For the first time, my side gig made more money than my regular job this month.
She looks so much like my daughter's cat! I'm not really a cat person but this one kind of got to me.
You hear a lot in certain circles about holistic planned managed grazing. After what I saw last Saturday with what prescribed burns and management can accomplish in our area in woodlands, I think we also need to start talking about holistic planned browsing.

I'm hoping nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n will do a TSP episode one day on prescribed burns. Granted it is a bit esoteric and the details can be different in different climates, but it should still make an interesting episode and get people started thinking in new directions. There are several people with the Missouri Department of Conservation who would be well qualified to do a show, here's hoping someone steps up to the table.
I've been working to get up to speed on woodland management practices. This weekend, I was able to attend a nearby woodland workshop put on in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Conservation, and that Ozark woodland property showed similar processes happening after nine years of careful thinning and prescribed fire. The difference is remarkable.
If you live east of Springfield, MO, there is an effort to get a prescribed burn association going for our area that looks like it is going to get some traction this year!

Johnny Cash singing "Barbie Girl" to "Folsom Prison Blues" courtesy of AI is making the rounds. Not bad for double blasphemy. LOL
Will AI "performances" like this lead to a higher value on live in-person performances? Seems likely to me.
And I found this painted rock from the Joplin JRPP page just past the bridge.

I didn't realize it was hidden. I'm not sure if it's hidden for everyone or if it's just slow to load, or maybe only available through certain relays. I'm on amethyst mostly.
Over 4 months enjoying the magic of carnivore/very low carb. I'm going to have to shop for a new belt right away. I'm going to hold off on pants and shirts although I can definitely go down at least a full size.
I know I didn't post a full body picture, but the reality is the metabolic function, energy, cognitive function, lowered inflammation, and body composition changes are more dramatic for me than the weight loss. And these were all things I felt like I just couldn't make much progress on in spite of my knowledge and efforts.

I'll have to think about that. Sounds like an interesting combination and I love Chilis.
More burgers will be cooked tomorrow about 10:00 in the morning. You just need to let me know if you want to add butter, mild cheese, aged cheddar cheese, or parmesan cheese on it. :)
A food photographer I am not, but I make really good smashburgers.

Clean keto can be great, but there is a certain magic to the carnivore diet.
1. Carnivore is an elimination diet and can be great for teasing out food intolerances and sensitivities.
2. It is simple and easy.
3. It can be more affordable than most keto., and as affordable as the average Standard American Diet
4. It is nutritionally dense.
5. It is not a calorie restricted diet.
6. It is easy for most people to shop for and learn to prepare.
7. Minor cheats will stall progress, but for most people they won't derail progress. It's easy to just go back and keep going.
The main things I see people struggle with on carnivore are
1. Not eating fat, and not eating enough food in general, especially early on.
2. Not getting enough electrolytes (mainly a good sea salt, but also magnesium and even potassium in some cases)
3. Not leaning heavy enough to meat from ruminants such as beef.
4. People who have Alpha Gal symptoms are probably going to have to do something different.
5. Some people are sensitive to excessive histamines, an issue that is mostly easily avoidable.
6. Cooking. Some people really don't know how to cook meat. Greasy smashburgers, ribeyes, and YouTube are your friends.
7. Eggs, cheese, and dairy. Many carnivores eat some of these, as do I, but they are common food intolerances. Many carnivores recommend cutting them out for the first three weeks and then adding them in one at a time to see if you react negatively.
With keto, there are a lot more ways to go wrong, and it is a lot more complex to maintain. The advantage is that it allows many, many more foods. And to be fair, Carnivore is one version of a keto diet. Similar diets include BBBE, Lion Diet, ketovore,, low carb/no carb, and, in some cases, paleo.
As I see it, for me, the carnivore diet has been a healing diet for the non-descript maladies of mitochondrial/metabolic breakdown so common to middle age in our society. A low carb diet won't fix everything for everyone, but it is one of the biggest factors most of us can easily control.
Also some of us have family members with multiple sensitivities and restricted diets, and adding one more crazy thing into the mix just isn't realistic. So for me, clean keto just wasn't practical. Carnivore was, and when I make my food, except for butter, eggs, and dairy, it is food I can also share with the entire family.

It takes a lot of fortitude to start a BBQ/weight loss channel when you are 500lbs.
