Day 16 Beast Mode Carnivore Challenge 🦁 💪🏼
**Supporter Livestream Wednesday at 5pm pst 8pm est.
I hope the fasting is going well for those of you that did it yesterday. It feels good for me to be in my routine and I felt super productive yesterday with all the extra time!
My dental hygienist that always cleans my teeth has seen a bunch of my YouTube videos. (She found me by accident a free years ago). 😂😂 Yesterday while she was cleaning my teeth she had all kinds of questions for me. (Which is super awkward when her hands are deep in my mouth! 🤪) She was asking about cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and fasting etc. All the kinds of questions people ask when they hear about it. She said she does dirty keto and she feels so much better when she's she's really strict. I bet she's full Carnivore before you know it. 😂 It's been fun to see her evolve over the years and ask me more and more questions.
Do you have people in your life that have asked lots of questions? Any that have come around and given it a try? It can be really frustrating when those in our lives are not willing to give carnivore a chance even though we know it could help them so much. 💔 But hopefully if you are open they will come and ask you for information when they are ready. Tell us some stories of people around you that have shocked you by giving Carnivore a try. And we'll keep praying for those who aren't ready yet! ❤️❤️
I don't typically love cooking with cast iron, despite the excellent results they can bring. It's messy and smells up the house. Add to that, the one we have is super old and not very good. We were recently gifted a really good one from Lancaster Cast Iron so today I decided to give it a try. We have a side burner on our Weber so I could do it outside. I sous vide a steak, then seared it in tallow on the new pan. Man it was incredible. What a difference it made from our old one. Super easy clean up too. Below is the pan, of course I forgot to take a picture of the steak haha.
Do you love using cast iron? What are some favorites you make in them?
Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
“Your system is perfectly designed to get the results you are currently getting.”
Our pastor shared this quote on Sunday in relation to our spiritual lives, but it struck me how true it is for every area of our lives—especially health and weight loss. The habits, routines, environment, and choices that make up our daily system are quietly producing the results we’re seeing right now. If we want different outcomes with our bodies, energy, and health, we have to intentionally redesign those systems: the food we keep in the house, the routines we follow when we’re tired or stressed, the people and environments we surround ourselves with, and the small daily decisions that either support or sabotage our goals.
When we’re unhappy with the results we’re getting, the instinct is often to keep the same systems in place and simply try harder, be stricter, or white-knuckle our way through, but it’s almost always easier and more effective to step back and change the system ...

I totally agree with the idea of carnivore being a spectrum. I used to be obsessed with being super strict and honestly, I was getting results, but it was mentally and emotionally taxing. Now, I have the mindset of sustainability and have allowed some foods back in to help me maintain a (mostly) carnivore diet and help me keep up with my needed high fat intake.
Where are you on the Carnivore Diet Spectrum? Leave a comment!
I love to see where everybody is at. We are all so different!
