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?
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.

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 Monday, and the last day of the month!! June went by so fast!! I am pretty proud of myself with how June ended up. Beast Mode went really well for me and I am feeling back to my leaner self. I am also pretty proud I was able to get into a good routine of being more active. Unfortunately I am ending the month with a set back, I tweaked my knee this weekend (the one I previously had surgery on) so I have had to take it easy on extra steps for a couple days. It's a good reminder I need to find a balance between being active and not overdoing it.

What has been your biggest win for the month?

Hey fellow meat lovers! 60 YO female, breast cancer survivor on hormone blocker. I’ve been on this carnivore woe since April and have already lost 20 pounds. I feel great in my joints, but I’m constantly struggling with my energy level. I’m drinking a packet of electrolytes every day, but I’m not eating much, just eating until I’m comfortably full as Dr Berry recommends. Do you have any tips for me?
