Quite possibly this ends in a pop.. Though I do think the market will just eat up the losers' coins much more easily now.

After 3 months of strict* carnivore diet i can now make the decision on how to move forward.

Considering I have been living ketogenic for the past 12 years and i was already focussing more on whole foods instead of the dirty (processed) keto foods this was very easy to slide into. I didn't get bored with eating mostly meat either.

I did not notice a lot of benefits compared to the way i was already living, but i did not really expect that. The best thing i could have done for comparison was getting my bloodwork done before and after, but i didn't.

I may have had less seasonal allergies which i usually have from around March until August/September, but since this is not consistent anyway it's hard to gauge the effect of carnivore on this. I also suffer from eczema on my lower legs every now and then but 3 months is too short to tell if this is a thing of the past now.

I do think i put on some additional muscle, most likely due to the fact that my protein intake became higher due to eating so much beef. Otherwise i did not change anything to my workout regime.

Since i knew the day would come where the 3 months are up i started investigating if and how i wanted to move forward. Since i strive for optimal health i don't want to shy away from adding veggies again if this would improve health and that is how i learned about hormesis. Since some plants contain toxics it can put your body under stress, which turns out to not always be a bad thing. We are meant to endure stress in our lives (and not just the mental kind). It means i will add tiny amounts of specifc plants in my diet to invoke a stress response and make my body stronger and more resilient. This will be in the form of (for example) 2 small florets of broccoli every week, or a handful of spinach, a half handful of berries and a cup of green tea.

I still have to figure out what the final form look like and i'm actually a little nervous about putting these things back in my body.

Apart from that i will stick to carnivore for all of my commonly required nutrients. I enjoy it and i see no reason to give that up.

TL;DR: It was a success, moving on to carnivore with hormesis.

* Considerations of strictness:

- I included dairy, like raw milk and full greek yogurt, but not on a daily basis.

- I still had 3 cups of espresso on most days.

- I ate seasoned sausages and burgers too so there may have been small amounts of herbs here and there.

Cool post Jeroen. Will you get blood work done now and compare it with say 6 months from now?

Interesting to see how it goes. I've gone for mostly meat myself and I've been very pleased with how I feel.

Nah not right now.

Check out mempool.space for an idea of fee rates.

You're paying ~3 sat/vB right now πŸ˜ƒ. If your transactions are simple you're looking at <1k sats in fees.

At these prices the 1000 sat utxo is not likely to be a "real" utxo, but rather an utxo which was created for a non-monetary purpose, such as storing and transmitting arbitrary data.

Is this showing a btc gain or just a dollar gain denominated in sats?

The recent discussions regarding OP_RETURN and spam have helped me deepen my understanding of bitcoin. This includes your perspective and talks. I'm sure you can contribute πŸ˜ƒ.

That's milk in Dutch πŸ˜ƒ

Yes yes, I am aware πŸ˜ƒ. Good thing we're free to run whatever we want, and are also free to not update if we want πŸ€“
