I’m not judging anything especially you. Like I said. If you think you’re getting something out of it then more power to you. I’m just trying to educate you that plants, legumes and most especially soy are not beneficial for anything in the human body and can be detrimental. That’s just a fact. I don’t care if you believe it or not and I don’t care if you eat it or not. Heck, even I will eat some jalapeños once in awhile but I don’t try to fool myself by saying they’re high in vitamin C so that’s why I eat them. I’m more honest with myself than that. I eat them because I like them. The reason why I bring up the facts on eating plants and how they affect our bodies is because if you start having issues in achieving your goals or issues in your body that aren’t being healed then the first place to look would be the toxic vegetables you’re putting in your body. You do you and what’s best for you and enjoy your life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kept it simple today. Just a whole bunch of venison stew meat that I pan fried in tallow. Then a made a dipping sauce of the leavings in the pan with some butter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s still a soy bean and soy beans are not healthy. As a carnivore I don’t need probiotics since I’m fat adapted and my gut biome is completely adapted to digesting and processing the fats and meats I eat. The reasons that I find no benefit to eating soy or any plant for that matter is.., If good health is what you’re after, then soy is a terrible choice. Weed-killer in Soy Soy is a leading food source of glyphosate (the weed-killer Roundup). Glyphosate is a synthetic herbicide patented by the Monsanto Company and now manufactured and sold by many companies in hundreds of products. Glyphosate has been associated with: • Cancer • Liver damage • Reproductive and developmental issue Soy is a Goitrogen Goitrogens are foods that interfere with normal, healthy thyroid function and cause goiter — or swelling of the thyroid. Goitrogens do this by interfering with iodine absorption in the thyroid. Iodine is required for healthy levels of thyroid hormone production. Without it, the thyroid cannot produce the T4 and T3 hormones. Soy and your Sex Hormones Soy is an endocrine disrupter - that is to say it interferes with hormones. I’ve detailed its action on thyroid hormone above but healthy function of the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone can also be disrupted. Soy is a natural source of phytoestrogens, a compound that mimics human estrogen. Phytoestrogens have demonstrated the ability to: 1. Disrupt of normal sex hormone levels and the female ovulation cycle 2. Decrease sexual behavior in animal research 3. Increase social, aggressive, and anxiety-related behaviors in animal research 4. Ever heard the term Soy Boys? Too much estrogen in males. It causes a feminization in men. Soy is a Source of Lectins Soybeans, like all beans, are a source of lectins. Lectins are carbohydrate binding proteins designed to damage cellular communication. These sticky, carbohydrate-binding proteins function as a defense mechanism for plants. They are designed (by evolution) to cause a severe immune response in the animals that eat them (including humans) which ultimately results in paralysis. Lectins are associated with both mental and physical health problems. They bind nerve endings, cause blood cells to clump and also attach to viruses and bacteria. In some cases people with lectin sensitivity are more likely to get sick because of this. Now it’s my understanding that fermentation can reduce many of the toxins in plants but if one is eating carnivore there is just no reason to eat plants for nutrition since every thing you need you can get from meats. Even potassium. You do you but don’t fool yourself that you are being more nutritious by eating soy. Me personally, I will continue to avoid that stuff like the plague.

Far from being an expert here but it sounds like Dawn Phenomenon to me which is pretty normal. At only four months in it sounds like you’ve had some really great results but you are still new to this WOE and your body may still be adjusting. I wonder if eating just before bed time could be an issue. I’ve heard that taking some ACV can be helpful in the evening. I would also look at what I’m eating as far as my fat to protein ratios. Protein is broken down into smaller building block units called amino acids, which your body then uses to build and repair tissues or convert into glucose in the liver. Amino acids are used in a process called gluconeogenesis, which produces glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. This process is especially important during long fasts, like overnight while sleeping, or during prolonged periods without food. Meal timing and frequency on a carnivore diet can also affect blood sugar levels. Eating larger meals less frequently may cause blood sugar to rise more significantly than if you were to consume smaller, more frequent meals. It’s essential to experiment with different meal timing and frequency strategies to determine what works best for managing your blood sugar. Gluconeogenesis is a biological process by which the body converts non-carbohydrate sources, such as protein, into glucose. While the Carnivore Diet is primarily focused on protein consumption, it’s important to note that excess protein can potentially be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis. However, this process is demand-driven, meaning it occurs only when the body requires glucose for energy and is not as significant as the glucose derived from dietary carbohydrates. Therefore, protein consumption on the Carnivore Diet is unlikely to have a significant impact on blood sugar levels. Give it more time and do a little experimenting and see what happens. Eating a carnivore diet is still the best way to eat for a everyone especially for diabetics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it works for you then by all means carry on but I find nothing nutritious in soybeans. While fermenting them may make them “less bad” there is nothing healthy in them that I’m aware of. You can get all the nutrients you need from meat. But hey, like I said, if it’s working for you then carry on. If you find that you don’t get all of the healing that you’re looking for or you have big weight loss stalls that would be the first thing I’d look at as a detriment. Good luck.

Nowler you have the right attitude. I’m proud of you that you are willing to do what needs to be done to become metabolically healthy. So many aren’t willing to give up things that give them pleasure. With that mindset you cannot fail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do what you need to do to continue on. It can be very difficult for some when they try to cut out too much too soon. Most carnivores starting out keep their coffee or tea and as long cream does not bother their system then it’s no big deal. In time, as you become fat adapted and secure in your eating you may want to improve your diet and decide to eliminate coffee or like I did, switch to tea. If that happens then you’ll only be fighting that one addiction instead of several at the same time. I drank tea for over a year as a carnivore and found that even though the caffeine was less it was sufficient. After some time I decided that I no longer wanted to be controlled by caffeine so a little over a month ago I stopped drinking tea and found it wasn’t that difficult. For my morning hot beverage I now drink a half cup of bone broth with a half cup of water with a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of MCT oil all emulsified together.

I’ve never heard one way or the other. The general consensus is just add fat in any form. On a daily basis my fats will range from butter to tallow to bacon grease and MCT oil. I would have to experiment to find if one is better that the other. I just make sure that I have plenty of fat with everything I eat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well to start with it is unusual to have lost nothing in six weeks. Most people will lose water weight if nothing else. The first thing I’d look at is my diet. Have you eliminated everything from your diet except animal fats, animal proteins, salt and water? Are you emphasizing eating a high fat and moderate protein diet? The fat to protein ratio is important. Next thing is to be aware that this is first and foremost a way of eating to obtain optimal health. It’s not a weight loss diet. All “diets” fail. As your body heals there will be weight loss but that is a side effect not the primary effect. For some people it can take longer than others before their bodies heal enough to shed the fat. Look up Kelly Hogan. It took her six months before she started losing weight. In fact she gained weight in the beginning but look at her now. She stuck with it because she wanted to be healed and saw the changes that were happening in her body. She had the mindset that she wanted to succeed. She and possibly you are prof that we are all methodically different. What works for me may not work the same way for you. The principals are the same but sometimes the methods may need tweaking for the individual. This is not a cookie cutter, one size fits all, diet. You may need to find your own path on this journey and the place to start is at the beginning. Make sure you are eating a 70-30 percent ratio of fats to protein. Eat only when you are hungry and then eat until you are comfortably full. Drink only water and use salt liberally. Give it plenty of time, two weeks or longer. If no change then try upping your fat intake and give that some time to see what happens. You may have to experiment by adjusting your fats an protein to different ratios until you find what works for you. Just give it enough time in between trials. This is not a race so try not to be impatient. If you are doing this for the right reasons then you’ve got plenty of time to figure this out…a lifetime. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Get that negativity out of your mind right now (said in my best grandfatherly voice while wagging my finger.) Seriously, don’t have an attitude like that. Losing one pound or four pounds is a victory to be cherished. If we are going to be honest that was probably water weight but that’s a good thing because it means the diet is working because as your body is transitioning it will shed water in greater amounts. Hence the reason to be drinking water and keeping your electrolytes up. You much have a positive mindset about this or you will really struggle when you hit your first stall. Try to focus on the fact that this is not a diet in the traditional sense of dieting for weight loss but rather it’s a way of eating as a lifestyle designed to become metabolically healthy. As we become healthier our bodies will lose weight to become optimal. Just eat plenty of animal fats and animal protein along with just water and salt and let the body do what it’s designed to do. It will all come in time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone who has been carnivore and studied nutrition for more that three months probably knows more about proper nutrition than 95% of the doctors out there. They get little to no training in nutrition and are just saying what they are told to say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As long as you don’t have any reactions to eating pork there’s nothing wrong with eating that pork chop as long as it wasn’t breaded. After all, your eating bacon aren’t you? I think you’re doing great and your mindset is spot on. Keep up the good work. Now my weakness with pork chops was have applesauce or Apfelmus with them. That’s the German coming out in me.

The longer you are carnivore the more you’ll notice things like that. You’ll start paying attention to what other people put in their carts and you might even be disgusted to think that at one time you were just like them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not the least bit surprised that your neuropathy is getting better. When it comes to carnivore I’m surprised when it doesn’t help someone. I too have noticed my urge to relieve my bladder has diminished. I can hold it for much longer than before. I’m also not having to get up several times a night to go to the bathroom. That’s saying a lot considering I have and enlarged prostrate and early signs of prostrate cancer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
