March Motivation Challenge! - Enter to WIN!
"Marching into March with Much Motivation"
For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol.
Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk.
The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

February Fasting Challenge - Enter to WIN!
Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!
For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).
An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner.
If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol.

"World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!
Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following... 1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt. 2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs. 3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy. In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage hoe you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice. IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based. We encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.-

comment_8987I haven't had hardly any negatives since switching nine months ago to the carnivore way of eating. I have been really strict with the food intake and on occasion drink a glass of milk (somewhere between a glass weekly/bi-weekly). I started off with the eat when I was hungry approach and that pretty much turned into OMAD (and as said before, I didn't know it had a name or that eating once a day was a 'thing'). As of late I have increased my food intake to hit a protein per day target as I am lifting and trying to build muscle. I have an auto-immune disease and building/maintaining muscle mass off-sets the progression of the disease.
My issue: On my days off I am up early around 4:30 or so and get to the gym a little after 5. I lift for a little more than an hour, come home put on the weight vest and walk for a hair over three miles. After the walk I shower and eat breakfast. It is usually 4 eggs and whatever meat we had left over from the night before. If no leftovers it is fresh sausage made the week before, sometimes it is bacon. The off to whatever I am doing for the day. This past weekend I cut up a couple fallen trees and busted the wood for the grill. (used a wood maul to bust the wood/no log splitter). Yesterday I cut some steel to make spring hangers for the project truck I am working on and the day before I used the back-pack blower to push the leaves into the woods (live in an oak grove so the leaves are just about year around work). As the day ends I usually fire up the grill for the evening meal.
Fir the past month or so when I eat the evening mill it hits a switch and no sooner than I am finished I am gassed out. No energy, tired as all get out, and simply can't hold my eyes open. If I try to power thru in the recliner, I end up sleeping in ten-to-fifteen-minute intervals, and once rested can't sleep much that night. If I go to bed I am up at midnight as wide awake as can be for the rest of the night.
I am a life-long rotating 12 hour shift employee so my sleep patterns suck due to the shift work but have not ran out of gas, all of a sudden zapped for energy before. It seems to have started when I started adding the extra protein for muscle growth.
Anyone experienced end of the crashes? It is all of a sudden, from 100 to 0 as soon as I finish eating. Feel great one minute and can't get out of my the next.
