Anyone who has been carnivore and studied nutrition for more that three months probably knows more about proper nutrition than 95% of the doctors out there. They get little to no training in nutrition and are just saying what they are told to say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well grasshopper, you have learned a valuable lesson. You had a pig out day and paid the price. Yes, I believe that as we progress as carnivores we do become more sensitive to not just carbohydrates but the toxins they contain. Most especially your gut biome. It went to all the trouble to change from digesting carbs all day to digesting just protein and fats and suddenly you switch gears in the middle of the race. Oh yeah, it’s gonna rebel. I’ve done some small experiments to see if I could allow some foods back into my diet but the results have shown that some are out of my life forever. Now it’s time forget the mistake but always remember the lesson. You don’t eat carnivore, you are carnivore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here ya go. Study this weekend and there will be a test on Monday. [emoji3166] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As long as you don’t have any reactions to eating pork there’s nothing wrong with eating that pork chop as long as it wasn’t breaded. After all, your eating bacon aren’t you? I think you’re doing great and your mindset is spot on. Keep up the good work. Now my weakness with pork chops was have applesauce or Apfelmus with them. That’s the German coming out in me.

Good for the last few days. An omelette with bacon and rendered fat pieces. Venison burgers with bacon fat mixed in and butter on top. Venison burger tacos tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The longer you are carnivore the more you’ll notice things like that. You’ll start paying attention to what other people put in their carts and you might even be disgusted to think that at one time you were just like them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent choice. Welcome to the group. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love hearing about the new discoveries. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A friend of mines son has MS and I’ve given him multiple things to look at such as testimonials from people with MS and there is growing consensus that carnivore can definitely help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not the least bit surprised that your neuropathy is getting better. When it comes to carnivore I’m surprised when it doesn’t help someone. I too have noticed my urge to relieve my bladder has diminished. I can hold it for much longer than before. I’m also not having to get up several times a night to go to the bathroom. That’s saying a lot considering I have and enlarged prostrate and early signs of prostrate cancer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are definitely on the right track Scott. Red meat from ruminant animals is the optimal food we can eat. Monogastric animals are ok to eat on occasion but for optimal nutrition ruminants are where it’s at. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve never experienced that. I guess I was born a carnivore but it took me 66 years to finally embrace it. I’ve always loved the fat especially when it’s been grilled a crispy brown over an open fire. My dad was the same way. When I make tallow I save the pieces that have most of the fat rendered out and will eat them as a snack when I’m wanting something between meals and sometimes I’ll mix them in my scrambled eggs. One of the best things about buying a whole rib roast and cutting your own ribeyes is you get to keep all of the fat on the steak. Most rib eyes you get at a restaurant or the store have had a very large portion of the fat trimmed off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will use tabasco on occasion as well as Louisiana Hot Sauce. Neither has sugar and the rest of the ingredients are fairly clean. But like I said. Only occasionally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have chronic constipation. I’m not one of the fortunate ones who have great BMs on carnivore. I don’t know if it’s because I had IBS for over 30 years or because I don’t have a gallbladder or maybe my liver just doesn’t function the way it should. Meat doesn’t stay in your intestinal track for months. That’s impossible. To test that out just take a laxative and you’ll see that there is not a months worth of waste in your bowels. The majority of all the meat you eat is absorbed into your body. That’s because it is so nutrient dense. According to Dr. Berry and Dr. Chaffee what we are expelling shed cells and bodily fluids. Actually, people who eat only meat tend to produce less waste, so they might find themselves pooping less or less frequently, but it isn't usually a sign of constipation. Constipation on the carnivore diet can occur for different reasons. When you switch to this diet, your body has to adapt to digesting more proteins and fats, which can be challenging and may lead to constipation. Also, there's often a significant loss of water as your body uses up stored glycogen, and this decrease in hydration can affect bowel movements. So, you need to drink enough water to prevent dehydration and constipation. The change in your diet also alters your gut bacteria. When you move from a high-carb to a low-carb diet, the types of bacteria in your gut change, which can slow down the movement of food through your intestines. Additionally, imbalances in essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium, vital for intestinal muscle function, can cause constipation. Consuming electrolyte drinks and taking supplements - after consulting a physician, of course - can help. Certain foods common in the Carnivore diet, particularly processed meats and dairy, can induce constipation, especially if you're intolerant or allergic to them. It is all because meat takes longer to digest than plant foods, so your bowel movements will probably be less frequent but regular and predictable. What I have learned to to do is eat a lot of fat. My morning beverage is bulletproof with butter and MCT oil. Then everything is cooked in tallow or bacon grease. Any meat that is lean will be slathered in butter and or the grease it was cooked in. Upping my fat intake has helped but hasn’t been a cure yet. So I was taking a magnesium citrate and that turned my stools into a peanut butter consistency. Better than constipation but far from ideal. So I’m now taking a magnesium complex supplement that has citrate in it. So far it it working ok for the most part. I’m hard but not constipated. On those occasions when I feel like I’m going to be constipated I’ll use a suppository to get things moving. It generally works within a couple of hours and doesn’t go overboard. If it was looking like it was going to be severe then I would take a tea called Smooth Move. It contains Senna. That will clean you out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve wondered for quite some time now who decided how many calories we should eat for the optimal requirements. Now I’m not a CICO kinda guy and that’s what got me to questioning this calorie thing. I heard some time ago that the RDA values that are pushed on us as what we should be getting every day for optimal health and the calorie numbers were just arbitrary numbers picked by surveys given to college students. I really started wondering when I hit my final weight and wondered if I needed to eat more to keep from losing anymore. So I did some tracking and found that my average calorie count is about 1500 per day, give or take. I feel fine but the everyone was saying that that is starvation mode. Well how can it be starvation when I feel great? I wish I could remember the podcast but I remember hearing that the average person back before the advent of processed foods generally ate a diet of about 1500 calories. As agricultural ramped up and food became more plentiful the calorie count went up and so did the expectations of how much to eat. I’m a firm believer that it’s not how many calories we consume but what food those measures of heat are made of. 2000 calories from donuts will have a remarkably different effect on your body than 2000 calories from ribeye. So anyways, I found this article that confirms what I suspected about how the numbers came to be the acceptable norm for caloric intake. https://stvincents.org/about-us/news-press/news-detail?articleId=45556&publicid=745#:~:text=The%202%2C000%2Dcalorie%20diet%20was,benchmark%20number%20for%20daily%20calories Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For me my tendons from my toes up the front of my leg will cramp up. They pull up tighter than a banjo and feel like they’re going to snap. I’ve got to guzzle water and walk it off. Hurts like heck. I’ve noticed that it happens when I’m in bed asleep after a long day of working in the heat. So I’ve taken to using some KetoChow when I know I’m going to be in the heat all day.

That’s great. It’s one moment at a time then one day at a time which becomes one week at a time and before long you’ve put a year behind you. Keep up the good and steadfast work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your seasoning could be flaking off depending on what you’ve seasoned it with. It won’t hurt you. Unless I’m taking one down to bare metal I never touch mine with any kind of metal abrasive. When I clean mine I do it immediately after I take the food out. I turn the heat up on the stove and get it really hot. In the meantime I’ve got the tap water heating up as hot as it will get. When the tap water is as hot as it will get and the pan is starting to smoke I dump the grease out and put it under the tab water and steam the food off. While it is steaming I use a wooden spatula to scrap and excess bits off. They clean up really easy. If I have some stubborn bits that I can’t scrape off with the spatula then I have a plastic scrubber I can use but I rarely need it. I then wipe the pan dry and put it back on the burner that I’ve turned off but it’s still hot and wipe it down with a thin coat of bacon grease or tallow if I know I’ll be using again in the next day or two but if I’m not going to be using that pan for awhile I’ll coat it with a little avocado oil.

Oh I get that but I’ve just never heard of have to pay out of pocket to be a part of a study. Seriously, that sounds like a scam. I’m not saying it is but if I had gotten an email from some outfit I hadn’t heard of trying to solicit me to be part of a study to study me but I had to pay them for being a part of the study I would be very skeptical. It’s sounds just like something those overseas scammers come up with all the time. Yours may be legitimate and it may make sense to you because of lack of funding but it doesn’t make sense for me to be a part of it if I have to pay. I’m already a part of a study showing how carnivore has cured my Crohn’s disease and they didn’t ask for any money from me, just my medical records from my Gastroenterologist. Like I said, I’m not accusing you of playing a scam but that’s exactly how scams sound. I hope you get what you need for a good study and I hope it makes a difference. Good luck.

I looked up the ingredients list and I was surprised that they were much cleaner that regular cheap dogs. I wouldn’t eat them at home because at home I can control my diet and I’m pretty strict but if I was away from home and there was no other option I’d have no problem eating my fill of them. They do have corn in them and the “natural flavorings” could be a hidden sugar so for that reason they would only be one of those “less bad” meats that I would eat.
