Welcome aboard!

:welcome:

The carnivore diet community is definitely a unique niche community, but it's growing in popularity. While it may be labeled as a fad diet or extreme diet, it's actually backed by tons of science and research. I'm still learning more and more myself.

"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.

"World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!
"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.

It is not always about how much you eat and sometimes what you eat plays second fiddle to when you eat. If you can skip the traditional breakfast and eat later in the morning it will give your glucose time to spike up and then drop back some. By then you are active in your day. I too work a lot of nights and it is really easy to get off work, eat and go to sleep. That is a bad combination for weight loss. Then couple that with eating the wrong foods. Double whammy. I lose faster when the fat content is up for a higher fat/moderate protein approach. I left home on Wednesday morning at 215. I am sure I will see a weight gain tomorrow when back at home. I have eaten the right things but have not had a meal since we left. I have been snacking on the meats throughout the day while we ride. I ate a lot of food but never let my body adjust/empty/make room before I was snacking again. Timing will be more my issue when I weigh tomorrow.

New research is bad news for vegans - even if you eat plant-based protein
New research is bad news for vegans - even if you eat plant-based protein

Bob posted a post in a topic in Diet, Health, Nutrition, & Medicine in the News

New research is bad news for vegans — even if you eat plant-based proteinStory by McKenzie Beard Hold the tofu. New research suggests that vegans may be more likely to suffer from nutritional deficiencies than their meat-eating counterparts. Worse still, scientists found that even vegans who hit their daily protein goals with plant-based sources often fall short on two essential amino acids, putting their health at risk. Plant-based diets are packed with produce, but some key nutrients may be missing. PaeGAG – stock.adobe.com In the US, an estimated 1% to 5% of the population follows a vegan diet, which eliminates all animal products, including meat, dairy and eggs. Over the years, researchers have found that following a plant-based diet can reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers, as well as help with weight management. In fact, one study found that eating a vegan diet can improve your health in just four weeks. But meat-eaters have long argued that animal products provide essential nutrients — particularly proteins, vitamins and minerals — that are tough to get in sufficient quantities from a plant-based diet. A new six-month study out of Australia might just support that claim. Meat is a rich source of protein and also provides essential nutrients such as iron, zinc and B vitamins. puhhha – stock.adobe.com Researchers tracked the diets of 240 adults, aged 30 to 75, ranging from strict vegans and dairy-eating vegetarians to good old-fashioned meat lovers. As expected, the plant-based group consumed far more vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts compared to their meat-eating counterparts, while also being more likely to avoid sugary drinks and junk food. Vegans and lacto-vegetarians also had higher intakes of fiber, folate, magnesium, vitamin E, iron and omega-6 fatty acids compared to meat eaters. However, the same groups were also deficient in several essential nutrients. Compared to meat-eaters, vegans and lacto-vegetarians consumed “significantly less” protein-rich foods. They also had lower levels of vitamin B12, iodine, niacin, riboflavin and omega-3 fatty acids. “[Plant-based diets], while higher in beneficial nutrients and wholefood groups than regular meat-eaters, may lead to nutritional inadequacies if not planned appropriately,” the study authors concluded. Researchers say plant-based eaters need to be extra mindful about getting all their essential nutrients. EdNurg – stock.adobe.com Think you’re getting enough protein on a plant-based diet? Don’t get too comfortable just yet. Researchers in New Zealand analyzed the diets of nearly 200 long-term vegan Kiwis and found that about three-fourths of them met the daily recommended protein intake from plant-based foods like tofu, lentils, legumes and meat alternatives. But here’s the twist: once digestion was factored in, only about half of the participants were getting enough of two essential amino acids — the building blocks of protein — called lysine and leucine. Leucine is key for making protein and growth hormones, and it plays a vital role in muscle growth and repair, wound healing and blood sugar regulation. Lysine, on the other hand, is crucial for hormone production, energy, and calcium and immune function. The problem for vegans, researchers explained, is that only a small fraction of the already low levels of these amino acids in plant foods is being absorbed by the body, while the rest is simply passed out. Meat alternatives pack protein, but not all of their amino acids are absorbed by the body. Sundry Photography – stock.adobe.com “Achieving high protein quality on a vegan diet requires more than just consuming enough protein,” the study authors wrote. “It also depends on the right balance and variety of plant foods to supply all the amino acids in the quantities that our body needs.” Prolonged deficiencies in lysine and leucine can disrupt protein balance, hinder muscle maintenance and affect other vital functions, the researchers warned. These risks could be even greater for vulnerable groups, like elderly vegans. The researchers are calling for further investigation into how vegans can boost their intake of leucine and lysine in a nutritionally balanced way. In the study, legumes and their seeds were found to be the top contributors to overall protein and lysine intake. However, some experts caution that the findings from the New Zealand study should be taken with a grain of salt. Professor Tom Sanders, a nutrition expert at King’s College London, pointed out a few limitations, such as the lack of an omnivore group for comparison. He also noted that the study didn’t account for the role of gut bacteria in lysine production and relied on self-reported data, which he said can be less reliable.

Thank you for the response, Bob. I definitely try to not eat just before sleeping. The only time I have breakfast is around 10 am if I’m not going to sleep due to night shift. For the most part I’m intermittent fasting. I haven’t yet included a 36 hour or longer fast but plan to do so soon. Aside from that, do you recommend I try pushing through my lack of appetite to eat more than I feel I can? I’m not feeling stuffed in the stomach necessarily. I just lose all desire from the brain side and the food loses its appeal for me.

Those NSV 's are great. Cherish them. Sometimes when we hit these plateaus it's because the body is focused on healing instead of losing weight. On the other hand... That does sound like you are not eating a lot. You're coming in less than 1500 "calories" a day provided it's 80/20 ground beef and you're slurping up all the grease from your plate. Your body may be adjusting it's metabolic rate to counter the low caloric intake (we only mention "calories" here in the sense that it gives you a rough idea how much or how little you are eating). I'm not sure how active you are, or how much sleep you are getting, but here's some ideas worth trying... Increase your consumption. The 1lb of beef is a good meal but breakfast could be bigger if you are only eating 3 eggs. Don't eat and then go to sleep on it. Try to consolidate your eating into an 8-hour feeding window at most. Then fast the remaining 16+ hours. Throw in an extended fast here and there.

What was your triglycerides at? I, too, struggle with high triglycerides. But mine is because I have late stage kidney disease. They skyrocketed when I lost a lot of weight rapidly.
