Also, to address your question "It would seem to make more sense to have that goal be listed for Unsaturated Fats and have Saturated listed with a goal of 0." A goal of "0" for saturated fat intake would be impossible simply because anytime we find any kind of fat naturally in any food, plant or animal, we'll find a…

Actually reading those points with the exception of trans fats really addresses the disconnect the USDA has from the actual scientific data and a good reason to do your own research, imo. I will give them credit though for saying "synthetic trans fats" which excludes the natural ones. Anyway why saturated fat shows up is…

Your allergic to eggs but can eat them if you mix them into food, so basically your allergic looking at an egg, is that is? j/k Anyway most recipes all over the internet don't have eggs or nuts in them. Can you be more specific as to what kind of food you like, people would be more inclined to help.

Well the medication is suppose to slow digestion and I certainly wouldn't be adding that much traffic to an already jammed up highway, try reducing traffic. Less fiber solved my lifetime constipation problem which also bears out in the scientific literature, it's just not a popular opinion at the moment where fiber has…

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 also a cornerstone of democratic societies.

To quote Voltaire "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." cheers.

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…

Yeah , not tempted at all. Travelling with friends on a 15 hour golf road trip 4 years ago, late at night it was going to be McDonalds and I ordered a Big Mack and fries with a coffee. Anyway, took a bite of the burger and spit it back into the bag and finished a few fries and tossed them as well. Enjoyed the coffee which…

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.😁
