Hi everyone. New to the forum. Been on carnivore now for 3 and a half months, but been on and off low carb for years. Have lost 4 stone in the last 6 months, so making good progress. Been pretty strict with the food, but I'm still drinking alcohol (gin so that it's zero carb at least). Hope everyone is doing well,

Michael

      Welcome! Congrats on the great weigh-loss! I sometimes miss alcohol, but I know I'll make some bad diet decisions when under the influence lol   However, I got back to Ireland in a

      Welcome to the community, Micheal!  I don't drink but graham crackers,  milk and or chocolate seem to find their way into my face about once a month. I'm a work in progress.

    Welcome aboard @Michael123

    That's awesome progress. It mirrors my own - 55 pounds in 6 months, if my math is right (1 stone = 14 lbs).

    I have a bourbon just once a month, sometimes twice if we go out for karaoke 😄

    Glad you could join us Michael.
    When I fist went carnivore I stopped drinking for seven months and then I only drank that one whiskey as a toast to my fellow veterans.
    I didn’t drink again until I reached my optimal weight at ten months.
    I will now have a whiskey (scotch or Irish) maybe once a month and then it’s only one. I’m not really trying to be restrictive it’s just that I don’t want very much. That’s saying a lot coming from someone who never had a limit before.
    Yes your spirits are zero carb but that alcohol will metabolize into sugar in your system and knock you out of ketosis so if you find yourself stalling out or plateauing or not getting the results you want you might want to consider cutting it out for awhile.
    Good luck and good health.

    I've got a 96 mile hike coming up in a few weeks. I'm doing it over 7 days. Will be interesting to see how do-able carnivore on that is. I'm not worried about my energy levels, just about being able to buy carnivore food along the way. I made my own jerky recently, and man that stuff is hard to eat - probably how I cooked it 😀

    That’s going to be an interesting journey. It may be difficult to find non-carby foods along the hike. I would imagine that most people who are into hiking would be big on high carbohydrate diets for that glucose energy. Granola and all that nonsense.
    Report back when you return and tell us how it went.

    • 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.

    • "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.
