Well I doubt too many people here are big fans of The Liver King...not sure if you know who he is, but he's a giant muscle man on YouTube who eats raw meat and acts like a caveman. Not my kind of Carnivore obviously but he's pretty famous and he sells a lot of supplements. Well as much as he has always 100% denied that he's ever taken steroids or growth hormones. It was leaked yesterday that he is absolutely taking tons of them. Not shocking for most of us but his die hard fans are SHOCKED! Most of his loyal fans still don't believe it, even though it's been pretty obvious. They have blinders on to the possibility that he could be anything but this ideal he represents. Even when the evidence is presented they want to believe it so badly they refuse to see anything else.
My point in sharing this is that you CAN NEVER know everything about people online. It's so important that on social media you take everything with a grain of salt and don't put all your hope in one specific person (me included). I definitely try and share the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, but it's still only a small part of my life.
You have to know the reasons why you personally are doing Carnivore and not just blindly follow people you see on the internet. Ask yourself if the people you love most online were found out to be lying the entire time would you believe it? Would that be heartbreaking for you? Would that change your motivation or belief in Carnivore or your desire to eat this way? No one can live up to the perfection they represent online. If someone is representing perfection, there's likely something we're not seeing. Just remember to not believe everything you see and to keep some healthy skepticism with everything that people share. Sometimes if it's too good to be true it likely is.
**But just for the record I don't take steroids. 😜😂
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤
*Livestream Monday night at 4pm pst/7pm est
Thinking about the year ahead can be overwhelming when it comes to goal setting. For some people, like me, short term goals can be much more motivating. Right now it's beast mode through the Meetup this Saturday. That said, I do still have long term goals for the year. Staying carnivore is just a given now as it's my life already so I have to dive a little deeper for me. I'd like to stay in the same weight range but lower my body fat a bit. Gain some muscle mass in short. Gym at least 4 times a week and beast mode at the same time is my recipe.
Steak video for interest. 🤪
Do you do better with short or long term goals?
So sorry guys, my 2 1/2 hour drive home from the cabin is turning into a 5+ hour drive home so I am not going to make it in time to Livestream tonight. I'll post the link for the Dr Berry Livestream for tomorrow when I know it. I'll catch up on posts here when I get home if you have any questions.
Happy Tuesday!! So fun to hang out on the 2 different streams yesterday!!
One of the things that we talked about last night here in Locals was the dopamine and excitement that is created when you are looking forward to something (vacation, event, etc). It's one of the things that always keeps me motivated, having some specific event to work towards. That's why I did so well for the first few months of the year, I had several different conferences and events to keep me dialed in.
I realized in talking last night that's maybe why I've been struggling the last couple months. Yes travel makes things hard but when I am super focused that isn't an issue at all. Once all those big events I had been so hyper focused on ended I took a deep breath and "relaxed". And usually I come up with another event to motivate me but this time I didn't have anything specific to retain my focus.
I have been really proud of myself the last 2 days, but this was my reminder that I'm order to help keep ...

I only had one meal today. I went to a lunch/birthday at Santana's Mexican restaurant. I had the Santana fajitas
Beef,chicken,shrimp, and chorizo with sour cream and guacamole. I didn't eat the shells, beans, or rice. I took off most of the peppers and onions. I ate one of the grilled pineapple rings. I had a little salsa but no chips (that was tough), lol I don't know what the calories or macros are. I had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone 😊
I am struggling with my stretching goals (hard in am but rocking pm) and think I might add coffee in and start next month or at least when summer school is over.
We are understaffed for the number and behaviors of the kiddos we have. The teacher has never worked with early childhood- much less special needs early childhood. She’s doing ok with our help but I am exhausted and have been taking a nap after school (home by 12:30). But I have things to do! I will be away most of July and first 10 days of August and have projects I want to do now and need the energy.
Still Lion though!!!
