Welcome to the forums Helen. Enjoy the ride, it may have a few ups and downs but it's worth every minute of it.

As Bob said, restarting the statins is a PERSONAL choice. Remember our bodies have a CIRCULATORY SYSTEM ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ CLICK THE LINK CIRCULATORY | English meaning -...circulatory1. relating to the system that moves blood through the body and that includes…So explain why doesn't the "CHOLESTEROL" build up in the veins? Since it travels throughout the who circulatory system, it would make sense to clog veins as well as arteries. Find out where the body's cholesterol comes from, hint Ask your Dr why your liver is trying to kill you. Liver makes up approximately 80% of the body's cholesterol. <<<< Please look this up I myself have stent in main artery to heart since 2014, cholesterol has been over 500 (pre carnivore) and dr's prescribed statins and I would take them when I felt like it. 1 year on carnivore, watching youtube dr's, nutritionists, and physiologists discuss, tear apart the panacea created by the health management system.... I took myself off statins completely. I have 0 chest pains like before i've taken maybe maybe 4 nitro pills this year vs 5 a week pre carnivore. Watch Dave Mac's 10 minute vids on the system (he's got several), watch Dr Chaffee's cholesterol video and I have a short in my signature you can watch. Be diligent in your research, don't take my word for gospel.

This popped up in my feed the other day, just found the time to post this. S&BG (I don't follow her but this is still some valid information)

Following this regimen as a weight loss short cut isn't what the majority of this community found carnivore for as much as health reasons. Eating ANY fatty meat, staying away from ANY carbs is recommend. The more fat the better you can even add butter for fat content. I ate 16 eggs/day for 6-8 weeks last year to break my stall and it worked while being full all the time. Can it get boring ??? Only if your goal is to lose weight and you THINK you need a variety.

I had raw brisket Mon nite live with Dr Kiltz. Grocery store meats are handled by too many people, processed several times so I don't trust it if it's not subprimal cut.

I buy whole brisket & grind it myself instead of processing chuck roll. Less work & tastes better. I buy the select cut of ny strip or ribeye if grass fed is sold out due to price increase. Also I wait for the sales christmas and beginning of the year to get the GOOD cuts cheaper. Brisket burger less than $5/lb is my go to.

Surgery Friday went well but gained weight as expected. Been eatin 2.25 lbs bone in ny strip for past week, back to brisket burgers tonight.

preheat oven 220F......temp probe to desired wellness 20-30 mins EZ get skillet (cast iron preferred or stainless) rippin hot, sear the fat first , yup it's not apartment friendly cookin so make sure you have windows open. Once fat is crispy brown color sear the other sides then throw skillet with 2 steaks maximum in preheated oven.

Decided 72 hrs was sufficient and wanted to eat dinner with in-laws since arrival. I broke my fast with 1.25 lb bone in NY strip.

64 hrs into a 72 hr fast. I may do 96 hr fast because I'm feeling so great right now.

Love this guy's work.

WTF is this BS......Total ignorance FDA Elevates Recall of 64,800 Lbs. of Butter Due to Undeclared Milk https://share.google/KUuUNu6VFwkfebt9j

I would highly recommend doing a water fast 24-72 hrs or however long you can to maybe reset your system before eliminating coffee/electrolytes. This is an elimination diet and carnivores are just as susceptible to certain things causing gut issues. Like mentioned above electrolytes are usually needed for transitioning to carnivore from sad diet. As mentioned coffee could be the issue as well. So with that said I would eliminate 1 thing at a time for 30 days and see if that makes a difference. If not then eliminate the other for 30 days and see how that works. Another thing is are you drinking black coffee, butter in it or cream? Please update us on your progress.
