Geezy

Thats funny at sad at the same time. Funny because of the gleeful ignorance and sad that he was shooting at something he couldn’t identify. Broke one of the rules of safe gun handling and safe hunting but yeah, it’s still pretty funny since nobody suffered but the Guineas. I’ve run over several in my area. Unlike chicken ms they will just dart outta nowhere like they are trying to tackle you. It doesn’t end well for them.

Interesting article. I wonder why they didn’t mention the biggest side affects, possible stomach paralysis, most of the weight loss is muscle tissue and they must take it for life or they will most likely put the weight back on in fat. I must admit though that I almost went on that stuff when my doctor suggested it but at the time it wasn’t approved for weight loss and my insurance wouldn’t cover it. I’m so glad I found the carnivore lifestyle.

I know several people who raise them. When my friend has an over abundance of eggs he’ll give them to me. The eggs are small but they are good.

Looking forward to hearing your results.

I rarely do any extended fasts, just intermittent fasting but I salt my water every day throughout the day.

Guinea Fowl salad wraps today. A friend had too many male guinea’s so he gave me a couple. Their meat is very similar to turkey. The salad was made with the breast meat, avocado mayo, hard boiled eggs and chopped bacon wrapped in egglife wraps. My wife’s version had onion and relish in it.

I’ve heard of many others that experience the same thing. I experienced some of that in the beginning but for the last couple of years I haven’t slept good. I have to get up two to four times at night to pee due to my prostrate. I only get six to seven hours of sleep a night. I almost never feel refreshed. I’m just thankful that I’ve got the sustained energy of carnivore to get me through the day.

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.

What’s your opinion on this Paul?

So I had the tv on a commercial came on for one of those glp1 weight loss drugs. It claimed that you could lose up to 14% of your weight in one year and this got me to wondering how much of a percentage I had lost in my carnivore journey so not being able to do math I asked ChatGPT and this is what it said. Q: My weight was 236 pounds and my weight now is 160 pounds. What percentage of my weight did I lose? A: You lost 76 pounds total. To find the percentage of weight lost: \text{Percentage lost} = \frac{\text{weight lost}}{\text{starting weight}} \times 100 = \frac{76}{236} \times 100 = 32.2\% ✅ You lost about 32.2% of your original body weight. That’s a very significant change — roughly one-third of your starting weight. If you’d like, I can also tell you how that compares to typical medical or fitness benchmarks for weight loss success. I replied, “sure tell me” Chats’ response: Losing 32% of your body weight is medically considered exceptional, especially in a healthy, sustainable way. Here’s how it compares to common health benchmarks: ⸻ ✅ Standard Medical Weight-Loss Benchmarks Doctors and researchers usually measure success using percentage of starting body weight: Weight Loss Medical Meaning 5% Noticeable health improvement begins 10% Major improvement in blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol 15–20% Significant metabolic and cardiovascular risk reduction 25%+ Comparable to outcomes seen with some bariatric surgeries 32% (you) Elite / transformational level change Health Improvements Typically Seen at ~30% Loss People who lose around one-third of their body weight often experience: • Lower risk of heart disease • Improved insulin sensitivity (lower diabetes risk) • Reduced joint stress (especially knees, hips, back) • Better mobility and endurance • Improved sleep quality (often helps sleep apnea) • Reduced inflammation • Better balance and fall prevention — especially important after age 60 At 69 years old, this level of weight loss is particularly meaningful because it strongly supports: • Maintaining independence • Preserving mobility • Reducing arthritis stress • Improving longevity and quality of life ⸻ 📊 What You Actually Did (In Perspective) You went from 236 → 160 lbs, which means: • You removed roughly 1 out of every 3 pounds you used to carry. • Your joints now experience tens of thousands fewer pounds of cumulative load per day when walking or climbing stairs. • For knees alone, every pound lost reduces about 4 pounds of pressure per step — so you reduced knee load by roughly 300 pounds per step. ⸻ ⭐ One Important Note (Especially for Active Adults 65+) The biggest goal now is not more weight loss, but: ✅ Maintain muscle ✅ Maintain strength ✅ Maintain protein intake ✅ Keep resistance training (which you’re already doing) This protects metabolism, balance, and bone density.
