When I was first starting carnivore I was very adamant about avoiding sugar and for the most part I still am but you are correct in not getting too obsessed about the trace amount in bacon. I make my own bacon and I’ve made it with and without sugars but I must admit, it’s better with the sweetened brine. Here lately I’ve been trying out just plain pork belly fried up like bacon with a little salt on it after cooking and it’s pretty darn good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My LDL was around 200 pre carnivore. After a 147 days on carnivore I had my biannual physical and blood work was done. This was my lipid panel. As you can see my total cholesterol was 299 and my LDL was 225. While my nutritionally ignorant doctor is upset about it, I’m not the least bit concerned. LDL is an essential hormone in the human body. Every cell in your body is made up of LDL cholesterol. There has never been any evidence that LDL cholesterol has any negative effects on the cardiovascular system, in fact, quite the contrary. There is evidence to show that those with lower LDL numbers tend to die of all cause mortality more that those with higher numbers. If you are metabolically healthy (key words there) then higher LDL cholesterol is a sign of good health. The only numbers that you should concern yourself with are your triglycerides and HDL. Ideally you want your triglycerides below 100 and your HDL above 50. Then to get a risk assessment you divide your triglycerides by your HDL. Any numbers of 1.5 or lower is a good indicator of cardiovascular health. Tri50 = Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I pretty much echo what Bob has stated but I would like to add this. Soy in any form is not healthy. First off it comes from the soy bean which is a seed and all seeds are terrible for you. If you are young and healthy they may not affect you as much as they might me but that doesn’t change the fact that we shouldn’t be eating them and soy in particular. Soy can affect the male hormones lowering testosterone and feminizing men. I personally will not eat anything that has any kind of soy in it. Sashimi, boy how I do love it. I fish for yellowfin tuna and when I’m cutting it up I’ll trim some off of the fish and eat it fresh. I used to have a bowl of Ponzi sauce that I would dip it in but now that I’m carnivore I won’t do that. Now it I want to dip it in anything it’s just melted butter. Everyone takes carnivore to the level that fits themselves and that’s fine as long as it doesn’t affect your health. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well first let me welcome you to the carnivore diet. I hope that it becomes a lifestyle for you rather than a diet. Most of the doctors that I follow recommend eating carnivore for at least 90 days. It may take some people that long to see some of the benefits this way of eating can produce. I think a lot of it has to with how metabolically they might be damaged. When I started I said yeah, I’ll do it for 30 days. Well I saw so much improvement that said I’d do another 30 days. It just kept getting better so I did another 30 days. After doing 90 straight days of pure carnivore I knew, for a fact, without a doubt that this was the way man was supposed to eat. 181 days later I haven’t wavered. As far as vitamins go, it’s my understanding from my research that ruminant meat is the most nutrient dense, bioavailable food there is meaning that you should get all of the vitamins and nutrients you need without supplementation. Now there are some things that we need that are not available in the quantities that we need such as vitamin D. Since most of us don’t spend enough time shirtless in the sun we just don’t get enough so supplementing that is recommended. Then there’s minerals. Since we don’t drink from heavily mineralized streams as our ancestors did we don’t get enough. Some though will argue that if you eat enough meat you should get enough minerals but I’m not sure about that. Then sodium. It’s an essential element for all animal life so that needs to be supplemented. I get my electrolytes from LMNT which has sodium, potassium and magnesium. On top of that I take a magnesium complex to help with my heart rhythm as I have AFib and to also help me with my bowels. So for me it’s just a D3, some electrolytes and magnesium complex.

Good to know. One of the benefits of carnivore is I now spend less when shopping so I shouldn’t have any problems with the higher cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good deal, for some reason I couldn’t access them. I think those are ok as they don’t have any sweeteners in them or soy products. The only thing in them that I’m not a fan of is the calcium. From my research, unless you have an illness that requires a calcium supplement it’s not needed and can have some adverse effects if taken in large doses. Other than that I see no problems with them. If you choose to go with one of them I’d go with the one that has the lower dose of calcium. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First off Shalom. I’m sorry for what is happening over there right now. I am a Christian but I am praying for you, your people and your land. Chazak u'varuch. As far as health benefits? No, you’ll be fine. You will not see any noticeable difference. Lavriut. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the phrase they use “free-living “. As opposed to what, slaves to Big Food and Big Pharma? I believe that article is a step in the right direction and that we, as a carnivore / keto community are starting to make an impact. I’ve also noticed that in the scientific community that egos and monetary fundings are very strong influencers. They have a very hard time admitting to their mistakes and many refuse to look at the truth in fear of losing funding, their jobs or being ostracized. I have been seeing a trend where some scientists are slowly acknowledging in bits an pieces that they were wrong. They can’t just come straight out and say it but they bring it out as if it’s a new finding. If one tries to come out with the whole truth they are vilified, ostracized and run out on a rail tarred and feathered. It’s all driven of course by those who have the most money to lose if the truth is exposed. It’s refreshing to see someone having the guts to present a finding that’s honest but wait and see if someone doesn’t storm their castle with fire and pitch forks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holes and errors? You are too kind sir. My bovine excrement meter is pegged out. From my understanding that wasn’t even a new study but just a reprint of the earlier BS, falsified epidemiological studies that proved absolutely nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t speak directly on whether it would help your apnea then but the carnivore way of eating is still the most beneficial way of eating there is. It’s not a diet for losing weight. Although that is a side benefit. It’s a metabolically healing diet. Healing through what we eat is the natural and best way. This is a weight optimization diet in that when you become metabolically healthy your weight will adjust to what is healthiest for you. I know several thin people, body builders and athletes that are very strict carnivores and they don’t lose weight but either gain or maintain their weight. Regardless of your build or whether it’ll help your apnea, it’s still the best way to eat in my opinion. Try it and give it 90 days or longer and see if it helps. Report back and let us know. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s interesting. Where do you live if you’d mind me asking? I’ve never seen any cattle that weren’t fed on grass for the majority of their lives. Here in the states, all cattle are grass fed. Either by fresh pasture grasses or hay and usually both. Mine are fed both. When the cattle are sold the buyers will take them to a feedlot and be feed grain ( corn, oats, wheat, soybeans, etc) to fatten them up. While this does add marbling to the meat and gives it a better flavor, as some people believe, it’s really not for the benefit of the consumer. It’s don’t because the animals are sold by weight and the fatter they are the more profit for the seller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bone Broth Ingredients 4 oz of mixed animal bones 2 teaspoons salt (Optional). I recommend pink Himalayan salt for a carnivore diet. 4l water. You need enough water to cover the bones so you have a 1:2 ratio for the finished product. Tip: You can adjust the amount of water to have a denser or lighter broth, according to your preference. Optional vinegar. You can add vinegar to leach out the minerals if desired. If you choose to add apple cider vinegar, go for two tablespoons. Instructions Preheat the oven to 230 degrees. Take out a deep roasting tray and arrange the bones in a single layer. Sprinkle salt on the bones and roast for about half an hour. Turn the bones around halfway, so they are evenly roasted. The roasting is done when the bones are caramelized and brown in color. This step is optional, and you can skip the bone roasting. Move all the bones and the juices into a pot. Add water and vinegar if desired. Bring the bones to a boil and then reduce the heat to low, so it simmers. Skim the foam every 15 minutes for the first two hours to have a clear broth. Cook for at least 18 to 24 hours. Add extra water if needed. The bones should be covered at all times. Let the broth cool slightly and strain with a fine-mesh strainer or a cheesecloth. Store the broth in glass jars in the fridge for up to five days, or freeze for up to six months. Recipe Tips Here’s what to keep in mind when cooking homemade broth: How long you should cook the broth depends on the bones you’re using. For example, cook fish broth for about two hours, chicken broth for up to 12 hours, and beef, lamb, pork, and veal broth for 24 hours. Simmer for longer if you want to save and eat marrow bones for calcium. You can also cook the broth in the slow cooker. Keep the kitchen fan on during the cooking to help with the stink. You don’t have to skim the foam at the top. The foam is just protein and fat, so it’s pure animal food. Skimming gives a clear broth, but leave the foam if you don’t mind a darker color. You can use bone broth in other recipes instead of water. For example, add nourishing broth, braised meat, scrambled eggs, and pate. I personally don’t make my own because I can just by it in the grocery store. This is what I use. It’s the cleanest I could find. I don’t know if you can find anything similar in your country.

Those links don’t allow me to look at the ingredients so I can’t say for sure if they are any good. The thing to look for, in my opinion, is sugar or any kind of sweeteners. I’m very strict with myself about abstaining from anything sweet. It’s a trigger for me that is too big a temptation for me. Some people handle it well, I do not. If you can’t find anything suitable then you can make your own electrolyte mix. ½ teaspoon salt (provides ~1 g sodium) 500 mg potassium citrate powder (provides ~200 mg potassium) ¼ teaspoon of magnesium malate (provides ~60 mg magnesium) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s going to take you exactly the next minute to get back on track. Seriously, you stepped off the path but you didn’t fall off of the mountain. Just step right back on and forget the mistake but remember the lesson. Yes it will take a little while for your body to deplete it’s glucose stores and go back to being fat adapted but not nearly as long as it did originally when you had years of it built up. You’re doing fine so don’t worry about it. Celebrate your return with a ribeye slathered in butter and bleu cheese. Back when I drank I had a saying that every once in awhile I needed to get drunk just to remind myself why I shouldn’t get drunk in the first place. This was usually after waking up with a hangover.

I already engage in every hobby I’ve wanted to do. If money was no object then I guess I would just expand on what I do now. Among other things, one of the things I do is hunt. I’ve hunted all over my state and I’ve hunted in Colorado, New Mexico, Alaska and Canada. So I wouldn’t mind hunting New Zealand, Africa and maybe a few other countries.

We eat liver weeks and sometimes almost daily. Whenever we have a beeve or lamb slaughtered we save the liver and heart. I just made two pounds of liverwurst today. I don’t eat it but once a week because it’s not exactly carni clean but my wife will eat some nearly every day. I recently watched a video from Dr. Berry about vitamin A toxicity from eating to much liver but he stated that while it’s a real thing, it would be nearly impossible for you to eat enough liver to be harmful.
