Well, for my non intentional party trick I would have used rib eye. :D

Ann, blood markers always improve when weight is lost regardless of the diet, which I'd imagine was very much the impetus for him to get people to scratch their heads and think he's a genius, yeah and it worked very well, I mean you just brought it up after all this time. Unfortunately it doesn't work the other way around…

Yeah, that's interesting and would help no doubt. I use about half the normal amount of water for cooking the spaghetti so I end up with a pretty starchy water. I use a lot of cheese, just saying and in a sperate bowl I mix that cheese with some of the pasta water before I start to put the dish together to make an…

It's always interesting to see the differences in traditional dishes. For example I don't use any olive oil or garlic. It's funny that cheese based dishes in Italy seem to avoid garlic like this one and alfredo, carbonara, Pasta alla Gricia, Bucatini all'Amatriciana for example.

I suggest you get in contact with a registered dietitian, endocrinologist or a PCP and discuss your situation. imo

Depends on what the factors were of what and why something might have improved their health and then, and only then, can they make that determination. If your talking weight loss, then, all you really need to do is eat less food (some people refer to food as calories) and it really doesn't matter what food your eating,…

Doctor: you've lost a lot of weight 60lbs and you no longer need medication for your diabetes because it's regressed, and your triglycerides have lowered from 325 to 61 and your HDL went up, good work. Patient: my arthritis in my knees and hands are gone and my psoriasis completely clear up and my mental clarity and…

That's not the way it works. It's not gut bacteria that breaks down lactose it's an enzyme called lactase that breaks down lactose in the small intestine before it ever gets to our colon where most of our gut bacteria is. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus can help manage the symptoms of lactose intolerance reducing gas,…

Home made venison sausage, 3 eggs, and a glass of kefir.

Yeah, that's not the way human nutrition works. A good story though. Also a carnivore diet isn't an all protein diet, there's actually more fat. Adding plant food to a carnivore diet increases inflammation that can effect the epithelial cells in the lining of our gut that can disturb the tight junctions which leaks causing…

Watched that twice.

Yeah for sure, although some 6" are as high as 750 calories. Health conscience people are one demographic of many and I'm sure they'll make good choices elsewhere as well, those aren't the ones I'm referring to. If most Americans were health conscience then we wouldn't be seeing around 75% of the population fat.

1000 calories on average of some the crappiest and highly processed foods around. But, that's not going to stop many people, and hasn't.

Good for you. I'll just mention a few things. A protein shake made with whey or casein and milk for example is still carnivore as is most dairy. Also being in ketosis is not the focus at all like people on keto, where it's the goal . therefore a lot of people on carnivore are continually going in and out of ketosis simply…

I'm not trained or have any medical credentials just what I've learned over the course to deal with my personal health concerns where Insulin resistance was one of them, which I totally reversed in less that a month, that was years ago which I still maintain. Just getting that out there. How many carbs you eat, well,…

:D Well springer, you've left no doubt of your love for the sweeter things in life. :)

I fact checked myself because I thought this seemed way too high and found this to be inaccurate and it was based on a reliable source and made the assumption it was good but after revisiting they obviously made a clerical error which didn't come to light until reading further. Anyway, it's difficult to get accurate…

Ok robert apology accepted. I never said "4mg a day (averaged) is adequate" and I've not given what a carnivore optimally needs either because it's not known because of the absorption and metabolic differences that challenge that absorption, and my only claim was that 10mg's was sufficient enough to stave off scurvy. I…

I've made that quite a bit over the years and it's basically referred to as liver parfait and yes very keto friendly. Chicken liver, butter, onion, garlic, brandy are all there, your just missing some fresh thyme and heavy cream and a little salt for balance. Yes very yummy on a cracker or some decent bread and my SO likes…

Hey springer, good question. The original refined oil was cottonseed so basically oil from my shirts and pants :D Basically any seed and some fruit have natural oils in them and they get extracted. Olive oil is a fruit oil, simply because olives are classified as a fruit. Olive oil has been used for thousands of years as…

Originally I mentioned that liver has 25-30 mg's of Vit. C and that in the carnivore community scurvy has not been seen. You then found a case study from 25 years ago of a guy living mostly as a hermit in rural Appalachia consuming only a canned meat product called Bunker Hill canned beef in gravy and that wasn't found out…

Well calories are not food, so yeah calories don't matter. :#

Well audrey, let me just say your on the right track. I suspect your trying to reduce the amount of processed foods that are so prevalent in the diet (73%) with around 10,000 food additive allowed which both contribute to the chronic inflammation and disease that effect the permeability of our gut lining, not to mention…

Ok, good for you. / Without injecting too much science, which I guilty of doing ad nauseum I'll just say there's other factors that influence our inflammatory state like physical inactivity, stress, our sleep quality but the main one is associated with diet. The inflammation shows up as increased visceral fat, which is…

Blasphemy, this is a card carrying calorie site, don't you know. :#

That's true, especially when in a particular stint when he's upping his intensity. Keto is his foundation for his energy source but like most athletes you do what's necessary to win. Personally when I play hockey and I'm keto, I will have some carbs before hand and that's called a "targeted ketogenic diet" but I can run or…

Depends on the athletic performance that is asked. If it's high intensity aerobic performance that's asked for, then no, a keto diet isn't optimal. Fat delivers more energy as a substrate on a per gram basis but there's a need for more oxygen to produce the same amount of energy and like I said, when the performance is of…

Maybe explain the science behind that, I'm sure people doing or thinking of doing the lion diet might find it interesting and not quite sure what "deep ketosis" even means, it's not a scientific term and I'm guessing @PiPDream01 picked it thinking it might describe the lion diet when comparing to say, something like keto…

Yeah, the Randle Cycle is interesting especially when competing for entry into the mitochondria, it's an obscure bio chemical process that isn't widely know. As far as MCT's are concerned which I take on my workout days don't compete with other dietary fatty acids and are absorbed by the gut and then directly transported…

The only actual data I could find was from the FDA and from the data of around 29,000 people taking Ozempic they found 33 people with osteoporosis with none, 0, under 50 yrs old which works out to around 0.11%. Basically all the people with osteoporosis where elderly. Most in their late 50 and up and without actually…
