My blood pressure is slowly rising
The AHA and Harvard are both funded by the big food industry as well as big pharma. Definitely not a good resource for anything. No, not carnivores normal but normal in general. It has always been that way as long as I can remember. When I studied medicine back in the 70’s and nothing has changed. I have been 120/80 all of my life except for that period in my life when I was sick and fat. Then it was around 135/ 90 and even though that is elevated not one time did any doctors ever try to put me on medication. It just wasn’t that big a deal…yet. You don’t really start getting into the danger zone until you hit the 140’s. The big emphasis these days about high BP comes from the same place as high cholesterol and that’s the people making the most profits off of selling you a drug to “fix it”. I’m not discounting the dangers of high BP I’m just saying that being at 120/80 is absolutely nothing to fear. If you can get it lower that’s great. As low as you can go and still function is probably ideal. Nor has it been proven. The biggest reasons we inject plenty of salt in the carnivore lifestyle is that we are no longer eating a bunch of processed foods that are loaded with sodium. We no longer have any fiber in our bodies retaining sodium and as such we tend to flush out sodium as well as other minerals from our bodies. We can use more sodium than non carnivores so the AHA guidelines are no good for us. With everyone being different with different physiology’s it’s hard to say what might work for you but the average person lowered their BP just by eating a pure carnivore diet. You may be one of those that doesn’t respond the same way. You might want to get a blood test to see what your sodium, potassium and magnesium levels are. If you are deficient in any of those it might help if you ate foods that could bring them up or take a supplement.

New to group and fairly new carnivore woe
Welcome Lala. As Scott said we are all individuals so don’t judge yourself against anyone else who eats this way. Being female you have a disadvantage because of your hormones. Sorry but that’s just how it is. But persistence and determination will see you there eventually. I like to use Kelly Hogan as an example. She didn’t lose weight for six months. The thing is, she realized that this is not a weight loss diet. It’s a lifestyle way of eating to heal the metabolism. She was also willing to experiment to find what worked best for her. She does on line counseling that may be beneficial for you. From your description it sounds like you are eating ok but maybe not enough. I’d starve only eating a couple of eggs and three strips of bacon at one meal. That doesn’t even whet my appetite. I just finished eating my one meal for the day of 16 oz of smoked lamb with a half a stick of butter and I’m not satisfied yet. I’ll be getting some more lamb in just a minute and if that isn’t enough I’ll probably cook up 4-6 eggs. If you don’t eat enough your body can go into starvation mode and refuse to use any stored fat. If you aren’t eating enough fat and too much protein your body can create its own glucose and use it first for energy instead of stored fat. If you haven’t already I would get the book The Carnivore Diet by Dr. Shawn Baker in book form or Audible. He does a really good job of explaining everything you need to know to do this correctly and why we should eat this way. Good luck and good health

My blood pressure is slowly rising
So it only took you four years for your BP to become normal then. It sounds like you are eating right and living right so I can’t see anything wrong there. As long as your BP is normal I wouldn’t concern myself with it. I definitely wouldn’t consider quitting the best human diet there is My BP came down when I started carnivore and I’m at 120/80 all of the time now

Yeah pizza day was special even though in reality it wasn’t really all that good a pizza but a day of bad pizza is still better than a day of no pizza. (Stolen and paraphrased from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Road to carnivore
A good breakdown but I disagree with his last statement that fruits and vegetables can mitigate the effects of ultra processed foods. I would argue that they can help exasperate it.

Autoimmune, new to carnivore needing direction
The best starter book in my opinion is The Carnivore Diet by Dr. Shawn Baker. It’s easy to read and he covers all the basics on how to get started and how it all works in your body.

I hear you. I graduated in 74. I remember well the bad lunches we had back then. In our cafeteria we had the regular serving line and a snack bar. I hit that snack bar everyday eating a burger and chips. My kids never ate a school lunch. My wife always packed them a lunch.

I haven’t come across this guy. I’m very limited to what I can do due to too many injuries and surgeries. I do what I can though.

Road to carnivore
Good way of looking at it. This is about you and nobody else. This is your journey so don’t let anyone else make you ever feel inferior for what you are doing. You’re not doing this for them. I’m glad you found that channel to help you over that. You’ve always got us to come to as well now. We are here for you.

Road to carnivore
She is spot on. I don’t see carnivore as extreme, it’s just basic.

Lol! I’ve told my wife that if I ever have to stay in a hospital again she’s going to be kept busy bringing me food because I never intend to eat that junk they call food in a hospital again.

For you coffee drinkers out there.
After I quit drinking coffee and then tea I would drink a cup of hot bone broth with a tablespoon of butter whipped into it for a morning drink.

Yeah unfortunately Kent isn’t carnivore but I get a kick out of him. I’ve never had the pleasure of eating from his chuck wagon back when I was cowboying but I’ve never walked away from other cuck wagons hungry.

Thanks buddy.

Nighttime Leg Cramps
That’s odd because that’s usually the first thing carnivores report in just a few weeks. I’m glad you found what works for you.

Carnivore stops snoring as well. It cured my sleep apnea.
