Geezy

This is such a shame on several levels but there are lessons to be learned that go both ways.

Scott you have reached what I would call nirvana of carnivore. The things that you used to love no longer appeal to you. That’s called freedom.

When I have a deer processed I’ll get some German sausage made with jalapeño and cheese. Good stuff.

Venison Sumer sausage and cheese omelette.

“He spoke another parable to them, ‘The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened’” (Matthew 13:33). Small things often have a great influence, which is the point of Jesus’ parable here. If you have ever made bread, especially a sourdough bread you can use the starter over and over to make new bread and never run out. It is said that the best sourdough bread is still using the same stater from over a hundred years ago. So what influence do you have as a carnivore? People tend to watch each other and are easily influenced by what they see, so be a good influence to those around you. Be that leavening that causes others to grow and spread the carnivore community so that they may experience what you have experienced. During this time of year we often gather with many friends and family and you can have a positive influence on those around you as they witness what carnivore has done in your life. That influence can also be negative as well as positive during the holidays. Will they see you succeed with commitment, determination and discipline or will they perceive that you have failed in your WOE as you indulge in sweets and carbs? We know that a few dalliances into the carb world is not that big a deal and can be fun and that some can easily transition back and forth with no issues but just be aware that if you proclaim the power of eating a proper human diet and then eat the opposite way during times of temptation it can have a negative influence on those around you. Try to be the leavening that expands and grows our community, it will be worth it in the end.

Good eatin right there. I’ve got some pickled quail eggs in my fridge myself.

We have one here in town but I’ve never been in it. I went to one once, years ago, and it was required that I rent the shopping cart for a quarter. Someone at the store told me I’d get my quarter back but I told them “You don’t understand, I don’t care about the quarter, it’s that I don’t carry any money on me.” I haven’t been in one since.

It good and very important that you read the labels on anything you buy. At least over in the UK your labels are more trustworthy than ours are. Keep us posted on your progress and don’t hesitate to ask for help. We’re here to support you.

While not really carnivore those look really good for those who are keto. The author of that doesn’t quit understand carnivore.

Welcome Tom. We are glad to have you here. I had to look up what rusk was and apparently it’s a hard, dry biscuit. I’m sorry they use that where you live but here in the states the majority of all burger patties sold commercially in restaurants and fast food joints are 100% beef with no fillers. The worst thing we might have to deal with is the patties being cooked in seed oils. The majority of the carnivores I come across make their own burger patties and only occasionally eat them from a restaurant. I’ve only done it once when on a road trip. If you are not sure of the purity of what you are eating then by all means cook your own.

Fried up some venison steaks tonight.

Hang in there Valerie. Plan ahead to succeed and have precooked meats on hand for those times when you just don’t feel like cooking. Be determined to succeed and you will.

Here we call those Tablitas. I call them bone in bacon. 😋 Best when cooked over a wood fire.

ok, how about in a couple of days I tease you with some trout?

Thanks Curt.

Ate twice today. First meal was eggs and venison sausages. Then this evening fried catfish. Blue cats to be exact.

That’s my kind of food pyramid. 👍

It sounds like you need to be your N of 1 so try something for a few weeks to a month and keep a journal on what you’re doing and what you experience. If something isn’t working then drop that and try something else. It’s best to start with a baseline of just fat, meat, salt and water and then add or subtract as needed to find what the issue may be. First things first though, make sure you are eating enough food because often when we see low energy or recovery it’s because we aren’t eating enough which is easy to do on carnivore. Good luck, I hope you get it figured out soon.

I do like some Korean bbq.

It’s a journey stay strong and be committed. Why are you doing carnivore? It’s important to know your motivation. We are here to support you in any way we can so lean on us as you need to. To help with the cravings do not restrict what you eat. If you are craving eat more fatty meat. Keep some meat such as bacon or burger patties or strips of steaks cooked up and in the fridge for a quick snack if you need to suppress a craving. At this point don’t worry about how much you eat. Just get past the addiction and then we can focus on the amount.

That looks good Curt.

Eating a high fat moderate protein diet generally drives triglycerides down. a good place to start is by getting 70% of your calories from fat and 30% from protein. The only factor I’ve heard about cook meat is that it’s less nutritious but that’s a very nominal thing. I don’t see how that could be possible whe salt is a mainstay of this diet. The body needs sodium and as long as salt is tasting good to you then you need to use it. I just caution against normal table salt since most of it contains sugar. Me and nearly every carnivore I know would have been in trouble long ago if salt were an issue with utilizing fat. There has definitely been a depletion of iodine and some people may need to supplement. I personally don’t because I only supplement when I need to fix or control a specific issue. I don’t believe in supplementing unless you have a specific issue that needs it. If you are metabolically healthy you should be able to get what you need from your diet. Of course we are all different with different needs.

I love a good story. Great results and positive influence. The weight fluctuations are perfectly normal and if you are building muscle it may even go up as you trim down. Im so happy you are doing so well. Keep up the good work and I hope your wife benefits equally well.

Venison sausage from the last deer I took. It’ll be a week or so before I can start in on this one.

You are smokin bro. Before long you’re going to look like this.
