Geezy

The medical community shows its ignorance on a daily basis. To lump everyone into one category as if we are all alike is the utmost form of ignorance. You and you alone are responsible for your health and what’s best for you.

If it’s pure butter then yes it’s fine on carnivore. I eat nearly a stick of butter a day with my meals. I use the cheapest butter I can find that’s pure butter and has nothing added to it.

While I won’t pass up a nice rack that’s true. But I’m a meat hunter and not a trophy hunter.

Welcome Ken. So what ailments are you trying to remedy?

Good job. Any gain is an accomplishment.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk. Many carnivores, including myself, report sleeping less. It’s not a bad thing if you are not experiencing any ill effects. Calories are not a good metric by which to measure our food consumption since it is just a measurement of heat. We can’t actually eat a calorie but we can eat mass. Even if calories are used it’s not the calorie that matters but what your body does with the calorie. For instance, 3,000 calories from a doughnut will process in our bodies totally different from how 3,000 calories from a steak. While it’s generally considered ok to drink milk and consume dairy on carnivore just remember that dairy contains a lot of sugar in the form of lactose. If your body is handling it ok then it shouldn’t be a problem. As active as you are it may be just fine. I eat cheese and use some cream but I don’t drink milk. If I did it would put weight on me which is exactly what it was designed to do. Yes, the coffee and nicotine could be what’s interfering with your sleep. They are stimulants and are not good for you. If you could quit them that would definitely be a positive for you but from your description of your sleep and how you feel it really doesn’t seem to be an issue. I tend to go by how I’m feeling and if I’m feeling good then I don’t think anything needs to change. It sounds to me like you are doing pretty good.

Absolutely, in fact I’d say most have. It’s really not a big deal. You just need to start where you are at. Don’t beat yourself up over it but use it as a learning tool. It can actually be a good thing as it teaches you to recognize where you are weak so that you can avoid that next time. I believe it’s more of a mindset as anything. Get your priorities straight as to what you really want and be determined to achieve your goals. Nothing can stand in your way if your mind is right. Forget the mistake but remember the lesson.

Welcome to our little group. Congratulations on coming over to carnivore. We are here to help and support you any way we can. My first bit of advice would be to not try to do too much at one time. Work on progress over perfection.

Welcome Eve and welcome back to eating right again. Starting over again shows that you are no quitter. You now have the experience and wisdom to know where you are weak and can learn from it. Like most of us its sounds like you are a carb addict. The problem with being addicted to anything is that it’s extremely difficult to moderate what you are addicted to and in my case I’ve found that it’s easier to just completely abstain from what I’m addicted to. I hope you find the support you need here and are successful in your goals. Remember, nothing tastes as good as how you feel.

Recipe Blue Cheese Butter Recipe (Easy Compound Butter for Steak) Easy blue cheese butter with garlic and herbs. A simple compound butter that melts over steak, burgers, veggies, or baked potatoes for bold flavor. Ingredients • ▢ 

½ cup butter (one stick) salted preferred or add ¼ teaspoon kosher salt if unsalted butter • ▢ 

½ cup blue cheese crumbs • ▢ 

1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped • ▢ 

1 teaspoon basal • ▢ 

2 cloves garlic crushed Instructions • Allow the butter to come to room temperature. You can also microwave it briefly—about 15–20 seconds, flipping halfway.
 • Combine the soft butter with ½ cup of blue cheese crumbles, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of dry basil, and 2 cloves of crushed garlic in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
 • Spoon the mixture onto parchment or wax paper and roll into a log. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours to firm up.
 • Slice into 1-tablespoon pats and serve on steaks, vegetables, or anything hot.
 Notes Pro Tips 1. Use softened butter—it makes mixing easier. 2. Salted butter is preferred. If using unsalted, add ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt per stick. 3. Any blue cheese will work. Crumbles are easiest; ½ cup is about 2 ounces. 4. Store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze pats flat in a sealed bag for 2–3 months. 5. Great on steak, vegetables, burgers, potatoes, or stirred into rice or noodles.

I love smoking meats. I’m old fashioned and use what we refer to as a stick burner, also known as an offset smoker. I modified mine earlier this year when I installed a new fire box and turned it into a reverse flow. As I’m typing this I’ve got two tri tips and three racks of baby back ribs on it. Let us know how those chuck roasts came out.

I find it both funny and sad that doctors are so ignorant. I have the same kind of doctor. He thinks I’m killing myself but at the same time praises me for my weight loss, reversal of my crones, IBS and atrial fibrillation. He just can’t get past the cholesterol. Lol. You aren’t missing anything by being allergic to statins. They are worthless and don’t do anything for you. They are nothing but a money making scam for Big Pharma.
