It’s kinda funny how there are so many different opinions on this subject as well as many others in the carnivore community. On another forum there is a guy, and I think you know who it is, that is a big advocate for drinking alcohol on a regular basis for a ketogenic diet. He sites several studies that promote this but then again he provides many studies that tend to go against the norm in the carnivorous diet. I find that it all boils down to doing what works best for each individual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Duck meat may be officially classified as a white meat but it is definitely not white. Because it’s breast is a muscle meat it has higher myoglobin so it’s red or dark in color. I’ve eaten a lot of duck both domesticated and wild. They are one of my favorite fowl. The domestic duck is mild in flavor but rich in fat. Very delicious and no white meat. The wild ones tend to be very gamey with a liver taste to them. They are best soaked in buttermilk overnight and cooked to a medium rare. Goose is the same both domestic and wild. We used to raise a lot of different fowl when my kids were younger. My son had no problem eating any that we slaughtered but my daughter wouldn’t eat them. I asked her why because she never had any problems eating any wild game I brought home. In fact her favorite were dove. She said she just couldn’t eat something that she used to know. Giving them the names of food didn’t help her get get over that. She has grown out of that silliness and now her and her husband raise their own cattle and bison on occasion for consumption. She no longer has an issue with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only the chaffles have cheese. The paffles substitute the cheese with pork rind panko. Sorry for the confusion. I started making them with panko because I needed to start cutting back on dairy and here lately I’ve been abstaining from dairy all together. I like them better with the panko.

Thank you for the compliment. Sorry to hear that you have the same issues that I have but at least you have someone around that can empathize with you. As you heard in the video, carnivore has been a real game changer for me and I believe it can be for you as well. It just keeps getting better all the time. Dave is Australian but he lives in Japan.

You are definitely on the right track and I’m happy for you. I love hearing about the healing this WOE brings to us. Be careful with your BP if you start getting dizzy for no reason or when you straighten up after bending over. It’ll sure sneak up on you. Do you have a BP cuff at home so you can keep track of it?

I’m not diabetic but my last blood test showed that my numbers had gone up since my last test six months earlier. In my case it was because I’m OMAD and had fasted too long before the blood draw. I’ll be getting another blood draw in six months and I’ll fast inside the proper window. I was on Metoprolol but my cardiologist had to take me off of it because carnivore had brought my BP down to normal levels naturally but the Metoprolol was bringing it down too low artificially. I was at 79/58. Not cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As an old kraut I really like my beer. I used to drink it like an athlete drinks water. I especially loved a good ale or stout and then a bourbon barrel ale takes it over the top. But…when I became carnivore I quit drinking for about six months and will only now on occasion drink a little whiskey. I tried some wine, a Cabernet but it affected me for three days. Never again. Because of it grains and a little fear of what it might do to me I have decided that I just don’t need it in my life anymore. Whiskey and I prefer an Irish or scotch, doesn’t seem to bother me. I don’t put on any weight and I feel no side effects. When I do have one now it’s usually a very special occasion or when I’ve been working really hard and want one to relax. Even then, about two fingers in the glass and I’m good. No desire for any more. It’s really something how my mind works these days since becoming carnivore. Desires have become polar opposite of my old self. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Venison chicken fried steak. Venison steaks tenderized. Egg wash, pork rind panko, fried in tallow and covered in my carnivore steak sauce. Those were only the first ones out of the skillet. I ate a bunch more after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well Meat, welcome to our group. I know a few people who eat carnivore that have little to no physical issues and no need to loose weight. They do it because it is the most nutritious way to eat. They find that they do feel better and love the simplicity of this way of eating. You may find, like so many before you have found, that after trying carnivore as a curiosity it becomes a lifestyle rather than just a diet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, that’s not what it’s supposed to feel like. It should feel like you are full and satisfied. It’s a nice feeling. You may be trying too much too soon. Maybe cut it back to a 79/30 ratio and see if that helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, read them both and I’m not the least bit impressed or concerned. Every bit of those articles were saying “may”, “could”, everything was speculation not facts or evidence. In fact the article said “But until now, cows were not among the virus’s known hosts.” They also stated that “US officials first announced on 25 March that H5N1 had been found in cattle, and cows from 36 herds in 9 states have tested positive as of 7 May. Tests of pasteurized milk have found no living virus. “ I’m not worried any more than I was about covid which was none. I believe that it’s just all just a bunch of hyperbole. The media are always looking for the next disaster to report on and they usually fall flat on their face or end up causing such undue panic that the sheeple all start buying up all of the toilet paper and frozen pizza. Remember too that this is an election year so the left has to come up with something terrible to scare the sheep into trusting the government. You know, the same government that shut down this country and started its downfall and caused the deaths of so many people. If you are that scared about it then don’t eat or drink dairy products. Don’t eat meat. Put bird netting over your house and stay indoors. Look, if it’s going to happen then it’s going to happen and there is nothing you can do about it. It will have to run its course just like all flu viruses do. It’s the nature of things. The smartest thing you can do is to eat a strict carnivore diet so you can be as metabolically healthy as you can be and then your body will be equipped to fight off any virus that comes along and stop stressing about it. Stressing just raises your cortisol levels and brings down your metabolism. The media will sensationalize it. The government will use it to gain power over you. The scientific community will get it all wrong. That’s what they did before and that’s what they’ll do this time. So you can either be a sheep and believe all of that nonsense or you can be a lion and make your own decisions based on common sense and logic. Your choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m doing great. As of today I’ve been carnivore for one year and have never cheated or fell off the wagon. I’ve even dropped all dairy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[emoji322] HAPPY CARNIVERSARY TO ME [emoji322] Today I have successfully completed 1 year as a carnivore. I’ve done a few experiments but no cheating. I am committed to this WOE for life. I have a couple of things that I still want to improve on but I am completely satisfied where my journey has taken me so far. Carnivore has healed, or helped 24 different issues in my health and body. I’ve lost 55 pounds and a total of 36.5 inches over my entire body. I want to thank everyone on this forum who inspire me, teach me and challenge me every day to be the best I can be. Y’all are a blessing to me. Carnivore for life because carnivore is life!

Bob pretty much covered it but I will add a few things. Bob is absolutely correct about our meat supply. I raise livestock and I can tell you from experience that my cattle, sheep or goats cannot go to slaughter if they have had any medications in the last 30 days. I lost a first calf heifer and calf earlier this year due to a bad birthing. Not only did I lose both momma and baby, $$, but in trying to save the heifer we had pumped medication into her so I couldn’t even process her for food after I put her down. It was tough on so many levels. We have all been brainwashed to believe what the medical community, science and media have told us about our health but it’s all been lies. Do some research and your eyes and mind will be opened. Start off with a couple of books (both available on audio), Lies My Doctor Told Me by Dr. Ken Berry and then check out The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz. One of the lies that has been told is that T2 diabetes is hereditary and irreversible. Well I’m not a diabetic and I can’t speak with any authority on this but there are many doctors in the carnivore community that will state emphatically that this is hogwash and there are thousands of T2 diabetics that have reversed their diabetes to the point of either reducing their medication or completely getting off of their medication and have normal numbers again. Are they cured? No, I don’t think so because if they went bad to eating the SAD again they’d go right back to being diabetic but they have controlled it naturally through proper nutrition. Meat, especially ruminant meat, has all of the nutrients man needs for proper and optimal health and we, as well as hundreds of thousands of us, are proof. And of course so are our ancestors. The only thing we lack is a few minerals but you can’t get those from carbs either but you can supplement them if needed. And it’s not boring to eat this way and it’s so simple. All you have to do is eat fatty meat until you are comfortably full or satiated. Eat only when truly hungry. Drink water and salt your food to taste. That’s it. You can check out what the what we ate today thread and recipes thread and see we have a lot of variety in our foods of choice. If you did nothing else but just eliminate all sugars and sweeteners from your diet as well as all grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, seed oils and highly processed foods and only ate fatty meat and whole natural vegetables you’d be miles ahead in improving your health and nutrition. If you’re having a hard time wrapping your head around this way of eating then educate yourself on how to do it by watching videos by Dr’s Berry, Chaffee and Baker. Check out videos from influencers who have been in this lifestyle for years and even decades. Then educate yourself by reading or listening to those books I mentioned so you’ll know the real truths behind what and why we eat this way. All of the exercise and physical fitness in the world will not heal you but nutrition will. Healing and better health awaits you if you choose. Good luck and good health to you and welcome to this forum. I hope you stick around and that we can help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to meet you Debbie. I just use my real name as well over there. Geoffrey Klein Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s exactly how this elimination diet works. Eliminate everything but fatty meat, salt and water for a period of time. Preferably 90 days and then add one thing back in if you choose to and see if it affects your body. Now you know that your body is intolerant to dairy so you are making the right choice. I too have chosen to abstain from dairy but not because it bothers me. I tolerate it well but because I’m just addicted to it and it’s been getting out of control lately so I’m just getting back on track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did something a little different today. Definitely off the beaten path so to speak. I was smoking a couple of lamb shoulder roasts but that was going to take a while so I started scrounging through the fridge. First up, I had some leftover chicken and some leftover bone broth from some lamb I cooked up a few days back so I combined the chicken with the bone broth. It was good. I’d do it again. Well I wasn’t quite full yet so I still had some broth left so I heated up another bowl and added some pork rinds to it. I really liked that. They would soak up the broth and get really soft and chewy. Some would still have a little crunch left in them as well. I’d definitely try that again. I did eat any of the lamb roasts when they were done but my wife dove in before I could get a pic of them. So there’s some missing. [emoji2373] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand the skepticism and I don’t trust much when it comes to the government and medicine these days. Everything I said was from my research and my experience. Everything I said was factual as to the available available resources I could find. When I spoke of contact contamination I was not taking about the avian flu in particular but all viruses in general and it would still apply to the avian flu if it was surface contact contamination. That’s just basic heath science and food handling. So far all the evidence I’ve been able to find on humans being infected with the avian flu was from surface contact with infected dairy cattle through their mucous. Any animal that has been infected is pulled from the herd and isolated from the others until it’s no longer infected. Yes, there has been some evidence of it being found in milk but I think that I read that that was found pre-pasteurized. I haven’t seen anything stating that any was found in the stores and I have not seen anything about anyone getting sick from drinking any milk that may have been infected. If you are that worried about it then don’t drink milk. As an adult I don’t think you should be drinking it anyways. Avian influenza A (bird flu) viruses may be transmitted from infected birds to other animals, and potentially to humans, in two main ways: Directly from infected birds or from avian influenza A virus-contaminated environments. Through an intermediate host, such as another animal. Direct infection can occur from exposure to saliva, mucous, or feces from infected birds. Bird flu infections among people are rare; however, human infections can happen when enough virus gets into a person’s eyes, nose, or mouth, or is inhaled. People with close or prolonged unprotected contact (not wearing respiratory and eye protection) with infected birds or places that sick birds or their mucous, saliva, or feces have contaminated, might be at greater risk of bird flu virus infection. Exposure to avian influenza viruses can lead to infection and disease in humans, ranging from mild, flu-like symptoms or eye inflammation to severe, acute respiratory disease and/or death. Disease severity will depend upon the virus causing the infection and the characteristics of the infected individual. Rarely, gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms have been reported. The case fatality rate for A(H5) and A(H7N9) subtype virus infections among humans is higher than that of seasonal influenza infections. Human infections with avian and other zoonotic influenza viruses, though rare, have been reported sporadically. Direct or indirect contact with infected animals represent a risk for human infection. Current zoonotic influenza viruses have not demonstrated sustained person-to-person transmission. For avian influenza viruses, the primary risk factor for human infection appears to be exposure to infected live or dead poultry or contaminated environments, such as live bird markets. Slaughtering, defeathering, handling carcasses of infected poultry, and preparing poultry for consumption, especially in household settings, are also likely to be risk factors. There is no evidence to suggest that A(H5), A(H7N9) or other avian influenza viruses can be transmitted to humans through properly prepared and cooked poultry or eggs. A few influenza A(H5N1) human cases have been linked to consumption of dishes made with raw contaminated poultry blood. The public should minimize contact with animals in areas known to be affected by animal influenza viruses, including farms and settings where live animals may be sold or slaughtered, and avoid contact with any surfaces that appear to be contaminated with animal faeces. Children, older people, pregnant and postpartum women (up to 6 weeks) or people with suppressed immune systems should neither collect eggs nor assist with slaughtering or food preparation. The public should strictly avoid contact with sick or dead animals, including wild birds, and should report dead animals or request their removal by contacting local wildlife or veterinary authorities. Everyone should perform hand hygiene, preferably washing their hands either with soap and running water (especially if there is visible soiling of hands) or using alcohol hand rubs, and in all cases as frequently, thoroughly and often as possible – but especially before and after contact with animals and their environments. Everyone should practice good food safety habits: separating raw meat from cooked or ready-to-eat foods, keeping clean and washing hands, cooking food thoroughly, and handling and storing meat properly. So, I really don’t believe you are in any danger of catching it unless you live the same lifestyle as I do. I’m probably a thousand times more likely to catch it as you are but I’m not the least bit worried about it and even if I did catch it there’s a good chance that I’d beat it easily. I didn’t worry about the Chinese virus when everyone was going bat shite crazy over it. I never wore a mask and I never got the jab. I also don’t get flu shots. What I do is maintain a healthy metabolism by eating carnivore. A healthy metabolism is by far the best way to prevent and fight infections and disease. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
