Carnivore in perimenopause
Fatigue can be normal early on in carnivore as your body is adapting from burning glucose for energy and fat for energy. If it continues on I would look at my fat intake, might need more, and my electrolytes, may need to start taking them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Truth
TRUTH Do you shy away from telling people, especially your doctor that you are carnivore? Do you instead just say things like I’m low carb or I just don’t eat sugar and highly processed foods? I know I have. And I know why I did it and that was because of fear. Fear of ridicule. Fear of being berated. Fear of not being able to defend my position. But I’ve come to the realization that as long as we stay in the shadows we can never be accepted. More and more studies and doctors are coming around to the truth that is carnivore and keto. The truth that mainstream medicine has been wrong all of these years. Unfortunately thought it is still a small niche. It is said that there have been no long term studies on the effects of a ketogenic diet on the human physiology and that may be true but this is where my realization comes in…we are that long term study, but no one will know about it or be able to document it if we aren’t honest with our doctors and those we encounter. Our doctors document every visit and every test we take and if we have the courage to be honest with them, no matter what, they will be documenting what we are doing and if we all do this then the medical community will be forced to see the truth in us and eventually all of this data may be compiled to show the world the truth that is carnivore and keto. At my last doctors visit six months ago I failed to tell my doctor the truth about my new way of eating. I just said very low carb and no sugar or processed foods. No, I wasn’t lying but I wasn’t telling the whole truth and I was doing a disservice to our lifestyle. He thinks I’m just doing a restrictive SAD. That was because I didn’t have the courage to stand up for my convictions and I believe that was due to not being knowledgeable enough or prepared enough to defend my beliefs. That will not happen again. I have my regular six month checkup next week and the truth will come out. I’m ready to defend my position and show him that I am the proof that carnivore is the proper human diet. So stand strong in your convictions. Educate yourself so that you have the ammunition and courage to defend your position. Be a part of the study that shows the world that carnivore is the truth.

The Best Steak Sauce Ever
I live in a small town and haven’t found any around where I live so I have to go to the big city (Ft. Worth) and shop at Central Market. You may need to do an internet search to find some nearby. They can be found on Amazon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Redmond's Real Salt - What's your favorite grain size?
Yes that’s what he uses in fact he’s the one that turned me on to it. It’s my go to now for salting my meats when I’m eating. For just seasoning and cooking I use my Redman’s. I tried the Himalayan pink salt but it had too many minerals in it that I was always crunching on. It was like eating food with sand in it. Reminds me of camping out in my boyscout days. The Redman’s will sometimes have that same gritty crunch but not as bad as the pink salt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Meatballs w/ carnivore sauce
Recipe Meatballs Ingredients, • • 1 pound ground meat • 1 pound sausage • 1/2 cup pork rind panko • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated • 1 large egg • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning • 1 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon pepper Place the hamburger and sausage in a food processor. Alternate the meat in chucks to aid in even mixing. Scramble the egg and add it along with all of the other ingredients except the cheese to the food processor. Pulse until mixture starts to combine and flow into a paste. Once the mixture is combined you can add the cheeses and turn the food processor on to thoroughly mix in the cheese. Once it is the consistency of a paste you can stop the mixing and start rolling the mix into meatballs. Do not compact the meatballs but gently roll them into a ball so they don’t become dense. As you can see I wrapped some in bacon. I recommend doing that. Place in the smoker at 250° - 275° until they reach an internal temperature of 165°. If you want to use the oven then set it at 425° for 20 minutes. All done and ready to eat. Serve with a carnivore alfredo sauce, carnivore steak sauce or carnivore gravy. Notes; Any ground meat will suffice. I used lamb burger and hot venison breakfast sausage. You don’t have to use a food processor. You can just use your hands but using a processor gives the cooked meat a much finer texture. Only use cheese if you can tolerate it. All seasoning’s are of course optional depending on your diet and how you tolerate them. I am In maintenance mode and I can tolerate them in limited amounts. I also use white pepper rather than black. The recipe for the sauce is already posted on separate thread.

New to carni and struggling to get the balance right between protein and fat, advice please 🙏
I lost my gallbladder back in 97 but I suffered with IBS for even longer and I eventually developed Crohn’s last year but in just 30 days on carnivore it all cleared up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Feeling very sad, stressed on carnivore.
I don’t really have an answer for you but I will say that everyone I’ve ever heard of that was doing carnivore and has any kind of anxiety, depression or mental health issues find them resolved by becoming strict carnivore and that means no carbs, has seen great improvement or even cured. One month is not very long to start seeing great changes on this WOE. You didn’t get sick overnight so don’t expect to be cured overnight. It sounds to me like you are just going through carbohydrate addiction withdrawals. Hang in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bob is spot on from the technical side. Now I’ll give it to you from the simple side. Cook everything in animal fat. Try to eat only fatty meats and don’t shy away from eating the fat. Use the fat rendering from the cooked meat as a sauce over your meat. If the meat you’re eating is lean, such as chicken, pork, venison, beef with no fat like a fillet or hamburger with all the fat cooked out of it then slather it in butter. Buttery chicken is tasty. For that matter, everything tastes better with butter. Do you drink coffee or tea? If so you could do like I do and make it bullet proof. I have one cup of hot tea in the morning and I add 1 tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of MCT oil to it and then emulsify it in my nutrabullet. Foamy goodness. Within about a month of starting carnivore I lost the desire to eat by the clock (three meals a day) and started to just eat when I got hungry. So now I generally eat just once a day but when I do it’s a lot and loaded with fat. Your rash could really be just about anything and may not even be related to carnivore but if it is you could be a form of oxalate dumping. Don’t overthink this WOE and don’t overthink it.
