We went to West Virginia this weekend riding side by sides up and down the mountains. Had a blast.

Several of the people on the trip I had not seen since pre-carnivore. 

As we discussed the Carnivore approach it was almost 'fun' listening to the "question and answer session". There were a husband/wife couple who were both in the medical field, one a nurse and the other in the lab. As I described the things I cut out and the now it is only meat, salt and water adding that I try to eat red, fatty cuts of meat the majority of time, I actually got a lecture on the things I was missing in my diet. What about Vitamin C? What about fiber? Where are you getting your greens from and what are you doing for anti-oxidants? I explained each the best I could. 

For me the irony was standing there with about an 8 ounce rib-eye out of a napkin with a bottle of water I brought from home while they covered the shortcomings of a carnivore diet whilst eating bags of Doritos/Hot Fries, cold Pizza and drinking beer (copious amounts of beer). 

Another part of the irony was that was me just a few months ago and I don't feel like I have done near the research I probably need to do as I slowly transition from this being a Carnivore Diet to being a "Carnivore Lifestyle". Ignorance is bliss but it is also fattening and detrimental to one's health.

With that said, a great group of people and we had a blast up and down the mountains. Some flat out racing, some cruising and some sketch hill climbs, but a blast all the same. It is a great part of the country to vacation/do a weekend ride. 

Plus, this weekend was six months on the diet. No medicines since late May and down 75lbs. I feel as good as I have in a really, really long time. I was the 55 year (old guy in the group) old guy walking down the side of the mountain to find out if the path was blocked then walking back up. These 25–28-year-old (kids) stopping half-way back up to catch their breath/grab a second wind. 

Maybe there is some irony there as well. LOL

Great testimony Scott. 
Educating yourself is the best defense against those who are brainwashed (as we all were at one time) and your personal example is the proof. 
It’s fun for me to debate the naysayers especially when they come from the ignorance of the mainstream of fake science. I’m a member of Quora and I have several posts to questions about diet and nutrition. The responses I get are hilariously ignorant and it’s fun responding to them but I do find it encouraging when I see how many likes my post generate and the positive responses from those who have had the veil lifted from their eyes. 

You're not obligated to explain what you eat, nor should any one. I understand you just had fun conversation so it doesn't really matter. Good to see they had an open mind at least. 

Good crowd. It was several in the crowd that went KETO for a stretch and said they had pretty good success. Like most diets, they were not sustained. 

I told a couple of them that going from KETO to CARNIVORE is not as big a leap as it seems, but the results can be really amazing. 

My buddy sent me a meme that basically said no one cared when I was eating McDonald's and Mountain Dews and Little Debbie Cakes by the handfuls but as soon as I went on Carnivore everyone became a doctor...or in so many words. LOL

It was a good time and some good conversation, but with a bit of irony.
