I'll never say I'm 100% perfect, but basically eliminated. Once a month or less, only very special occasions
~4 months into carnivore and the best rhythm I've found is:
2lbs of 80/20 ground beef, cooked in ghee on high heat so it's partially crispy/partially raw, plenty of salt, once per day (I prefer evening around 4-6).
The early days of choking it down while daydreaming about carbs are over. Those cravings have completely subsided; this pile of fatty goodness tastes delicious every single time now.
One of the best food-mentality upgrades I've received over the course of this journey has been learning the difference between CRAVINGS and HUNGER.
If you're salivating at the thought of a bowl of juicy meat, that's a hunger signal. Your body is ready for nutrient ingestion.
If you're salivating for carb/sugar bombs like potato chips, candy, or bread, that's a craving, i.e. not a natural hunger signal but an EMOTIONAL signal your brain is sending you to seek the nearest taste-bud party.
The former is a natural, primal urge that's kept our species alive and thriving for millions of years.
The latter is a modern phenomenon brought about by industrialized agriculture, and more recently specialized laboratories ran by Big Food companies tasked with disarming the hunger signals described above, and replacing them with insatiable, constant cravings for their product.
"You are the carbon they want to reduce."

War is a racket.
nowhere close to comparable in average volume of product applied though, no?
i don't know a single dude that wears regular makeup, very few that apply hair product.
nearly every girl i know does both (daily)
Cosmetics are the new cigarettes for women.
Question: Do you know if there are any post-scheduling tools available for nostr yet? Or do you hand-write these every morning?
Horrible decision. The average fiat bank is sketchy enough...but UBS is probably the last one I'd want to touch right now as it's stuck holding Credit Suisse's nuclear sludge bags on top of everything else.

TLDR: You're already being screwed, but the suck has only just begun if you continue to let these old-timers drag you even further down the path to financial abyss. Study #Bitcoin and acquire the skills you need to free yourself 🍊💊📚 http://WhyBitcoinOnly.com
Every great creation in history began with an idea.
Ideas require efficient brain function, and the freedom/time to explore deeper thought.
The importance of bringing humanity back to a place that fosters these virtues at scale cannot be overstated. Truly a "battle for the fate of the world" scenario, no hyperbole.
So...what do we do?
Among a mess of different factors contributing to the modern throttling of our species, there are two very clear changes that, when implemented at scale, will catalyze a tremendous amount of progress in getting us there:
1) Fix the money 👉 #Bitcoin
2) Fix the health 👉 #CarnivoreDiet
This is why the majority of my life this past year has been dedicated to promoting education on these two paradigm-shifting tools. I don't believe there are any two missions with as powerful of potential to create positive change in the world, and I will happily defend that opinion on any stage, big or small.
Simply put, by bringing these two disruptors (#BTC + #Carnivore) to the mainstream—and eventually cementing them as default norms all humans are born into—we will fix a tremendous amount of harm brought about by #FiatWorld, and chart a new course for humanity toward thriving health, happiness, and economic abundance.
Of course, supplanting these two arms of the status quo (fiat money & fiat health) on a global scale will not be easy. Both are as deeply entrenched into modern society as anything, as displayed by the sheer amount of money/power propping each up, as well as the tremendous amount of pushback one inevitably receives when questioning the official narrative on either among a group of "normies" in the wild.
But we're not here for easy.
We're here to change the world.

Any design folks out there know how I can download a plain-white, no-background #Nostr logo as an SVG file?
Thought this would be simple but I've been failing for hours. Every online PNG➡️SVG converter I plug it into spits out either an all white canvas, or a white logo inside a black square 🤬

This is not talked about enough (even by loud #carnivore proponents like myself)
It's practically impossible to be overweight when you're eating a proper human diet of only meat, because:
a) Your body's hunger signals become sharp as a tack; you actually feel full when you're supposed to (and thus stop eating naturally) vs. when you eat carbs, and your brain hits you with cravings even when your stomach is full
b) Removal of carbs puts you in Ketosis, i.e. your body transitions to burning bodyfat stores for energy. This does not happen when you're confusing it with carbs
As a personal anecdote, I've been less physically active in the last year than any other in my life, as I've been obsessively focused on building my online business. My average day consists of ~16hrs of grinding on my laptop, with very few breaks, gym maybe once every 1-2 weeks. (Certainly not encouraging this type of lifestyle; it's just where I'm temporarily at given timing & life priorities)
Despite being less active than at any other point in my life, my bodyfat percentage has DROPPED vs. gym-heavy years prior, and my (modest) muscle mass refuses to go away, despite my only getting a solid workout in roughly once every 1-2 weeks.
This would be UNHEARD OF back when I was devouring fruit bowls, wHoLe gRaiNs, and spinach salads daily. All of those carbs + sugars equalled inevitable belly growth and puffiness across my body, particularly if I didn't exercise like a madman to offset it.
Now, I don't have to worry about this at all. As long as I keep the #CarnivoreDiet variable strict, it's effectively impossible not only to get fat, but to gain any weight at all outside of my normal lean range.
Dr. Anthony Chaffee talks about this often. Dude is insanely busy between his work as a practicing doctor, traveling the world to speak at conferences and building his podcast, and is thus only able to hit the gym around once a month. Despite this, he maintains a .01% physique effortlessly since he remains religiously-strict on the proper human diet.
The example that sticks with me is lions at the zoo. These animals are clearly capped in their physical activity, especially compared to their wild family members sprinting all over the Sahara Desert to stay alive. They basically sit there and get tossed slabs of meat by zookeepers all day every day, maybe walking around a little bit in between naps, but nothing more.
But even with this extreme handicap in physical activity...they STILL remain lean and muscular. You will never see a fat lion.
Why?
BECAUSE IT STILL EATS A STRICTLY CARNIVORE DIET, AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO.
This is why I constantly beat the drum of the importance of exercise being overrated, and the importance of diet being underrated.
When you eat a perfect diet, you can break a lot of other rules (namely regular physical activity) and still maintain a relatively healthy baseline. This is NOT the case for exercise. As the old moniker goes: "You can't outrun a bad diet."
TLDR: When you stay true to the proper human diet (#Carnivore), becoming unhealthily overweight becomes practically impossible. Whether you are very active, very sedentary, or anywhere in between, #CarnivoreDiet should be the foundation of your health plan if you wish to look and feel your most optimal 💪🥩
