Thank you to everyone that hung out on the YouTube Livestream yesterday. I hope you have had a wonderful week. I am looking forward to a long weekend with family celebrating the Resurrection. ✝️ Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. Looking forward to church and hanging out with some friends this weekend.
What are your plans for the weekend?
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.
Laura had a big rant on her YouTube live the other day about cravings. Many will tell you that when you switch to carnivore they will go away. For some, maybe that's true.
Like the loose skin, for many, it doesn't go away. So what now then? Just like lifting makes you stronger, being disciplined does the same. It gets easier to resist over time. Wins and results drive resolve. When it comes down to it, you just have to say no, as tough as that can be. Every day is a choice and the more good choices you make, the easier it gets.
How are your cravings post carnivore? Did they go away, get better, or do you fight them daily?
Picture just because I love picanha and am excited to make some for @Flyinval this weekend
Today starts the special coupon code Equip has given me to help celebrate my birthday. Their entire site is 22% off (my birthday is the 22nd). The sale runs through Monday the 20th.
What's special about Equip is that it is a Beef Isolate protein powder (so no issues with dairy sensitivities like a whey protein). They have an unflavored version which is 100% carnivore, the only ingredient is Beef Isolate Powder. They have lots of other flavored options as well that are sweetened with Stevia, they all are very low carb (except the cinnamon roll flavor has a bit more carbs).
We use the protein powder to make pancakes, my kids love them. My Mom also puts a scoop of the protein powder (and a scoop of the Equip unflavored collagen powder) in her hot tea each morning. Lots of people put it in coffee as a replacement for creamer.
It's really the perfect option for people who are struggling to eat enough, one scoop is 20 grams of protein. For people like my Mom and my kids it's a great...
I didn’t cave at the wedding reception! It ended up being a huge taco bar with beef, pork, and chicken so I could’ve made a meaty plate with cheese and sour cream but I’m Lion so didn’t eat anything. 1- I thought I’d look less weird not eating at all than eating just a plate of beef 2-spices on the meat were more than just salt. 3- I did eat a steak before.
I didn’t even go near the dessert table!
I have been eating burgers for lunch and steak for dinner this past week.
