I am new here, committed to the carnivore lifestyle. I started gradually decreasing vegetables in the spring of 2023 and in the fall I stopped all vegetables. However, I was still drinking teas, cocoa, and occasional coffee. 

Since I have a lot of chronic health challenges (prostate bladder, kidney, lower leg swelling, etc.), in January I decided to go completely clean carnivore: just fatty meat, tallow and water. I think this might give me the best chance of improving my health.

I haven’t seen dramatic improvements like many people have, but I feel better mentally, and I instinctively feel this is the type of nutrition that is best for my body. 

It’s a journey; I realize carnivore isn’t guaranteed to fix all my health challenges, but it still feels right in my gut, so I’m likely in it for the long haul. 

I’m happy to be a part of this community and offer support for everyone on this carnivore journey. We’re seen as crazy by the “normies,” and that’s ok; we know what we’re doing and we support each other. 👍‍

    Welcome Les. Glad to have you on board. We look forward to sharing your journey with you.
    You are correct that carnivore will not cure everything. It cures or helps metabolic damage brought on by inflammation. It’s cured or helped many things in my life but some things are just permanently damaged that are not going to be healed. But the inflammation surrounding that damage is reduced so the pain is tremendously better.
    I too have a prostrate issue, in fact I’m getting my biannual PSA done today. I’m hoping for positive results.
    Normies, I like that. It’s funny how they think this a fad diet and so restrictive when in reality man has eaten this way from the beginning of our existence and it is the most freeing way of eating I’ve ever experienced.

    Welcome aboard Les! I do hope that you reap some benefits from your carnivore diet. It has done wonders for me I am not looking back (I'm meat centric, and will occasionally eat a plant). 

    It's true carnivore won't heal everything. A lot of us see quick results with reversing diabetes or lowering blood pressure. Some people lose a lot of weight up front. Others seem to have to heal metabolically before the weight starts dropping. But think of all the years you spent feeding your body junk... it's not gonna all get fixed overnight.

    I was listening to a podcast/video today, and they were talking about polyunsaturated fats found in seed oils, and how most Americans have an imbalance of Omega-6 vs Omega-3's. The guest said that it can take 4 years for your body to return to normal levels. So we need to be on this journey for the long haul.

    Thanks so much Geoff. 🙏‍ I take it one day at a time; my state of mind is better than it’s been for a while, and that makes it easier to deal with the physical stuff.

    I think a lot of the normies live in a different world—and that’s fine, no judgement or criticism. We’re all on a unique path in life.  

    I hope your test results are positive. 👍‍

    • 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!

      Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

      Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry.

      Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

    • 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. 

      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. Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

    • "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.
