Geezy

Just leftovers today but those leftovers were brisket so it was great.

I’m working my way through Over Diagnosed right now along with theee other books not related to diet.

You bring up a good point here. 2% milk is mostly sugar. Skim or fat free milk is all sugar. If you are going to drink milk then it’s best to drink whole milk so you are at least getting the benefit of the fat.

Busy day today. Besides working on my place I made two pounds of liverwurst. Mixed a pound of venison burger and home grown beef burger together and made hamburger patties which I then smoked along with a brisket. I then started a fresh batch of yogurt that will be ready tomorrow. I made carnivore pancakes for breakfast and made a batch of tallow from some of the fat I trimmed off of the brisket. Carnivore pancakes and eggs for breakfast. Rendering down brisket fat for tallow. Finished tallow and the fat bites left over for snacking on. Finally the finished brisket after a 12 hour smoke. A Texas staple. Ain’t it purdy? Mighty fine eatin right there folks.

Yeah I figured as much. Spell check usually gets me. And of course I wasn’t offended. If I had been I would just suspend your account.

Welcome Famal, we are glad you could join us. Three things that are hampering your weight loss and causing you to gain weight. Cheese and dairy. When most people stall out on their weight loss journey it’s usually because of dairy. Dairy has a sugar in it called lactose. It can be addictive and easily over eaten. I had to stop dairy for a time because I was eating too much of it myself. Now that I’m maintaining my weight I can eat some dairy but I still have to be careful of it. Alcohol. Alcohol can and will kick you out of ketosis so if you are serious about being metabolically heathy and lose weight you may want to abstain. If you find it difficult to abstain then choose your drink carefully. Beer is the worst thing you can drink and wine comes in a close second. If you must drink then straight sprits are your best bet. No mixed drinks. Vegetables. While vegetables are not the devil per se on carnivore we just don’t see any reason to eat them when they provide no nutritional benefits for us. If you are going to eat them you need to keep the carb count down to 20 grams or less a day. No sauces or seed oils in the cooking. Make sure they are leafy greens and not starchy root vegetables. Best not to eat them at all in my opinion. Anytime you stall out or start gaining then evaluate your diet and often you’ll find the culprit there. Hood luck and good health.

Could be?

Giving the addicted an excuse to stay addicted.

We think of seasonings as be benign or army worst something that may trigger an autoimmune issue but besides that just be aware that those seasonings have carbs. So keep that in mind if you are trying to be zero carb and especially if you are dealing with a plateau.

Yeah Berry had me going for a minute especially when he said it was a Texas company. I use a butter that’s made here in Texas so he definitely had my attention.

I am a carnivore and I don’t care how other people eat and will never tell them that they have to eat like I do unlike the vegans who demand we all conform to their religious way and it is a religion to them. I have met many carnivores that do believe that everyone should eat some kind of ketogenic diet with carnivore being the best but none of them ever try to tell anyone else how to live. We all lead by example. My wife is meat centric but she’s not carnivore but she does believe it’s a proper way to eat and my children are now eating carnivore because they saw the changes in me. I never told them to do it. It is important though that we always have an answer to any question asked and be willing to help anyone who asks.

Great testimony Scott. Educating yourself is the best defense against those who are brainwashed (as we all were at one time) and your personal example is the proof. It’s fun for me to debate the naysayers especially when they come from the ignorance of the mainstream of fake science. I’m a member of Quora and I have several posts to questions about diet and nutrition. The responses I get are hilariously ignorant and it’s fun responding to them but I do find it encouraging when I see how many likes my post generate and the positive responses from those who have had the veil lifted from their eyes.

No argument from me.

You got that right.

A couple of eggs with some ribeye fat bites and later in the day a big ribeye.

So far only zoom meeting on Monday nights. Bob will post a thread to the next one with the time and log on info. Come join us if you can.

Welcome to our group Melissa. Im glad to see someone come on board with such enthusiasm. You sound as though you’ve do your research well. You mentioned that you like salads so I’ll tell you my experience with that. After my son introduced me to this carnivore lifestyle I told him that I liked salads and my son asked me “Do you really? Or do you like what you put on the salad. Go grab a head of lettuce out of the fridge and eat it with nothing on eat and tell me how much you like salad.” He was 100% correct. It wasn’t the lettuce that I liked. It was the crunch of the leaf, the meats, cheeses, onions, tomatoes olives and highly processed, seed oil and sugar laden dressings. It turns out I could apply that sand thought to all of the vegetables I ate. It wasn’t what I was eating that I liked but all of the stuff I put on it.

Wild hog chorizo and eggs.

Do what you want but I would first get yourself fully entrenched in this lifestyle before dealing with the caffeine withdrawals. Many carnivores drink coffee and do just fine on it. Some find that it hinders their progress. So if it’s not causing any issues in you then don’t worry about it for now.

Came across this while studying this morning and couldn’t help but chuckle out loud during my quiet time. “Now God gives to man a new provision for food. Before the Flood God gave to man the green earth, the plant life, to eat. Now He tells Noah that he is able to eat animal life. There are diet faddists, and often this type of thing becomes a part of a person's religion. I once met a lady who was a vegetarian as a part of her religion, and she was quite excited when I told her that these antediluvians were all vegetarians. She thought this reinforced her argument that we should all be vegetarians, and she had her assistant take it down in her notes. However, I think she must have erased it later because I told her this: "I wouldn't make too much of it if I were you because you must remember that it was a bunch of vegetarians who were destroyed in the Flood. If diet had in any way improved them at that time, they would not have been destroyed." We see here that God now permits man to eat flesh.” J. Vernon McGee Thru The Bible vol 1
