He was but started allowing some carbs in and is now completely off the rails. He’s paying the price for that too. He was once a good example for me and now I’m trying to be a good example for him.

As a hunter who eats a lot of venison throughout the year I can tell you that it is definitely too lean. Now when we speak of our ancestors eating what they killed we must remember that they ate the whole animal not just the muscle meat. They ate almost all of the internal organs including the diet fat around the kidneys. They also ate many parts that are mostly fat such as the brains and the bone marrow. So unless you are killing your own game you are not getting what they ate. I do eat some of the organs from my kills but I don’t go to the same extent that our ancestors did. When I eat venison, Wild game or any lean meats I make sure to cook it in animal fats and eat it with plenty of butter.

No hunter in his right mind ever addd up the cost per pound of meat. Ignorance is bliss in this regard. I just love to hunt and it’s my therapy. My success is not counted in how much game I take but how much satisfaction and enjoyment I get out of it. I love living off the land as much as possible. I dropped my deer lease this year because I bought a big enough place that I can now hunt my own land so there will be a savings there especially if I process my own meat. But yeah, game meat is the most expensive food there is.

Welcome Diane. If you want a better response it would be a good idea if you would post this under its own question in the Introduction thread.

I raise or hunt most of the meat I eat so I don’t have many shopping tips.Raising your own or hunting isn’t really that much of a cost savings it’s just what I like to do and it keeps my taxes down. It’s also nice to know where my food comes from and what’s in it. The one shopping tip I have is to always buy on sale and in bulk. When I do buy meat I will generally buy a whole rib roast and cut my own steaks. I might spend two hundred dollars on one roast but I’ll get 10 to 15 one pound steaks out of that roast. You can’t buy the individual steaks for that price.

Lamb ribs and beef heart.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk. While it’s not important to exercise to loose weight it can be important to exercise to keep from loosing too much weight. This happened to me over the winter. I got off of my workout routine and lost muscle mass.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Jackie. I’m sorry you struggled with going carnivore but it does happen with some people, especially if they aren’t accustomed to eating fatty meat. There are other ways you can help get your fat intake. You can make sure everything you eat is cooked in animal fats such as lard, tallow or butter. You can eat butter as a snack or as butter bites. You can use butter and MCT oil in your tea or coffee. You could also ease into the diet by starting out with more of a keto diet and slowly ease into carnivore over time. And maybe you just might not be cut out for carnivore and ketovore would suit you better.

There is no “perfectly” in this way of eating. There is only what works for you. We aren’t dogmatic all different and as such have different needs so you must fit this way of eating into what works best for you. We do start out with a foundation of just eating 70% fats to 30% protein in relationship to calories and just drink water but from there we build out diet to suit our needs. We are here to help you any way we can. My first suggestion would be to get Dr. Shawn Bakers book The Carnivore Diet. It will help you understand how to get started.

Happy carniversary.

It’s all about control.

What do you think Bob? Is he accurate?

Yeah they are talking about the general public for sure. We are probably less than half of one percent of the total population just in the U.S. As I stated in the livestream they were confirming what I said about a shortage of cattle being produced. As more farm land and ranches are being sold off and developed the fewer cattle are being raised. The young folks don’t want to continue the family farm or ranch after the old folks die, it’s just too much work for the younger generations. So they sell the land, make their money and move on. It’s really driving up the price of cattle right now. That’s great when I sell but not so great when I buy.

It’s been a while since I’ve been inspired to do this but I was today so here’s some more musings from my daily devotional. Who are you a slave to? “Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NASB Remember when you were a slave to your food and how you ate? It dictated everything about your life. Food was in control and you obeyed its every command. Today you have a different way of eating that actually frees you to choose from the heart to be a slave to it. You willingly obey it for the joy it brings to you. I will gladly be a slave to carnivore. We have that choice to be “slaves of the one whom you obey”. You have been freed from a life of misery and a possible early death to now having a hope of a life that is healthy, pain free and happy. Yes, we will all die eventually but how we get there and what happens afterwards is our choice.

On the livestream Monday night the question came up about the rising price of beef and I offered a reason as did someone else. Today I got this in my email. It explains better than I can. Texas Farm BureauRetail beef prices hit record highs - Texas Farm BureauBy Shelby Shank Field Editor Retail beef prices are reaching record highs in the U.S., driven by the shrinking U.S. cattle inventory and continued strong consumer demand.
