I’m beginning to believe that Bill Gates is demonic.

I was thinking that Bob might be a member.

Exactly.

I’m not a diabetic but I know many are and thought this information might be of interest.

Being that new to carnivore the most logical reason you were have energy issues is your body had not adapted to burning fat for energy. It was still wanting carbs to burn. It can take some time before we become fully adapted and until it happens you’ve just got to tough it out. It’s part of what many in the community call the keto flu. Some people don’t do well going cold turkey into carnivore and need to ease into it by being keto first and then tapering down to carnivore. I’m a jump in with both feet kind of guy so I went hard core from the beginning and I experienced what you did but I just powered through it. As far as the weight loss and you being already slightly built the question would be what is your built like? You may be slim but are you an athletic built slim or are you a weak slim. If you are skinny-fat then it would make sense that you were losing. If you are athletic then you may not be eating enough. To calculate protein needs, one should aim for approximately 1 gram to 1.2 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass and an equal amount of fat. This approach is suitable for individuals seeking to maintain or gain weight and muscle mass. Protein requirements may vary based on factors such as age, activity level, and individual metabolic health. Fat (or lipids) - 9 calories per gram. Proteins - 4 calories per gram Now I never counted anything myself. I just made sure everything I ate was cooked in animal fats and any rendered fat was poured back over the meat like a gravy. If the meat is lean then I’ll eat butter with every bite of meat. Good luck and welcome to Carnivore Talk.

Exactly! I’m a carnivore and have cancer. The cancer was developing long before I became a carnivore but if someone hear I was diagnosed with cancer after I became a carnivore they would blame the diet and not what I did before the diet.

Good job brother. 👍👍

While I’m not saying any of this is wrong or misleading and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it was all very accurate but I compare these with the same type of articles that bemoan red meat as being the cause of all ailments known to man. Lots of “maybes”, “mights” and “could haves”. I agree that peanut butter is not a food we should be eating but for different reasons.

I’m excited for you Paul.

Busy day cooking today. First up was bacon wrapped smoked venison backstrap. Next up was beef tongue. First time cooking it. Boiled it until tender and then sliced it and pan fried it in tallow. Wow, this was tender and delicious. Last was some beef cheek meat. Slow cooked in the crockpot with a little beef broth. Extremely tender and fatty. 😋

😱😱😱 That would be a hanging offense in Texas.

OMAD just came naturally to me in the beginning. I didn’t do it on purpose, it just happened. I had a rule that I would only eat when I was hungry. It seemed silly to eat by the clock. Our ancestors ate when they were hungry but we started eating by the clock to fit into corporate America timelines. I now eat 2MAD to keep my weight up and to spread out my meals because as I said on another post, I would eat so much at my one meal that I would be too stuffed to get anything done. Don’t concern yourself with eating ONAD just because other people are doing it. Do what works best for you. You’ll have less stress and feel better about your diet.

Try to remember that we are all different with different physiology’s. My experience may not be the same as yours but regardless, this can still be the best, most optimal way of eating for your metabolic health. Hang in there and stay the course.

I wouldn’t know since I can’t add, subtract, multiply or divide. Thank goodness there are calculators, google and AI to help people like me. I have a learning disability when it comes to numbers and it’s been a struggle all my life. The year after I graduated from high school a company by the name of Texas Instruments came out with what the called a Pocket Calculator. Had that been invented four years earlier I might have been able to pass my high school math without cheating. 😏 I’m thankful that this stupid gene wasn’t passed on to my children. My son is a math genius.

I can relate. Meats and fats can keep me satiated for a long time and I sometimes have to eat even though I’m not very hungry because I know I haven’t eaten enough for the day. Keep up the good work.
