Welcome on board! I check my blood ketones and glucose once a month, ketones are around 1,5-2,0 and glucose 4,8. Euro numbers. In February I had 3,0-4,0 ketone readings I've been on keto(vore)for six months now,I get max 10 g of carbs daily. I used to count macros for a while,now I just know I'm around 75-80% fat energy. If I go to strict carni I may get surprise toilet needs. Total carni also makes me lose hunger altogether, almost like losing appetite. Very little salad stuff seems to be enough to avoid toilet surprises and I enjoy food better,too. I have not been hungry in six months, I sometimes have to pay attention so that I'm eating enough. I did some fasts earlier but no more. Too little food is not good for me, even though fasting feels great. I have no reason to limit my calorie intake,rather the other way round is better in terms of weight loss and everthing. Most of meat available is lean here in Finland. Hard to keep fat % high with meat alone. I eat tuna in olive oil, feta, lots of fatty sausages. Bacon with eggs every day... Coffee is a mild toilet catalyst for me. But I have a mug or two every day, I add butter,coconut oil and cream. I did Atkins in early 2000's, then the name became Low Carb, now it's Keto(vore). I've been on and off during the years,mostly on but after heart problems (got an attack and a stent, also have a failure and cont. afib) the docs got me scared and I ate normally for a while. I gained 30 kilos and became very weak. I was suggested an open heart bypass surgery which I rejected. Now I'm off statins, cut 75 % off BP meds , lost 25 kg, can even run.... much stronger than in the last years. I can do things that make me sweat without my heart warning me now. All this progress has happened after I started keto(vore) six months ago. This is how much "salad" I had today. This small amount helps me have normal toilet practises. Oh,I have no gallbladder,that may or may not matter. I hope you can get this going in a nice and relaxed way. O
Recipe
Meatballs
Ingredients,
•
• 1 pound ground meat
• 1 pound sausage
• 1/2 cup pork rind panko
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
• ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
Place the hamburger and sausage in a food processor. Alternate the meat in chucks to aid in even mixing.
Scramble the egg and add it along with all of the other ingredients except the cheese to the food processor.
Pulse until mixture starts to combine and flow into a paste.
Once the mixture is combined you can add the cheeses and turn the food processor on to thoroughly mix in the cheese.
Once it is the consistency of a paste you can stop the mixing and start rolling the mix into meatballs.
Do not compact the meatballs but gently roll them into a ball so they don’t become dense.
As you can see I wrapped some in bacon. I recommend doing that.
Place in the smoker at 250° - 275° until they reach an internal temperature of 165°.
If you want to use the oven then set it at 425° for 20 minutes.
All done and ready to eat.
Serve with a carnivore alfredo sauce, carnivore steak sauce or carnivore gravy.
Notes;
Any ground meat will suffice. I used lamb burger and hot venison breakfast sausage.
You don’t have to use a food processor. You can just use your hands but using a processor gives the cooked meat a much finer texture.
Only use cheese if you can tolerate it.
All seasoning’s are of course optional depending on your diet and how you tolerate them.
I am In maintenance mode and I can tolerate them in limited amounts. I also use white pepper rather than black.
The recipe for the sauce is already posted on separate thread.
