You can also get an electrolyte panel...

It's also worth noting that nighttime cramps may have other causes that are unrelated to electrolytes. You can start with the blood test, and you might see where you can add or back off on certain electrolytes. But it's things look fine, we night have to keep digging.

The standard blood test used to check electrolytes is usually called a Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) or a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP).
These tests commonly measure:
Sodium
Potassium
Chloride
Bicarbonate (CO₂)
Calcium (on many CMPs)
Kidney function markers like creatinine and BUN
Glucose
A CMP includes everything in a BMP plus additional liver-related tests and proteins.
If someone is specifically concerned about hydration, muscle cramps, weakness, heart rhythm issues, medication effects, or conditions affecting electrolyte balance, doctors may also order:
Magnesium
Phosphorus
Sometimes ionized calcium or other specialized labs

Way to go. That looks good.

Busy day cooking today.
2 pounds of liverwurst.


1 chuck roast (fire grilled but in the crockpot now)
1 large heart


2 pounds of hamburger patties
3 pounds of tablitas

Hard to beat meat cooked over a wood fire

Some friends invited us over for dinner yesterday. Their daughter is also carnivore (whom I regularly coach/converse with) so they knew how to accommodate me. They had nachos with taco fixin's, but for me had bought a bag of high quality pork rinds. I topped them off with the seasoned beef, chicken, sour cream, and cheese. It was delicous and I was able to "fit right in" and crunch along with everyone else, lol.

12oz steak today cooked in butter:

The last two nights have been a couple NY strips, maybe 14oz each with a protein shake in the mornings.
I think this will be my routine for the coming weeks.

Welcome back @Meathead - You've been missed.
As our resident Texan often says "Nothing tastes better than how I feel" - @Geezy

This is probably the easiest way to make a pseudo smash patty.

So essentially you take 500 grams of beef mince and use a burger presser to smash it down.
I pressed it down until it fit the whole pan.
Salt liberally.
I then cooked it until I started to smell burning because I'm too lazy to set a timer.
Flip.
Cook again til you smell burning.
And Voila.
Plate and pour residual fat and wait about 5 mins so the meat can marinate in its own succulent juices.
Enjoy.
Pics included for reference.

Glad to have you back brother.

If you’re new or struggling or just wondering if your doing carnivore right now check out Dr. Hampton’s latest video.

Ahoy meatie, congratulations on your anniversary.

I’m gonna have to try sauerkraut with eggs.

Tzatziki goes great on an omelette, with burger, ground lamb, and much much more. It's a great sauce/additive and not really that big of a "cheat", if at all.

I took a hiatus from all things carnivore while in-laws were here from back home.
I gave into the food nonsense proving a point as to why the shit they're eating/drinking/supplementing
with is garbage.
Weigh in starting August 2025 - End Feb 2026
I was the ONLY one to lose weight throughout this endeavor.
Coming back into 0 carbs after 6 months of garbage in garbage out was tough, worse than quitting drinking.
Yes I even tried to drink (sipped my fav porter/whiskey and it made me gag. But the carbs were so easily
consumed but the side effects were not easily dealt with.
I shot up 45 lbs, my fatty jeans were brought out for work.

Today I'm down 20lbs, feeling 30ish again and on top of the world.

Never say never.....

I'm bipolar, recovering alcoholic and anything is possible when you see what can happen thru PATIENCE.
Just remember how booze makes you feel and what you accomplish when you're drinking (or not accomplishing) and the same goes
for the FOOD noise aka carbs/sugars etc.
I refuse to feel like crap and give in because QUITTING is easy and nothing in life comes without putting effort into something.

For all our mothers both past and present I would like to thank you and bless you for all you have done. May God bless you all abundantly.
“Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: “Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.”

This may be very true. We know that they kept flocks of sheep, goats, cattle but other than sacrifice we have no mention of why they kept these animals. I would tend to believe that other than sacrifice we probably used their hides and hair for clothing and the meat for food. I just can’t fathom the meat going to waste. We know that in the mosaic laws much of the sacrificial meat was eaten. There just isn’t any written word on it though.
I’ve got a lot of questions to ask when I get to meet my Lord.

Congratulations. Apparently our caniversarys are the same.

Welcome me to carnivore talk daddy.
Man, that’s a lot to digest. I’ve come across a few people that had some issues in the beginning but yours tops them all. As with most people who struggle in the beginning it could be that you just aren’t fat adapted yet and need to stick it out longer. You also may need to add some healthy carbs back in and transition slower.
I hope you can turn this around.

With the parents' permission you should make that a publicly visible short.
Now I want to film babies trying steak, lol
