Sometimes that helps.  Upping activity helps, too.  Are you lifting?

No lifting .

My next goal is when I drop 30 pounds I will go back to martial arts classes every week.

Oof.

You should really consider lifting or at least bodyweight exercises.  Being in a caloric deficit for a long time along with no weight training means you'll be losing muscle mass as well.

ETA: Walking what I recommended earlier helps preserve muscle mass in your legs and core.  You wouldn't start at 10K, you'd work your way up there.

My wife and I hit 6 weeks yesterday. We got super busy yesterday and didn't eat until 5 pm. She said "it's been 6 weeks, let's get pizza". We got pizza and I at until satisfied.

Never again. I barely slept last night and just felt horrible. I'm carnivore from here on out.

A carb load after that, plus whatever processed foods were in/on the pizza - I can’t even imagine the bloat, headache and hangover feeling after.

Someone could have issue with an ingredient on pizza, sure.  But that is going to be a minority.  The bloat is most likely re-hydrating.

Be honest... a lot of people don't get a free ride going in to carnivore.  Diarrhea so bad it needs a new name?  

Go to 5:06 if the go to time doesn't work.

my 8 year old kid said he had a "Code Brown" at school yesterday. I asked what happened, why did he have an accident. He told me that's what he calls a deer running though the playground. I told him it's what adults have starting carnivore.

For me carnivore or keto induces a whole two shatz over the course of an evening.  Going the other way is not pleasant.  Plus the night sweats from mitochondria burning it up.

It's like the composition of what I'm losing is different this time. I think on a long enough timeline I'm going to be actually lean. I go for a heath and wellness physical every year. They did a body scan on me. The guy said "I've got some good news and some bad news. You're carrying as much muscle as a pro bodybuilder. That's the good news. The bad news is that it's covered in fat".

Maybe I'll uncover all the muscle doing this.

Keep with it, and exercise while doing so, and you will in fact shed the fat.  It is nothing short of amazing.

About two months in,  very little cheating….

I switched from an Upper/Lower split to a PPL at the gym.  Growth is gaining weekly.  Definition in my chest and shoulders, and stubborn gut fat is reducing, ab lines showing.  Quads starting to bust out, lats and neck thickening up.

My weapon of choice is a tasty sirloin with salt.  I also bought a dinky little hard boiled egg maker from Amazon.  What a great little tool, and cheap!  Plop a little water and 6 eggs in (poke a hole in them with their provided tool) and press a button and in 12 minutes you have hardboiled eggs to snack on.  Easy.

I never have cravings except for the rare desire to have a smoke or a vape. (Former smoker, vaper).

This way of eating is phenomenal.  No migraines, no sore knees, lower back, can walk 2 miles to the gym, lift heavy, 2 miles back, day in and day out.  

Now comes the heat, and the heat and humidity in Florida can
zap the energy right out of you.  Last time I did carnivore and worked out in my garage I had zero energy loss.  None.  Still lifted heavier as well.

I love meat.  Insert whatever gay joke you want.

After having the increase in energy, focus, motivation, mental clarity, etc. cheat meals arent even appealing to me anymore.

Would I love a cannoli? Sure, but the benefits of not having it are too much to risk. This is honestly the best Ive felt in I dont know how long, even when I was into body building and adderall

Im getting to work over an hour earlier, and leaving an hour earlier to get home to my daughter.

Im up and moving on the weekends by 6:30. Used to be a sloth and lay in bed on an iPad till 9 or so, or when the dog had enough and bugged me for breakfast and potty

The weight loss is just a bonus to me, the items above are all worth it.

Best part is, Im still dong the slightly "dirty" version; probably using cheese too much, a dab here and there of my favorite hot sauces, etc.

I know leg cramps are a possible side effect for carnivore, but have any of y’all experienced upper body cramps since starting carnivore?

I was doing tricep extensions yesterday and experienced a cramp so bad I was kind of worried I might have torn my tricep.  I have NEVER had a tricep cramp in my life, much less a severe one.

Also, mind your electrolytes.  If you’re doing a lot of lifting, you may need salt, magnesium, or potassium.

Red meat has all the good shit we need, but let’s be real: we don’t see lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) going to the gym.  The spend only the energy they need to.  Even on carnivore we need to remember that.

No.

I do have those beef liver collagen pills; I pop one from time to time.  No real reason, just to try it, I guess.  

I’ve experimented with “carnivore” beef protein shakes.  Definitely not carnivore in the sense of all the shit in it, but it’s also not a bad taste at all.  I don’t recommend it for regular use — to many chemicals and shit.

Beyond that, meat, butter, and eggs. I get an order of beef liver crisps once a month and they are delicious.  Beef liver might actually be the most nutritious food on Earth.  I don’t know.  It’s super dense with nutrients though.

Potassium is weird in that it takes a LOT to reach your “daily recommend value.”

For example, my electrolyte supplement has 250mg per serving, but that’s only 6%.  I was looking at some potassium pill supplements, but even ones that are simply potassium only have 100 mg per serving.

Laughs, yeah after I posted that I looked up potassium in meat.  It seems like a lot, at 250-350 mg per 3 ounces, but that still only got 6% of RDV.

When I was in OSUT I got crippling calf cramps.  Drill Sgt saw it one night when I was stumbling round trying to stretch out my calves to go back to sleep.

He made me eat 4 bananas every meal for the next week, then 2 a day after that.

I swear my piss smelled like bananas after the third or fourth day…

Why not just use no-salt, which is potassium chloride?

The energy is undeniable.  I went from an upper/lower split to a PPL and my God the results are amazing.  Going heavier for more sets plus extra recovery time.

Yes, sous vide for 18-24 hours first.


I dont have the equipment for that.

Next best option?
Yes, you do.  Take a clean dish pan, fill with hot water out of the sink.  Place steak in ziplock, remove most air, dunk in the hot water making sure to keep the ziplock seal out of the water (I use a medium paper binder).  Replace the cooling water with hot water every 30 minutes or so.  No need for 24 hours, an hour before cooking will do it, if the steak is just cold, not frozen.  Frozen might take another hour or so.  Very well worth it.  If I want hotter water, it's easy to change with our tankless water heater.

Really? So do the below steps:

Fill clean dish pan with hot water
Place zip lock bag with steak in it (most air removed, seal out of the water)
Replace water every 30 min with hot water for hour or so before cooking

Thats it? So do it with the steak cold, not room temp like when I prep ribeye? Also, Id assume I can then do my butter and salt mix before grilling it per usual?

I did read that they cook better low and slow. Should I still do that after your process?
