Welcome on board! I check my blood ketones and glucose once a month, ketones are around 1,5-2,0 and glucose 4,8. Euro numbers. In February I had 3,0-4,0 ketone readings I've been on keto(vore)for six months now,I get max 10 g of carbs daily. I used to count macros for a while,now I just know I'm around 75-80% fat energy. If I go to strict carni I may get surprise toilet needs. Total carni also makes me lose hunger altogether, almost like losing appetite. Very little salad stuff seems to be enough to avoid toilet surprises and I enjoy food better,too. I have not been hungry in six months, I sometimes have to pay attention so that I'm eating enough. I did some fasts earlier but no more. Too little food is not good for me, even though fasting feels great. I have no reason to limit my calorie intake,rather the other way round is better in terms of weight loss and everthing. Most of meat available is lean here in Finland. Hard to keep fat % high with meat alone. I eat tuna in olive oil, feta, lots of fatty sausages. Bacon with eggs every day... Coffee is a mild toilet catalyst for me. But I have a mug or two every day, I add butter,coconut oil and cream. I did Atkins in early 2000's, then the name became Low Carb, now it's Keto(vore). I've been on and off during the years,mostly on but after heart problems (got an attack and a stent, also have a failure and cont. afib) the docs got me scared and I ate normally for a while. I gained 30 kilos and became very weak. I was suggested an open heart bypass surgery which I rejected. Now I'm off statins, cut 75 % off BP meds , lost 25 kg, can even run.... much stronger than in the last years. I can do things that make me sweat without my heart warning me now. All this progress has happened after I started keto(vore) six months ago. This is how much "salad" I had today. This small amount helps me have normal toilet practises. Oh,I have no gallbladder,that may or may not matter. I hope you can get this going in a nice and relaxed way. O
We will be making changes to the one feature of the Carnivore Talk Community that allows unregistered Guests to post in specific forums. The reason for this is that we are tired of the SPAM. @Geezy and I delete a dozen or more posts per day that look like this...
When you take a look at the Guest forum and sort the posts by Start Date, you can clearly see how underutilized this forum actually is. MOST of our activity comes from members who have registered accounts. We have only had 22 topics/questions from unregistered guests since our community's inception in August of 2023, with only 15 of those being within the last 12 months.
If you want to participate in this community, you can register for an account. It's completely free, and we don't sell or give away your information. We're just a band of brothers and sisters, a tribe of fellow supporters who are interested in diet, nutrition, and health, and not some mega corporation.
If you just want to ask a single question, but do not want to interact, participate, or respond to others, you can leave a voicemail. A transcription of your voicemail will be posted for others to read and respond to, and/or your voicemail may be used and answered in a YouTube video.
