The standard blood test used to check electrolytes is usually called a Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) or a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP). These tests commonly measure: Sodium Potassium Chloride Bicarbonate (CO₂) Calcium (on many CMPs) Kidney function markers like creatinine and BUN Glucose A CMP includes everything in a BMP plus additional liver-related tests and proteins. If someone is specifically concerned about hydration, muscle cramps, weakness, heart rhythm issues, medication effects, or conditions affecting electrolyte balance, doctors may also order: Magnesium Phosphorus Sometimes ionized calcium or other specialized labs

Busy day cooking today. 2 pounds of liverwurst. 1 chuck roast (fire grilled but in the crockpot now) 1 large heart 2 pounds of hamburger patties 3 pounds of tablitas Hard to beat meat cooked over a wood fire

Way to go. That looks good.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Cindy, I’m sorry you are going through this cramping issue. Most of us do experience at time to time. I think getting a blood test is a good idea rather than just guessing at it. For me, I drink a lot of water and if I’m working outside all day in the heat I’ll have to take a LMNT packet or I’ll be getting cramps. Cramps are generally not so much due to sodium as much as it is a magnesium deficiency. Because we are carnivores we tend to flush out electrolytes. Some people are capable of getting what they need from their food but some can’t so we must supplement. I will put salt on my food and I also salt my water throughout the day. I also take a magnesium glycogen supplement every night before bed. Even at that I’ll sometimes get woke up in the middle of the night with a cramp and when I do I’ll take a heaping tablespoon of yellow mustard like a medicine. So far every time I do that it has alleviated the cramp.

If you’re new or struggling or just wondering if your doing carnivore right now check out Dr. Hampton’s latest video.

Ahoy meatie, congratulations on your anniversary.

I’m gonna have to try sauerkraut with eggs.

Glad to have you back brother.

Welcome me to carnivore talk daddy. Man, that’s a lot to digest. I’ve come across a few people that had some issues in the beginning but yours tops them all. As with most people who struggle in the beginning it could be that you just aren’t fat adapted yet and need to stick it out longer. You also may need to add some healthy carbs back in and transition slower. I hope you can turn this around.

For all our mothers both past and present I would like to thank you and bless you for all you have done. May God bless you all abundantly. “Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: “Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭25‬-‭31‬ ‭

This may be very true. We know that they kept flocks of sheep, goats, cattle but other than sacrifice we have no mention of why they kept these animals. I would tend to believe that other than sacrifice we probably used their hides and hair for clothing and the meat for food. I just can’t fathom the meat going to waste. We know that in the mosaic laws much of the sacrificial meat was eaten. There just isn’t any written word on it though. I’ve got a lot of questions to ask when I get to meet my Lord.

Congratulations. Apparently our caniversarys are the same.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Darren. We are here to support you in any way we can. Many people have been able to manage their high blood pressure by eating a low carb or zero carb lifestyle. I was on a blood pressure medicine due to my AFIB but after starting a strict carnivore diet I was taken off of the medication after three months because my BP had come down naturally and the medication was bringing it down too low. Now mine wasn’t real high (130’s to 140’s) but it still shows that it can be reduced. I feel for you with the hip replacements. I’ve had one that I got when I was 44. Anyways, you’ve come to the right place. Let us know how we can help you.

Positive proof that we are born carnivore…in my humble opinion of course. 😉

As a Bible believer I’m a creationist and if we look at Genesis we see something very similar to what the article is stating. When God created us we and all of creation were plant eaters. At some point in time we started eating meat but we aren’t exactly sure when. There is no specific mention of man eating meat until after the flood.

Anecdotal evidence is still evidence and can be considered a trial study. I believe that we will be seeing a lot more people having bad side effects in the future and possibly some long term life altering effects.

It’s not so weird as it is sad that we have doctors and medical professionals preaching to us about things they know nothing about. When I learned that doctors don’t actually receive any training in nutrition and how it works on the human physiology it was a real eye opener. I take their criticism about my diet with a whole new perspective. After three years of studying nutrition I believe I know more about the subject than 90% of the doctors out there. As far as the studies go I heard a doctor say that they don’t really read the studies. They look at the title page and then look at the conclusions but never actually read the studies themselves. We can get a better education from the Google School of Medicine these days that from any medical university when it comes to diet and nutrition.

Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.

I find that to be interesting. What marks the difference between either foods since they are both grain based? One processed and the other isn’t? Or is it another ingredient in the making of the bread and not just the grain? It’s not genes that cause weight gain but hormones. Insulin resistance. Glad to see that science is finally starting to catch up with what us uneducated people already know. Give it another 100 years and they might actually learn the complete truth.

Ahh but will anyone really listen?

I have been learning in my spiritual life that to denigrate someone who is made in the image of God is the same as denigrating God Himself so I’ll refrain from calling this, so called, doctor by any names other that ignorant. Which he is. He has obviously never studied the carnivore diet or ever experienced anyone who has been a long term carnivore. I noticed that he is obese and doesn’t look very healthy….i wonder why? I would love to see a debate between him and a real doctor like Dr. Ken Berry.

Last night on the livestream the subject of olive oil came up. It pays to do your research when using it.

I can relate and my son also introduced me to carnivore.

I got into an argument on quora about the MD and this guy just insisted that it was real so I asked him how long had he lived in the Mediterranean. Of course he had never been there. I let him know that I worked and lived in the Mediterranean area in Greece and Turkey and no one ate anything close to what The Mediterranean Diet proclaimed. His response was that just because I lived there it didn't mean the diet wasn’t real. Oh well, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.

Oh man, you just gave me a great idea. When I worked in Athens Greece I did my best to try and eat my weight in gyros. They were so good with Tzatziki. So now you’ve given me the idea of smoking a roast and making a chaffel sandwich with that roast and putting Tzatziki on it. I bet it would be delicious. I’ll have to see if I can find some Tzatziki seasonings on line because I’m out of what I brought back from Greece.
