There's strong reason to suspect that IF only matters when eating a species-inappropriate diet. I see no point to it when eating carnivore. Losing an average of 4.2 pounds a week (more really since you claim to have stalled for 10 days so more like over 5 pounds a week) isn't sustainable. You can force yourself thin, but…

Also, this is a great month to go meat-only. :wink:

I am here, just don't have time to post very often. My schedule will likely get worse before it gets better. Between school and work I am averaging 73 hours a week (some worse like this one and others a little better) not counting time studying/reading. But, the department hasn't moved me into the "No-OT" category. There…

I have been here forever. And, I used to be the resident low-carb bigot / carnivore. I still am a mod here, but there's not a whole lot to do and I don't get to check in very often. I work as a Firefighter / EMT and currently (with COVID) it's consuming almost all my time. That plus I am getting my paramedic courses done…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10323001/the-carnivore-credo/p1 That was written almost 6 years ago. And, I was already a carnivore for a while there. For a long time I didn't talk about it on here. When I started, it was very fringe and unheard of. Basically, it was considered pure insanity by most…

I am a long term carnivore. I think I am at 8 or 9 years now. It could be 10. I really should go find my start date. Hell, for the longest time I was "The Carnivore" here. I think my guide to carnivore is still the one linked in the pinned discussions. LOL. I am not on here as often as I used to be. I have a new job and…

Ah my "I'm a Goat in a suit. Your argument is invalid" post was in this thread. Good memories. I stand by what I said there, even though I know it still sounds insane all these years later.

Hey, I'm not saying don't eat them. I'm saying if you're eating enough that the rounded 0.4g of carbs are a problem then you need to make better food choices. That's a lot of processed meat to make 0.4g add up to a significant amount.

Carbs are frequently rounded down. It's possible that each one is like 1.4g of carbs. Per stick they call it 1g. But, 4 sticks would be 5.6g which rounds up to 6g. So, in this case, I would definitely go with the 3g number and not the 2g number. But, if a single gram is breaking your day, you probably have other stuff…

Looks like you need the premium version. I don't have it, because I don't really track food any more. Oh well. It isn't like I eat food with net carbs anyway.

>:) Today is a great day to start. Lots of hard boiled eggs and roasts. Of course, you need to avoid all the chocolate and sweets. But you all did that anyway, right?

Yes, and while you are there, come to the dark side. We need more crazy zerocarbers.

Things aren't too bad here. Just really setting back some of my personal goals, but my home workouts have been pretty intense.

Thanks @cmriverside for tagging me. I almost never venture into the main forums. It is very easy for me to miss a thread. As has been mentioned, I tend to be the most vocal of the carnivore eaters in the Low Carb groups on here. And, I have been doing it way longer than it has been popular. When I first started, I didn't…

I don't really log anymore. But, if I was, my settings would be something like:* Protein ~= 140 grams * Fat ~= 250 grams * Carbs ~= 0 grams (Sometimes just under 5g, always under 10g) * Fiber ~= 0 grams (Nearly always 0g, except trivial amounts from spice) That is approx 20% protein and 80% fat. I frequently go over, by…

Every day is a new opportunity to start.

Not posting week 4, going to post that at the end of the month.

I am trying to compile a list of what I ate last week, but I fear it might be hopelessly inaccurate. Which is crazy because I consider my diet pretty boring. The following is pretty close to my week --- 3-4 pounds of top round, sliced and fried 2 sticks of butter (consumed throughout the week) 4-5 pounds of 75/25 ground…

I hate to say it, only because I get attacked pretty frequently when I do, but women experience a much higher percentage of negative side effects from IF. They also experience fewer benefits from it. Low-carb usually is beneficial for those who suffer migraines. I have had only one in 7ish years, and it was because I went…

I ended up cooking meals different from my family.

There are low-carbers who make low-carb snacks and sweets. That's not really my area, lol, as you'll learn if you hang out here long enough. If it comes to meats, chicken is fine. That's the only meat you like?

What do you normally like to eat?

You're vegan and paleo?

Here are some select quotes. Say that 70 kg firefighter is working hard enough to need 6,000 calories a day. He probably needs 1.8 grams/kg of protein (126 grams and 504 calories). Fat can be 1,200 to 2,100 calories a day. So, approx 4300 - 3400 calories a day from carbs. 1,100 grams is possible if fat is kept on the low…

I have already found an issue with accurate logging of what I eat (especially if you want macros). Today I had 2-3 ounces of beef jerky. But it is my own, not store bought. It was originally round eye beef, and then it was just air dried (no salt, no seasonings, no marinade). That was so long ago, I have no idea what the…

I will try and get a current list this week. I have gotten so lazy that I count and measure absolutely nothing. The only time I pay attention is when I shop, and that is just to make sure I have around two pounds of meat for expected number of days. I haven't bought heart in a while, mostly because I don't see it often and…

Yeah I just really really really like nuts. I knew they were causing me problems. Somewhere I have a spreadsheet from one of my early carnivore attempts that wasn't point, and even there you can see the macadamia nuts and mushrooms. Plus some artificial sweeteners where in there as well oh, because those were real hard for…

Obviously, it is my belief that the higher percentage of your diet that is high-fat and low-carb animal products, the healthier you will be and the better it is for your body. I also believe the higher the percentage, the easier it is to eat to satiety and experience weight normalization effortlessly. And, logically, the…

Yeah, he's more tolerant of plants than I am. And he is more concerned with organs and grass-fed, but whatever. The point is the same. And, someone who is metabolically healthy can probably eat like he suggests.
