Will Carnivore Heal My Kidneys Now??

Yes. He seen how well it was working for me and said he would give it a go for two weeks. Those two weeks turned into 30 days and since then he has done very well. He plans in a cheat meal once a week. Sometimes it is barely crossing the lines, but.... He made a really meaty chili but used some tomato paste, cheats similar to that. He has lost 47lbs he told me just a little bit ago as I was getting off and his shift was coming on. I counted for the muscle building aspect but that is sort of fading. I struggle hitting the target as I am gorging myself to eat that much. That is sort of getting old too.  Scott

I don't track protein or calories. Only carbs, which I want as close to zero as possible, every day and I try to get as much fat as possible, so I don't waste the time tracking fat at all. I eat 99% zero carb foods so my tracking is really easy. I have a small food window of items which I find very convenient for shopping.  My wife and I are both retired for 4 years now, and right after retired I started to not feel very well. My MS was kicking a little along with a few other thing. We both Started ketovore and quickly went carnivore. Pretty much helped everything and haven't looked back.   If the opportunity appears to discuss carnivore with someone and I see they are wide eyed about it then I will also give them the 96 hours fasting story also. I like to blow there minds with wonder.  Nice to hear about your friends weight loss. Did he start Carny because of you? either way it's good to hear

Congrats to you as well.  I was really interested in knowing the blood ketones and I will use them on the next fast after that as well. From there, I am not sure. I bought the test kit and it came with either ten or twelve testing strips. It was like $35 for the lance, looks like 25-30 lancets, and the meter. Another set of test strips is like $40-50. I'm not sure I see the point (sort of cheap on a lot of things) I work rotating 12-hour shifts. Four nights followed by three days, then three nights followed by four nights. As I am finding it is really hard for me to eat a gram of protein per pound of ideal bodyweight (that does not even count the needed fat to make that a high fat/moderate protein approach vs the high protein/moderate fat approach). Right now, that is a lot of food. My plan for next month is to fast on the three nights and the four nights, make an attempt to hit the protein mark on the other days but not gorge myself chasing a number. The protein chase is to gain some muscle, but I am not lifting to be the next Mr. Universe/Mr. Olympia. At 55, that ship has sailed. "spreading the word"..... when I say I only eat meats, salt and water one group of people look at me like I am crazy and the other group at that point automatically have a Medical degree and tell me how I should be eating. Then bring up the fact I am going 96 hours without eating, nothing but water/salt, and that first group looks at me like I should be committed to an asylum and the second group uses their newfound medical degree to start CPR or a lobotomy, depending on their newly found specialty.  Maybe the bright spot in that is a younger guy at work. He gave Carnivore a try, it started working early, and he has been doing for several months now. He told me this morning he was -46lbs. Another theory of mine, I waited til I was 55 and just about beat down form life's choices and it has worked wonders for me. This guy didn't have any serious medical issues other than being fat. It looks like it is working faster and more effectively if the canvas is a bit cleaner. I am guessing the earlier and healthier one starts the even better the end result will be, but that is just an opinion of mine. Scott

Thanks everybody - All this talk about fish made me hungry, so I ran to aldi for a huge piece of salmon. That's soaking up a little smoke on the pellet grill right now and will be our OMAD for this afternoon.  I just did a little lemon-pepper and paparika and I'll have butter for dipping at meal time. Quick, simple and delicious. The wife suggested a pizza from aldi until I showed her the label and it is 36 grams of carbs per 1/8 slice. She said no way we are  eating that 😂.  

Congrats on your weight loss so far. 4 years later and I will still get "Disaster Pants" maybe once a year or so. Who knows why?. Doesn't matter because it's still better digestion and elimination than when on a SAD diet. Now when I think about it for a minute, it happens to me when I overdo my fat consumption. Yes, That my reason for sure.  Because of how GREAT I feel when fasting I wish I could do it all the time. For me it's an amazing energy boost, and yes it will last for a few days after the fast has ended. as you refill your system with food it must take a while for that effect to go away.  I used cronometer for a while to track my food but it became too big a PITA and just stopped doing that. I never tracked blood levels of anything. Now I just go by how I feel and how my pants fit. When i have to pull the belt out of the closet then I know I'm on the right track. Currently I'm the lowest in weight since probably middle school. I was very overweight from kindergarten on. Carny has fixed all that and more. I recently stopped all the cheese I was eating, which wasn't a lot by the way and have started losing weight again. Down 3-4 more pounds this week alone. 7 pounds from my next goal weight.  Great luck to you (and us all) for continued success!
