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.

That’s great. So many doctors are so mainstream and closed minded that they aren’t willing to learn. It sounds like you’ve got a good one there.

It’s been my experience and it’s also recommended by many in the carnivore community such as Dr. Baker that we should not eat by the clock or socially but only when we are hungry.

O Lord, lead me in Thy righteousness because of my foes; make Thy way straight before me. There is nothing reliable in what they say; their inward part is destruction itself; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. Hold them guilty, O God . . . for they are rebellious against Thee. But let all who take refuge in Thee be glad, let them ever sing for joy; and mayest Thou shelter them, that those who love Thy name may exult in Thee. For it is Thou who dost bless the righteous man, O LORD, Thou dost surround him with favor as with a shield. —PSALM 5:8-12 I hope and pray that this doesn’t sound blasphemous but when reading this during my devotional I just couldn’t help but apply this to our daily journey as carnivores. It resonates with me in how we deal with those who rail against us in our WOE be it doctors, scientists, family or the general public. I’m afraid this sounds like I’m trying to make this WOE a religion, I’m not, but I constantly find how scriptures constantly apply to us in everything we do. After all the word bible is a wonderful acronym. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

Nice to meat you as well Jamie. Glad you could join us. Your experience will be helpful.

Very wise for someone so young. Hunger never means malnutrition nor does it mean we need to eat, only that our belly’s are empty. What most people who eat SAD equate to hunger is actually just a carb craving or lack of Leptin’s. Most of us don’t get “pulled into into fasting” it just comes naturally because we just aren’t getting hungry like we used to because our bodies are satisfied with the nutrients we’ve provided for it. Being young and still growing your body is demanding more nutrients than us older folks need. Personally I wouldn’t hold any nutrition back from my growing body as long as I was young and active if my body is telling me I need it.

I’ve been following Dr. Ovadia for awhile now. I haven’t read his book yet.

It’s been a touchy subject for LMNT. From my understanding the amount that was in their formula was very minuscule and was not going to be a factor in anyone’s diet but the company that was making it for them was putting too much in the formula. They were having their product independently tested when it was discovered and they made it known publicly that they had messed up. That speaks well to their integrity. When I was using LMNT I only used the plain version so it never should have affected me as it was only in their flavored versions.
