I was listening to a video from Dr. Chaffee today about cholesterol and he was saying that it was perfectly natural for the LDL to go up because when we became fat adapted and our bodies start using fat (ketones) for fuel there will have to be more LDL circulating in our blood to provide that energy source.

Ok brother you’re gonna have to tell me more about this. I fish mainly for catfish but I never heard of boiling it and dipping it in butter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a firm believer that everyone has a different physiology so I don’t really care for the blanket statements that say something is definitive for each and every one of us. Something like this video is more of a guideline on what could happen for some people in my opinion and I wish that would be emphasized in these kinds of videos. The cautionary message I get from this is that if a person is struggling with their diet, if they are still experiencing metabolic problems or struggling with weight loss this is one area they should look at that may be the problem. It sounds like you’ve got a really good handle on your diet and goals. I think you’re doing great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ate twice today. Fixed chorizo and eggs this morning and smoked a forequarter of a lamb all day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We eat egg salad, deviled eggs, chicken salad and tuna salad quite frequently. You can make a clean Mayo made with butter. Look up Chris Cooking Nashville in utube. He has a good butter Mayo recipe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Calf fries are a staple for us during round ups. I’m one of the castraters. Uterus I have not tried. I haven’t eaten fish eyes but I my mother would. She learned to eat the whole fish head including the eyes when the family was stationed in Japan. Before my time though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Again, your energy is low because you are still adapting and you may need to increase your fat intake essentially after just having a baby and breast feeding. That’s a big hit on a woman. Your skin issue can be healed by carnivore. As with all healing it takes time. From everything I’ve learned about skin issues they are an autoimmune disorder that is a direct result of inflammation. How long do you need to eat carnivore??? For the rest of your life. This is not a diet but a lifestyle. It’s not something that just treats the symptoms like a pill but it cures the issue through nutrition by making the body metabolically heathy and therefore able to defend itself against disease. To keep that body metabolically healthy you have to keep it properly nourished. If you go back to eating the way you did that caused your illness before then you’ll revert back to it again. Now that doesn’t mean that you really need to be as strict as carnivore forever but you will need to find the food that was causing the inflammation to begin with and abstain from it forever. Check out Mikala Peterson and what she had to go through to discover what was literally killing her. It really shows how this is an elimination diet. We as carnivores do not believe that eating is all about balance unless you are talking about balancing fat to protein ratios and the different kinds of meats we eat. Don’t be surprised if you find out that your autoimmune issues are due to your sweets that you love. More than likely though it’s possibly due to seed oils in your diet.

Welcome to the group and welcome back to carnivore. Those who treat this as a diet are setting themselves up for failure from the beginning. It’s a lifestyle that one needs to commit to to be successful. I encountered the exact same thing with Adkins years ago. It allowed carbs and while I did great on it for ten years the carb creep got me and I completely failed. I’ve learned the this way of eating is not a weight loss diet but a eating lifestyle that heals our bodies. I also learned that I’m a carbohydrate addict and as with any addiction the only way to beat it is to totally abstain from it. I’ve managed to quit every addiction I’ve ever had, tobacco, coffee, tea and now carbs and I know that if I reintroduce any of them I’d be hooked all over again. I’m definitely not a moderator. I’m an addict. I hope y’all find your path and if you need any help then know we are here to help you any way we can with advice, knowledge and inspiration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Almost everyone who starts out strict carnivore goes through this. For many they aren’t eating enough. For others they do better if they transition slowly into carnivore and just cut their carbs down to 50 a day and after a few weeks 20 a day and then eventually go straight carnivore. Everyone’s system is different so you may need to go a little easygoing for awhile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I eat a lot of venison and venison is very lean so when I have ground venison I always add either a pound of chopped up bacon or breakfast sausage to every two pounds of ground to add fat into it. Chorizo is BM very good in it too if you can find some fresh chorizo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No did modern man for the most part. They are the organs when they made a kill. I haven’t taken a deer yet this year but when I do the first things consumed will be the liver, heart and kidneys. For us they are the fruits of the kill. My daughter is fixin to butcher a steer and we will be getting the heart, liver and kidneys from that kill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a similar experience with my primary care doc. He just loved all of the improvements in me and praised my success. I just told him I was very low carb, almost zero, which is the truth because there is some carbs in dairy and eggs. I didn’t use the “C” word. Lol. He told me to keep up the good work but make sure I’m only eating “lean” meats. I just chuckled. I have an appointment coming up for a physical and this time I plan on telling him that I’m carnivore and I hope he puts it in my records so it’s documented. If enough of us do this they may start seeing a trend in how proper nutrition can bring about great health benefits. My cardiologist already knows I’m carnivore and is very pleased with my results. In the last year he has taken me off of all my heart medications and has reduced my visits to once a year. My other cardiologist who performed my ablation is dropping me as a patient because he says I don’t need him anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes you need to wait it out. You are still very new to this way of eating and your body is still adjusting. It doesn’t happen overnight. There seems to be a lag time between using up the last of your glycogen stores and your body kicking up the ketones for energy. We often call this period the keto flu. There can be a host of other adjustments as well. I’m not sure if just one tablespoon of honey will kick you out of ketosis or not but why bother? It’s not carnivore. It serves no nutritional purpose and will not help you optimize your ketone production. Generally for most people to be in ketosis they need to stay under 50 carbs per day and to be really ketogenic they need to be under 20 a day. But everyone is different and different foods can affect us differently. How many carbs does one tablespoon of honey contain? 17 carbs? Judging by that number I’d say no, it shouldn’t kick you out of ketosis. But then again, is it really necessary in your diet. Your choice of course. The true test is to try it and see what happens. If everything in your diet is pure carnivore except the honey and you find yourself being metabolically healthy and you’re losing weight then you know it’s not an issue for you but if the opposite is true and you’re struggling to lose weight and still having metabolic problems then the honey may very well be the culprit. If it’s important to you then what I would do is give myself the best possible path to success by abstaining from the honey until my have achieved the goals I set out for myself in weight and health and then slowly reintroduce it back in and if there’s no issues then you can keep it in your diet. You may also find that when you reach that point you may no longer have the urge to ever use honey again. Since we are all different we have to find our own paths in this journey and find what works best for us as individuals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sugar is the biggest and worse addiction in America. It’s so bad because most people don’t even know they are addicted. I drink only water and bone broth and I don’t miss any of those other drinks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The “ick” phase also known as the keto flu. Lasted in different degrees for me for about 30 days. It’s pretty normal to stop feeling hungry as we progress in this way of eating because what we eat is so satiating. Just make sure you are eating plenty of fat to keep that energy level up.

When preparing a piece of meat I like to salt it and then let it dry brine in the fridge overnight. It really helps the meat to absorb the salt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I went OMAD it wasn’t a conscious decision it just came natural. A couple of months into my new lifestyle I realized that I was eating by the clock but I wasn’t hungry when I ate. The seemed silly to me so I figured that eating when I was hungry made more sense. That ended up being just once a day. The time that I would eat verified. On the average I would get hungry between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Sometimes it may be around 3:00 pm or even 6:00 pm. The key was just to eat when I was truly hungry. One thing I noticed that there were times when I would get hungry but I’d be too busy to eat but it was easy to ignore and just wait until later when it was more convenient to eat. There have even been times when I just forgot to eat and ended up going on a long term fast. Now with all of that being said I must say that I’m retired so I have more flexibility that most. If I was still working and only OMAD I believe I would just eat when I got home in the evening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I make my own using venison and I coat it in panko pork rinds for a breading and fry it in tallow. I also make a gravy that is 99% carnivore that goes well with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
