Geezy

Yeah wouldn’t want to actually tell them to stop eating the poison that’s killing them. Let’s just reduce the dose.

Spot on.

Finding and connecting the parallels between my faith as a Christian and my journey as a carnivore. It’s been awhile since I’ve been inspired to write one of these but when I came across this during my devotion this morning it was just too good to pass up. I hope you can benefit from it. I came across this quote from Blaise Pascal who was a brilliant 17th-century French mathematician and physicist who had a dramatic Christian conversion experience and thereafter devoted much of his thought to Christianity and philosophy. “Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true. The cure for this is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason, but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive, make good men wish it were true, and then show that it is.” WOW! Does that not resonate with carnivore or what? Very profound on the Christian side of things but speaks volumes to the carnivore community as well. People don’t downplay what we do because they believe it’s wrong so much as because it might be true and requires a change in themselves that they are afraid to commit to. So when confronted with the unbelievers try to be patient and kind to them and give them a reason to wish it were true. You are the best example of that truth. Keep Calm and Carnivore On.

Yeah…gotta disagree with this part but everything else is spot on.

For those who are new or struggling with this WOE this is a great message from Dr. Tony Hampton.

This is way out of the norm for most questions we get and very complicated. I’m not that well versed with your issues but it sounds to me like you may not be a good candidate for eating carnivore. Since you don’t seem to be able to tolerate or break down fats there’s no way you can eat carnivore since this is a high fat diet. Although if you tolerate dairy you might be able to get some fat and there’s always sea food in the form of sardines, salmon, tuna or cod livers. But even at that I’m not sure you could get enough fat in your diet. In carnivore we should be getting at least 70% of our calories intake from fat and 30% from protein. Some do better on 80% fat and others do good at 60% but either way it’s still high fat. I’m sorry I don’t have a good answer for you but hopefully someone will come along that knows more.

Yeah, insurance sucks.

'they just don't make things like they use to'. LOL Yep and that is by design. It’s a greedy world we live in.

That’s great.

Good idea.

Sounds good Paul.

While modern medicine wants to blame gout on red meat alone there has been evidence that Glucose (carbohydrates) causes cell damage from glycation and oxidation, and insulin-resistance contributes to gout as well as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, breast and other cancers, PCOS, impotence, and a host of other problems. Elevated insulin also causes systemic inflammation as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids can also be inflammatory. Many believe it’s due to oxalate built up in the joint. Sally K. Norton has some very good information on that in this article. Sally K. NortonPainful Gout, Joint Pain, and Oxalates - Sally K.

I think it was Dr. Berry I heard say that there is no such thing as pre diabetes. You’ve either got it or you don’t

I I thought Texas had quick changing weather. We have a saying down here, “If you don’t like the weather now just go inside for 15 minutes and then come back outside, it’ll change”. But I think y’all got us beat.

To keep our chickens laying through the winter we add artificial lighting to fool them into thinking the days are longer.
