Welcome Fraenk, glad you could join us. Well I’m one of the fortunate ones who’s back pain was 90% alleviated within 60 days of carnivore. I’m sorry your not finding any relief yet. Just what exactly is your back issue? I’ve had a protruding compressed disc do over thirty years and carnivore will not fix that but it does reduce the inflammation tremendously so that’s a big help. When I do strain my back by over exerting myself or lifting wrong my recovery is faster. I also had developed spinal stenosis and had surgery for that and while the surgery fixed the stenosis I developed a constant back pain that in time restricted my movement so bad that it was getting difficult to to walk. I couldn’t walk to my mailbox a hundred yards away without using some kind of support and I couldn’t stand at the sink to wash dishes for five minutes without resting my forearms on the edge of the sink. Within 60-90 days of carnivore all of my inflammation and pain was gone and now I’m briskly walking 3 miles every other day without any support or discomfort. The only reason I’m telling you this is to show that it all depends on what your issue is. Carnivore will reduce or even eliminate inflammation which causes most of our pain but injuries are a different matter. The diet can help to reduce the inflammation around the injury but I don’t believe it can fix it entirely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was a great video Bob. Very informative. I learned a lot from it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually I’m an totally immersed in studying diet and nutrition as well as the carnivore community. I take nothing for granted and look at both sides with as much non bias as I can. I look at everything with as much common sense and logic as I can muster and I seek the truth. Yes, I know many people eat whole foods and are healthy and fit but if you really look at them you’ll see that they also aren’t obese, don’t smoke, don’t eat tons of sugar and highly processed foods and live active lifestyles. If everyone would do that then we wouldn’t have a nation where 70% of the population was overweight and sickly and 47% were obese. I never said that carbohydrates were unhealthy. I said they were unnecessary and that is true. They are not an essential food for human survival. If you want to eat fruits and vegetables go ahead, engorge yourself. None of us will judge you, especially like you’re judging us. You made some judgmental blanket statements that were just plain false. You obviously don’t care for the carnivore lifestyle and it doesn’t suit you so fine, don’t do it. Eat keto if that’s better suited for you. We have some keto eaters around here and we welcome them gladly and don’t judge them. Not everyone has what it takes to eat the way we do. You gotta do what’s best for you.

Welcome Dennis. Glad you could join us and welcome to the world of eating a proper human diet. Hunger in between meals is certainly not common to carnivorous as our food is very satiating. Generally those who find themselves getting hungry between meals are either not eating enough during their meals or not eating enough fat. It is the fat that satiates us. I can eat a pound of fatty beef and be satisfied all day but chicken leaves my hungry because there just isn’t enough fat I’m nor the right kind of fat to satisfy me. I have to drown my chicken in butter to get anything out of it. So, examine your diet to make sure you are eating until comfortably full and also getting enough fat. When I first became carnivore I ate by the clock just like I always had but I started to notice that I was eating when I wasn’t really hungry. So I decided that it was foolish to eat when I wasn’t needing food. I’d never get hungry in the morning and it might be somewhere between noon and three in the afternoon before I’d get hungry enough to eat. I had developed a keto hunger and my carb hunger had gone away. With a keto hunger I only feel the need to eat when my body says it needs fuel. Just because my belly is empty it doesn’t mean I’m hungry, it’s just empty. I’ll know I’m truly hungry when I’m wanting some fatty protein. If you do feel the need to snack on something then keep some cooked bacon in the fridge and some hard boiled eggs and grab a slice or two and eat an egg. Quick and easy and carnivore.

Welcome Kristin. We are glad you joined us. You are very early into your new lifestyle of eating so your body is going through some transitional changes as it learns to become fat adapted. If your gall bladder is acting up it could a medical issue that you need to see a doctor about. Check out this video from Dr. Berry about gall stones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then I question if you really know the difference between a cult and a way of life.

Ignorance is bliss. I know in my own experience that I have stopped eating numerous processed foods after reading the ingredients labels. As I abstain from all sugar and sweeteners ice cream is a no brainer for me.

Nina’s book The Big Fat Surprise is one of the better books I’ve read about our WOE and modern science.

Gotta admit possum is one critter I haven’t tried yet. I’ve got my own chickens but they can barely keep up with our consumption. But I appreciate the offer.

I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count. I hit the jackpot today. A neighbor and friend of mine’s guinea’s are overwhelming them with eggs so I said I’d take all he could spare. So it’s been an egglisious day. I think I may need to teach him how to preserve eggs for long term storage. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that’s odd. Gas is generally caused by plant matter fermenting in the gut. Now I get gassy during the early morning but that’s because while using my Bipap machine I swallow a lot of air. I’m with Bob, cut out the eggs or just the egg whites and see if that helps. If that doesn’t help then you may need to see a gastroenterologist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s generally the consensus. Loose bowels, lower the fat. Stopped up, increased the fat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, I don’t. Children should be taught the basic skills to function in life and for being productive members of society. Art like music or athletics is something that is an entertainment and not necessary for making one’s way through life. It is also a skill that requires a certain aptitude that many don’t have. I don’t have an artistic bone in my body and to subject me to a mandatory art class would have been torture. Now shop class? That’s a different story. I excelled at building things. So much so that I became a precision aircraft mechanic specializing in custom modifications. I like to build things. So the arts need to be something that is an elective only for those who have the desire to learn that discipline. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hear you Miranda, I experimented with some venison chili back in the winter and I was miserable for three days. Don’t know it was the tomato or the spices but that’s off my list forever. It’s good to know what your limitations are. Back when I was a heavy drinker I used to say that “Every once in awhile I gotta get drunk just to remind myself why I shouldn’t do that anymore.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Keepin it simple today. Just four lamb burgers fried up on the flattop and topped off with some butter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m in the process of reading Toxic Superfoods by Sally K Norton. In it I just read this morning the numerous different ways that oxalate overload can affect our bodies. One of those ways is in achey joints. Many of the symptoms you describe seem to fit in with oxalate overload. It can take years for the body to process them out of us and judging by how many of them that are in our bodies from the years of eating the SAD it’s no wonder we sometimes have issues even after we’ve been carni for awhile.

Welcome and congratulations on your success so far. I developed a few rashes that came and went on my wrists at about the six month mark. A heartbeat of 65 is perfectly normal. As I’m typing this mine is 60. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lamb fajitas minus the grilled onions and peppers. Instead of brushing the Egglife wraps with butter and then toasting them in the skillet I brushed them with lamb fat left over from cooking the lamb skirt steak. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I wasn’t such a big bad he-man biker dude I’d almost cry. I have been a carnivore for 380 days now and as of today my cardiologist has taken me off of my last heart medication. He says I’ve done more to heal myself than anything he could have done for me. If I’m still doing good in six more months he will take me off of his patients list. Carnivore truly heals. I’m so happy. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
