I used to fast 18 hours every day, all week for 4 years. It did nothing but slow my metabolism down further.

Now I chug down 250ml of protein rich milk every morning to keep the protein flow active all day and I'm noticing a slight difference. It's only been 1 month though and I wouldn't call my conclusions definitive.

Definitely eat less. I am 191cm by 87kg and I plan to stabilize myself to 1800cal/day.

Maybe 2100cal are too much for your metabolism?

The hardest thing about being carnivore is the transition. A lot of people are mentally prepared to beat themselves up in the gym, but they are not mentally prepared for the emotional rollercoaster of breaking a carb addiction or the fear that eating only meat is somehow dangerous--which is amplified by all the discomfort of withdrawal & the lack of fat adaption.

The transition pains vary from person to person, both in symptoms & duration, but can be very flu like. Hangry cravings are pretty much inevitable & everything that isn't sugar may temporarily taste like cardboard. Dying organisms in your gut release chemicals that manipulate your mood & responses to certain foods. Generally after about 2 weeks people feel dramatically better, but it does take longer for some.

Ability to work out or run with the same intensity as before can take time to recover. Your body has to get good at predicting & producing all needed glucose for high intensity activities. It's helpful to think of it similarly to the adjustment that comes with working out at high altitude, however, recovery from all exercise should generally be better & faster.

Focus on consuming fatty meats (not chicken), saturated fat is your friend. If you want to burn fat you need to eat fat. Carbs & sugar put you in a hormonal state that produces fat rather than burning it. Calories are mostly irrelevant. Your brain is the most resource hungry organ & will consume much more energy in the form of ketones & glucose (produced by your liver) after you become fat adapted. So you will actually be able to consume more calories from meat without gaining weight.

It's important to distinguish between carb cravings & real hunger, if steak or eggs or salmon don't sound good then it's probably not real hunger. But when you are really hungry, eat as much steak & eggs & other real foods as you want. Liver & other organs are NOT necessary, & based on my experience may even be detrimental. Keep things simple & consistent.

After 5+years of carnivore, fatty steaks, eggs & lots of salt every day, my blood pressure is lower than when I started. BP dropped from ~130/80 to ~100/60. Everything the fiat medical industry has to say about diet is wrong. Fat is not a body type. Stop listening to them & fix your health. Most "incurable" health issues are curable.

The noises from this block clock are awesome. Always reminds me of mother from the first Alien movie.

Blue sky had to shut off sign-ups yesterday because their infrastructure couldn't handle the deluge.

Did nostr get many new users?

Paper straws. The beginning of the end of an empire.

Would you be willing to talk to her

My sisters place is pretty small. I’m worried she’s gonna waste money making a 2nd kitchen when she doesn’t even have any other clients beside me yet.

Did you have a large house? I’m trying to convince my sister not to take a loan on her BTC to create a 2nd kitchen in her smallish house.

Does anyone on here run a food service business out of their house?

Curious if it makes sense to build a 2nd kitchen in the room next to your house or try to to start a ghost kitchen.

Moving to Florida?😉

Happy Father's Day to all legends out there.

Is it carnivore approved?

wtf are you trying to do?
