New to This Diet and have Questions
It’s hard to say what you May encounter seeing as how we are all different and this affects us all differently. I experienced diarrhea for 30 days and then constipation. I think I’ve got that part of it worked out now. I had a little bit of oxalate dumping in the form of a rash that cropped up several times but it wasn’t a big deal. I had some fatigue for awhile. My cravings weren’t too bad simply because my mindset was one of commitment and of not being willing to fail. Some people experience joint pain, prolonged fatigue, headaches, nausea, pretty much any kind of withdrawal symptoms that any addict goes through. Just stay with a high fat, moderate protein diet. Use salt and drink water and know that it will all pass and you’ll be feeling good in no time. Just because some go through this stuff doesn’t mean you will. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Daily Exercise
I was doing pretty good for awhile but I’ve gotten lazy. I need to get back to my routine of walking 3 miles every other day and hitting my resistance bands every other day. I also want to introduce some chair exercises into my day as well. The winter kicked me outta the habit and I just haven’t been motivated to get back to it regularly again. Excuses, excuses. I’m giving up my tea tomorrow so I might just get my motivation that way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New here, got a question.
Back when I was trying to eat healthier I made some pizza crust using cauliflower and yes, you do have to squeeze the water out of it to use. There is a lot of water in it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very high cholesterol
It’s normal and of no concern. High cholesterol is not indicative of any health issues. Your true indicator of cardiovascular health would be your HDL to triglycerides ratio. Tri50 = Yours are great. In fact your ratio is better than mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Carnivore and blood sugar
That just seems strange to me Scott. If you are not putting anything in your body that gas sugar or carbs how can your blood sugar rise? Tagged for hearing some answers to this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

IF you have sticky poop on a carnivore diet, did it ever resolve, if so how?
In my first thirty days of becoming a carnivore I was plagued with diarrhea due to the transition of my gut biome changing. Then I became constipated. I began taking a magnesium citrate supplement to help with that and it gave me a stool with the consistency of peanut butter. I then switched to a magnesium complex that has straighten that out. Now is it the supposed I’m taking or just that I’ve been doing this long enough that my body is finally adjusting? Who knows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whey protein and/or KetoChow
I suppose that if the whey protein was clean with no additives then it would be ok but I prefer to get my protein naturally and I can’t imagine a scenario where I wouldn’t be able to f do that. I’m not sure about Keto Chow, I suppose you’d have to go through the ingredients list to see if it’s ok to eat as a carnivore. Can you really be carnivore if you are only “technically” carnivore? That’s an interesting thing to ponder. I can’t understand the concept of being tired of eating meat. There is so much variety to be had. I would have to wonder about my commitment to being carnivore and if I had truly ended my addictions. Try out your ideas and see how they work for you but be ready to go back if things don’t go the way you want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shalom Jughead. To try to thicken you might try some cream cheese. If you’d like to try a more carnivore style mashed potato check out Chris cooking Nashville’s recipe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cholesterol
My chat went like this. Doc…your cholesterol is way to high I want you on a statin. Me…No thanks doc, it’s right where I want it to be. Doc…you have a heart condition and this high cholesterol will kill you. Me…you told me covid would kill me too if I didn’t get the jab and you were wrong about that and I believe you are wrong about this and I’ve done my research. I will never take a statin. Doc…well I’m sorry you feel this way but I’m recording this in your file. Me…I understand your standard of care requires you to do what you do but I’m the one in charge of my health. I appreciate your concern though. Of course all of this went on after he praised me for what I’ve accomplished in my health journey by going zero carb. Yeah, don’t look at the results, just follow that “Standard of Care”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Greetings from a Newbie
Welcome aboard Jughead. The conflicting info comes from the fact that many are just opinions. There is no exact science in how to do this way of eating. It’s a matter of finding your own path to walk down. We are all different emotionally and physically. Our metabolisms and physiology are all different so what works for me may not give you the same results so you need to start with a foundation and then built a diet that is custom to you. So if you are trying one thing because it was suggested in a video but it didn’t work for you then be willing to adjust. Try not to overthink this way of eating. It’s super simple. Eat when hungry. Eat only when hungry and then eat fatty meat,use salt and drink water. Give it 90 days to see how things work in you and adjust things around if needed. In my case I did need to change anything when I hit 90 days. In fact by that time I had no desire to change anything. I loved this new lifestyle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cholesterol
Don’t fear the cholesterol but instead fear the ones telling you it’s bad. Education will displace fear so check out the Lean Mass Hyper-Responder report. Look up videos from Dr. Berry on this subject and see what a cardiologist and heart surgeon have to say about it so look up videos from Dr. Ovadia. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have a tried and true go to food that has rarely wavered?
Charred fat is meat candy. I render my own tallow and I save what’s left of the fat bits and I’ll fry them up for a snack occasionally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
