Well I’m over a month now with no dairy and while I think I’ve it whooped a little twinge still crops up now and then. I finished a fresh batch of my homemade yogurt today and it my was extremely temping to dive it but I was able to resist without too much trouble. I keep thinking that I want to make an omelet until I realize that oh, yeah, I don’t eat cheese anymore. So I think it’s not so much a craving anymore but a habit and a remembrance of how much I like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t get the boring thing. I’ve never gotten bored eating this way but I think it’s because I do cook a lot of different meats in a lot of different ways so I’ve got a lot of variety. We are only limited by our imagination. I’m an old fart so the whole dating scene these days is nuts but I can tell you this, there is no woman worth me wrecking my health over. My bride and I have been together for 42 years but I wouldn’t change my diet for her or anyone else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Carnivore pancakes and eggs. Then some slow cooked chuck roast swimming in fat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah just keep that heat turned down to as slow a simmer as you can. You could also pressure cook it but I don’t think it renders as well that way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that’s a bunch of bovine excrement. You don’t created stones from just a few months on Carni or any other diet for that matter. He had those stones for years from eating oxalate rich foods. What can happen on carnivore is that kidney stones that are already present can shrink and then slip down the urinary tract. Everyone is always trying to bash the carnivore lifestyle with fear mongering, false science and just plain ignorance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s cool and I hope it works for you but the science and the millions of carnivores around the world have proven that eating a high fat diet does allow you to also burn body fat. I’m not saying don’t move. I’m just saying it isn’t necessary to lose weight. You can’t out run your diet. You will find that your energy level will go up making you want to move move more but your weight loss will be more attributed to what you eat rather than how much you move. Sure by moving more you will burn more energy and that can help but If a person eating SAD ran a mile every day he’d lose a little but it wouldn’t be a significant amount. That’s been proven many times. That’s why every weight loss plan that requires exercise also requires changing the diet. It’s not the exercise so much as the diet. I’m not a big believer in CICO simply because a calorie is nothing more that a measurement of heat energy created when you burn something in a calorimeter. Completely useless measure as we do not burn our food, we process it chemically… completely different processes and outcomes. Folks lose weight/fat on carnivore because they cut carbs from their diets, not because they cut calories. In fact, you can lose weight/fat on carnivore even when you increase the total calories you eat because (1) carbs turn into glucose (in fact they are glucose) which if not burned immediately for energy get stored for future energy as fat by insulin. (2) Eating fat increases your metabolic rate of energy consumption. Because eating fat does not increase insulin,stored fat is free to leave adipose storage to be used as fuel. On carnivore it will be used as fuel because by restricting carbs it’s the only fuel available. So what it boils down to is the quality of the food we eat and what it does to our body. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for you trying this. It may work for you and if it does then it just proves what we always say and that is we are all different and there’s no set rules to this way of eating. We all have to find what works for us as individuals. I looking forward to your N of 1 results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How often are you eating? Most carnivores end up eating just once or twice a day because we only eat when we are hungry. These days there is no way I could eat by the clock again. I’d have to force myself to eat. As Bob said you are satiated. That’s a good thing because it tells me you are eating right. The other thing is and I’m just guessing here is that it could be that you are burning up fat stores more than burning off what you are you’re eating and so your hunger signals are being suppressed. When our bodies are running off of ketones we just don’t get hungry like we used to. When we ate carbs all of the time we could never get completely satisfied and had to eat every couple of hours but now we can go much longer and even when we do get hungry it’s just not as intense.

Long past that stage for me. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve eaten my fair share. Steak tartare, Mett, Parisa, Sushi, Sashimi, Ceviche and Poke. I enjoy them all. I like my steaks cooked blue to rare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome to Carnivore Talk John the Skeptic. Glad to have you aboard. I think it’s a very good defense mechanism to be skeptical. It can help you from getting scammed and makes you want to do your own research. We have another T1 diabetic on here that new to carnivore and I believe you could be a big help to him.

Well my spam has certainly slowed down. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t know why you are getting away with it but hey, if it’s working for you then carry on man. I just know I’m not going to chance it. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a man so I don’t use anything. I’ve seen where many women are using skin care products made from tallow and a quick google search came up with a bunch of them. I imagine Amazon has plenty as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After about 7 hours it rendered down nicely. Straining out the tallow from the rendered fat. Filling the mason jars. Finished product. 5 pounds of solid fat finished out to 3.5 jars of liquid hold and two bags of rendered fat bites. The fat bites are great snacks if a craving hits and I really like mixing a few in with scrambled eggs for some added flavor and fat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. The whole idea is to get a bunch of rendered fat for cooking. It’s a lot easier to just spoon a little tallow into a pan for frying eggs that waiting for a few fat chunks to render down in the skillet so I can cook. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s absolutely incredible that some people would rather be miserable and die young rather than just change their diet. I’ve encountered this exact thing myself with someone who was so miserable they talked of self elimination but when I suggested a diet change their response was that they couldn’t give up their hamburgers. Oh well, thats when you drop the subject and move on and leave them to their misery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you’ve lost 91 pounds? I take it that’s since starting carnivore and not from the fast [emoji15] [emoji13]. It’s fantastic either way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s tallow making time again. Picked up 5 pounds of Wagyu fat for tallow. Cutting it up into bite sized pieces. I noticed that this fat has a different texture that the beef fat I normally use. It’s crumbly. In the pot with about a 1/4 cup of water to keep it from sticking initially. The water will cook off. Coming along nicely. Keeping the temp low between 200° and 250°. It’s a slow process so gotta stir it ever half hour or so. Further updates coming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point Bob, I forgot about that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need to do what works best for you but the whole foundation of carnivore is high fat and moderate protein. If you don’t eat the fat you will have no energy. We only get energy from two sources, glucose or ketones. If you have no carbs in your system then your only energy source will be ketones and we get those from fat. On top of that, eating too much protein can cause us to go into Gluconeogenesis and our body will start producing glucose from the protein. The common eating strategy in carnivore is to eat until comfortably stuffed or until the food just doesn’t taste good anymore. It’s the fat that turns on the leptin hormone that tells us we are full glucose blocks the leptin hormone so we stay hungry. That’s something that was debunked long ago. It’s a myth. We lose weight because our body no longer uses glucose for fuel. Glucose raises insulin and insulin is the fat storage hormone so as the insulin goes up you are incapable of burning fat. You eat carbs, that raises insulin, you’re going to store fat. Your insulin must come down before your body can access your fat stores. What unlocks those fat stores is your body needing to run on ketones. Ask Bob about sitting in a chair for a long time with a broken ankle and still losing weight. Then there’s me. I’m not very active, especially during the winter but I lose weight simply by eating plenty of fat and protein. I dropped 63 pounds and did nothing different except how I ate. Everything else you listed sounds good to me but just be careful of those I commented on. They go against conventional carnivore science. Of course everyone is different with different physiology’s so maybe that may be the best path for you. We all have our own journey to follow. There are no set rules to eating a carnivore lifestyle because of everyone’s differences. We do however have a foundation that we start with and then build our WOE from there. That foundation is to eat a diet of 70% fat (in caloric measures) and 30% protein. Eat only animal fats. Animal proteins, salt and water. Eat only when hungry and then eat until comfortably full or until the meat no longer tastes good. A good book to read that explains it well is The Carnivore Diet by Dr. Shawn Baker. I hope you find the path that works best for you.
