Carnivore Diet

[loco]

You order whatever cut you like, it's all customized.

One half cow of nothing but ribeye and NY Strip steaks?  I'm sure that's more expensive than buying just the half cow.

[IroNat]

About what? Anyone can tell the difference visual wise and taste wise from grass fed beef and grain fed beef, the meat looks and tastes way different, look at conventional grain fed eggs and Pasture raised eggs, grain fed the yolk is like faint yellow, Pasture raised the yolk is orange in color.

I'm naturally suspicious.

If you buy the whole cow you also get the hoofs, brains, and testicles.

That's all good eating.

Not at all the price is set, you then customize whatever cuts you want, obviously ribeye comes from a certain part of the cow so there's only a certain amount of ribeye in half a cow.

I may give that a try.  Thanks!

[Humble Narcissist]

If you're trying to get the best quality and bang for your buck, buy a half a cow or whole cow, I bought half a cow all grass fed beef for just $4 per pound, It was 300lbs all together.

That's what I used to do years ago. May do it again soon.

Interesting video citing plenty of published sources to back up its claims:

Interesting video citing plenty of published sources to back up its claims:

In college i had a Professor from Cameroon, Africa.

He said the village he grew up in ate nearly all meat.

Not a single person was obese.

Not a single person had a cavity.

They all had perfect teeth and would eat bones.

Lots of people lived to 90+ with almost zero medicines.

Random comment but the Shaman used to ask people to fart in his hut for good luck.

It was considered a blessing.

[ThisisOverload]

So, i'm about 45 days in on a full blown carnivore diet.

I must say apart from the violent diarrhea and stomach issues i had the first 3-4 weeks, it has been an amazing experience.

I'm down 8 pounds, but i have been more active as well.

I'm not lifting weights much, but doing a lot of long range hiking, mountain climbing and biking.

Pros:

My skin feels great and is "tighter" for lack of a better term.

The little aches and pains i had around my neck, shoulders and elbows are almost 100% gone.

I have a damaged knee that gives me fits, it has been solid as a rock.

Sleep has improved.

My energy levels are more stable throughout the day.

Bowel movements are like clockwork now.

I generally feel stronger and have better endurance. I can hike much further without feeling any sort of fatigue.

I love to cook beef/fish so it has been a lot of fun to smoke meats or cook them in an iron skillet.

Cons:

It's expensive, but i have the means to do it. I'm eating the highest quality grass fed beef in the area from a local butcher.

I had to stop with raw milk, it was destroying my stomach. But heavy cream and cheeses have been fine.

I do struggle to follow the diet at work, since i travel a lot. I just try to take my lunch as much as i can and if i'm stuck on a plane or something i just eat whatever is best. I travel a lot for work and go to Mexico with my GF to see her family once a month. I just do the best i can to stay on the diet.

Oddly enough my BP has gone up a lot. So i'm tracking it for a few weeks and see if it goes back down. I haven't had blood pressure this high in 15 years.

My shits/farts are so foul i think some people at the office almost got sick while walking into the bathroom. They seem like i'm releasing toxic fumes into the area.

My GF hates it, but i don't really care what she thinks. We only see each other on the weekends so she's just going to have to deal with it.

Question about beans.

I've been watching all these carnivore Doc experts and they all seem to differ a bit.

What's everyone's take on adding beans/lentils once a day?

I've been reading about health for 20 years and it seems the longest living people on Earth all have two things in common. They drink tea/coffee and/or eat beans/lentils daily.

Thoughts?

I make some mean pinto beans. Was thinking about slow cooking them in bone broth with bacon.

[IroNat]

That's interesting that you fart alot.   Gas is usually a result of eating fiber.

Fiber is only in plants.

Are you lactose tolerant?

I eat pretty much carnivore too and don't fart hardly at all and no smell.

I do eat salad a few times a week and a green vegetable occasionally.

Is there something else you are eating besides meat?

Do you eat whole eggs and cheese?

Do you eat anything else?

Beans have carbs. Same with lentils.   Also lignins I think.

Tea and coffee (in before the coffee mold guy) are full  of antioxidants and maybe the caffeine gets the elderly moving more.

Beans/lentils I'd guess is mostly for the fibre content. I do something similar with a small portion of peas, broad beans and sweetcorn with most meals. Helps a lot with satiety too.

I don't fart a lot, it's just when i do it's deadly.

I'm not lactose intolerant.

I haven't eaten a piece of fruit or veggies in 45 days.

Maybe some slices of jalapenos and onions on a steak, twice i think.

I do bast my steaks with butter, garlic and rosemary.

And i had some sushi, just the maki rolls once in the last month.

No salads or bread.

All the eggs i eat are whole, 8-10 per day.

Lots of raw cheese from Mexico, grass fed and as natural as possible.

I was curious about beans just to spice up the meal plan.

I've been very strict with fatty beef, salmon, eggs, bacon, heavy cream, raw cheese, butter for the entire duration. Had a "cheat" meal 3-4 times due to traveling constraints, but they were burger patties with no bread or fries.

Maybe from eating a higher fat diet. Or lots of eggs.

I've been a huge skeptic of the carnivore diet.

But it has a lot of science behind it.

The Vegan diet is just a fad that will pass in another 10 years.

The Vegan diet is just a fad that will pass in another 10 years.

The keto/carnivore cult is leaps and bounds more insufferable than vegans these days. People learned to lose weight eating beef, cheese and butter and they really REALLY want to tell you about it.

Also, is veganism really a fad? People have been adopting vegan diets for decades by proxy WRT animal rights, not just for health reasons.

I would consider a vegan diet if I could allocate enough tempeh/vital wheat gluten (seitan) to hit 200g protein a day for a reasonable price compared to chicken. For now its just not worth it.

[Grape Ape]

Weight loss on all these is due to calorie restriction, for the most part.

Those who get great bloodwork of one diet, are genetically built to handle it.

There is no one size fits all here.
