Which term? Steak tartare is a French dish of finely chopped raw beef with seasonings, chopped onions, Worcestershire and often served with a raw egg yolk. It’s very good. Mett is a German dish made from finely chopped raw pork seasoned with salt and pepper served with raw onion inside a hard roll or Mettbrotchen. Parisa is a south Texas (where I’m from) treat also known as cowboy ceviche made from raw beef, onion, cheese, lime juice, jalapeño’s and spices and served with saltines. It was a And sashimi of course is raw fish. When I go tuna fishing that’s one of my favorite things to eat is thin sliced fresh caught ahi tuna. Oh, and I also make Poke out of that tuna which is a Hawaiian dish made with raw tuna.

Here is a great breakdown of the of the differences between grass finished and grain finished beef. This covers the weights, yields, costs and the different processing cuts. Very informative especially if you ever want to buy a half a beef. It’s long but very good.

Yeah I’m going through the same things. I go in for a Physical every six months. Supposedly Medicare requires it because I have had some health issues. My doc loves everything about how I’ve turned my life and health around but can only focus on the Cholesterol and statins. We have yet to have that long talk but like you I just smile and say no thank you, I’m good. I don’t know if my doctor will ever come around because he’s caught up in the mainstream medical hype but it’s funny that he threatened to send my last blood work to my cardiologist and I just told him to go ahead, my cardiologist knows I’m carnivore and completely supports me in what I’m doing because it’s reversed my heart disease.

I have on occasion but it’s almost always been in the form of some prepared dish like Steak Tartare. I’ve also eaten my share of Mett, Parisa and Sashimi. I have no problem eating meat raw but I haven’t just eaten a steak raw unless you count eating a steak blue.

That was exactly what got me started looking into this.

Yeah buddy! Thats some good eating with plenty of fat.

Yeah I get it @Terry it’s a shame that people would rather trust a doctor who is ignorant about nutrition and just swallow pills than change what they eat and know true freedom from food and medicine. You are right though. It’s not your job to tell them and they don’t care anyways. We all want to shout it from the rooftops when we first experience the benefits of this WOE but we just find ourselves preaching to the wilderness. All we can do is be a good example and when we are asked we can give our testimony.

Nothing wrong with that.

That ain’t no lie. I have a stick burner or off set smoker and I’ve been smoking my steaks and my hamburgers. I like eating them just smoked without putting a sear on them.

I’ll bet 90% of the people that heard that didn’t even know what he was talking about.

When we talk about eating enough protein some new to carnivore’s don’t realize that one gram of meat does not equal one gram of protein and so they don’t eat enough. A lot of times they mention that they are having trouble losing weight or fatigued or still have chronic conditions and often our response is to tell them to eat more but they think they are already eating eating enough by how much their meat weighs. Anyways, so I came across this chart and thought it might be helpful for some people. I also came across a protein calculator that may be of use also. https://drbillsukala.com/protein-grams-in-meat-calculator/ Here's an example of a calculation I did using ounces but it does grams as well. So as you can see that to maintain my weight I need to eat approximately 21 ounces of beef steak daily.

Carnivore paradise right there.

Sometimes it’s just me and Bob and other times there have been as many as five.

Forget the mistakes but remember the lessons. We’ve all been there and those of us who are successful are the ones who pick ourselves back up and keep on trucking. It’s all about progress over perfection. I learned my lesson years ago when I quit dipping snuff. After a long addiction to Copenhagen I quit cold turkey and was off of it for two years. I was working around a bunch of guys that dipped snuff and one evening I thought “Man, that sure would taste good. One little dip won’t hurt, I can handle it.” Boom! I was hooked all over again and probably worse than before. It was another 9 years before I’d try quitting again but this time I knew that I could never allow myself to ever touch any kind of tobacco again. I had learned my lesson. This lesson served me well when I started carnivore. I will not touch carbs because one, they serve no nutritional purpose for my body and two, if I do I’ll just be hooked again and start from scratch. It’s just not worth the effort. I’m firmly in the opinion that nothing tastes as good as how I feel. It’s great that you’ve identified your problem and know what you need to do to fix it. You’ve got this figured out. 👍

Our zoom meanings are every Monday at 7:00 pm central time. here is the link to get in on it. You’ll have to download load the Zoom app and then follow the address Bob has posted in the link.

Around 11:00 I fixed a three egg omelette with smoked lamb and Irish Swiss cheese. While that was cooking I put 6.5 pounds of fatty chuck roast in the crock pot. I knew that omelette wasn’t going to hold me all day. It turned out great.

Good luck.

This is what I’m using right now. My wife picked it up for me at one of the health food stores in my area. It’s not the cleanest in the ingredients and I’m going to see if I can find something cleaner but if not I’ll just stick with it. I was using about a one teaspoon three times a day in my water. I have different brands of salt that I use depending on what I’m doing with it. For cooking and to put in my water I use Redmonds. For certain dishes like omelets and gravies I’ll like my truffle sea salt. Very tasty. For putting on my meats I like Maldon’s Flaked Salt. It’s my favorite. Since your numbers are in the normal range then I wouldn’t worry about it and just keep doing what you’re doing as long as it’s working for you. Don’t concern yourself with asking too many questions. That’s what we’re here for, to help each other out and I’m happy to help any way I can.

I did ok. I was able to stay motivated to get moving. I was faithful to get my walking in except on really bad days. I didn’t hit the weights as often as I should have but it’ll get better as I get into a better routine. I like that idea.

Al Pastor and eggs today.

Yeah I’ve been watching him for a while now and I like how he explains things so well.

I’m just taking a magnesium Glycinate 350 mg. I don’t know for sure if it’s helping my heart or if it’s just the natural progression of this WOE but I’ve been noticing that what few palpitations that I was experiencing have diminished even more. When I first started on carnivore I was taking LMNT and then later on I switched over to KetoChow. It was the KetoChow I was on when my potassium got so high. It might have been high on the LMNT but I hadn’t gotten a blood test while on it. When people talk about taking an electrolyte supplement I like to tell them to make sure they really need it. Get a blood test done and find out if you are deficient. Potasium can also cause you to lose sodium and mine was low but after stopping KetoChow my potassium levels dropped to normal and my sodium came up to normal. My sodium always stays on the low side of normal do I liberally salt my food and even put some in my water when I’m going to be working in the hot Texas sun all day. Anytime you think you’re ready I can give you Dave’s email and Kerry’s email so you can contact them. When I did my first interview I didn’t think I really had much of a story to tell. After all, there’s so many great and miraculous stories out there in the carnivore community but I finally got the nerve up to contact Dave and I was surprised by the comments how much my story resonated with so many people. We often think that we are insignificant in this world and for the most part we may be but God will put us in a position to touch someone else’s life if we allow Him to. We have to always be ready when He does that whether it’s online or on the street. We never know who we might touch so we must always be ready with a kind word and wisdom from our Lord. Consider joining us in our weekly Zoom meanings on Monday night. It would be nice to have you join us.

Excellent Scott.

Our Lord places us where He needs us when we are in need. What magnesium are you taking. I ask because there are so many different kinds of magnesium and some are not absorbable. Be very careful of the potassium. I was taking an electrolyte supplement and about six months into my carnivore journey I had a blood test and my potassium levels were into the danger zone. Bad enough for a normal person but more so for someone who has heart disease. Too much potassium can cause the heart to stop. Dairy is a very addictive substance for me as well. I try to moderate it as much as possible but sometimes it gets the better of me and I have to take a month off of it. I will be putting you on my prayer list. May God bless you.

I can’t eat bird without lots of butter.
