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_9026Tomorrow will mark 9 months eating Carnivore. At nine months I still call it the Carnivore Diet. I'm working my way toward it being a lifestyle.
This far no real issues. I made light of my nearly $200 boots no longer fitting but mostly because I have heard tons of weight loss stories and tons of diets. Keto, Atkins, Jenny Craig, Weight watchers and I never remember anyone showing off the fact their feet got smaller. Totally caught off guard on this one.
I have not taken any medicine for pain nor inflammation since May/June of last year, maybe 4 weeks into the diet.
Although I was expecting a bit more progress as the weight fell but over the last four months or so my LDL dropped by 35. I was sort of happy with it holding steady for the first four or five months, then after some reading, I sort of expected it to inch up some as I am eating a lot of fat and using fat for energy. Another carnivore surprise, it dropped by 35.
I stalled on the weight loss in the low to mid 80's for more than a month. I'm eating more than ever trying to hit the protein per pound for muscle growth. I have found getting close to 200 grams is sort of hard to do as I have found I'm a 'right around one meal per day person'. The second meal at times can be a chore. And even though I feel like I am eating a five gallon bucket of meat a day this morning I hit the 90lb loss mark. I weighed in at 306 in May and hit the scales at 216 today. Ten pounds per month average over the last nine months. Not too shabby.
A big thanks to the board and its members. I pull older threads and read as I am interested in people's personal stories more so than studies and clinical findings. I like to compare the experience of others to my own and usually learn something along the way.
