Geezy

I hear you Jamie. I find it disgusting since I learned the truth. There is a movement afoot out there and we have at least one advocate in Washington on our side but I’m afraid that there is just too much money on their side to do much damage to them. The best we can do is get the word out and fight them with our wallets. Our Thanksgiving turkey was deep fried but we used lard. It’s definitely better than peanut oil.

Glad you had a good thanksgiving. I stayed zero carb. It’s so ingrained in me that it’s not even a challenge. It also helps that my daughter has developed a carnivore cheesecake for me.

As soon as I was enlightened and found out the truth about statins I got off of them. It drives my PCP nuts but I’m switching to a new doctor so I’ll see what kind of talks we get into about the subject.

Hey Carb, good to see you posting again.

That’s great Paul. Congratulations.

Welcome and make sure to let us know how the schooling goes. Lol.

Wow, that is very impressive. Congratulations.

You are doing great Scott. I’m very happy for you. I’ve got you beat on the cholesterol even thought it’s not a contest. lol.

Good job Paul. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Ours hasn’t really changed much other that we meet at my daughters’ house instead of mine now. The food is basically the same and my daughter is an excellent cook as most of our women folks are. I’m the only strict carnivore and ask no one to cater to me but there will be plenty of meat for me to eat and my daughter will make two carnivore cheesecakes just for me. One will be savory and one will be slightly sweetened with allulose.

He's a beast.

We are always trying to figure it out if we are genuinely trying to better our health.

Have a blessed night Bob.

The medical community shows its ignorance on a daily basis. To lump everyone into one category as if we are all alike is the utmost form of ignorance. You and you alone are responsible for your health and what’s best for you.

If it’s pure butter then yes it’s fine on carnivore. I eat nearly a stick of butter a day with my meals. I use the cheapest butter I can find that’s pure butter and has nothing added to it.

While I won’t pass up a nice rack that’s true. But I’m a meat hunter and not a trophy hunter.

Welcome Ken. So what ailments are you trying to remedy?

Good job. Any gain is an accomplishment.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk. Many carnivores, including myself, report sleeping less. It’s not a bad thing if you are not experiencing any ill effects. Calories are not a good metric by which to measure our food consumption since it is just a measurement of heat. We can’t actually eat a calorie but we can eat mass. Even if calories are used it’s not the calorie that matters but what your body does with the calorie. For instance, 3,000 calories from a doughnut will process in our bodies totally different from how 3,000 calories from a steak. While it’s generally considered ok to drink milk and consume dairy on carnivore just remember that dairy contains a lot of sugar in the form of lactose. If your body is handling it ok then it shouldn’t be a problem. As active as you are it may be just fine. I eat cheese and use some cream but I don’t drink milk. If I did it would put weight on me which is exactly what it was designed to do. Yes, the coffee and nicotine could be what’s interfering with your sleep. They are stimulants and are not good for you. If you could quit them that would definitely be a positive for you but from your description of your sleep and how you feel it really doesn’t seem to be an issue. I tend to go by how I’m feeling and if I’m feeling good then I don’t think anything needs to change. It sounds to me like you are doing pretty good.

Absolutely, in fact I’d say most have. It’s really not a big deal. You just need to start where you are at. Don’t beat yourself up over it but use it as a learning tool. It can actually be a good thing as it teaches you to recognize where you are weak so that you can avoid that next time. I believe it’s more of a mindset as anything. Get your priorities straight as to what you really want and be determined to achieve your goals. Nothing can stand in your way if your mind is right. Forget the mistake but remember the lesson.

Welcome to our little group. Congratulations on coming over to carnivore. We are here to help and support you any way we can. My first bit of advice would be to not try to do too much at one time. Work on progress over perfection.

Welcome Eve and welcome back to eating right again. Starting over again shows that you are no quitter. You now have the experience and wisdom to know where you are weak and can learn from it. Like most of us its sounds like you are a carb addict. The problem with being addicted to anything is that it’s extremely difficult to moderate what you are addicted to and in my case I’ve found that it’s easier to just completely abstain from what I’m addicted to. I hope you find the support you need here and are successful in your goals. Remember, nothing tastes as good as how you feel.
