LOL, ok, never mind, carry on.

Scientific interpretation is a carnivore diet will cause heart disease from all that saturated fat and red meat. Scientific truths are like I said the hard sciences like bio chemistry where saturated fat actually influences particles size of LDL which is less atherogenic and reduces heart related events when used to…

Do research on statins which might save a lot of people a lot of money and the side effects, let alone the overall reduction in the cost of healthcare in general. Instead of medication a symptom try reducing chronic inflammation because the simple fact is that cholesterol has pretty much no effect on arterial damage…

I'll put this in your "and other things" category For me after years of struggling to maintain any weight loss it was to actually consume foods that contain a lot of fat and animal protein while at the same time removing most carbs, almost all. I just ate until I was full then just repeated that process, so hunger was a…

Google is your friend.

Hard boiled eggs do it for me.

Learn to be more creative which could help the overwhelming desire, and I won't go as far as saying addictived to consuming carbs. Here's some recipes that are not just hamburger patties or plain steak. Here's around 1300 keto and low carb recipes.

A 3 egg omelet with a side of about 100g's of smoked salmon, red onion, capers and sour cream and some fancy sparling water from some mountains in another country, lol.

If it just for weight loss, then you'll probably crash and burn, if it's for health, then that would make more sense considering the vast majority of people that are on carnivore do it for that, and where weight loss is not very high on the list, actually quite far down the queue. .

That's about right. If you have a lot of body fat then prioritizing dietary fat might not always be necessary simply because body fat can serve as an energy source and is essentially the principal behind fat adaption where the body transitions using both dietary and stored as an energy source. This also helps to assist in…

It's like being a kid in a candy store. I'm still amazed at how much there is to learn and that's after many many years. I'll only say that one of the most important tenants of nutritional investigation is to seek out truth, that is what science is and in order to do that it's imperative that what you think you know should…

Not sure what your eating but consuming mostly whole foods with a focus on quality protein, which is animal or should be animal based and reducing as much as you can any processed foods while also reducing "some" starchy carbs generally help with satiety a lot, which helps quite a bit while working with intermittent…

A 4 egg omelet with left over chicken thigh meat, shallots, mushrooms, diced red pepper, peperoncino, real cheddar with my go to arugula, red onion, campari tomato, goat feta, evoo salad with some maldon and fresh pepper, with some San Pellegrino finished with an espresso. 😀 One of my classic keto meals.

There's many interpretations of keto diets and many people fall out from one that might not be formulated properly, it's mostly hormonal where the satiety signaling mechanism isn't fully engaged properly, which circles back to how the keto diet is formulated and of course the adaption period varies quite a bit and…

Well it looks like 50 to 70% of the American population can include insulin resistance to their metabolic status and it's difficult to pin down the exact % because it overlaps with prediabetes diabetes and obesity and the fact many haven't bothered to find out. For that demographic it is essential to be proactive and…

Another carnivore candidate. ☺️

Well, you should be discussing this with professionals that have experience. Of course there's many reasons why hypoglycemia happen and why it's important to consult a professional, simply because it can put a person in a life threatening situation where medical care is essential. For example you could have early signs of…

Ok, I hear you. If this is a one off then I wouldn't worry too much because most meat cooked to med rare will generally never loose that much weight, not even close really. I've been keto for a donkey's age, over a decade and eat lots of ribeye's and just giving you my experience.

Well, there's about 70% water by weight in most red meat and if someone was to leave that meat on the heat long enough eventually you could theoretically reduce a 1 pound (454g's) steak to around 140 grams. Personally I've never had that happen and most ribeye's I cook weight about the same, it's called rare to med rare. I…

30% may not be low enough to elicit the hormonal responses needed in order to facilitate the weight loss that you've probably read or heard about which leads to fairly easy weight loss.

I see, I wasn't aware of your health concerns. There's generally twice as much arginine in plant protein compared to meats in general though.

 Grade A Amber Maple Syrup! It's a natural sweetener that doesn't spike your blood sugar! ConstanceArcher I've been keen keeping my sugar intake to a minimum and I've used CGM's many times over the years. Yeah, no, it absolutely does spike your blood sugar and for me it increased my blood glucose by 35 mg/dl. Not sure…

Ok, this is a little confusing then. Arginine is not an essential amino because humans can and do synthesis around 15 to 20g's a day through the urea cycle and from protein turnover where the amount found in creatine is almost negligible. Anyway, individuals react differently because we are different individuals.😁

Maybe looking at specific vegetarian recipe sites might be advantageous for you and then all you have to do is add those ingredients from those recipes in MFP. Just a thought. For example I'm keto and eat predominantly animal protein and I would never count on finding properly formulated keto recipes here.

A lot harder simply because I would be all over the food from street vendors in Taiwan. 😃

Yeah, creatine serves a different purpose creating ATP that allows for more energy if applied properly during high-intense activity. Creatine being a compound made up of three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine and not a complete protein which doesn't provide the array of amino's required for muscle synthesis…

I'm low carb which is mostly, almost all food are whole foods, which you might find interesting and many recipes would compliment a diet that isn't low carb.

Thanks Ann and agree with your basic premise. If a person was already consuming a mostly whole food balanced diet then they would generally be consuming enough fiber where they more than likely are getting enough. Unfortunately the vast majority of the US population is consuming around half, 50% of their calories from…

It's an average and it would be a fluke if an any actual piece of fresh produce actually corresponded with whosever data base. All you can do is be reasonably close and how much a person eats and how much they actually burn is also just a guess and the closer you are the better off you are of achieving your caloric goals,…

Depends on the individual, I got rid of all my IBS symptom problems like constipation, bloating, gas and cramping by removing fiber to a much lower amount which made for a much better microbiome for me.
