I eat Smithfield bacon. I'm blessed to live only 20-minutes from Smithfield, VA where it comes from in the Mid-Atlantic, so I get it relatively cheap and very fresh.

Smoked 12lbs. of Pork Butt yesterday. Had 1.5 pounds last night and another pound so far today. I'll grab another pound for a snack shortly. I used a zero-sugar spice rub and apple wood chunks.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I appreciate it. Not all the way Carnivore yet, about 90%. My wife insists on making low carb veggies for dinner like green beans, broccoli and stuff like that. Not optimum, but not the worst either. From the time I get up until dinner I'm all Carnivore.

James H. Salisbury (1823–1905) was an American physician and chemist known for his advocacy of a meat-centered diet to promote health, and the term Salisbury steak for a ground beef patty served as the main course has been used in the United States since 1897. Just ran across this and thought that I would post it. I find it interesting that eating a meat-based diet was thought of back in the 1800's. Lived a long life as well.

Good evening. After playing around with Low Carb and Keto diets for the last few decades I'm jumping into Carnivore starting tomorrow morning. I have done this in the past for several days to a week and felt great and like a fool, I let that slip. I'm a 53-year-old man that is 20-25 pounds overweight. I train with kettlebells and do a fair amount of walking daily. I have horrible knees and need them replaced. I'm hoping that I can reduce the inflammation to the point my knees suck less. I'm here to learn from great people that have already started the same journey. Thanks for the great forum. Shawn
