Upon reflection I don’t think I have any conspiracies because I don’t necessarily believe something is true or false until I have all of the evidence. Quite often just a little common sense goes a long ways into determining if something is real or not. Some of the things that people call conspiracy are just that because they are ignorant and don’t want to know the truth even when the evidence is right before their eyes. I like to deal in facts, not theory. With all of that said, I’m not sure a discussion on this type of topic would be helpful in this type of forum because it could easily become political, religious or cause infighting and that just isn’t needed on a talk forum about diet and nutrition. Now if it could be kept around food and related topics it could be informative. Of course I’m not a moderator and this is just my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I personally don’t like it. But..I also believe in free speech. I also believe in self discipline. I also believe in choosing to watch what you want to watch and turning of what you don’t like. If all of those people who didn’t like it would just quit watching those shows instead of supporting it even though they dislike what it does then these shows would tone it down as they lost advertisers. Because of the blatant use in film it has become so mainstream that it has become common in polite company as well as just everyday conversation. Choose with your morals and vote with your pocketbook. I think the greater issue is the porn that has permeated everyday movies and shows. Absolutely none of it is necessary to tell the story. It is all for sexual gratification and serves no purpose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are jealous and perceive you as a threat. They want you to join their flock so they can be comfortable with having everyone being of the same species. You are a predator that they fear because you are different. I raise a few animals and I see this in their behavior. If you put a totally harmless bunny rabbit in a chicken pen the chickens will kill it because it’s not the same as them. Be proud to be a predator/carnivore and to stand apart from the norm. Be a Positive Deviant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like you are intolerant to dairy, which of course I’m sure you already suspect. Since carnivore is an elimination diet you now know that this is something that you should eliminate. I like dairy and it doesn’t bother me except I have to be careful with it because I will tend to overindulge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Catfish filets breaded with pork rind panko and fried in tallow. Caught fresh this morning. Mighty good eats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven’t experienced that. I love the fat but it doesn’t cost my mouth. With hamburger I find that it’s not greasy enough so I add butter to it. There are carnivore breads and tortillas that are made from protein that may help you. The tortillas are called Egglife Wraps. They am an be found at some grocery stores. You can go to their website and find where they are sold. The breads you’ll have have to make yourself. There are a ton of videos on utube with recipes on how to make breads using eggs as it’s foundation and some that use meat. Maybe eat some pork rinds with your meal or after if you can find some that are not cooked in seed oils. Drinking some hot bone broth might help as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So help her the way she wants. It’s her health and if she chooses to abide by her doctors orders then honor her wishes. You can advise her in the proper human diet and you can give her the resources to teach her real nutrition but in the end it’s still her decision. We are elderly advocates. We care for four elderly people helping them with their property, grocery shopping, doctor appointments and medication. One of those elderly eats horribly and is In extremely bad metabolic health. She’s on more medication than I can count and is constantly having to go to doctors and having tests run. She’s always in pain. Can barely walk and is always miserable. She’s actually eating herself to death. I have talked to her but she chooses the pleasure of her junk food over her health and feeling good. It breaks my heart to see her self eliminating with food but it’s her choice.

I don’t see why not. You might even consider ghee. I know butter works well on fowl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My morning view. And the results. Dinner for this evening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I could definitely eat those. We are getting a Costco in our town sometime in the future and I will be looking for those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m with you on this. Before I become carnivore I tried one of her smoothies and just one sip convinced me that I wanted nothing to do with them. Now back then I would eat fresh spinach in my salads and deep fried spinach was very tasty but her smoothies had all kinds of other stuff in them and most of it just isn’t palatable to me. They don’t seem to bother her though and she thinks it’s healthy. Now avocados? I’m sorry but to me they are just nasty. I can’t stand the texture and they have no flavor to me.

Welcome kafab. You are wise to be suspicious of the foods that traditional medicine recommends. We as carnivores as well as the many carnivore doctors and studies have proven that the majority of what those doctors recommend is junk science and just blatantly false. Doctors have no training in nutrition and are just repeating what they’ve been told to say from their Standard of Care doctrine that was established by Big Pharma and Big AG. I personally find absolutely no merits in the so called Mediterranean Diet. It, like the Diet Heart Hypothesis, was just something that was made up by cherry picking through epidemiological studies and surveys to produce what one groups agenda. I have lived in the Mediterranean (Greece and Turkey) and my experience showed that they ate a high fat, high protein diet. Meat was the major food item. There were vegetables, nuts, fruits, alcohol but they all centered around meat. Mostly lamb or pork. I will say this though, they do have fantastic olive oil. At the market there would be these huge vats of different kinds of olive oils and you would bring your own container and with that pick whatever you wanted or even make you own blend. I believe that if you were to transition over to a carnivore diet you may be surprised by the results you get. Immerse yourself into the community. Watch videos from the carnivore doctors and influencers. Learn how to do this properly and get in the right mindset that you want to become metabolically healthy and I believe you’ll do fine.

So Louis, it sounds like you are doing great and getting this figured out. How are you feeling? Have you been seeing any improvements in your health? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful lamb ribs yesterday. Fatty and delicious. Today a four egg provolone cheese omelette and a couple of leftover lamb ribs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, cool. If I fry any meat it’s usually tallow because I have a lot of it and it handles high heat better that butter but butter tastes better to me. I love smoking my meats but I use an offset pit smoker. Ok, it just strange that someone would prefer boiled over scrambled but to each their own. Me, I can eat buttery scrambled eggs nearly every day. Boiled are good but my least favorite. The reason why this is important the read the labels is the carb can be very misleading and manipulated. Even eggs and meat have carbs but it’s the sugars, fillers and seed oils we need to be mindful of.

The only thing that comes to mind is I way over salted some wild goose gumbo once. Other than that I can’t think of anything drastic enough to be called a disaster. I’m actually a pretty good cook. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Back when I did Adkins, about 20 years ago, my wife was dead set against me doing it. Like most she was totally caught up in SAD hype. It didn’t matter. It all made perfect sense to me and I told her that it didn’t matter. I would do it with or without her support. After I lost 50 pounds in one year, was hitting the gym three days a week, full of energy and healthy as a horse she became convinced that I was on the right track and she started supporting me and even joined me. I maintained Adkins for ten years and slowly fell off the wagon and went back to being a carb eater and not caring anymore. When my health deteriorated to the point I was desperate I was introduced to carnivore and this really resonated with me. When I jumped in with both feet my wife had no objections. She isn’t joining me but she supports me and sees the miraculous changes in me. She eats what I eat but she isn’t going to give up her avocados and spinach smoothies and occasional pasta.

What have been cooking your steak in? Just curious but why boiled? Boiled eggs a great but not as good as scrambled in my opinion. So how clean are these processed meats you’re eating? I know it’s been very difficult for me to find any processed meats that don’t have some form of sugar, seed fillers, plant matter, seed oils or chemicals in them. That may be a factor in you still having lower back pain. I have a bad back. Spinal stenosis and a protruding compressed disc. Surgery helped the stenosis but did little for the disc. I was to the point in my pain that I couldn’t stand for more than about 15 minutes at a time and I couldn’t walk to the mailbox a hundred yards away without some kind of support. Since I became carnivore I can now stand for hours and I can walk five miles briskly with no issues. Reducing the inflammation in my back has done wonders for me. The back is still bad and the disc is not going to heal so I still have to take care of it but I’m still 90% improved. In fact I did a lot of work yesterday improving a fence and stacking feed sacks and today I’m feeling a little soreness in my back but I can still function. Last year I would have been stove up for three days after that much work. Once I learned how the criminal food industry adulterates our foods I became an avid label reader and eject everything that doesn’t fit into my lifestyle. For instance, there was a pepperoni that I liked from the deli section that I thought was pretty clean until I looked at the label and saw that the second ingredient was dextrose. Sugar! Dang! My favorite store bought chorizo has soy grits. WTH? I am adamantly opposed to soy in any form. Most pork rinds are fried in seed oils. Fortunately I found some that are fried in lard. Some of the cheeses I like are made with skim milk. No thanks. Just saying this to point out that reading food labels are important because there are all kinds of hidden dangers in processed foods that can sabotage our best efforts.

Bella over on Steak and Butter Gal promotes priming. There may be some value to it but I’m not so sure that it’s really necessary for getting your body on track or more for getting your mindset on track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are doing great Louis. Do not worry about the broth. That little bit of seasoning and or vegetables that it was made with shouldn’t hurt you when you’ve been so good everywhere else. Just don’t make a habit of it. I believe the more you become fat adapted the less you desire to eat for pleasure and the more you just want pure nutrition in your body. Keep up the good work buddy.

Louis, you are welcome and we are always here for you sir. You are correct. You are an addict, just as we all were. Addictions control our minds as well as our bodies. We want that next dopamine hit. This is the same for all addictions. There are two ways to handle this. Either cold turkey, as I did, and just have the discipline to power through it or ease into it a little at a time and wean yourself off of the carbs. It’s mostly just a mind game. You have to be determined to succeed no matter what. Other than encouragement, nobody can help you do this. It’s up to you. You have to be totally committed to reach your goals. Nobody is coming to save you. I know you can do this if you really want to. It takes a strong mental attitude and I believe you can find it in yourself to get it done. Strengthen you mind and resolve by immersing yourself in the carnivore community. Watch videos from carnivore doctors and carnivore influencers. Read articles and studies that support our way of eating. Forget the mistake and remember the lesson. You got this Louis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never did just eat a proper meal today. Ate half of a leftover bison ribeye while cooked up a bunch of meat for the week and just nibbled here and there. Fried up a pound of my homemade bacon and probably ate seven slices of it and put some cream cheese on some of them. Then I pan seared some lamb steak and then put them in the instant pot with some bone broth and pressure cooked them for 30 minutes. I’ll eat on those tomorrow maybe. Then I fried some lamb burgers and ate one of those with butter. After cooking I salted a rack of lamb ribs and put them in the fridge to dry brine overnight and I’ll smoke them tomorrow sometime. I’ve got to go pick up 15 head of calves tomorrow morning for my father in law so I’m not sure if I’ll have time to get those ribs done in time to eat them tomorrow.

Well you ain’t gonna get it done eating french fries. Especially when they’re fried in seed oils. Now stop it! Shame on you Erik. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You may already know this but tachycardia can be caused by irregular heart rhythms including among others, Atrial fibrillation and Atrial Flutter. I have both of these but I am much better by all indications because of carnivore. When I developed AFib my doctor recommended the Apple Watch to help monitor my attacks and it would catch them most of the time but not always. When I would have a big attack it would catch it but smaller episodes were harder to pick up. Even when I knew I was in the middle of a small attack the watch couldn’t always read it and simple flutters it never caught. So, just be aware that the watch is not without its flaws. It’s far from accurate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Goat is delicious, especially the way I cook it. Our favorite way is to slow smoke a quarter at a time on my pit smoker. So good. It’s also very good in stews, Birria tacos and barbacoa. Wild boar or as we call them down here, Hogs, are excellent fare. I’ve heard some people say that wild pork is gamey but I think that’s all in their head. I’ve killed an eaten a lot of wild hog and have never had one that was gamey. Now old mature boars, they can be pretty rank but anything under 200 pounds is excellent. Tastes just like regular pork only better in my opinion. There is less fat on them and there isn’t enough belly fat to make bacon. Too big to be tasty. Just right for eating. Emu is good but very lean. Steaks and roasts are very dry. The best way I found to make it better to eat was to grind it into hamburger or sausage with plenty of fat added.
