Do you think it's better to switch the diet radically to carnivore only or reducing and replacing food gradually ?

to each their own but I had a ton of success just going all in.

mark sissons book Primal blueprint really clicked with me.

watch him on Rogan. great episode. led me buying and loving his book.

anyway, he says go hard core keto for two weeks while getting a good exercise in. (whatever that means for you) takes about two weeks to get your metabolism reoriented. then you start working back in the carbs you want to eat regularly.

-best to completely eliminate breads and processesed foods and go whole foods.

I no longer even think about snacks when I eat mainly meat.

-when I want bread I eat it. (lile when I'm out or whatever)

I don't know where you are in your reeducation journey so if you eat highly processed food all day, you may want to approach this as an elimination diet.

the goal is to have a new lifestyle not be on a perpetual diet.

nobody likes to diet. like I said, I don't even think about food anymore.

i have an electrolyte imbalance that carnivore diet can't fix, and i already have celiac so bread was really never on the agenda, and this also was how i ended up with an electrolyte imbalance

for me that means i have to pay a lot more attention to hydration and salts... i need potassium and magnesium and quite simply meat is not the best source of either of these minerals... milk is kinda good for K but magnesium the best is stuff like cabbage and spinach and lettuce, magnesium is the centre of the molecule that makes greens green, and potatoes and bananas are also both good for K, and no problem with celiac

it has been confusing for me because of my kidney problems, and i think it's something that potentially other people considering carnivore need to be aware of - it may not be helpful to them without the addition of good sources of especially the alkali metals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium)

of course, once the minerals are in better balance, the carnivore diet is more appropriate, i think

Curious if you eat any organ meats?

Also, Id think that eating a variety of nuts would help.

Magnesium and zinc are the only supplements Im really religious about. —Otherwise I count on snacks like Sprouted pumpkin seeds, pecans, cashews.

Ground flax, hemp seed and chia seed are always blended into any protein shakes I drink also.

I mix em them together and keep them in the freezer. Quick scoop.

Easy.

yeah, nuts are good for zinc and potassium, i wasn't aware they were good for magnesium, but it makes sense

i would eat more all kinds of things but they simply are not available anywhere near me on madeira... even in the centre of the capital city here it's hard to find things, but i could not live near there

i would guess that kidney is good for health of the kidney... liver is nice, it's just hard to eat a lot of it and it's better boiled than fried... it makes a nice addition to a mince, about 10-20% liver in mince and it is sooo much more tasty

but anyhow, potassium, in particular, is a thing in plants, that's what the K stands for in NPK... it's the weakest link when you have a chronic dehydration issue, caused by excessive consumption of diuretics (eg alcohol, caffeine, sugars)
