Geezy

I don’t think that’s high at all for what you are getting. We raise our own but we have to count in the feed that goes into them. My wife keeps track of that but I don’t want to know what it is, 🙈Ain’t none of it cheap but like you said, you know what you’re getting. I eat more than a pound a day so that would last me a year.

You should tell your story. There are others out there that could probably benefit from it

It really boils down to what the body can tolerate or what your mindset is. Many people will reintroduce certain things one at a time to see how it affects them. If there’s a change then they know it’s forever banned but if their body doesn’t react then they can keep it. My only indulgence is jalapenos. I love jalapeno poppers and will eat a few a couple of times a year. They don’t bother me but I don’t eat them very often either. I’ve also reintroduced some seasonings but again , sparingly. For me it’s all about the mindset. I’m 99% pure because I came from a really bad place and have no desire to ever go back there again. I want nothing but nutritious food going into my body. I don’t see the point of eating something that my body doesn’t need on a regular basis. We all have different physiology’s with different needs so we have to follow our own path in this journey.

You don’t need the book, you just need to listen to yourself, lol! You really have a complete understanding of how this works. The book does sound like it does a good job of putting things in perspective.

Yes my name is Geoff. I'm wondering if your doctor took you off of the metoprolol too soon. Mine took me off of it because my BP was getting dangerously low but it’s my understanding that it’s best to slowly ween off of heart meds. You might need to start taking a half dose or a full dose every other day. I was taking a full dose aspirin every evening before I went to bed but I’ve stopped taking it as well. You might look into taking a magnesium supplement such as Magnesium Glutamine. Magnesium is very beneficial for the heart. Yes I do dairy but limited. I go through about a stick a day of butter and I’ll have heaping tablespoon of my homemade yogurt everyday. On the rare occasions when I eat cheese I try to make sure it’s made from whole milk.

Great job Merlin.

Keep us updated on what your doc has to say Thomas.

I quit coffee and went to tea and then about a year ago I quit the tea. Turns out I never really needed it. I wake up just fine now with no stimulants.

Good job Thomas. It was great meeting you tonight. Hope to see more of you on the Zoom calls.

If anyone is interested I did an interview with Kerry Mann the other day.

Yeah and that’s why I don’t do competition. It’s two different ways of cooking. Competition doesn’t want melt in your mouth brisket or fall off the bone ribs but that’s how I cook mine and nobody that I’ve ever come across thinks competition style is any good.

Yes I was. Yeah my story is getting redundant. 😂

Welcome to our little tribe Marine. Wow, I’m humbled that my interview with Kerry may help with your family. I pray it does. It’s great that your wife joined you in carnivore. That makes everything so much easier. Gaining weight can be a tough one on carnivore for the very reason you mentioned and that’s appetite. It’s hard to eat when you just aren’t hungry. Have you been slim most of your life? For some people gaining weight is difficult even if they eat a bunch of carbs. I’ve never had that problem myself. Now I don’t know how you eat but the best way I know of for gaining weight is to eat plenty of dairy. I know I have to be careful of how much I eat of it. Then hitting the weights and putting on muscle. That’s what I’m doing right now because I’m struggling to add a little back after losing about 10 pounds too much. But there’s also the theory that when we eat a proper human diet our bodies will settle into their optimal weight so maybe I’m where I’m supposed to be, who knows. Your blood clotting issue is really strange, especially in your fingers. I have one finger with a circulation issue similar to that but mine is due to an injury years ago. HEB? Are you in Texas? Thank you for your service Marine and welcome home. My brother was over in Nam back in 67-68 at Tonsonute. My dad was there in 68-69 at Nah Trang. I was in basic training when it officially came to an end.

Smoked a lamb quarter today. Absolutely delicious.

Trust me, those are Tablitas. They are a Mexican dish well known in Texas and they are not beef but pork cross cut ribs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perfectly normal as a carnivore. Because what eat is so nutritious and bioavailable most of what we eat is absorbed or utilized by our body. The only reason we defecated so much when we ate the SAD was because most of what we ate, such as fiber, couldn’t be used by our bodies so it was just expelled. If you experience loose bowels in the beginning it’s usually because your gut biome is trying to adapt to digesting a diet of only fat and protein. After a month or so it should straighten itself out. If you just aren’t going as frequently it doesn’t mean it’s constipation unless you have a strong urge to go but you just can’t get anything to come out and when it does it’s hard and gravely. Bob just released an excellent video on this very thing.

3 oz of ribeye probably has most of the fat trimmed of do you probably would need to add some butter to that but 3 ounces of ribeye is missing a whole lot more than just fat…it’s also missing 13 other ounces of ribeye. lol.

I’m an Afiber. Bob here did an interview with me about how carnivore has helped to reverse my heart disease. 2 months in on carnivore my cardiologist took me off of Metropolol because my diet had brought my BP down to normal levels but the drug was bringing me down too low artificially. Six months later he took me off of my other heart med, Flecinide, and said he only wants to see me once a year now. I rarely have and heart palpitations or PVC’s anymore. I have been a carnivore for 691 days.

I saw that and it was great. I hope it starts a public dialogue.

This is true. The body will produce all of the glucose it needs for proper function, at any given time there are 4 grams of sugar or 4 grams of glucose or 1 little teaspoon dissolved in your blood at any given moment and that’s where your body wants to be. That is your homeostasis level. You are not off the mark, you are spot on. Fat is the primary part of our way of eating. It is our foundation.

Cooked up 15 pounds of tablitas today. One of my favorite things to eat.

According to what you listed as your food it’s obvious that you are eating carbs. That will certainly raise your numbers. Your numbers can also vary throughout the day from what I understand. I personally have never tested anything and don’t see the need to since I’m not a diabetic and I feel great.

Aww heck no! Nothing causes me to lose my appetite quicker than to bite into an eggshell. One crunch and that meal is over, finished, kaput, done.

Naw just eating good in the hood. I went light today and only ate one pound of venison burger. Just had too much work to do to eat much more.
