sniper would be proud of and the latest and greatest turkey call. He was all set. He walked by the farmer's house early in the morning, waved at the old guy sitting on the porch, and deep into the woods. Just about the sunrise hit the old farmer told us he heard that Benelli cut loose. Boom, boom-boom,. boom. boom-boom. He looked a few minutes later and coming over the hill was my buddy with two handfuls of birds. The first thought was this dummy has killed hens and when he got closer it was even worse, not legally I guess but funny-worse. When the sun came up the guineas come off the pond dam and my buddy thought they were turkeys and bagged his limit in a matter of seconds. We have ridden him for that for the last 30 years.
I can't hear, see or read 'guinea' without thinking of his epic hunting story.
Off topic, I know. My apologies.
My buddy eats guinea eggs on the regular if he can keep them out of the road. They seem to enjoy directing traffic.
Scott

I am sort of the in the same boat. I am a life long rotating shift worker. My patter has been 9PM to 3AM or 9AM to 3PM for years.
Before carnivore I could go back to sleep after waking the first time and sleep til 4 or 5, and sometimes even six. That is no longer the case. When I am up, I am up and my day starts when my eyes open.
I was up yesterday morning around 3:30. I went to the gym, walked the dog, got a truck inspected, cleaned and re-housed some chickens, then flopped in the recliner with the laptop for the afternoon. I got paged into work a little early and worked from 4PM til 7AM this morning. I lifted on the way home, walked the dog and crashed like a rock. And just about 3PM on the dot, here I am. LOL
For the most part I feel rested and I think it sounds worse, or even appears worse than it actually feels. Just odd that I can't go back to sleep like I could in the past.
Scott

Muscle loss and bone density issues. The regain will be mostly fat.
If a person can use the GLP-1, get in a sustainable lifestyle, both diet and exercise, to sustain the loss of weight then I think the medicine could be used. The problem is that it is the 'miracle' drug as of late and there is no lifestyle change which cripples sustainability.
I'm sure there will be a nice lawsuit in the coming years.

I did in the beginning. I went to youtube and made an electrolyte solution but that has faded in time.
I now mix up several different salts in a plastic bowl, hake and then use as table salt.
When I fast for more than 72 hours I eat it by a few pinches here and there throughout the day.
I don't put the salt in my water because I don't like the taste.

I would imagine if there happened to be a couple dollars involved, we should not be surprised.
Scott

I do. I think I have the best shift as far as people as well as workers.
I cook for the shift on occasion as well as do pizza for the shift once every other months or so.
They make me look good pretty much everyday.
Scott

I should have taken a picture.
I ate fried catfish tonight. The first fried food I have had since May '24. It was battered in corn meal and fried in lard. I thought I would give it a try. It was pretty good.
I don't think I completely fell off the wagon, but I guess my feet did drag the ground a tad. LOL
Scott

Welcome back.
I lived in Silverdale and Bremerton way back when. I enjoyed my time there and never thought 'hiking' would be a thing for me. I spent most every weekend stomping thru the northwest. A tad bit rainy at times but really enjoyed my time there.
Again, welcome back.

Yep.
I'm right back at it just about immediately after. I am guessing everyone's plans have obstacles and bumps in the road.
Luckily mine are very minor and sort of funny and not all that impactful (except for the first ten minutes with the guy on the porch).
Last night at work we were talking about carnivore and fasting and I made mention that I have one employee that could single handedly stop my fasting. It is hard to fast when presented with a huge, very well prepared tomahawk steak, coupled with the appreciation I had for it being a 'show of appreciation by my shift'.
Sort of babbling.
Just a quick post this morning to wind down from nights.

When switching from a standard American diet to carnivore the difference between regular meat and grass-fed meat is minimal, minimal at best.
Grass-fed, free-range and organic are often used as misleading terms.
I would not eliminate eggs as they are just about nature's most perfect food. I eat fish and seafood for a couple three days each month.
I do agree it is an elimination diet but there is no need to eliminate chicken or pork or seafoods.
As far as 'good quality meats' I hit the bo-bo sections of meat whenever I can. I'm the guy that buys up all the reduced meats in one fell swoop.
