READ THOSE LABELS! Sorry for raising my voice but it needs to be emphasized. Read those food labels for those hidden ingredients, soy, wheat, seed oils and most especially SUGAR. It really ticks me off that food manufacturers are allowed to hide these non food items in our food and do it most especially by renaming the the sugar so that it’s unrecognizable to the average person. Just because the packaging may say “Sugar Free” doesn’t mean there’s not sugar in the product. It’s no wonder that over 40% of Americans are considered obese. Educate yourself. Here’s a chart to help you decipher the hidden sugars that may be in your food. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh yeah, it ain’t cheap. Like I said, I’d love to get a Wagyu brisket but I’d have to take out a second mortgage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have several ranches in my area that raise Wagyu cattle and we can get it from some of our stores locally. That’s one hamburger meat that doesn’t need added fat. I’ve seen some steaks that are so marbled that they look like there’s hundreds of grains of rice imbedded in the meat. My dream would be to smoke a Wagyu brisket but I’d have to take out a second mortgage on the house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are correct, it’s hard to find any sausage that’s clean. I haven’t had any since becoming carnivore so I haven’t tried to find some. If I can’t find any then I’ll just have to do without the next time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok Bob. I was just wondering because I had to reread it a few times trying to get the meaning of what they were saying but my own understanding of diet and metabolism was prejudicing my reasoning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s mighty good. Better that anything I can buy in the store. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a rather confusing article to me. Is he saying that they used to believe that fat causes obesity and now they are changing their theory to say that fructose is the real cause? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Down here in the south when we do a boil it’s not centered around seafood but instead, crawfish. Man we do love our mudbugs. Always toss in some shrimp, andouille sausage, hard boiled eggs and this next season I’m going to put some oysters in the boil. Aaayyyeeee! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some of the rinds get soft, kinda chewy, which I like and some retain some crunch. I layer some meat, in this case chorizo, then cover in shredded cheddar. I grate my own I done use that pre shredded junk. To melt it I just nuke it in the microwave. I didn’t show it here but a little sour cream is good with them also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s great news. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How about some carnivore nachos. Pork rinds, chorizo and cheese. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not so much anymore. I found, after becoming carnivore, that I really didn’t care for chicken that much. In the past I always ate fried chicken and yes, I loved it but I realize that it wasn’t the chicken I loved but the deep fried flour and skin. I will eat some roast chicken but I’ve got to drown it in butter to make it palatable to me. That includes turkey also. In my food pyramid chicken is the at the very tip of the pyramid.

I can’t really add anything to what Bob said other than just keep it simple. Don’t overthink this way of eating. It’s really easy and freeing. Just eat fat, meat, salt and water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even where I find fresh seafood I’ve never seen mackerel, herring or eel. The only place I’ve ever see fresh eel for sale was in South Korea. I eat sardines, mackerel and herring but it’s always from a can. Just can’t get around that. I like eel but I’ve never come across it in America. Now fresh salmon and tuna I can get and I make the most of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent point in tasting bad. It’s a plant’s defense mechanism to try to ward us off of them. When my son introduced me to carnivore I had a garden. I grew only what I liked to eat or thought I liked, and my some asked me what it was I like about eating vegetables. I said they tasted good. He said do they really? Can you cook and eat the vegetables without putting anything on it or do you have to put dressing, sauces, butter and seasoning to make them palatable? Does anybody eat a salad of just plain lettuce or do they like the cheese, egg, meat dressing that goes in it? Wow, that was so logical and made so much sense. I can eat meat with nothing on it and I can enjoy it but I can’t do that with any veggie save one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I only use egg and cheese in mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. I can buy half slabs at our H‑E‑B stores that has the skin/rind already removed or I can go to one of several butcher shops around me and buy a whole slab and remove the skin myself. Every now and then I like to by the whole slab so I can make cracklins from the skin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s fantastic! It totally makes sense because as our bodies become metabolically healthier our bodies become strong enough to fend off infection and illness. This has been seen in carnivores who have recovered in half the time as other family members who have had viral infections. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve experienced some itchy rashes and experienced some of what you’ve talked about but I don’t really know if it was oxalate dumping or just some kind of topical dermatitis. I’m not sure that anyone can say for certain that anything we experience during these times are OD or something else. I have read, by some who claim to know, that it can go on for several years. It’s also my understanding that spinach is one of the highest oxalate containing vegetables there is. Stay the course and let it play out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good points. It’s also good to point out that our ancestors got minerals naturally through the water they drank and foods they ate. Unfortunately our soils have been depleted of their minerals from over farming and our water supply cannot be trusted. I have well water which was a great source of natural minerals but it was so heavily laden with minerals that it was calcifying everything in my house so I had to install a soft water system and filters.

Define “Healthy” lol! It’s such a subjective term. Which looks healthier? Hard to say really. To me the one on the right, pink shirt, looks better but that could be influenced by the different color tones in the photos. The other guy looks weaker to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eat what you want as long as it doesn’t affect your health and or weight. Foods affect us all differently depending on where we are at metabolically. They are low in carbohydrates and high in fat so they are definitely the better choice. Personally I will not eat any nut of any kind because it is a seed and I will not consume seeds. If you tolerate them then enjoy them. Because of their high fat content they may be less bad that other nuts. I don’t believe fats from plants are as good as fats from animals but I have no proof to back that up either. Often I hear from people that say they don’t like to eat fat but I wonder if they are talking about just eating gobs of fat on a steak or pork or are they talking about rendered fat as well. If you don’t like to just eat a chin of fat like what’s on your meat, you can increase your fat intake by just cooking your food in tallow, lard, ghee or butter. Put a couple of pats of butter on your steak. Put some butter in your coffee or tea and emulsify it in. Just a thought. Good luck and good carnivore health. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
