challenge "World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!

[Carburetor]

I'm in,even a bit late.

Been on ketovore for about seven weeks now. Approx 5 g carbs.

This month 99,4 kg -> 96,5 kg.

I made an all meat chili the other day. Quite a big pot for a few days. Simmered smoked pork bones,added butter fried bacon and minced beef. Yellow Carolina Reaper,Scotch Bonnet. I also added Naga Morich and oregano last night.

There is one carb gram because I added one spoonful of pure cacao powder for a nice twist.

Looks good.

Sort of an off-topic question.

Did you go without the seasonings as you went Carnivore or have you used them all along?

The reason I ask is because I went straight meat, salt and water (other than finishing off some Mountain Dew and Ice Cream the very first week) for the last 8 months.

Recently I tried a couple different sauces and now they are not what they use to be and even one that I liked forever, simply didn't taste good at all.

Still learning. Just wondering.

Thank you,Scott.

I´m ketovore rather than strict carni. At least for now. Those little things like cream in my (butter & coconut oiled) coffee give a couple of carbs. I´m also one of us that needs chillies and other seasonings,I´ve been using them all my life, keto or not.

I’m mostly concerned about the 7 year old. Since meet is all there is, she’s not eating much.

Unfortunately I think we’re all sensitive to dairy so for now we’ll have to hold off.

Is it lactose intolerance? If so, there are a number of cheeses that you can enjoy with little to no lactose at all. Cream cheese is often well-tolerated because it is low in lactose, about 2g per ounce. 

A sudden change in diet is difficult for anybody, especially a 7 year old addicted to sweets. This may need to be done gradually. The elimination of grains, seed oils, and refined sugar (i.e. processed food) is your first objective. Most people will do well just eating what nature provides, basically animal products, fruits, and vegetables (especially veggies that are in reality also fruits). 

On the other hand, she will eat when she is hungry enough, and if she has any substantial belly/body fat she then she has plenty of fuel in reserve. But even so, we want to see her get proper nutrition.

Great ideas! Can you share your steak sauce recipe?

Carnivore pizza, look that up. Don't be afraid to add a little sauce, especially for kids. Gradual change is the best change, the one that sticks.

Thank you for the info on cream cheese - that’s super helpful. She was never a junk food eater. My daughter and her family have always eaten whole, organic foods. No refined sugar or processed foods or seed oils. It’s the fruit and even gluten free bread that makes my granddaughter go crazy. Today she is doing great - like a new child! Cooperative, sweet, loving. It’s kind of amazing!

Is she eating yet? Or is this just behavioral improvement being off the carbs?

She ate a lot today - venison patties, carnivore pancakes, carnivore deviled eggs, sausage, lots of butter - in stuff and by itself. Success!
