Happy Tuesday!
Today Kerry from HomesteadHow and his cameraman are coming to the house today to film us for the Healing Humanity Documentary! We are sharing the story of how Carnivore has reversed Chris's Type 2 Diabetes and then our weight loss and healing overall. We have some good meat to cook up for them as well during filming so that should be fun.
We are one week into the new year, and for some of you it's Day 2 (or day 1) and for some of you it's Day 7 (or more), how are you doing so far? I saw several mentions of "Meat Fatigue" yesterday, who here is experiencing that?
I personally like a variety of meats but several of you are doing beef only so that's not an option. My one suggestion is to mix textures of meat, eating burger patties over and over again can get old QUICK. How can you give yourself a different texture of beef today? Take some beef/fat scraps and crisp them up in a skillet or air fryer to eat something crispy. Can you find some beef bacon? Have a steak or go the opposite route of a slow cooked chuck roast. Or find some fatty beef ribs and get them nice and crispy in a roasting pan or broiler. Even if you're eating the same meat day after day, think about how you can mix up cuts of that meat and cooking styles to give yourself more variety. I don't know too many people (anyone really) who could just live on burger patties all the time. You don't want to make yourself so miserable you end up going back to carbs/sugar.
What are some of the things you do to help you get past meat fatigue?
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?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
Happy Wednesday!! I totally forgot until late in the day that yesterday was St. Patrick's Day 🍀, did you wear green 💚? Did you eat corned beef? That's a pretty carnivore friendly food tradition for a holiday.
It's hard for a lot of us to admit we can't deviate during the holidays or it will throw us off track for a long time. And it seems like it's always a holiday of some sort! It's also okay to grieve the fact that we can't celebrate in the same way we used to. At first new traditions feel strange but over time you begin to look forward to them.
How do you tend to handle holidays at this point? Do you miss out on all the old foods you used to have? Do you still have the old foods and just get back on track the next day? Do you have Carnivore/low carb replacements you do instead?
Hi I’m new here. I’ve been doing carnivore since beginning of February and January was hard core keto. I’ve been a diabetic for almost 10 years and in that time I have used low-carb keto to manage my blood sugars. But I kept hearing that people felt even better on carnivore so I thought I would try it. I was getting bored with meat only carnivore so I bought some yogurt. It is plain, full fat, no sugar or artificial sweeteners. For the last three dinners I’ve had a serving of it and each of those three nights I’ve woken up and needed to go pee three times. I’m not gonna have any more for the next several nights and I’m gonna see if that goes away. So it looks like
I might have a sensitivity to dairy. or at least yogurt. I used to always drink cream in my coffee and I stopped that as of February 1 too. I’m starting to wonder if it was the cream that was irritating my bladder and not the caffeine. I have been having some black coffee with a few drops of Stevia in the last...
