Geezy

The weather finally cut us some slack so I was finally able to smoke my bacon yesterday after a ten day cure. Two hours later it’s ready to pull off the pit. After being refrigerated over night it was time to slice it. About ten pounds. The best part is cooking up the end pieces and scraps. I could eat on that all day. Then for dessert a small bowl of homemade yogurt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For those who have reached their weight loss goals or are close to it, have your friends or family told you that you’re too skinny. Mine have. While I’m lighter than I’ve been since I was a teenager my waist size is still not at my thinnest. Whereas I was a 40 + inch waist I’m down to a 34 inches but in my prime I was a 32. Also there’s still some belly on me. What I find funny and maybe a little sad is that we as Americans have have become so overweight as a society that when we see someone who is actually at the normal weight and body size they should be they are labeled too skinny. I love studying and researching history and a common denominator I see in the old photos of our past is the body composition of those who came before us. The majority of people were thin and wiry. It’s amazing how social norms have changed in just a few short decades. Personally I love being called too skinny and it wouldn’t hurt my feelings none if I got even skinnier.

I had a fairly large raised bed garden and I was conflicted as to what I would do after becoming carnivore. Since I give away much of the produce left over from what I couldn’t consume I considered just giving away all I produce next year but the more I thought about it the less desirable it became. So I dismantled my garden and I’m just going to quit Al together. I still have some canned vegetables left from last year that I still need to give away. I have several neighbors that I make jujube butter for from my tree but I just don’t have the desire to make it anymore even though I’ve got three gallons of jujube’s in the freezer from last year’s harvest.

Three over easy eggs on top of three chaffles along with a couple of slices of bacon for my first meal. Then this evening I made a couple of liverwurst sandwiches using chaffles and my homemade liverwurst. Then for a little dessert I had a little homemade yogurt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great! I’m with you on the devils in the cheese. I read labels almost religiously trying to keep my foods as clean as I can. After getting the idea of queso in my head I was at the grocery store and decided to look at the old standard for making queso, velveta. Wow! There is so much crap in that stuff that it shouldn’t be labeled food. Thanks for the recipe. I may try it with Oaxaca or Queso fresco. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I completely agree with you @Orweller. I saw this as a, supposedly, more accurate measurement than the standard BMI that we all know is not accurate. I just found it to be intriguing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes sir and this morning it was 8°F. Not my cup of tea. Fried baloney, I love me some fried baloney. It’s really good smoked too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s coming Bob. My skin is very thin and my wife is always pointing out that I’m bleeding again. I’m constantly bumping something or scratching myself on something (you really don’t want to see me after working on a barbed wire fence). I’ll be bleeding and don’t even know I’m injured because I don’t feel it. It also doesn’t help that I take an aspirin everyday to help thin my blood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would think it’s all good to try. I’ve had goat cheese and I like it better than bovine cheese. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never seen this one before. No idea if there’s any chance it could be accurate but my calculations show that I should be at 169lbs. I can dig it. Especially since I’m hovering near that weight now. Any thoughts on this? https://planetcalc.com/35/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was going to smoke some bacon today but it’s 11° out there so I figured it would be too difficult to maintain temperature on my smoker so instead I made a couple of pounds of liverwurst using beef liver from our own cattle. And then I seared a couple of lamb chops (also from my own lambs) and a couple of venison roasts then put them in the crockpot with some bone broth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stay away from any dairy that is labeled skim, partially skim, 2%. You only use full fat or whole milk products. It’s also said to not use Ultra Pasteurized milk but I’ve never seen any of that in the stores. What we are wanting to consume in the dairy products is the fat. If the dairy is labeled skim then the fat has been removed and all that is left is the lactose and lactose is just sugar. Cream, whole milk cheese and fermented dairy are ok to eat.

I bruise easily but that’s because I’m old. I’ve had what I call old man’s skin for quite awhile now. Carnivore hasn’t done anything to reverse it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh yeah, that was another whole level of stupidity during that time. I literally wanted to start throat punching people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you can tolerate dairy and it isn’t a trigger food that causes you to have cravings and over indulge then it shouldn’t be a problem. Just introduce it slowly. Eat some and then wait for at least 3 days and see if there are any changes. If not, do it again and see what happens. If you’re in tune with your body you’ll know whether you can handle it or not. I personally would not ingest dairy in the form of milk. I’m in the camp that once we are into adulthood it just just isn’t needed in our diets. But with that being said, I do eat cheese, sour cream and yogurt but only whole milk or heavy cream. I make my own yogurt out of heavy cream. It’s delicious. Don’t concern yourself with raw dairy especially if it’s not legal. Pasteurized is just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve eaten many things including calf fry’s, that I harvest myself and bugs both live and cooked. Yeah, I fall into the category of being willing to try anything once. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds good but where does the Type A, Type B come in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never thought of eating alpaca before but now I want to try it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well Bob I hope the people in your neck of the woods have more common sense than they do here in the south. I went to the store today to pick up some pork belly for making some liverwurst this weekend and the store was packed with people stocking up like as though there was another ice age coming. Gas stations were packed as well. You’d think people would realize that even in Texas it freezes every winter. I just took my pork belly home and then went fishing. That’s my way of getting prepared.

Awesome! Now you’ve got to post that queso recipe. I make queso but it’s not carnivore. If want a new experience to that your queso over the top, smoke it. Good stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] I’m safe then. I’ll just stick with bbq baloney. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to know but I’m so country that I don’t even know what that is. [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
