Good luck! I picked up the beef hotdogs, I'll get a picture of those and share. Also found chicken sausages which is 1g carb per 3, i'll get a picture of it too.

It was mostly an idea to change up just eating scrambled which works as I mostly just eat the yok out of the boiled eggs anyway but I mix it up with eggs. I need to get a better smoker, sales will be coming out here soon for holidays, in May at least. This is the beef sticks I get from Costco, was able to get a picture of the label to share. Pretty clean except for the "natural flavors", everything else is do-able. I'll have to get label for beef hotdogs also from Costco, not from the same place but I'm going to look into GreenRidge Farm today. https://greenridgenaturals.com/shop/meat-sticks/beef-sticks/original-all-natural-beef-stick/

Yeah, I feel its good for me at the moment, I don't yawn after eating or feel tired but also I can completely eat everything I cook w/o wasting. Granted most of my yawning is my sleep of 6hrs/night could be better.

Yeah - steak and butter girl mentioned it, I feel less tired and less yawning during the day after eating then I spaced out meals.

I may look into the inversion table, I know I didn't like the table's that chiropractors have to "decompress" the back, didn't feel it did much for me. Seems I have left side stiffness/tightness then anything, even the stretch place I go to noticed I'm tighter on my left side then my right when it comes to stretching the hamstrings and such.

I was cooking steaks in butter, it was butter from same Amish place I get my milk from. I always had tough time eating steak but I'm going to change it up a little. Try tallow instead and perhaps get/try a pellet smoker & a small charcoal griller, similar to what I saw on a homestead video but not cheap so it'll be a slow process. Also going to try different steaks, T-Bone, Ribeye, see if perhaps I like a different one. For boiled eggs, something different. I wasn't finishing my scrambled eggs completely and wasting them, although I have 19 chickens and the eggs are "free" though I have to get them organic feed and such. While wife does it all and barely eats any of the eggs, just me eating them. She still stuck on fastfood, I don't get any fast food but I like boiled eggs, the peeling not so much but I can eat 6 of them quick easily. The beef dogs/links are yes processed from Costco, little ingredients but still something to be 1g carb. My farmer has beef bratwurst but always out of stock, maybe with spring/summer, they'll have them come back available. I don't try to get any steaks/ground beef from store anymore and get those from my farmer, including pork items, patties/brats/links. I have bad knees mostly from being overweight and sitting so long/often that I can hyper extend my knees but thankfully if it happens, it's very random but about only reason my knee's "crack" when I stand up. Stretching helps, I do 3miles (10min bike ride) at gym before I lift weights, was doing 20-30min, 8-10miles but it would then make me a bit tired for weights when I got like 8 different sets to do w/ 3 reps each, except Sundays are 8 sets w/ 4 reps each. I definitely look at what is in the processed food when I look at it and try to get it at 1g or less carb if I can't help it but only use butter or tallow now. Even using less salt on my food as prior I was doing probably a bit to much. Since I spaced out my feeding, I haven't been yawning as much when trying to eat up to 2lbs of food in one sitting although it was being stretched out by hours anyway. Doing 3 meals feels a little better and less stress on the body, for me at least, to digest so much at once. It was steak and butter girl where I saw it, unfortunately no forum to sign up on and talk w/ coaches there w/o paying for something. Either way, the idea seems good, perhaps for now it'll work for me at least and then I can go back down to 2x meals or OMAD in a month or so.

Evening! Thought I'd check in, everything same on my end. 3day workout plan, full body, still carnivore. Picked up tallow yesterday to cook and see if it makes steaks a little better for me to eat. Otherwise, started boiling eggs, less scrambled and more boiled. Probably 4 scrambled and 6-10 boiled with some meat. Instead of OMAD I broke it up into 3 meals to make sure I get some more fat/protein, I guess it's called priming(?). Figured better then trying to over cook and not eat everything on the plate. Still 1lb ground beef, eggs, milk, beef sticks/hot dogs. Leaning more on getting stuff from farmer then Costco where I can. Unfortunately touch to find beef bratwurst specifically so I still get pork. Still low back pain but found a local "stretch zone" to help with that 1x/week which is helpful.

My back has been getting better since I cut out the "cheat days", chiropractor just sort of helps releasing a little pressure where needed, found out it seems but a few times, all my spots that needed to be released were on my left side. Was affecting me from raising left leg properly but far better now. Getting a deep tissue massage next friday on my rest day, probably plenty of knots that need to be rubbed out and help with other little things.

I believe it for sure, all my weight shows in my belly. The one time its good to be tall :D. Working on strengthen and straightening my back as I always bent/hunched over at PC and working with chiropractor too.

My issue is finding pants to fit over my thighs, I have tree stumps for legs. I'm 6'4", could be my khaki's. I don't wear jeans specifically but khaki's(relaxed fit) that I get from Walmart, they were brand new and different fit w/o a squeeze 6 months ago or so. My issue with pants are finding things to fit over my thighs that aren't to tight. Carrying around 300lbs for a long time really built my legs. I'm going to limit the milk to 1 cup/day, I'm pretty good with forcing limitation on myself, yet to touch soda in 3yrs and I quit it cold turkey. Other then eggs or butter, that's only daily I have w/ carbs. I know if I added more cardio instead of 20mins at 4 days a week though I tend to do about .6 miles on treadmill, my weight would go down a little faster. Just find cardio a little boring compared to lifting weights.

I guess thats not bad for one avocado since mixing it into as a sauce (one avocado and sour cream or whole fat cream if I can find that) would last a couple weeks or so. I'll get one anyway as it'll be far better then any store bought sauce at this point. My Dr had actually emailed me today about my Cholesterol going up and asked if I was taking the prescribed Zocor 20 mg which I'm going to reply and be honest that I have not and at this moment I do not feel as if I need to. My blood pressure when taken was 110/70 which I don't recall even being under 80 prior. I feel better now then I have since my 20s and of course the wife isn't happy as she swears by the numbers from Doctors and complains carnivore/to much red meat is the issue but I tell her not to worry about it, let me do what is making me feel good, same wife that hasn't gone to the gym with me but 3-4x in 4 months too, unfortunately. I don't keep track of my weight, I was 306 last time I weighted in at Dr Office and when I started Keto, I had graves disease and tanked down to like 220lb real fast and I wasn't doing much exercise if any then but when my graves got better, I went back up to 306 or so. I could probably lower my cream top milk intake for even less carbs or cut it off completely. I did find a herdshare for full raw milk at 1gallon/week which is what I drink now with the cream top anyway, likely same nutrition for carbs and sugar. Already planning to pick up some more steaks and sausage from farmer this Saturday, got enough ground beef but could be helpful to maybe lower intake of ground beef to 3lbs/week and add in a some steaks instead. Had T-Bone that I got from farmer today and it was quite good, I grill my steak either in a pan with butter or I'll do it in my tabletop oven that has a flat iron in it and of course with butter in it so it cooks with its own juices then I've added eggs to the juices still in the pain so that it all gets soaked up into my eggs. However, I used to not be able to fit in 36" waist pants but I can now even at 300 so I know although my weight is not changing much, my body is. I could probably fit in 34s but I'm happy with the 36s w/o needing a belt as I do with 38s. Plus my workout shorts/pants are L (34-36"). Considering I was mostly a fat kid my whole life, it'll be a long journey to reverse all the damage. I'm on TRT gel as I had low TRT about 6 months ago which was causing other self issues with not wanting to do anything but that has such been going far better with the desire to work out again. My fasting is about 16-18hrs/day. Had done a 48 in the past which was fine, got plenty of water and some LMNT. Look forward to what your results may be with lipoids you ordered, only one has my trig's have been under 100, around 62 at one point but from researching around Dr Baker, Dr Barry, and other Drs and/or carnivores via youtube that talked with Dr's about carnivores, I expected my cholesterol to go up and come down once the body does what it needs to do after repairing, no rush on my end. Got a lifetime.

Avocado does have carbs, 16g w/ 18 fiber so i guess -2 but not going to worry about it. Will just use very little sauce andor find hot sauce. Also, I weighted in today at 300lbs, I feel good though so not complaining. I do know muscle weights more then fat, not all that concerned, will see where I am at in 6months

I can believe it, the one I listed is low carb if any at all, depends what the avocado may have. I'll do some investigation, it at least has no sugar/sweeteners, the cumin and garlic may not be needed. so it's mostly sour cream, salt, avocado, lemon juice.

I'll look into them, always like to try some sauces even if a little just to help get certain foods tasty until getting used to them that i won't need sauce. I had a recipe for sauce that was: 1 cup full fat sour cream ½ a large avocado Juice of half a lemon 1 clove grated garlic ½ teaspoon cumin ¼ teaspoon salt & fresh pepper Was a recipe I picked up from Flavcity and he's more on the keto side of diets, was quite good. Glad i was able to find it again.

I'll start adding steak and some other fatty red meat to my meals separate from my lunch. Any good sauces that are low carb? I was using Primal Kitchen Organic BBQ Sauce prior.

At least I know I'm on the right path, feel good so can't trade that for anything. I'll be getting on the research train to see what I can do to bring up hdl and lower tri. Journey never ends.

Thought I'd share after I did some blood work Saturday. Dr only wanted Lipids done this time around. Seems like I just need to increase HDL to make the ratio lower in the "good ratio" Otherwise is this at all a concern? Not on any medications and don't wish to take any if I can safely correct anything just by diet. Still overweight for my height and active for the last 4months but I feel good, maybe could use better sleep but I'm a night owl working a day shift.

I'll at least not over do it, 1-2 cups/day. I don't do "protein shakes". Seems like I'm at least getting a good 1:1 for fat/protein. I'm at least going to try and add liver to my meals if not at least 1 or 2/week and maybe 2-3 steaks. I feel I could add more in my eating window, not a lot more. I do look forward to getting my body fat reduced, all my other blood work has been good this year. I'll know this weekend how it is.

Thank you - I appreciate you doing the math on what I could provide and have so many details. Yes - the milk although creamline/cream top, it does have carbs, 12g/serving carbs & sugar. I do have a cup before eating and a half cup before going to the gym. I can easy change this to one cup before the gym. Closest I could get to from the cow w/o it being so processed like others in store. Hard to find raw milk right from the cow but I bet even that milk has carbs/sugar in it. Drew

Appreciate it!

Morning Bob! Appreciate you doing the numbers and I adjusted the year of carnivore. It was probably late 2022 but more likely Jan 2023, I would look better and healthier if I started in 2013. Having ground beef and eggs daily, well 5days a week hasn't bothered me to much as I change up what I have on the side. Not entirely sure if the beef is 80/20 since it's from a farmer, if I had to guess it could be 85/15 or 90/10. I could ask them and see if they know if not listed on website. The numbers look good as far what you crunched together. I looked at the salmon patties and didn't find them on costco website but it looks like these are the ones https://www.tridentseafoods.com/products/trident-seafoods-alaska-salmon-burgers-3-lb and the milk (cream top https://amishcountrydairy.com/milk-varieties/ creamline but hard to see label) looks to be the same for fat & protein though. As for calories, it looks like I'm doing the right amount if I were to guess where I'd want to be. What would you recommend anything to get it back to 1:1? Last I weighted myself I was 300lbs but this was some time ago and would be getting new weight check next week when I go to Dr for check up on TRT and probably make sure my graves disease hasn't returned (keto/carnivore did fix this earlier in the year after I cut out the pills and went strict on my diet) Thank you! Drew

Evening all carnivores, I just had a question of sorts and maybe advise or guidance. Does anyone else (perhaps other then me) not enjoy steak all that much? I tried ribeye, T-Bone, and even beef stew pieces. I just can't find myself to enjoy the texture as it's always tough to chew. I'm 37(male) with good teeth, no issues eating anything else. I'll describe my daily routine. On a daily basis (except Saturday/Sunday), I've been eating 1lb beef (from a farmer(s)) with 7 eggs (I get eggs direct from the chicken), milk (specifically Amish Country & 2 cups/day) and I also add either 2 burgers (beef patties) or 2 salmon patties (wild caught, both from Costco) along with cooking with butter (2tbs) to add the extra fat and I use sea salt. Average is about 150-200g in protein, I don't know the specific on fat with all that unfortunately nor calories. Protein was easy to pretty easy to gather and I go to gym 6 days a week (5 good days, the 6th day is mostly what couldn't be finished before the gym closed and extra cardio). Saturdays I don't have any of the above and try to use that day as a variety meat day such as adding ribs though it's restaurant purchased and sadly not bare so it has some sort of sauce/rub on it and smoked. I may also try to add some sort of steak even if small. Sundays though I add bison or venison in substitute to beef for the meal plan above but the rest is normally the same. Also, I do fasting, my window is normally 1p-7pm but I don't cook anything more except finish/snack on what I don't eat above to finish it all throughout the day and have milk before going to the gym. Am I safe with just eating above as is, should I add anymore to up my intake of fat somewhere? Or am I pretty good as is? If someone is able to calculate the correct amounts. I do have LMNT (unflavored) and only take it if I feel sluggish/tired. Appreciate the reading of a long message! Drew
