    Sounds like a fun hunt. I haven’t had moose meat since I lived in Alaska back in the 60’s.

    Welcome to carnivore talk LoFo. as Bob said you are just in the beginning and yes, the majority of us, those that just go in cold turkey, experience these things. Your gut biome has had a lifetime of eating bad foods and now must switch over from digesting and utilizing crap food to digesting real nutrient dense food. It’s a transition that takes time. In some animals it can kill them but fortunately humans are more resilient. Your fatigue is due to your transition as well. Your body has been running on glucose for its whole existence and now it must change over to burning fat for fuel. For some people that switch turns on very quickly and for others, myself included, it can take some time. There’s no magic tricks to this. We all have different physiologies so this affects us all differently. Just keep eating a high fat, moderate protein diet with plenty of salt and water. Just make sure you are eating enough. I personally don’t eat by the clock. I eat when I’m hungry. That may be once a day or on some occasions twice a day but never three times a day. I eat until I’m comfortably full. One meal will generally hold me for 24 hours. My last bit of advice would be to stop eating dairy as a meal. While dairy is considered carnivore in that it’s an animal product it does contain carbs and sugars. If it’s made from skim or low fat then it’s nothing but sugar. Read your labels on everything, it’s very important. If you must eat dairy then the conventional wisdom from the popular carnivore doctors is to only use it as a condiment, such as a slice of cheese on your burger or some butter in your coffee. I know this is something that I struggle with as I love dairy but I love it because it’s addictive. I’m in the process of breaking that addiction. I hope this helps and know that you are not alone. We’ve been there, done that and we are here to help you through this.

    We like to refer to that as weight optimization. When eating a proper diet our bodies will put us where we need to be. We just need to give it time to do its thing.

    I can’t do the pepper as it’s too inflammatory but the bleu cheese in butter is the bomb on steaks.

    With this being winter we don’t normally encounter allergy symptoms around here. That more of a springtime thing. Prior to starting carnivore my eyes watered all the time. My nose ran constantly and in the spring my eyes would itch really bad. I kept medicine on hand for that. After being in carnivore for a while my eyes dried up. They stopped itching. My nose dried up about 80%. Now it only runs when it’s cold. Your recent illness could very well be what’s happening but it could also have something to do with oxalate dumping.

    Nice thick venison steak.

    No. I sometimes don’t have a BM for 10-14 days. If you are eating zero carb then you have very little waste to move through your system. Get out of that old mindset that I have to take a dump everyday. That world is over. If you just aren’t experiencing an urge to go then there’s just nothing there. If on the other hand you are feeling like you have to go but you’re stopped up or you are trying to push gravel then you are constipated. In that case you could start taking a magnesium citrate supplement. That will soften your stool. You could take a laxative but i hate the chemical stuff. I have an herbal tea I keep on hand called Smooth Move. It work really well. I felt with true constipation for about a year on carnivore. I think it was due to the fact that I don’t have a gallbladder but it eventually worked itself out as my body adjusted.

    I can understand where someone can see it that way. I don’t agree with everything he says but when he states something as fact he can usually back up his claims. I personally think that Chaffee and Baker and some of the others can be a little wishy washy in what they say because they don’t want to offend some people. I appreciate his being resolute in his approach. I just have to go by my experience in following Dr. Barry’s advice because it’s been 95% spot on for me.
  10. Geezy
    Seriously? Dr. Barry is one of the most liberal people on the internet when it comes to carnivore. He is very understanding and not the least bit dogmatic. Even his wife is not carnivore. He’s definitely a live and let live kind of guy. The point he was trying to make is to simply eat what you can afford to eat and if that’s your only meat source then it’s better than the alternatives. You can’t get any less black and white than that , lol. If you can only afford to eat burger or mince then maybe you could get a meat grinder and make your own mince. That might be the cheapest way and you’d know exactly what’s in it.
  11. Geezy
    That would be sacrilegious.
  12. Geezy
    Not to worry. As Dr. Ken Barry says, eat what you can afford to eat as long as it’s meat. If all you can afford is hotdogs and lunchmeat it’s still better than highly processed junk and vegetables.

    Here we like to use blood trackers for finding game. This is my blood tracker. She loves her job. Has a very strong prey drive and one of the best noses I’ve seen.

    No doubt about it. As carnivores they are no different than us. I’ve seen a tremendous difference in my older dog, Great Dane and American Bulldog Cross. He’s 12 years old and was getting around pretty poorly until we put him on a meat and fat diet. Within 3 months he was moving around pain free and playing with the younger dogs.

    As much as I dislike the cold that looks beautiful.

    It’s impossible to get away from it. All we can do is limit our exposure. I store most food in glass containers but the lids are plastic. I no longer use a plastic cutting board. I drink out of glass or metal containers as much as possible. When it comes to sou vide I think it’s become popular to use silicone bags.

    Good meal on a cold day.
  18. Geezy
    Just like us, dogs need to eat a species specific diet.
  19. Geezy
    Oh but they are my friend, they are.
  20. Geezy
    I haven’t but only because i haven’t had any issues with pork or chicken. My system is only sensitive to vegetables and sugar. Many people do have issues with the monogastrics and have to stay away from them. Skin issues can also be attributed to eggs or more specifically the egg whites do that may be something else to look at.

    We call that bulletproof coffee I’ve here. It’s food stuff for coffee drinkers. I blend butter into my hot bone broth for my morning drink.
  22. Geezy
    Good looking pup.
  23. Geezy
    I remember watching that awhile back. I haven’t had a gallbladder since 97.
  24. Geezy
    That is absolutely correct.

    Nothing we don’t already know but still a good video.
