Aside of the common things that most of us probably do here, eating a carnivore diet, have a good sleep and make some physical activity, what's are your uncommon good habits to have a better life?

Personally I don't use any cutlery to eat, just my hands, i feel much more connected to the food I eat.

I also don't have bed, I sleep on the ground, I just have some exercise mat of about 0.5 Inch ~ to not be directly on the rough and cold tiles...

Finally I can mention that I don't use anymore of these shower garbage products which are full of poison... the only care product I still use toothpast but I know it's a mess too and I'm planning to make a transition to clay paste or something but I'm still exploring to find the good solution...

One habits I really want to get in at long term, which should be normal but our world make us all crazy with it... is to reduce the time spent on my phone per days to a maximum of 1hour and in only 1 session per day. I have the chance to have a life without any obligations, so I don't need to be connected or avalaible at any time which is unfortunately the pain of a lot of people nowadays... my idea is to have a phone time schedule between 7pm to 8pm everyday when my day is already completely accomplished.

And you whats your uncommon good habits?

I can't think of anything I am doing that is out of the ordinary and considered a good habit, and least not beyond the basics. I've kicked my last vice, which was soda. I might still have one every once in a while, but I have finally acquired the taste for just plain water (as well as fizzy water). I had spent most of my life drinking diet sodas.

I don't have hair so I only use bar soap, which I get from Sam's Club in bulk. They did start carrying Dr. Squatch and I did try it and it was okay. It's supposed to be better for you - all natural and all that.

I am more regular at brushing my teeth - at least once daily now. I really don't care what toothpaste it is either. I've switched from plastic flippers, ladels, and tongs to wooden ones, and prefer real silverware over plasticware when it comes to cutlery.

I think the phone/screen time goals are rather admirable. But I run a business (construction in real life, YouTube online) so that would never work for me.

I sleep on waterbed from the 70's. I'm in love with it. It fixed my back pain when I got it 20 years ago. I will die before giving it up, lol :)

I am not sure I have any except maybe the OMAD just sort of happened and I had to purposely eat more to off set some weight loss/strength loss. I didn't see that coming at all.

I use whatever toothpastes my wife buys and seldom get the same one two purchases in a row. Not a lot of hair to work with so care products are limited, not much more than a bar of Dial soap.

I missed last week's roundtable. I am a lifelong shift worker so my sleep patterns are not exactly ideal. Working days or nights I sleep from about 9 to 3. Prior to carnivore I could go back to sleep and get another hour to two hours and then start my day. Still an early start at 5/6 but since carnivore that has changed.

I didn't get the mental clarity or cognizant effect people talk about with carnivore. What I got was when I wake up I'm up, and there is no going back to sleep. My days now start as 3:30 AM or PM depending on when I lay down for that day. it does not sound like a a good habit but I take advantage by going to the gym really early, my day starts sooner and I get a lot more done.

Coupling that with the steady supply of energy I now get some things done vs. putting stuff off til another day.

Good topic. I hadn't thought much about it.

Interesting subject.

I guess a couple of things that I do might be uncommon in the community are not near as uncommon as yours but I’ll play.

First off, I raise or hunt as much as 95% of the food I eat. We raise goats, cattle, sheep and chickens. I hunt deer, pigs, birds and fish a lot. We have a small far and are very self sufficient. I also eat many organ meats from those animals that most in the community don’t eat

Another thing is i rarely use deodorant and when i do it’s a very clean and natural product. I have found that since becoming a carnivore I just don’t have BO like I used too as long as I take a shower every day. I use natural soaps whenever I can and avoid those that have a bunch of chemicals in them. I’ve recently met a woman in my area who makes soap and I’m going to ask her to teach me how.

I enjoy a pioneering lifestyle where I make much of what we take for granted. I make my own yogurt, bacon, ham and tallow. I’m always looking for ways to go back to the old style of doing things.

I don't use the deodorant either. I didn't think about it.

Prior to carnivore I could get hot and sweaty and smell like a goat in no time. Since, even the harder days in the gym or working here around the house I don't seem to 'give off an aroma'.

It is sort of weird.

I personally noticed my sweat smell worse when I'm eating chicken or pork (for the pork it depends of the meat cut)

Prior to carnivore, never really putting two and two together, the only thing I ever really differentiated between meats was that pork was less filling. Before eating primarily red meats, I could eat a ton of pork and within a little while be hungry all over again. Granted, I am sure the other garbage I was eating was adding to the hunger, but with pork, the hunger came faster.

Once going carnivore, I can feel the difference between the proteins. Chicken and fish don't seem to carry me like red meat and the pork is a distant fourth. Eggs do OK but the satiation effect of red meat really sets itself apart, at least for me anyway.

Maybe one of the uncommon things for me is that I have a better understanding of the proteins and how they work for me as most people, like me beforehand, sees a protein as a protein.

Proteins are proteins... i have all what i need, I'm eating 500 gr of tofu and 1kg of beans a day! 🤡🤡

Good luck and hopefully that plan works for you.

For me, there is a difference in the proteins which makes me a red meat fan.

I think @jr1776 was being funny, because in his post entitled "My Journey [LONG POST]" in the Introductions forum he went from keto, then ditched the veggies, and went full carnivore.

I'm also guessing English isn't his other tongue.

Actually English might be my 9th language 🤣 im joking...

but I'm French native and English is the only other language I know a bit, definitly not at a high level, I kind of learn everyday by reading article on internet that I try to traduce the least as possible, and also by my 8 volumes of bilingual editions of Shakespeare😅

Hey Jeremy. lol, you had me going for a second with the 9th language!

Your English comes across pretty good, even though I could tell it's not your first language. And I like the idea of trying to read articles without translating them as way to learn it.
