Another thread on how difficult it can be to 'spread the word' or give 'my testimony' on the benefits of eating carnivore.

Last night we went to a local bar in a small town not too far from here. One of our friend's has a band and they have since moved to Nashville but are home now for a stretch. Their daughter who is pursuing a solo career in Nashville was home as well and it was a family affair of really good music.

Babbling. In between sets or songs, the 'old people' were discussing all their ailments. As each told of their medical issues my wife and eye would make eye contact, and I would have a little smile. Then the next, and then the next. My buddy asked why, so my wife explained I was not laughing at their issues, but it was an inside joke between my wife and me. Every time I hear of someone getting sick, discovering an "aging issue", dieting/weight loss, etc. etc. I say to my wife "Carnivore Diet". To the point now it is a running joke.

To show how far it goes last week she came home from work and told me the Jeep's check engine light came on and the engine had a minor stalling at takeoff. I told her it would easily be solved with the 'carnivore diet'. She is about tired of hearing 'carnivore'. LOL

Again, babbling on. I was telling our table how many positives I have had with doing not much more than switching my diet. It is a hard sell to tell people that what you eat is only a drop in the bucket compared to the effects of 'what you stop eating'. Strange concept for most. And true to form, my niece had her phone out 'fact checking' just about my every statement. "I can eat all the ribeye I want and drink water, from that I will lose weight and have a better metabolic health?" And when I said YES, our table was fully engulfed.

Maybe an hour or so answering questions the best I could, having my niece fact check and report back to the table that I was not near as crazy in the head as I sounded.

My wife is on another attempt and she is about 7 days in of eating carnivore/strict carnivore and did the immediate switch to one meal a day (I think it is better to sort of let that happen on its own, but for her I think it is more of a diet hack than a long-term change, so we are rolling with her new plan). As soon as she said she had lost 6lbs in a week the other ladies at the table are all carnivores starting today.

Maybe til lunch, or supper, LOL but hopefully they will give it a try.

Waiting for the gym to open and passing the time.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I love talking (preaching) carnivore but I’ve learned to not give unsolicited advice and even then not to go into too much detail unless it’s asked for.

Me too. I think I actually learned that from you after bumping heads a couple times.

This was all unsolicited and they all seemed interested.

If nothing else it was good fellowship and good conversation. If it were to go any further they can only help themselves.

And even that's funny that it has to come from another woman, because us men obviously have no idea what we are talking about, lol :P

I need to add a "shocked" or "wow" reaction to the software for this.

I mean, I get it. Food is one of life's pleasures. But I still resonate more with sayings like these...

"Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels"
"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

I can understand when the taste of food is the highlight of your day though. My parents, who are in there 70's, are always talking about this restaurant they tried or this other restaurant they just visited. They gush over the food like it was some out of body experience, lol.

Yesterday I listened to my best friend go on about a number of health issues they are experiencing and also some severe immune system and healing challenges a younger family member is going through. Although I am medication free and experiencing improvements to my health on carnivore, if I try to talk about how good I am doing they dont want to hear. It'slike they completely turn off.

^ yep they are convinced doctors know best and are not to be questioned! My friend says his blindness has nothing to do with his diabetes, wonder who told him that?

That’s so sad. It’s even sadder that their whole life focus is on food and not on Christ.

Whenever I try to talk about it, I get, " well it must be true if you learned it on the Internet" 🤦🏻‍♀️

They do have a point if it came from the internet. People are not allowed to lie or deceive on the internet. I read it in the by-laws.
