I haven’t “avoided” anything. My answer was I looked them and found nothing that bothered me. But since you are too lazy to look them up yourself I do the work for you. Xantum gum is a thickener and stabilizer. Natural flavors can are a flavor enhancer that can be derived from plants, animals or fruits. It can also have chemicals in it. In this case we don’t know what they are using for a natural flavoring. Nisin is an anti bacterial peptide used as a preservative. Nothing in that bothers me and I’ve done great eating those. Now, when are you going to answer my question, what danger zone? and you didn’t answer my Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah the strips are not very accurate because they can only measure excess ketones that are being expelled not what’s in your system or what’s being used. The meters are better but they are only measuring what’s in your blood stream at that particular time. Useful but only to a degree. My energy levels were very good. In fact my energy levels help me want to do more and when doing more I didn’t get hungry so it worked well for me. I had to break my fast today though. I was getting light headed and almost passed out a couple of times. I was doing some work that required a bunch of bending over and getting back up it really hot to me. The blood just wasn’t getting to my head quick enough when I straightened up. Actually hit my knees one time. I figured it was time to eat something.

It’s the ketones. It’s the only energy source you have now. I’m on the back end of a 48 hour fast. I haven’t decided if I want to go 72 hours yet or not. I’ll just play it by ear and see how I feel tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with him on eating mushrooms. They are not necessary for proper nutrition and add nothing beneficial to the body. Someone eating a keto diet can eat them if they choose because keto is all about the carb counting so as long as go over the carb limit they are ok. As a carnivore I will not eat vegetables because they provide nothing nutritional or bio available for my body. I can get all of the nutrition I need from meat. I will on occasion though indulge in one fruit and that’s jalapeños. Gotta have my bacon wrapped poppers every once in awhile. My only cheat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From a carnivore standpoint you are correct. I like mushrooms but I won’t eat them anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it contains histamines but if you don’t have a histamine intolerance it’s no big deal. Histamine intolerance may be the result of a gut flora imbalance? One of the things that carnivore helps is realigning of our gut biome. So given time those with an intolerance may be able to slowly reintroduce histamine foods back into their diet. Those that have a histamine intolerance find that many foods can cause a reaction m. Chicken, pork and aged beef can be bothersome to those who are intolerant. I’m fortunate that I don’t have a histamine intolerance so I can eat anything and I use a lot of bone broth in my diet. It is packed with so many nutrients that it would be a shame to have to give it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What danger zone are you talking about? Actually I looked all that up and I’m in no danger zone. I have been extremely successful eating as a carnivore. I have cured or reversed over 16 different things in my body including reversing heart disease and getting off all medications. Cured Crohn’s disease and IBS. I’ve gone from 225 pounds down to 162 pounds and I’m maintaining that with no issues. Whereas I couldn’t walk 100 yards unsupported I am now walking 5 miles briskly with no effort. Yeah, I think I’m doing just fine. lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is true but as I stated before when we only eat fat and meat it changes our or bodies smell. I’m not saying that we won’t stink at all given enough time but it is amazing that our odor completely changes. If I forget to put on deodorant for the day it’s no big deal. No BO but I wouldn’t go any longer than that. Lol. Now tomorrow with be the end of my two week experiment with just rinsing my hair under water a massaging my scalp and so far it’s been a surprising success. My hair is not greasy at all. It’s soft and looks clean. My scalp feels great and has no smell whatsoever. I’ll wash it tomorrow but I may try for three weeks next time. I just wonder if my water could be making a difference? I’m on a well and I have a soft water system. I’d be curious to hear the results from someone who is on city water ghats not filtered or soft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bacon is meat candy. I am not a Jew under rabbinical law so I can eat whatever I want thank God for the new covenant. There are too many forbidden foods that I eat that wouldn’t be allowed as a Jew. 1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; 5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

Quit coffee and went to tea after starting carnivore 660 days ago and then a year ago I quit tea. It’s amazing that it’s easy to get up in the morning and not need a stimulant to get going. It’s really freeing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cream cheese is good on bacon as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Foolishness and ignorance has nothing to do with it. It takes a pretty ignorant mind to think that way. It boils down to equipment and preferences. I don’t own a dehydrator and don’t have plans to buy one anytime soon. I hate crispy bacon. I much prefer mine chewy and not overcooked. I haven’t tried dehydrated bacon jerky but if I had a dehydrator I’d certainly give it a try. If it’s anything like oven bacon I’m sure I’d hate it. Oven bacon was how they cooked it in the Army and I couldn’t stand it. I’ll stick with pan frying mine. It comes out chewy and has a great flavor fried in its own fat.

Actually that sounds like something worth looking into. Thanks for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh my GP loves my results but he hates the fact that I eat a high fat diet. He sees the good results of my blood work but focuses on the (supposedly) high LDL. He just can’t get past the LDL to see how carnivore has benefited me. On the other hand, my cardiologist loves everything about what I’m doing and supports me. Go figure.

Yes they are store bought. Here is the nutrition label and ingredient list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hasn’t been my experience so far but I only go a week or two without washing it with soap. No denial here. I can guarantee that if my head was stinky my wife wouldn’t hesitate to tell me. lol. One of the great benefits of carnivore that many aren’t aware of is that eating a diet free of carbohydrates and the poisonous highly processed foods our body’s bacteria changes and we don’t stink like we used to. It’s been a game changer for me. The fewer chemicals we put on our bodies the better for our health. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We generally go to a nice steak house at least once a year. I don’t know what you have up there but down here Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse is always top notch and then I have a really nice one in my small town. My absolute favorite though is Texas de Brazil which is a Brazilian steak house. All meat all the time as much as you want and cooked to perfection over an open fire. It doesn’t matter whether I’m at a cafe in town or the fanciest restaurant in town I’ve never had any of them try to push the sides on me. At the most the server might ask what sides I want but they have never tried to push them on me. When the server comes to take my order I simply order my steak rare and say no sides please. Most times the server just repeats my order back to me and then moves on to the next order. Occasionally they will ask are you sure you don’t want anything else but they never try to push anything on me. It no big deal to just order what you want and just say no to those things you don’t want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take that idea and run with it. Become the next Zuckerberg. I would imagine it’s tough these days if you’re young, fairly heathy and dating but I don’t see why that would interfere with eating properly. I go out to eat pretty regularly and have zero problems eating carnivore and how I eat has never been an issue with anyone in with. For me it’s all about my commitment to my health. No woman is worth wrecking my health over. Not even my wife tells me how to eat. Even if you do feel pressured to eat off plan you don’t have to go overboard. Like John said eat keto.

Early man got most of his minerals from drinking from flowing streams but today all of our water is filtered so we have to supplement. Sodium is an essential mineral and we used to follow the animals to find the salt licks as they would travel for miles to get salt. Before refrigeration we heavily salted our foods to preserve them. Now in modern times our processed foods are loaded with sodium. So throughout the ages man has always obtained sodium. It’s rather instinctive for us to want it. Our issue today as carnivores is that sodium excretion is faster on carnivore, because reducing insulin allows the kidneys to return to their normal rate of excretion, so we advise increasing salt intake a bit on carnivore. Since we are no longer eating those processed foods anymore and flushing our fluids out at a higher rate we get deficient. A couple of recent studies have documented that the healthiest sodium intake is 4-6 g/day, which translates to 10-15 g/day of table salt, including the salt already present in our food.

During the zoom meaning the other night I mentioned that I was going to the doctor because I had a hard knot on my throat under my jaw. So after X-rays with imaging it turns out to be an “acute inflamed salivary gland”. I wonder why that happened? Anyways, the doc ran some blood tests and the only bad markers involved the infection going on in my system. Everything else looked good just as it should be as carnivore. The xray also showed a nodule on one of my lungs but since I don’t have a history with cancer he’s not worried about it. Although I haven’t had an official diagnosis of prostrate cancer I am being monitored for it but I guess that doesn’t count. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is what I do as well. I started to just wash my hair just once a week but now I’m going two weeks. My hair is doing great. Never looks oily and looks good. That’s what I’m using now. I ran out last week and so I used some of my old toothpaste and it was horrible and burned. I have forgotten deodorant a couple of times and I’ve been really surprised that I didn’t smell like a goat so I experimented for three days am I could detect a little odor but not much. I don’t use a chemical laden deodorant but instead a natural deodorant and it works well for me.

Yeah… I don’t know. I suppose the vinegar could have something to do with that but otherwise it’s just dried meat.
