Carnivore diet

[Dusty Britches]

This morning on the radio they were talking to a meat association group. They pointed out that the more we eliminate meat and dairy from our diets, the more heart problems and obesity go up. They asked, why hasn't anyone questioned this over the last 50 years?? They also pointed out that in groups that ate primarily red meat and dairy in their diets had the lowest cholesterol, lowest obesity, and lowest heart risk of any other group.

I would believe this. At least, this has been the experience in our household.

I've been doing it fairly strict for 30 days, so far so good. I have had a few fresh blueberries but that's about it for sweets. Lost inches and less joint pain.

Bad thing for me about this eating lifestyle is I'm getting tired of eating brisket. Good thing though, fried pork belly (Chicharrón) fills the gap nicely.

The ultimate snack food. The bad thing is I really only like them fresh & warm, and they can be a mess to make.

Most kidney stones are made of oxalates, which come from vegetables. Listen to Dr. Ken Berry, as recommended above. Also Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Robert Cywes, Dr. Ben Edwards, and lots of others. Eating only or mostly meat will stop kidney stones, actually.

That said, don't just go carnivore all at once over night. That will likely lead to heavy oxalate dumping, which could make it worse for a while. If you decide to go carnivore, do it gradually over 3-4 months. Listen to Sally Norton, a nutritionist that understands oxalates and the harm they cause better than just about anybody else around. She has a great book on the subject.

PM sent.

LOL!

I don't know if any of y'all like eating tortilla chips like I did but I found a great chip that is grain free and that taste great! All natural ingredients and HEB carries the brand. They make other products as well.

I’ve got some of their tortillas sitting in the ice box as we speak. Can’t wait to try them.

I found some at atwoods that come in a pack like microwave popcorn, cook for a minute and they pop out warm and crunchy.

are those "ok" for the carnivore diet or just something to remove certain types of grains from your diet?

I started this morning I’m at 198. Goal is 170-175. Little nervous because I’ve got a bad sweet tooth!

They're not carnivore. They're made out of plants, just not corn. Probably better for you than regular corn chips, but they're not meat.

Sugar cravings will decrease gradually over time. If you stick with it for 30 days, getting to 90 days will be easy. The first week is the hardest with sugar addiction.

And don't use artificial "healthy" sweeteners in place of sugar. They can still trigger an insulin response just from the sweet taste. They'll just keep the addiction going. Don't eat anything sweet. Snack on pork rinds or jerky. Eat lots of fatty meat when you're having a meal. Fat will make you satiated, and that will help reduce cravings.

Just don't get crazy with it like the vegans do. I've seen some guys that are convinced that all plants are poisonous and you can only eat beef.
