On the surface that might make some sense but in reality, from my experience, it doesn’t really do anything. Regardless of whether you are burning fat from your diet or your fat stores you are still going to burn fat and it will come off as it needs to. Eating leaner meats could increase your appetite since you’re not getting your appetite suppressed by dietary fats and you may end up eating too much protein. The reason your cholesterol has gone up is because without glycogen to burn for fuel your liver must release more fat into the blood stream to fuel the body. So it’s only natural that there be higher amounts of fat in our blood. You can try to eat leaner but I don’t believe it will do any good.

Baby back ribs baybee.

I’m with meathead on this one. While protein is important for our overall heath we need more fats than we do protein. I’m not saying don’t try your sardines but make sure you’re eating a good source of animal fats otherwise you may be defeating the purpose of a carnivore diet. Good luck and let us know how it works for you.

What a shame. I hate to hear of old institutions being shut down and pushed out by progress brought on by progressives. In the article it stated “People are eating less meat and fish,” Hayward wrote to colleagues. This wouldn’t be so bad if it were the actual choice of the people but it’s not, it’s all brought on by government lies and political brainwashing of the populace.

But trials test the genuineness of our faith and purge us of sin and shallowness like a refiner’s fire purges gold. The process may be painful, but the result is more precious than the purest gold (1 Peter 1:7).
 Again, a scripture that we can apply to our daily journey into carnivore. Many of us find struggles in adapting this WOE in our lives and yes it can be a trial that is sometimes painful but the end result is more precious than gold.

You could probably make the same case against all highly processed foods on the market.

Ribeyes cooked over and open flame and shrimp.

Exactly! There is a diet known as the Bible diet in which you only eat the foods that were eaten in biblical times. The fallacy with that is those foods no longer exist. We have taken what God gave us and reengineered it to suit our own purposes.

That’s great Bob. Keep up the good work.

It’s crazy but I’ve counseled several people from diabetics to those fighting cancer and those who have have totally wrecked their health from a lifetime of eating nothing but crap food and it’s amazing that when presented with a simple means to healing themselves they turn it down in favor of pills, sugar and early death. I have helped a couple of them and they are doing great but the majority just think it’s ridiculous. So all we can do is put it out there and be a good example but it’s all up to them.

True but getting that proper information is the trick when everyone who’s making a profit from it keeps lying about it.

Dairy can put weight on. Now I’ve heard that butter, even though it’s a dairy supposedly doesn’t fall into that category but I’m not convinced of that because over doing anything can cause setbacks. So I do think you should cut back the butter but keep up your animal fats and protein. In Dr. Bakers book The Carnivore Diet he stated that if you are still hungry then eat. Just make sure it’s fatty meat. We all have a different metabolism and some can be satisfied with just a pound of meat but I’ve seen Dr. Bakers knock off a 4 pound chunk of steak like it was nothing and he regularly eats 2 pounds of steak at each meal but he has a high metabolism and that’s what it takes to satisfy him. You'll just need to use a little trial and error to see what works best for you. Keep a journal detailing what you are eating and see how things are affecting you. Try something and then monitor what your body does over the next three days. No change then try something else but each time give it three to five days to work if fail and keep track. Eventually you find your path. Good luck.

That’s understandable. We were all ignorant of something until we opened our minds and learned the truth. What many fail to understand is that for one thing to live, another must die. With that understanding comes responsibility. Whether that’s raising my own animals for food or hunting for my food I have a responsibility towards that animal to ethically care for them and as humanly as possible put them down. Along with that comes a reverence for that animal and it’s sacrifice for me. When my son was about 8 years old he was out front shooting his BB gun. He spotted a field lark (bird) siting on the high line wire. He asked me if he could shoot it. Rather than tell him no and that it was against the law I decided to let him make up his own mind so I told him yeah, he could shoot it. I then told him “But I don’t know how it’s gonna taste”. He asked if we ate those kind of birds and I told him not normally. I said that we eat dove, quail, duck, geese but I wouldn’t eat a field lark unless I was starving, but if he took that birds life that would be his lunch because we only kill for food or protection, so if it’s not vermin then it must be food and that field lark wasn’t bothering us therefore if you kill it it’s food. He decided that that bird didn’t need killing.

Anytime buddy.

Now this is kinda embarrassing for me to post these pictures and I’ve never let anyone else see them but it’s worth the embarrassment to see how far I’ve come. May 9, 2023. 225 lbs 562 days later 165 lbs What inspired me to take the pictures this evening was we were fixing to go out with some friends and as I was getting dressed I decided to try on a belt that I haven’t been able to wear for along time and I was pretty excited that it fit again.

Eggs and brisket.

Took out both lungs and blew the heart in half so you could say it was a perfect shoot. Almost instantaneous but it was a shame because I like to eat the heart so the dogs got the heart on this one.

Welcome to our group Aesop. Your cravings are your body telling you that you need more fat. You’ve burned up your glycogen stores and now need more fat for fuel. Don’t be afraid to feed the beast.

Great job Curt.

What a great report. I’m excited for you Scott.

To expand on that I’d like to point out that we as carnivores try to imitate how our ancestors ate as far as the type of food we eat but we often continue to eat as modern man eats. I don’t believe that early man ate by any schedule but only when he was hungry. Early man did not have a concept of time but he knew when he was hungry. When he was hungry he either grabbed some leftover meat or he went hunting and when he ate he ate until he was full.
