Geezy

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.

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.

I’ve been a carnivore for over three years and have never tracked my ketones or macros. The only thing I’ve ever tracked was my weight and my body measurements.
I believe some people can overthink this carnivore lifestyle and make something that’s so simple into something complex.

I would add to that, yes, there is great benefits to eating only meat over eating only vegetation and that is metabolic healing. 16 different ailments in my body reversed or healed by eating a meat only diet. Carbohydrates were killing me. Meat healed me. Sounds like a benefit to me.

Sure you can…if you scramble them. 😁

Rolling smoke on 12 racks of Dino ribs this morning.

As of this writing 1199 days.

I've not tracked anything except for protein on workout days and even then I do it less and less as time goes on.
Apparently we are the same as vegans smh.
Think about it logically.
If you have to supplement on your diet it cannot be what we evolved on (or designed).
Vitamin b12 comes to mind.
Our ancestors weren't chugging b12 supplements lol.
The only thing I supplemented was magnesium back in my keto days as I assume I had low reserves.
I've not supplemented anything for 5+ years on carnivore.

I will fight the vegans with their own weapon
Extra poison damage from the mouldy cucumber.

Always happy to help these sorts of people.
Despite the attacks in the comments you get people like this guy.
Makes it worth it.

Teddy being a snuggly fella.
