Welcome to Carnivore Talk Mike. Since people with kidney disease can have trouble removing phosphorus from their blood they may need to limit their phosphorus intake. Foods that can be high in phosphorus and you might consider cutting out are , Chicken, pork, sea food, organ meats and dairy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well that’s too bad but this isn’t the first time I’ve gone through this. A bow hunting forum I’m a member of went through that mess you’re talking about. Our bow hunting site (TexasBowhunters.com) is a very big talk forum and most of us in there really liked the ease of using TT the owners of TT started pulling some shenanigans and the owners of the talk forum dropped TT and moved on. I just happened to still have the app when I found y’all. I did a search for carnivore forums one day and Carnivore Talk popped up. Been here ever since. I guess I’ll just archive Tapatalk again or maybe just delete it. I’m on just about all the forums I can handle now. I haven’t even the Ketogenic forum in months now. I like the ease of using TT but you gotta do what you gotta do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m in. Need to get back into the habit of walking again. I’ll include some light weight training and chair exercises. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Way too many factors going on to know for sure. Nursing a baby. Hormonal changes from childbirth. Hormones in general. Recovery from childbirth. Any or all could be the culprit. Woman often have trouble in the beginning of carnivore just because of their hormones. Look up Kelly Hogan on Utube. She didn’t start losing weight until she was six months on carnivore but she was in it to heal so she stuck it out and it paid off for her. My advice would be to just keep eating a proper human diet as it’s best for the baby’s nourishment and give her body more time to heal at least until she’s no longer nursing.

The reason the medical profession worries so much about your LDL level is that studies have shown a a very strong correlation between lowering your cholesterol by taking a statin and the annual pay bonuses of pharmaceutical company executives. (Cynical? Moi?)

I’ve only gotten one steakhouse to let me order ala cart and the price difference was negligible so not worth it. So now I ask who wants my sides or I’ll bring them home to my dogs or chickens.

Slow smoked pork butt for me today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now see those and smoked oysters I can still eat without crackers. I’m still putting hot sauce on them though. I can hurt myself eating oysters and raw ahi tuna fresh caught.

I got this from Dr. Jason Fung This is a normal process. When you fast, insulin levels start to drop and this triggers a surge of counter-regulatory hormones, including noradrenalin and growth hormone. This is normal, and meant to pull some of the stored sugar from the liver into the blood. If your liver is full of sugar, it may release lots of sugar into the blood, causing the blood sugar to rise. So, yes, blood sugar may rise during fasting. The most important question to consider, though, is where this sugar came from. If you are not eating, the rise in blood sugar may only come from your own body. You are simply moving sugar from the liver to the blood. It means that there is too much sugar stored inside your body and you need to empty it out, either with LCHF diet or intermittent fasting Dr. Jason Fung

We are only limited by our imagination.

Oh yea. That meat is so tender you can just shred it up for a soup or chunk it for more of a stew. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hear you about sardines. I used to like them but I always ate them with crackers but since I won’t eat crackers anymore sardines have just lost their appeal to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I can’t speak to the accuracy of that chart but I was going by what Dr. Berry says. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh I can definitely understand that. I have trouble maintaining my weight sometimes. Right now I’m 7 pounds underweight. I guess for people in our position eating dairy is probably the most nutritious way to keep weight on. I’m with you, if anyone knows a better way I’m open to suggestions.

Excellent! I make a neat stew once in awhile. I make mine with some venison roast, bone broth and butter in the crock pot for an all day cook. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So being a T1 what does fasting do to your numbers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This might be helpful to you.

As with any supplement you should find out if you are deficient first. If you don’t need it then you are just wasting money. There are many carnivores that don’t take iodine supplements because they can get all they need from their food. The whole iodine thing started back during WWI when too many draftee’s were being rejected because of goiters. That was at the big boom in the industrial revolution. Now look at their diets. They ate a lot of grains, few vegetables and any meat they ate wasn’t fresh. For the average person today they can get plenty of iodine from their food. Fresh meat has iodine, some vegetables do as well. Seafood such as salmon and sardines are a very good source as are oysters. Now if you are deficient then it’s always best to try to get it naturally through your food but if you do need to supplement then three drops in your water or one drop three times a day is a good dose according to Dr. Berry.

Good deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only supplement that will help is butter or beef fat. I don’t like pork or chicken unless I drown it in butter. There just isn’t enough of the right fats in them to satiate me. If you are experiencing cravings after eating that much meat then you definitely need to be eating more fat at your meal. Salt can also help but fat is better. That growling isn’t your stomach. It’s fluids moving through your intestines. You are highly addicted to carbs and there’s no easy easy way of doing this if you don’t have the right mindset. You have to be determined to win at all costs. Failure is not an option. When you have that kind of mindset it’s much easier to ignore the cravings. For the average person they only last 2 to 4 weeks. Hang in there. Eat plenty of fat and get tough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t drink milk since being on carnivore. I’m in the camp that believes it’s not necessary for our health. Many believe that milk is for putting on weight in babies and that adults shouldn’t be drinking it. But, before carnivore I loved drinking milk and our go to was Fairlife. 2% is junk as it’s mostly just sugar. Drink what you want and if it’s not hurting you then carry on but if you are hitting plateaus or gaining weight then that’s the first place I’d look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are welcome. I see it so often where people only think about themselves and don’t think about how their actions affect those around them. I know I’ve enjoyed your posts and you bring value to us. You should consider joining us on our weekly zoom call. We need some fresh blood in there. Thats good to know and what you are eating sounds great. The only thing I’d change, and this is just me, is I wouldn’t eat unless I’m hungry. That’s just how I like to do carnivore and it’s how I feel best. In the beginning I ate by the clock and one day it just hit me, why am I eating if I’m not hungry. True hunger is your body telling you that it needs fuel. No hunger? No fuel needed. But I have no idea how that would work for a diabetic. That’s good. Well those times are a good thing in that they teach you. Forget the mistake but remember the lesson or, nothing tastes as good as how I feel.

I have heard from many carnivores that have abstained from all sweets for a long time that the first time they eat something sweet that it is overpowering to them in the sweetness. It’ll be interesting to see how it affects you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah it’s hard to get good Mexican outside of the border states. When my son was working the oilfields up in Pennsylvania or maybe Ohio, not sure which, he came home for a visit and I told him that I’d cook something up that weekend all he had to do was tell me what he wanted. He said “Well dad, there’s two things I can’t get up north, Mexican food and barbecue. I’m going out for Mexican tonight so I could really enjoy some of your brisket and ribs”.
