Thank you also Geezy for the information. That helps me a lot. I thank both you and Bob. Happy Easter

Too many variables to be accurate over just a 24 hour period. You would be better to track over a few weeks and then divide by the number of days. I rarely weigh myself and just go by how my clothes fit. Currently I'm at 160.1 and headed for a final goal around 150. When I get there, I get there. I think it's more about how you feel then what you weigh.

Kelly Hogan recently posted a video where she recommended 2 different models. Each was around $20

Pot roast is so much better in cast iron Dutch oven. I have followed the same recipe in both the slow cooker and instant pot and they don't come close to the cast iron!

I was thinking the same. This forum might be as 'mainstream' as it gets.

I was watching a video on what a vegan "athlete" eats in a day. the amount of crap could fill a small grocery store.

It's already started, lol. Just read the last 3 paragraphs again.
This study from 'down under' will get quickly forgotten about. The Mainstream will fire back with their own pro-plant studies to contradict this study.

And just when I thought I was in a position to provide some applicable information, 'ol' carnivore thru me a curve.
I ate an awful lot since Wednesday. I didn't eat an actual meal since Wednesday morning. I packed all the meats I cooked into quart bags for the trail. Every couple hours I would eat whatever bag I had pulled that morning. I ate off and on, more akin to snacking, all thru the day. Between eating multiple times per day and even late at night as we did night rides I thought my weight would go up. It did not.
I dropped 2 pounds since last Wednesday. Completely unexpected.
Carnivore threw me an 0-2 curve and I whiffed.

Possibly. As a general rule of thumb, don't eat unless you are hungry. Then when you do eat, eat until you are comfortably stuffed (NOT overly stuffed). Basically, comfortably full and satisfied. Don't snack in-between meals. You could technically do 3 meals a day to start, but most people find themselves happy with just the two meals because the fat and protein on the carnivore diet are so satiating. Intermittent fasting starts to come naturally.
3 eggs (210 cals) in the morning would not do it for me. I need like 7-10, lol (490-700 cals) + butter.

This is true as well. For example, if I eat a lot of lean fish and lean chicken, I will get hungry more often and maybe even gain weight. Without sufficient fat, the body will convert that protein into glucose and I won't be using ketones.

This is why I said to try and maybe consume a little more - so the body doesn't go into "conservation mode" because it's under the impression there is a famine or lack of resources. Intermittent fasting will allow time to metabolize what you consume. The occasional extended fast is good when you metabolism is running "high". But then eating low calorie or having a prolonged extended fast will put you back into "conservation mode". So a good routine is 2 meals a day within an 8 (max) eating window, and an occasional extended fast here and there. Some people actually eat one meal a day, but make it count by basically eating 3 meals in one setting (which isn't my thing, lol).

Cast iron for me. One of these days I may get a cast iron Dutch oven.

Happy Easter.
May you all be blessed as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord unto our salvation and sanctification.

Well I do have a military background. 😁

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Mathew.
I’ve seen this a lot in people who get off carnivore and then try to get back on track. I don’t know why this happens but it does seem like the body is saying “Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you”.
There’s a common understanding in the carnivore community that you must eat enough to lose weight. If you don’t your body will go into starvation mode and retain fat as a hedge against leaner times. That may be why you aren’t seeing the weight loss you expect. You also may not be getting enough fat either. If your main food is hamburger and you are not pouring the rendered fat back over the burger as a sauce then I guarantee you aren’t getting enough fat. I don’t care how much fat is in the burger most of it renders out in the cooking.
Try to eat an equal amount of fat and protein. Shoot for 1 gm of fat to 1 gm of protein per your ideal body weight.
Another though also, with working shift work like you are do you get good sleep? I know I didn’t when I had to work nights. Poor sleep can raise cortisol levels and that can definitely have an effect on weight loss.
Hang in there and give it time. Focus on the benefits you are receiving and try to remember that nothing tastes as good as how you feel.

Ox tail are fantastic. It’s one of the first things I cook when I slaughter a beef. 

Thanks,

Came here because my triglycerides have gone up per my recent bloodwork, have been on carnivore almost 2 years with some bumps along the way and triglycerides have never been a problem before. Dr only commented on total cholesterol and wanted to prescribe statin and I refused the statin due to the research I’ve done.
Just started a fish oil supplement to see if that helps because I don’t like sardines

It says

Yeah I know but it doesn’t alway show every thread. It usually only shows me 4 or 5 threads But when I go over to TT there’s might be more.
It may have something to do with me using a phone instead of a laptop.

I thought something looked different.

Fasting so no food for me until Easter. 

Prior planning prevents poor performance. That is five of them but the sixth is a tad bit off-color. 

I fast for helping to treat/eliminate my MS and ankylosing spondylitis. Fasting along with a Carnivore diet have made huge improvements in my life.
The energy I develop during a fast is extraordinary. I feel my best while fasting for sure! It's surreal to me with the effect it has.
As soon as all our leftovers of "Carni-chow" are used up I'm starting another long fast. Might try for a 100 hours "Century fast" this time. My body will let me know how long to go.

why are you fasting? just curious

I fast for the immune system reset. The autophagy and HGH release and then the stem cells pour out into the body are all pluses. On top of that there is killer energy coming out of the fast that lasts two-three-four days. I’m tracking mine but I think my energy baseline is better after several long fasts. Hard to say that for sure but it sort of feels that way.
