If you are eating a proper carnivore diet with the right protein to fat ratios, feel good and your test came out normal then I wouldn’t be concerned.
Mine is almost always foamy but my kidney function is normal.

Nothin beats catching your supper. 10.6 pound blue cat.

Two big beautiful filets and a bunch of belly meat.

Egg washed, coated in pork rind panko and deep fried in tallow. Heart attack style.

First batch done and more to go.
Good eats right there folks. Fresh from lake to table in just a few hours.

Interesting. Have you tried baking small, thin squares of cheddar in the oven until they are crisp? They are like crackers.

My purpose is to free us and free the world from those who rule us with LIES.
"None are as hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The Truth has been kept from the depth of their Minds by Masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
According to my observations and MANY years of research, the suppression of the carnivore diet is part of a much broader situation.
I send data on the untold truths of planet Earth to my email list, including data on the carnivore diet

Ken, I know we all have to find our own journey to health, and I have learned that I cannot simply rely on doctors to guide mine.
Almost four years ago, I had a minor heart attack, bloodwork, and an angiogram. I saw four cardiologists and a nephrologist, and things looked bad. My experiences with the cardiologists were so discouraging that by the time the last one told me point blank that he would crack my chest open for heart surgery, I walked out and never looked back.
I did learn that my body had created its own bypass, and I was very grateful for that.
More than three years later, severe angina finally pushed me to find another cardiologist. I was fortunate to find one who is extremely skilled at treating full blockages with stents. He was shocked that I was still alive based on my test results from three and a half years earlier.
He wants me on cholesterol lowering medication, specifically the two injections a year, and even got Medicare approval for it. That is not going to happen. I trust his skill when it comes to placing stents, but I personally do not want to take additional drugs. For now, I am taking prasugrel and aspirin, but beyond that, even over the counter pain medication is not worth it to me because of the documented effects these drugs can have on the brain.
I trusted my body to take care of me, and it has. Now I am taking care of my body.
I pay attention to how I feel and use that as my guide. I am also done stressing over every test result. For me, constantly worrying about what the next test might show is not healthy either.
When my time comes, it comes. Until then, I am going to live my life and take care of my body the way I believe is right for me.

I wish everyone here the very best in finding their own path to better health. We may not all make the same choices, but I hope we can keep learning, listening to our bodies, and supporting one another along the way.

Hello everyone, I have to get better at posting and just staying active. My personal life is hectic, I have to keep up with my spiritual needs, and we are being fed in an abundance, and that's where my time, or lack of it goes, but I do need the support of the group.
I have been on an ingredient kick; I check the ingredients on everything that I eat now, a lot of these foods are actually fake, the packages don't tell you where their meats come from, most beef comes from a variety of cows, this means that there is a possibility of disease, my chicken is air chilled only, bath cleaning can mean salmonella. I was wondering how come my butter wasn't melting, nor tasting like butter, it is not real butter, Kerry Gold is the best on the aisle, and I am so thankful that they have a cheese now as well. I now understand why Geezy had always said to shred your own cheese, pre-shredded cheese is actually plastic. Please feel free to correct me if my information is not accurate.

@Bob I found that to be the case for me as well. When I was trying to hit the protein target I let the fat content drop some. The combination of eating more and the fat caused me to gain weight. After I stopped hitting the target my protein to fat ratio was still off and even eating less the weight stayed the same or picked up a pound here and there.
Whoulda' thunk butter is a weight loss food? LOL

Thanks for the input. Never thought about that it took me 67 years to get the first clot with the American diet. Being on the carnivore diet has increased my energy to an amazing level. I’ve been watching Dr. Dave Diamond videos on the lies about cholesterol. Great stuff. I’ll let you know how abstaining from the Kiltz ice cream affects my cholesterol data.

Very clever and I like your style.
Asking questions, especially when you know the correct answers can reveal the ignorance of the other person.
I get a lot of pushback when I post on Quora but it’s totally expected when the majority of people are brainwashed and really have no idea about what they are defending.

As would well all but we find that few are receptive to the truth and even fewer are willing to give up their addictions.
The best we can do is be a good example. Be educated and ready to defend our position and be prepared to educate and help anyone who asks questions.

In my opinion I would tell the doctor to go pound sand if he wants to insist on a statin. No one has ever been saved by taking a statin. In fact, there is plenty of evidence to show that those with lower cholesterol levels are more prone to heart attacks than those with higher cholesterol.
Backing off of the heavy cream is certainly a choice you can make and might make for a good N of 1 experiment to see if it helps but personally I don’t think it will do anything remarkable.
You don’t have to worry about blockage. It took a lifetime to get your first blockage so why would you think that you’ll get another blockage in just a couple of years? It doesn’t work like that. Besides, blockages are not due to cholesterol. They are the result of damage to the arterial wall from most likely seed oils and the cholesterol is coming in to try to repair the damage. Don’t damage the arteries in the first place and there will never be blockages.

My diet consists mostly of grass fed ground and pork rinds. I want it to be ketogenic and not to cause diarrhea.

See if this video helps you understand your numbers a little better.

I’m afraid not but you could do a google search for keto/carnivore doctors in your area but there aren’t many.
What I did when I found a new doctor was to look for a DO rather than an MD.
A DO generally try’s to treat the root cause of an issue whereas an MD treats the symptoms. On top of that a DO has more education and training than an MD.

We are here to help Joel.
You’ve already seen the positive results from being a carnivore so you just need to go back to the lifestyle. You’ve proven what works for you.

I'll have to watch it.
Strange usually YouTube videos embed properly.
Ok yeah you have to press enter after you've inserted the link and the embed will show properly.

Fine…I try to learn a new format. You’re killin me Smalls.

Just kidding, it’s fine.

Last night I had fresh catfish dusted with pork panko and cajun seasoning and fried in bacon grease.

A simple beef patty.
Sometimes you just fancy a patty.
Could've waited until it got seared a bit more though but I'm a lazy fella.

My attempt at a medium rare rump steak.
Cooked in plenty of butter of course.

Like anything else it’s a tool. It can be used for good or evil.

Have you seen those videos of how cats react to cucumbers?

Very high ketone levels don’t necessarily mean that you are an effective ketone producing machine. As ketones become very elevated ketone clearance could actually decrease.
Therefore ketone concentrations are not always synonymous with fat burning.
A Ketone meter measures the ketones waiting in the blood steam, it doesn’t count the ketones that have already gone to work.
The number on your meter doesn't simply tell you how many ketones your liver produced
It tells you how much BHB happens to be in your bloodstream at that moment.
If production > utilization→ BHB rises If utilization > production → BHB (*Beta-hydroxybutyrate) falls
If production = utilization → BHB stays stable.
Chasing ketones is not the whole story and neither should it be. If your goal is weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, better glucose control, lower triglycerides and reduced hunger or improved metabolic health then consider instead, what is happening to your waist, your body composition, your glucose, your fasting insulin, your triglycerides and HDL, your blood pressure, your hunger and your energy. How do you feel? If all of these things are moving in the right direction but your ketones dropped a little which metric seems more important?
We can become so fascinated by ketosis that we forget to ask why we are trying to create ketosis in the first place.
Therapeutic ketosis is different from simply trying to improve your health. What is your goal In all of this?
Your ketone meter is a tool.
It is not a metabolic report card.
It measures concentration.
Not ketone production.
Not total ketone utilization.
Not total fat oxidation.
Not insulin sensitivity.
Not body-fat loss.

It’s alway good to educate the ignorant. It’s up to them to learn.
