Fried up some fish today using pork rind panko breading. Folks, this is the way to go. I’ve been wanting to try using pork rind as a breading and finally got around to doing today. It’s great. Crispy texture and doesn’t taste like pork rinds. Made an egg wash with one egg and a generous splash of cream then coated the fish and fried them in tallow. And here I thought fried fish was a thing of the past for me but now I can’t wait to go catch a mess of catfish for a fish fry. I also smoked up 40 rainbows today. I’ll shred the meat and use use it to make a smoked trout dip using cream cheese. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve known enough about Statins to get off of them but this tells of their development. Just one more reason for me to keep saying no to my doctor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very true and that average is from people who eat a SAD therefore it cannot be used as a metric to evaluate a carnivore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome Calendyr, Bob is of course spot on with his assessment. If you want to be strict carnivore you need to eat only animal fats, animal protein, salt and water. If you want to be truly metabolically healthy you need to eliminate all seeds, seed oils, sugars and that includes non sugar sweeteners, grains and vegetable matter. I include non sugar sweeteners because they are still a processed food that can and will affect your body and health. In 2014, Israeli scientists made headlines when they linked artificial sweeteners to changes in gut bacteria. Mice, when fed artificial sweeteners for 11 weeks, had negative changes in their gut bacteria that caused increased blood sugar levels. When they implanted the bacteria from these mice into germ-free mice, they also had increases in blood sugar levels. Interestingly, the scientists were able to reverse the increase in blood sugar levels by changing the gut bacteria back to normal. However, these results haven’t been tested or replicated in humans. Lastly, give it time. You are way early into this eating lifestyle. I’ve known of many people who start out having trouble losing weight. Some have even taken months because it just took time for them to become fat adapted. Look up Kelly Hogan. Tremendous testimony from her and just look at what she has accomplished just by hanging in there. Everyone is different and their metabolism reacts differently so don’t judge yourself against what has worked for others. Also, try to remember that this is not a weight loss diet, it’s first and foremost a healing lifestyle. Losing weight is just a side benefit. Good luck on your journey.

Absolutely. When the grasshoppers are plentiful we will catch a bunch and feed them to our chickens for a tread. They have a lot of fun stealing them from each other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely not! That is only a shortcut used by vain people that endangers their health. I used to be a bit of a gym rat and had several bodybuilder friends. Great guys for the most part but all of them were vain or insecure and sometimes both. One of those bodybuilders was a very good friend and i helped introduce him to the cowboy life. He became a good hand but the insecurities and vanity was strong in him. When he competed he was freakin huge and very heavy into the roids. He wasn’t using any kind of back alley stuff either. Is was coming from a doctor. The last ten years of his life he suffered from intestinal issues that the doctors couldn’t figure out and were thinking it might be Crohn’s or something similar. They eventually found spots or tumors on his liver. No treatments helped and they weren’t able to do a transplant because of his condition. He was 55 when he died. There is no proof that it was the steroids that shortened his life but I’d be willing to bet that it was a contributing factor. Stay away from anything that isn’t natural. Look into Natural Bodybuilding, it’s the best way. No shortcuts just nutrition and hard work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a lot of fudging allowed in food labels these days. Manufacturers tend to only tell half truths. Our food is rarely as clean as we are led to believe. I did find the analysis between standard eggs vs the more organic eggs. We’ve always been led to believe that the pasture raised is superior I do believe there is a better flavor.

Treat lamb exactly like you do your beef. It’s a fatty red meat just like beef but tastes different. So when I’m cooking my lamb I’ll season it a couple of hours ahead of time and let it dry brine. If I’m cooking a steak or chop I’ll cook them to rare. If I’m going to slow cook a roast or chops I’ll season and sere in a hot cast iron skillet to get a nice crust on it then just put it in the crockpot with some bone broth and cook on low until it’s fall off the bone tender. Takes about 5-8 hours. 3-4 four hours if done on high. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I put the butter on my burgers immediately after cooking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotta add that to my recipe rotation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting, I’d be willing to try them as long as algae extract didn’t affect me. Being the smallest ingredient on there it probably wouldn’t. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They need a new category. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would like to help but it was making I too hard to do by making me jump through a bunch of hoops going down one rabbit hole after another. Come up with something simpler and I’ll participate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just four scrambled eggs earlier today then I seared a bunch of lamb chops in some beef tallow. Then into the crockpot for an all day cook in some chicken bone broth. Final product, fall off the bone tender and a savory fatty broth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I seer it in a very hot cast iron skillet in beef tallow. I use an instant read thermometer to check it and pull them when they hit about 128°. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I personally do not consider an insect an animal. It’s a bug. When I’ve eaten bugs I said I ate a insect, I did say I ate an animal. [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Big time. He was claiming his body building success was due to eating raw liver and of course the supplements he was marketing but the truth eventually came out. But…to his credit he did come clean and admitted to steroid use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A couple of hamburger patties and eggs. Not very exciting today I’m afraid. But soon I’ll be sharing what I do with these. Got 39 of them in the freezer now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my case the biggest factor was a drunken driving accident. [emoji3525] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t worry about calories. If you are eating animal fats, animal protein, salt and water, then all you need to do is eat when you are full and not eat again until you are hungry. Your body will take care of the rest. By only eating those four things it’s nearly impossible to overeat. Meat satiates you so efficiently that your body will tell you when it’s had enough and when it needs more. Calories” are a measure of heat energy created when you burn something in a calorimeter. Completely useless measure as we do not burn our food, we process it chemically… completely different processes and outcomes. Your weight fluctuates constantly regardless of how you eat, when you eat and how much you eat. It does this throughout the day. In a weeks time my weight might fluctuate 3-5 pounds but it’s the average I look at. Besides that, weight is not a reliable measurement for metabolic health and loss. The tape measure is. The tale of the tape tells all. [emoji57] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At noon I had a big bowl of venison stew. Sorry no pics. This evening after I got home from fishing I had a beautiful lamb steak. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then you haven’t seen many of my posts, Lol! I eat lamb several times a week. In fact I’ll be cooking some lamb steaks this evening. I love lamb so much I raise my own to eat. Glad to see others that like it also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m sorry Andre, I feel like I’ve angered you. If that’s the case I apologize. I was just trying to convey to you what it really means to eat carnivore and I’m afraid that I’m just not very good at explaining what I’m trying to get across with the written word. I’ll just leave it at that and I sincerely hope you find the results you’re looking for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Be aware Lynn that it can take a year or longer for your blood markers to stabilize on the carnivore WOE. As your body is transitioning to a meat based diet things can get a little wacky but it’s all good. Your present numbers look fine to me. Also remember this, the numbers that doctor’s use to determine high or low are just an average comparison of people across a percentage of the population. These people are all people who are eating the SAD so in reality, there is no baseline to judge you by. Your numbers need to be compared to other people who eat the same way you do.
