Welcome aboard Shawn. You are definitely on the right track. I’ve got a long list inflammatory issues that have been alleviated because of carnivore. So much so that I will never eat the SAD again. 490 days ago I was a 66 year old man who felt like he was 86 but today I’m a 68 year old man who feels like he’s 48. The transformation has been nothing short of miraculous. I hope you experience the joy I’ve experienced eating this way. I believe that you can if you really want to. Good luck and good health.

Your body is probably still adapting to burning ketones for energy rather than glucose. It can take several months for the transition to complete. I’ve heard of some cases take 4 months but those are rare. You can also look at your fat intake. Since you now get your fuel from fat you need plenty of it. Mineral deficiency’s, especially sodium, can also affect our energy. I miss my GSP. She was a great bird dog. I had her retrieving ducks at six months old and she loved to quail hunt. I sure could have used her on my last pheasant hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw when Dr. Berry announced this a couple of months ago and I’m excited to see some doctors who are finally being proactive in actually trying to cure their patients rather that just treat their symptoms. Dr. Baker is doing something similar with his health organization Revero. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went grocery shopping last weekend. Today I grilled some venison burger with bacon mixed in. Some bacon wrapped dove and a couple of T-bones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hunting season has started in Texas and it kicked off with dove season. It’s kind of a state holiday around here. [emoji1] Opening day was a little slow as it took me all day to get my limit of 15 but if I wasn’t such a bad shot it wouldn’t have taken so long. Lol! [emoji1787] Got rained out the second day but I’m going out hunting again Friday and Saturday so we’ll see if things pick up. I’ll also be chasing hogs while I’m out there as well so if the dove are scarce then maybe the hogs will be plentiful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Something I forgot to mention is that we are all different so you could very well be experiencing something that others haven’t because it’s unique to your physiology. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Willkommen mein Freund Till. I have started back to lifting after being idle for a long time and I’m feeling pretty sore today myself. I’ve heard that many that train hard have a faster recovery when eating carnivore, I guess I’ll find out. As Bob said, you may be too new at this to be reaping the full benefits of it. I’ve been carnivore long enough that I am fully fat adapted and at my final weight so I should see the benefits or rapid recovery if there are any. We shall see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like you are on the right track Rock. Keep us posted on how you do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well there must be enough because my blood test show that I’m getting enough just from the meats I eat. The only way you will know for sure is to get a blood test and find out for sure if you really need to supplement. If you aren’t deficient in potassium and you supplement then it’s possible to overload your system and put yourself in danger of stopping your heart. Potassium can kill you if you get too much. Get your blood tested and know for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Swelling as a result of carnivore is a new one on me. Most people report much faster healing when eating carnivore and being metabolically healthy. Quite often I come across someone who has something go out of wack they immediately want to blame it on carnivore when it may be something else entirely. I’m not saying that’s what your doing in the least but it is possible that what your experiencing has more to do with your surgery than your diet. Hopefully you aren’t experiencing an infection. You might need to take your concerns to your doctor and make sure there’s not something going on. Good luck my friend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rain let up long enough for me to fire up the pit so I made the most of it. Bacon wrapped dove, a rack of spareribs and a flat iron steak. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been outa pocket lately between hunting and traveling. I was going to smoke some ribs today along with some steak and some bacon wrapped dove breast’s but it’s been raining all day so maybe tomorrow. So today I just had hamburger patties made with 2 pounds of venison burger, 1 pound of venison breakfast sausage and one pound of chopped up bacon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe you need to tell Bob about your journey. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good haul. I’d love to find some meat sticks that clean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are spot on Scott. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are finding out that eating ruminants are the best for optimal health. For some people that’s all they can eat. I’m fortunate though that I can eat pork and this is my favorite way to cook it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Follow the funding. You always get the results you pay for. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you actually had a blood test to show that you have and vitamin and mineral deficiencies? If you haven’t then you don’t really know for sure what your needs are. I do not take any potassium supplements and yet my blood tests show that my potassium levels are perfectly normal. All I eat 98% of the time is animal fats, animal proteins, salt and water. So I must be getting my potassium from my meats and I think you can too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The other guys are leading you in the right direction Rock. I will just add that there are electrolyte supplements that don’t have Stevia or any other sweeteners in them. KetoChow is one and LMNT has one as well. Your cholesterol going up should not be a concern. There is no evidence that high cholesterol causes any heart disease. High LDLc is good for you and the only cholesterol marker you need to look at is your HDL to Triglyceride ratio. Divide your Tri’s by the HDL and if your ratio is 1.5 or less you are good to go. 2 isn’t terrible but could use improvement. At four months you could still be adapting so give it more time. Yes, fat and salt help with your energy. After all, you are no longer using glucose for energy so you must use ketones for energy and that can only come from fat. You are eating three meals a day but are you eating enough? It sounds like you have a high metabolism so you really need to sock the food away. Me personally I can function just fine and maintain my weight eating 1500 to 1700 calories a day and I do that with just one meal a day but I don’t have a high metabolism. I don’t know how many calories you are eating per day but it sounds like you may need to start tracking your macros the see if you are in a calorie deficit and to make sure you’re getting enough fat vs protein. You need to be your own N of 1 and experiment. If your eating 2000 cal per day then you might kick that up to 2500 for a few weeks to a month and see what happens. Keep a journal while you do this. If you still are losing the go up another 500 calories and see what happens. Keep doing this until you find what works for you. You can also use this method for finding the proper fat to protein ratio as well. You may need to increase your protein along with the fat to help add muscle. You just need to play with the numbers. Everyone is different so you need to find your own groove. Good luck and welcome to Carnivore Talk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You obviously look very fit and you have a good metabolism. All of my experience comes from the other spectrum of being fat, out of shape and metabolically sick but there are more and more athletes coming into the carnivore lifestyle for the simple fact that it’s a healthier way to eat and they find that once they are fat adapted they have better endurance. I agree wholeheartedly that you need to look up Dr’s. Chaffee and Baker. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience being world class athletes who eat carnivore.

Exactly the right attitude to have Scott. We have eaten a lifetime of bad food and it takes time to heal and turn things around. You’ve definitely got a handle on this. We are in this for the long haul so light the fire. Burn the beast and be happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
