Screw these turncoat.
He needs to go live with Trudeau.
Too much drama crap on FB for me to come back.

I'm a cat man now,after six dogs and two horses. This cat just moved in a few years ago. Vet guessed he had lived in the woods for a year or two.
He came to me when I was eating sausage on Sauna porch. He took some sausage when I had gone inside, even looking at him scared him away. It took two weeks to lure him inside the house and he has been happily hunting and eating mice here ever since. Only the guts are left. He sleeps on us now and obviously has a good life, thanks to mice. He has not "destroyed" anything out of frustration because he can hunt.
Name "Hippu" would be "Nugget" in english. He comes to me with a whistle like a dog.
We never thought of a cat, "no we can't have a cat,where would we put it...? Then Hippu simply moved in and is great company.

 

Speaking of bad habits… 
2021 Can Am XMR Trail 1000. We ride the Hatfield & McCoy trails in West Virginia a couple three times per year. Our group had 16 machines last time. Massive group but great time. 
 
I should have taken up checkers instead of hot rods and motor sports.

I taught my wife's dog this trick and she was as mad as anything I have ever done.
I think it was the command tho.
"Hit by a dump truck pose".
She would flop over in this very position, on her back/legs up.
Not my best move.
Good looking dog. Have you figured out how to bottle up the heeler/shephard energy and have it for sale?
If so, I'm buying.

You know the funny thing is that people really have been eating this way since the dawn of time, thousands and thousands of years, Protein and fat has been their main thing they consumed. Indians and many others including traders in the 1800's and so, people who built this country ate primarily a protein diet. They did have gardens and farms, but you are talking about an era that there were no real contamination of pesticides and chemicals the way we have it today. Everything basically today is man made, with dangerous toxins and chemicals to the point are poor bodies cannot handle any of it. They are reacting back, first time in history all of us are in serious trouble because of this era. Which really makes no sense to me at all, we seem to know it all, but apparently, we haven't learned much, because if we don't remember where we came from our past, we are doomed. The other thing we allow toxins and different chemicals in our food and environment WHEN other countries in Europe and well many others, will not allow it in their food or environment. Like roundup, they still sell it to this day when they know it has a link to cancer and there was a huge lawsuit over it. Just makes no sense at all. 
 
This makes sense, people who traveled and walked on foot for miles and miles, people who lived outside 24/7 in tents and igloos and teepees, and cabins. People who built this country, if they didn't die by freezing to death, animals, war or some other personal clash or accident, they lived and thrived. American Indians and the Eskimo people are a living testament to this today. They lived off of the animal, every part, and in winter, like south Dakota and other areas there was no vegetation to thrive on and if there were, it was frozen over or covered. Some of these Indians lived well into their 90's and above, even today some Okinawan's elderly have lived over 120 years, they eat a lot of protein and thrive. Now here's the sad part, some on the mainland have started to eat a western diet, and now many of them are also becoming obese and have a diabetes and other diseases.

Yes eating by schedule is engrained into us by indoctrination from society. 
I marched to my own tune from jr high school.  Didn't follow the crowd etc.
Eat when you're hungry until satiated and nevermind what others say or think. 
 

To expand on that I’d like to point out that we as carnivores try to imitate how our ancestors ate as far as the type of food we eat but we often continue to eat as modern man eats. I don’t believe that early man ate by any schedule but only when he was hungry. Early man did not have a concept of time but he knew when he was hungry. When he was hungry he either grabbed some leftover meat or he went hunting and when he ate he ate until he was full. 

It’s been my experience and it’s also recommended by many in the carnivore community such as Dr. Baker that we should not eat by the clock or socially but only when we are hungry. 

Some of my bloodwork has been posted.
The only thing out of the norm is my Urea-Nitrogen (BUN) number jumped from the 16-17 it has been for years to 24.
One of the causes can be a high protein diet. 
I have had two panels ran since I started Carnivore and the previous two were 16 and then 17 about 3 months or so in. Today showed a significant jump.
As of late I have been eating a lot more. I have been lifting a bit more and have also been eating more to have enough protein to build muscle. I6 does not feel excessive but I am not sure. I eat a couple three, sometimes four eggs in the morning. If we have leftover meat from the night before I eat that too. I then eat again at night with my wife. Still strictly carnivore, but I am eating more than I feel like eating (if that makes sense).
I think I will ease back to eating when I am hungry which will be about OMAD and see if numbers track down. First time I seen those numbers go up ever, and the only thing changed is I purposely increased protein the last few weeks/month ago.

So true. Well said by all posters.

Exactly! 
There is a diet known as the Bible diet in which you only eat the foods that were eaten in biblical times. The fallacy with that is those foods no longer exist. We have taken what God gave us and reengineered it to suit our own purposes.

Well it was nice until they fell off the wagon about saturated fats.
The brain is fat and needs fat.

Why a healthy brain requires a meaty diet
Story by Emily Craig
 
Nutrients from meat such as steak help bone health, fertility and immune function© Provided by The Telegraph We all think we know what we should be doing to keep our brains fit, whether it’s learning a new language, socialising or getting enough sleep. Among this catalogue of habits, eating a juicy steak is unlikely to be at the top of your list.
But it should be, according to one Harvard-trained psychiatrist who specialises in nutrition science and brain metabolism. She recently claimed that the brain “needs meat” because it is jam-packed with nutrients that are either difficult or impossible to get from plant sources.
Scientists and nutrition experts seem to agree. “Animal-sourced foods – meat, fish, dairy and eggs – are nutrient-rich foods,” says Alice Stanton, a professor of cardiovascular therapeutics at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, who has authored reports warning against shunning meat from our diet. A diet that consists exclusively of plant-based foods risks the brain as well as bone health, fertility and immune function, she warns.
Why is meat good for the brain?
Meat, particularly red meat, is one of the best sources of zinc. A 250g steak contains around 10.3mg – surpassing the daily recommended intake for men (9.5mg) and women (7mg).
Failing to include enough of this mineral in your diet can lead to cognitive impairment – difficulties remembering, learning and concentrating – according to Dr Katherine Livingstone, a senior research fellow at the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia.
B12 – a vitamin found only in animal products – is another reason to eat meat, as it is vital for the healthy function and development of brain and nerve cells. “Deficiencies may impact on our memory, thinking and social abilities as we age,” Dr Livingstone adds. 
Adults are advised to eat 1.5 micrograms (mcg) per day. Liver (100mcg per 120g), beef (4.4mcg per 250g) and chicken (0.53mcg per 150g) are among the most potent sources.

Eating enough of this macronutrient can lower the risk of dementia by a fifth, according to a study from the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. This may be down to protein supporting the function of neurons in the brain, the scientists suggested.
UK health advice sets out that people need around 0.75g of protein per kilogram of body weight, which equates to around 56g per day for men and 45g for women.
Per 100g, chicken (32g), pork chops (31.6g) and lamb chops (29.2g) are the richest sources. For comparison, plant-based sources of protein – such as tofu (8.1g), red lentils (7.6g) and chickpeas (7.2g) – can contain just a quarter of that amount for the same serving size. 
Prof Ian Givens, the director of the Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health at the University of Reading, notes that meat also contains docosahexaenoic acid, a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that maintains brain and neurological function – though oily fish contains even more.
Selenium is a mineral that protects cells from damage and is vital for brain signalling. Men need around 75mcg per day, while women should have around 60mcg. Pork is one of the richest sources (18mcg per 100g), along with chicken thighs (15mcg per 100g) and turkey breast (10mcg per 100g).
What meat should we eat and how much?
Official UK advice recommends eating no more than 70g of red or processed meat per day – which is around the size of a deck of cards – but there is no official guidance on white meat (chicken and turkey).
We all know that red meat can be high in salt and saturated fat, meaning that eating too much over time can raise cholesterol and blood pressure, ultimately contributing to heart and circulatory disease. Diets high in saturated fat have also been linked to poor cognitive function, studies show. 
The key, as usual, is moderation. Prof Givens recommends eating slightly less than officially recommended – the equivalent of around 50g of unprocessed red meat per day and cutting out processed meat intake to zero. 
It’s also important to be savvy about the cut of meat you choose.
“Fattier cuts, especially red meat, tend to be high in saturated fat. Choose lower-fat versions of minced red meat,” says Rob Hobson, a registered nutritionist and the author of the cookbook Unprocess Your Life.
“It doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fattier meats occasionally, but it’s healthier to go for lean meat most of the time. Cuts of poultry like the thigh, drumstick and wings are fattier but you can just remove the skin after cooking if you want to reduce the saturated fat content,” he says. 
For comparison, 100g of lamb can contain around 20g of saturated fat, while the same amount of turkey breast contains less than 1g.
But when it comes to white meat, although it is a good source of lean protein, it contains fewer of the micronutrients found in red meat – especially B12 and iron, Mr Hobson notes.
“As plant-based foods have grown in popularity, it has been assumed that meat is bad for you, but in fact it is very nutritious, especially lean red meat. There are wider issues surrounding meat in terms of its impact on the environment but nutritionally lean red meat is more nutritious that lean white meat,” he adds.
Prof Givens adds: “The justification for red meat consumption is really a nutritional one so I would go for lean beef, which generally has a higher iron and zinc content than lamb, although both tend to have similar vitamin B12. Pork is generally lower in all these nutrients.”
Can vegetarians and vegans still have good brain health?
While meat forms part of a healthy diet, people can still get the vitamins they need from plant-based foods – but it can prove more difficult and they will need to take supplements.
Vegetarians and vegans need to eat plenty of other sources of protein, such as beans, lentils and quinoa, to make sure they are consuming the right mixture of amino-acids.
Additionally, B12 is found naturally only in animal products, meaning those whose diets are plant-based need to eat foods fortified with the vitamin, such as cereal or soya products, or take a supplement. Studies have shown that a B12 deficiency is widespread among vegans.
Research has also revealed that the body better absorbs brain-supporting minerals zinc and iron from meat than plants.

Fixed, lol. What are we? Cows? lol. 
The irony is, that even the processed meat products are waaaay more rich in nutrients than the ultraprocessed grain products.
I think when they refer to ultra-processed meat, they're having in mind Slim-Jim's, salami, and maybe certain sausages, which to their credit, is often not full of clean ingredients anyway.
Because that's 100% reliable, lol. 
Please reply in detail what you ate over the last 4 years below

I Lost 80lbs With the Carnivore Diet and it Transformed My Health
Story by Brian Nowicki   Brian Nowicki lost 80lbs and felt a range of health benefits after changing to the carnivore diet. Left, Brian before the diet change. Right, after.© Brian Nowicki   I lost 65 pounds in the first four months alone. I've lost a total of 80 pounds in a little over a year, all without counting calories and by eating as much as I wanted.
How did I do it? I followed the meat-based carnivore diet.
Everything changed for me in the spring of 2022 when I sat on the couch, tired and depressed, and feeling joint and back pain throughout my body. It was so bad that I would get flare-ups in my knees or ankles that would last one to two weeks. The pain was so intense that I couldn't walk.
I also had a condition called atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) which affects your heart's normal sinus rhythm. I knew I needed to lose weight and get healthy—and I had to do it soon. I wanted to make sure I could watch my three children grow up to have kids of their own. I wanted to be able to provide for my family.
But with the path I was going down, I wasn't sure that would happen. And this became my Why.
I had heard from some friends who were doing the keto diet and losing weight, so I decided to give that a try. With the keto diet you limit your carb intake to about 20 grams per day and increase your fat intake.
Over the next couple of months, I continued to research low-carb diets and watch YouTube videos from doctors and those sharing their experiences.
I had not lost much weight at all and did not feel a whole lot differently, but I kept finding more and more information about the ultimate elimination diet where you completely cut carbs from your eating plan. This was the carnivore diet, and in July of 2022 I went full in.
I do not eat vegetables or fruits, or any other carbs. I predominantly eat beef, with some eggs and bacon. Occasionally I will eat chicken wings or chicken thighs, as well as pork. I do not use any type of seed oils and cook my food with either bacon fat or butter.
A typical day of eating for me consists of a steak around Noon and then a couple of beef burger patties—no bun—and either eggs or bacon. I usually eat approximately two pounds of meat per day.
By early November, I had lost 65 pounds, had more energy to do things, and noticed that my arthritis and joint pain was gone. I also noticed that I hadn't experienced a single A-Fib episode in a few months. Before starting the carnivore diet, I was having a couple of episodes per week.
Over the next several months my weight loss slowed down as I got to a healthier weight. But the health benefits continued.
I've been on blood pressure medication for over 20 years. Whilst I still take medication, the dosage has decreased to the lowest prescription strength and my blood pressure is under control. I also have not had an A-Fib episode in over 14 months and was just recently taken off the medication for it.
My doctor is happy with my progress too. Before going on the carnivore diet my triglycerides—a type of fat in your blood—were 273 milligrams per deciliter, which is very high. Now, they are 107, in the healthy range. My HDL cholesterol has also improved. My liver and kidney function are excellent with the best levels I've seen in my blood work.
Some of the keys to my success were having short-term goals and having an accountability partner. The short-term goals that I set were somewhat challenging, but measurable and attainable. This allowed me to feel a sense of accomplishment along the way.
For an accountability partner, I had a friend on Facebook who was also trying to lose weight. We kept each other accountable by posting a daily log of our food intake, water intake, etc. We also checked in with each other often. I feel this was huge for keeping me motivated and helping me get past struggles.
Altogether I feel like the carnivore diet has saved my life. No more back pain. No more arthritis or joint pain. No more A-Fib episodes. Lower blood pressure. More energy and a happier mood. The list goes on and on.
I have not experienced any negatives from eating this way. If there is a special occasion and I want to eat a small piece of cake or something I normally would not eat, I go ahead and treat myself. But I make sure that it does not snowball, and I move forward and back to my normal eating plan.
Eating this way has truly been life-changing for me and I have no plans to stop the carnivore diet lifestyle. I see myself eating this way for the rest of my life. Exactly what I eat may adjust as I go, but the main principles of a meat-based diet with little to no carbs will not change for me.
With this life-changing health transformation, I decided that I wanted to share my experiences and help others, so I created a YouTube channel.
On my channel, Wick Goes Carnivore, I share the good and bad experiences. What I've done right and mistakes I've made. I share the successes between losing weight and all the health benefits I have experienced.

Yeah Berry had me going for a minute especially when he said it was a Texas company. I use a butter that’s made here in Texas so he definitely had my attention.
