We see this all of the time. Usually it’s a woman. Women have a harder time losing weight due to their hormones. Until their metabolisms are fixed they can have hormonal imbalances that can affect their weight loss. A Utube influencer, Kelly Hogan, didn’t lose weight for six months but she was in it to heal and since she was seeing improvement she stuck with it and after six months started losing. Take a look at her now. Skinny as a rail. Many people are impatient and start posting about their failures after only a week or two on carnivore. They often have higher expectations than reality allows. Then there’s the ones who don’t really understand how this WOE works. Have never done their research and then do it wrong not understanding the bodies mechanism's in relation to fat and weight loss. Some won’t get off the dairy and eat it like a meal. Thats almost a guarantee for failure. Then there are those that just aren’t honest with themselves. They say they’re eating carnivore but they continually eat outside of their diet and kicking themselves out of ketosis. Other than just naturally hitting a plateau like we all do, there is generally a good reason why but it’s not the carnivore diet itself but an underlying factor. I try to encourage people to reexamine their diet anytime they say they can’t lose on carnivore. Sometimes it may be that they are doing everything right but just need more time. Each body is different and reacts differently to carnivore so we can’t compare ourselves to anyone else. We are each on our own journey. Some people may need to do something like a fast to get things kick started. It pays to experiment sometimes but I think everyone needs to be more patient and give it time to heal their metabolism before doing too much. In this microwave generation we are used to instant gratification. Food hot and ready in a minute. Information as quick as you can click on a keyboard. Packages ordered at our the next day. Lol! No wonder we expect instant weight loss but us old timers come from a time where it took 30-45 minutes to heat up leftovers. If we wanted to learn something we had to go look it up in the encyclopedia or take a trip to the library. When we mail ordered something we had to wait 6-8 weeks to get it. By the time it arrived we had forgot we even ordered it. lol. I guess that’s why us old folks have more patience than the younger folks. We had no choice but to be patient.

You process the science and the concept of the whole carnivore diet right there.

Wish I could find clean kielbasa in my area.

Sounds logical but when you butcher an animal it’s easy to see the fat. Then, prior to the flood all of mankind was vegetarian. We didn’t start eating meat until after the flood or at least there’s no mention of eating meat until then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And this is how we learn. It’s good that you recognize it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have done the research and contacted the company and Mac’s are fried in their own fat. They are clean. There are others that are as well but I can’t remember which ones. Since Mac’s are readily available to me locally, I have not needed to look further. I guess pork rinds and cracklins are pretty much a southern thing so they may be harder to find up north.

No pics today because we went out to eat. My wife and daughter wanted to meet up for lunch at a cafe in town. It was a little early for me being at 11:00 am but I went ahead and ordered ala cart. 4 eggs, two ham slices and six rashers of bacon. Of course the eggs were probably cooked in seed oils but I’ll live. It wasn’t a very satisfying meal so later this afternoon I ate some chuck roast swimming in fat. That did the trick.

Congratulations on putting down the booze. That is one of the very few things I’ve never become addicted to and back in the day I practically lived at the bar and I spent seven years working in bars as a bouncer. If I wasn’t working I was drinking. It was a way of life. Heck, I measured mileage on how many beers it took me to get to my destination. My dad was a functioning alcoholic ( after serving in three wars who wouldn’t be) but I had no trouble putting it down whenever I felt the need to. Since I became a carnivore I’ve just lost interest in it altogether. I had a sip of Jameson about a month ago and just dint have the desire to drink it. The lobster and crab look great. Have you ever tried smoking your lobster? I smoked some Caribbean lobsters a couple of months ago and they were great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That sounds like an extensive program you have there just on your hair and scalp. I cured my dandruff that I’ve had ever since I first grew hair longer than 1/16th of an inch so that’s been about 55 years. I’ve had to use progressively stronger dandruff shampoos over the years until I was using the strongest there was OTC. I’ve been dandruff free for a year now. In the last month I was read about how chemicals in our soaps and shampoos can affect us and so I started experimenting with my hair. I stopped shampooing it every day and went one week without washing it. Every night I’d just rinse my hair under the shower and vigorously massage my scalp. After my hair dries I can’t see any difference in my hair between shampoo washing and just plain water. Now I’m on a soft water system that’s also filtered of impurities so maybe that’s the difference. So this time I’m going to go two weeks and see how it works out. I’m on day nine now and my hair still looks and feels great and so does my scalp. 650 days ago I couldn’t have gone two days without scrubbing my hair with dandruff shampoo or I’d be going nuts.

He does a much better job of explaining it than I can. This is what I’ve experienced and what most carnivore experts believe too.

That’s fantastic Scott. I really like how you said that getting fat was your decision. Owning up to it is the first step to change. Congratulations man, you are quite the inspiration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I’m over a month now with no dairy and while I think I’ve it whooped a little twinge still crops up now and then. I finished a fresh batch of my homemade yogurt today and it my was extremely temping to dive it but I was able to resist without too much trouble. I keep thinking that I want to make an omelet until I realize that oh, yeah, I don’t eat cheese anymore. So I think it’s not so much a craving anymore but a habit and a remembrance of how much I like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t get the boring thing. I’ve never gotten bored eating this way but I think it’s because I do cook a lot of different meats in a lot of different ways so I’ve got a lot of variety. We are only limited by our imagination. I’m an old fart so the whole dating scene these days is nuts but I can tell you this, there is no woman worth me wrecking my health over. My bride and I have been together for 42 years but I wouldn’t change my diet for her or anyone else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Carnivore pancakes and eggs. Then some slow cooked chuck roast swimming in fat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah just keep that heat turned down to as slow a simmer as you can. You could also pressure cook it but I don’t think it renders as well that way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that’s a bunch of bovine excrement. You don’t created stones from just a few months on Carni or any other diet for that matter. He had those stones for years from eating oxalate rich foods. What can happen on carnivore is that kidney stones that are already present can shrink and then slip down the urinary tract. Everyone is always trying to bash the carnivore lifestyle with fear mongering, false science and just plain ignorance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s cool and I hope it works for you but the science and the millions of carnivores around the world have proven that eating a high fat diet does allow you to also burn body fat. I’m not saying don’t move. I’m just saying it isn’t necessary to lose weight. You can’t out run your diet. You will find that your energy level will go up making you want to move move more but your weight loss will be more attributed to what you eat rather than how much you move. Sure by moving more you will burn more energy and that can help but If a person eating SAD ran a mile every day he’d lose a little but it wouldn’t be a significant amount. That’s been proven many times. That’s why every weight loss plan that requires exercise also requires changing the diet. It’s not the exercise so much as the diet. I’m not a big believer in CICO simply because a calorie is nothing more that a measurement 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. Folks lose weight/fat on carnivore because they cut carbs from their diets, not because they cut calories. In fact, you can lose weight/fat on carnivore even when you increase the total calories you eat because (1) carbs turn into glucose (in fact they are glucose) which if not burned immediately for energy get stored for future energy as fat by insulin. (2) Eating fat increases your metabolic rate of energy consumption. Because eating fat does not increase insulin,stored fat is free to leave adipose storage to be used as fuel. On carnivore it will be used as fuel because by restricting carbs it’s the only fuel available. So what it boils down to is the quality of the food we eat and what it does to our body. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for you trying this. It may work for you and if it does then it just proves what we always say and that is we are all different and there’s no set rules to this way of eating. We all have to find what works for us as individuals. I looking forward to your N of 1 results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How often are you eating? Most carnivores end up eating just once or twice a day because we only eat when we are hungry. These days there is no way I could eat by the clock again. I’d have to force myself to eat. As Bob said you are satiated. That’s a good thing because it tells me you are eating right. The other thing is and I’m just guessing here is that it could be that you are burning up fat stores more than burning off what you are you’re eating and so your hunger signals are being suppressed. When our bodies are running off of ketones we just don’t get hungry like we used to. When we ate carbs all of the time we could never get completely satisfied and had to eat every couple of hours but now we can go much longer and even when we do get hungry it’s just not as intense.

Long past that stage for me. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve eaten my fair share. Steak tartare, Mett, Parisa, Sushi, Sashimi, Ceviche and Poke. I enjoy them all. I like my steaks cooked blue to rare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome to Carnivore Talk John the Skeptic. Glad to have you aboard. I think it’s a very good defense mechanism to be skeptical. It can help you from getting scammed and makes you want to do your own research. We have another T1 diabetic on here that new to carnivore and I believe you could be a big help to him.

I don’t know why you are getting away with it but hey, if it’s working for you then carry on man. I just know I’m not going to chance it. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a man so I don’t use anything. I’ve seen where many women are using skin care products made from tallow and a quick google search came up with a bunch of them. I imagine Amazon has plenty as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After about 7 hours it rendered down nicely. Straining out the tallow from the rendered fat. Filling the mason jars. Finished product. 5 pounds of solid fat finished out to 3.5 jars of liquid hold and two bags of rendered fat bites. The fat bites are great snacks if a craving hits and I really like mixing a few in with scrambled eggs for some added flavor and fat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
