No thanks. I’ll stick with being a grunt. We only had to worry about getting shot at. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah as if anyone ever drank a coke for health reasons. Lol.

The sugar is putting you into a dopamine roller coaster ride. It raises your blood sugar and when it drops off it wants another “hit” so it turns on the hunger hormone Ghrelin. Eating fat is satiating because it suppresses that hormone. When I first started eating carnivore I couldn’t eat as much as I do now. I only eat when I’m hungry and like you, a pound of meat was about all I could stuff in but when I lost nearly all my fat is when my appetite increased. The reason is when we are fat adapted we only use fat for fuel but when we use up all of our body fat the body starts crying for more fuel than what your body can provide so it turns on the appetite. I try to eat 1.5 - 2 pounds a day but there are some days I still only want about a pound. There are five stages of carnivore The decision Adaptation Healing Ravenous Maintenance

Check these out. That oughta keep you busy for a while. Oh and welcome to Carnivore Talk.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Sean. I have been carnivore for a little over two years myself. I will occasionally get loose but for me it’s because of too much fat. I’m not sure what it could be in your case since you’ve already experimented with your fat ratios but since this is an elimination diet you might look at what’s not essential to your diet. You might try dropping the LMNT for a while. The magnesium or potassium could be causing an issue. I personally don’t thing that someone who has become fully fat adapted should be taking a supplement unless they are deficient in something or trying to fix something. I was taking LMNT and the. For cost reasons I switched to KetoChow and a blood test showed that I was in the danger zone for having too much potassium in my system. Now I only take LMNT when I know I’m going to be out in the hot sun working all day and sweating. If I don’t I’ll end up with muscle cramps. The other thing to look at would be your coffee consumption. I know that’s a hard one to give up but I could be worth a try. But I’d try giving up the electrolytes first.

Go Army! I just couldn’t see myself being stuck on a ship with a bunch of dudes floating on the ocean six months out of the year.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Dave. Yes, absolutely, carnivore is the best thing you could be doing for yourself if you have any form of cancer. It is also the best thing to heal your metabolism to help heal. Check out this short video from Professor Simon Seyfried on ketogenic diets and cancer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thinly sliced smoked ribeye tacos with French Brie. Egglife wraps of course.

Ox tail is some of the best fatty meat there is. I make sure it’s included when ever I get a cow processed.

Maybe it’s something on my end but I couldn’t get the link to open.

Of course. It’s very normal especially if you just jumped right in rather than easing into it. You could be eating too much fat but more than likely it’s just your gut biome going through the adaptation stage of rebuilding itself to digest fats and proteins instead of carbs. This phase can last anywhere from a couple of weeks to two months. For me it lasted 30 days. That’s common. Fat is very satiating so we stay satisfied much longer. We do t get that rollercoaster ride like we do with carbs. Just eat when you are hungry and eat until you are full. Just make sure you are getting enough fat. Again, normal. In the beginning your body is having to change its source of energy from glucose to fats. This can take some time so it’s important to just keep eating plenty of fat ( but not to the point of diarrhea). Give it time and it will turn around as your body adapts. Be aware that what some people experience others may not. I can’t say that my mental clarity has improved any but my irritability has improved greatly. I’ve never had depression so I can’t relate to that. That first ten pounds were probably just water weight. You haven’t stalled, you probably haven’t even started losing any fat yet. Until your body adapts to using fat for fuel you won’t lose any. A little advice for you would be to not be too concerned with the scale. Instead get you a tailors tape measure, the cloth kind. Measure every part of your body. Neck, shoulders, chest, waist, hips, butt, thighs, calves, biceps and forearms. Write them down in a journal and then remeasure every thirty days. This will be a better metric of your weight loss than the scale. This early in the diet I wouldn’t mess with any digestive supplements. If after you’ve been doing this for 3-6 months, if you’re still having issues then ox bile might be a good choice. But give your system time to adapt and heal. The only supplements you might concern yourself with at this time would be electrolytes of sodium, magnesium and potassium. This way of eating flushes water out of our system so it can affect your levels and might need to be replaced this can also affect your energy levels I think you should just ride it out. Your body is going through a radical change and the transition is different for everyone so just take some vitamin P (patience) and give your body time to heal. You didn’t wreck your metabolism over night and you won’t fix it overnight. Just KCCO (Keep Calm & Carnivore On) Oh, and welcome to Carnivore Talk we are glad you joined us.

@Bob You were thinking about getting a weighted vest and I came across this from Nick.

🤣 that is a great explanation of what we do. I love it. 👍 And that is how it’s done. There has never been and will never be a true RCT of how we eat. And since we are all so individual we must be our own N of 1 experiment. You are doing exactly what you should be doing and that’s finding out what works best for you. I’m personally scared of sugar. As an addict I feel that I must stay away from it. I don’t even want any sweet taste in my mouth, even from the artificial stuff. But that’s just me knowing me. Kerry Mann has put out three different videos about the 5 stages of carnivore. When I saw the first one I realized that he had nailed exactly what I had experienced. The 5 Stages of Carnivore 1. The decision 2. Adaptation 3. Healing 4. Ravenous 5. Maintenance The ravenous stage was really something. After I had lost all of the weight it looked like I was going to loose and my body had healed I became enormously hungry. I recognized that my body no longer had the fat stores to sustain my energy levels and it was craving more fat and proteins. That’s why I can eat more than some people. I have found that if I don’t satisfy that hunger I’ll start losing weight so in the maintenance stage I have to make sure I eat enough. Never in my life that I’d be in a situation that I’d need to eat more to keep from losing weight. Have I mentioned I love carnivore. 😋

There has been a couple of times in my life when I was pretty destitute and all I had was bread from the day old store. At one point I was starving for about 3 months and had nothing to eat but homemade flour tortillas that I made at the stove while in a walker. I am so grateful for God’s blessing today and for the trials He put me through in the past.

I saw that. I really like his explanations.

12 hand cut one pound ribeyes and 13 half pound hamburger patties smoked. Of course I find eat all of that but that will be my meals for the next week and a half.

Wow, I’d like to try that but it sure sounds like garlic overload. 😋

Welcome to Carnivore Talk James. Your experience could be of value to us here. It’s an important lesson to learn that when we clean up our diet we can experience a whole new life. I’m glad you could join us.

When I was an afiber I used some of these to keep my blood thin so I didn’t have to take any pharmaceutical blood thinners. I did take a full strength aspirin for years but stopped that after I became a carnivore and learned how bad it could affect the liver and kidneys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yesterday I cooked some hamburgers in my cast iron skillet. I used a combination of butter and tallow in the pan. I kept the used fat and used it to cook 8 scrambled eggs today. Wow, what flavors. The eggs weren’t pretty but the flavor was rich.

How does religion play a part? 1 Corinthians 6:19-2019 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
