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. Scott
