The Carnivore Credo
[Currently Incomplete ... but please post responses with questions or comments... as they will help me complete it] I, FIT_Goat, am a strict carnivore. This means that I eat little, to no, plants. All of my energy (calories) and nutrients come from animals or animal products. I believe plants can be used for seasoning and…

We need a "Pro Calorie Counting" thread/discussion
With the recent changes to the Launchpad, I have also added a link to the "Anti" Counting Calories thread... as well as a place-holder for the "Pro" Counting Calories thread. I'm hoping someone else will step up and write a thread about why we should still count calories on low-carb. I'm obviously not that person. I fear…

Final - World Carnivore Month (Feb 1st)
That's the end of the month. How did everyone do? I hit most of my exercise goals (except for running, 0 out of 10 times. I didn't run). My weight was all over the place, but the trendline/average weight went down about 0.7 pounds a week. Not horrible, but not super quick. If you knew how much I refuse to count calories…

Week 3 - World Carnivore Month (Jan 22nd)
It's the end of the third week. How did it go? I missed my goal for strength workouts (3/4 days), but still haven't run at all (goal was three short runs). I hate running. Guess that is not going to change. I haven't run a single time this month. I would go, but it seems like a horrible streak to ruin. Scale still a bit…

Week 2 - World Carnivore Month (Jan 15th)
It's the end of the second week. How did it go? I hit my goal for strength workouts (4 days), but haven't run at all (goal was three short runs). I hate running. Guess that is not going to change. Scale has been wonky, which it tends to be when I am working out. I am down 1.2kg since the new year, but it has been…

Week 1 - World Carnivore Month (Jan 8th)
It's the end of the first week. How did it go? I hit my goal for strength workouts (4 days), but didn't run at all (goal was three short runs). I hate running. What about everyone else?

World Carnivore Month Anyone?
For those who don't already know, there is a small but dedicated group of carnivores on here. And, there are others who have done it in the past and had great results. January is World Carnivore Month. It is a great time to really get serious and establish a new baseline. How many people would be interested? We would have…

Reminder: Low Carb is not about starving yourself until you're skinny.
Hi, I am FIT_Goat, the resident low-carb bigot. If this is the first post of mine you've ever read, I apologize in advance. As we come upon another new year, we are sure to be inundated by people new to low-carb who have a new year's resolution to lose weight. It is why you joined MFP! You're going to do it this time.…

Ad Libitum August '18
I hereby renounce calorie restriction, once again. For the month of August, I urge the brave to join me. Restrict only your carbs. Let go of calories and the other macros. I have included the relevant bits of my argument against counting calories below. That way you can understand why I encourage this. We did this in rhe…

Ad Libitum August
I don't post in this group often, although most of you know me from other groups. For those that know me, I'm pretty much an old-school low-carber. On that note, I am pretty anti-calorie counting. I've run several challenges on the other group, and the most popular one was several years back when we did an "ad libitum"…

Ad Libitum August Sign Up
Be sure to sign up for the private group if you are doing Ad Libitum August. You will have to do the check-ins there. I will link to the check-ins at the start in this group. The group is private only to those participating. That way you have a smaller group to talk with and we don't flood this group with posts.…

Doesn't Counting Calories Count?
--- Want to argue that counting is important? Go here and let me have it. --- One of the original goals, when we cleaned up the group, was to define the place of calories and calorie counting in regards to low-carb. Given that this is MFP, you'll find a lot of people stress counting calories. It's the nature of the beast.…

For those with New Year's Resolutions
Don't forget that this week is a great time to get a baseline. * Weigh yourself daily over the next 5 days and average them for a good idea of your starting weight. * Record your food, even if you're estimating. Sure, it will be a little higher in calories/junk due to the holiday season but it will still be better than…

Dr. Shawn Baker (carnivore) on The Joe Rogan Experience
Haven't seen this posted here, yet. Pretty decent interview of Shawn Baker. One of us carnivore folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj_Bc9hdHa0&feature=youtu.be It's very long. But, a pretty decent listen. He does a decent job of explaining what it is all about and how we eat.

We should do another "Meativore May."
It's been a couple years since the last one. Many of those who participated say it was a positive change in their diet, even some who didn't stay meativore. I can post about why later, but let's keep the first post short and sweet. Is there any interest at all? Basic rules are as follows: For the entire month of May.* Eat…

% of Calories or Not, It’s a High-Protein Diet (or it should be)

I Broke McDonald's
:smiley: Let me start by admitting that I am comfortable ordering food for how I eat. I know how to order things and I can even walk most cashiers through the process of ringing it up correctly. Still, I am a bit of a PITA guest. So, tonight my son and I roll into McD's for dinner. I order "3 quarter pound patties a la…

Woefully underprepared
I have no pemmican. And, my unrefrigerated supplies are just enough for a day or two. I had a month worth of meat frozen and in the fridge. But, the majority of that (if not all) is going to have to be thrown out if they don't get power back on here. I have to go check on the other property. At this property, the storm…

That's It! Abandon Civilization! Back to the Trees!

Well, it was probably something like this. :wink: If there is another food "product" that better demonstrates how far we have come from…

Artificial Sweeteners Increase Hunger / Food Intake
This is all over my feed today. I don't know how solid the research is, but my own experience found this true. I end up eating more when I include artificial sweeteners, and eat to satiety. http://www.aol.com/article/2016/07/12/heres-proof-that-diet-soda-can-make-you-hungrier/21430885/

Fiber Menace [Book]
For those who are interested, Fiber Menace by Konstantin Monastyrsky is currently $0.99 for the Kindle edition at Amazon. I don't know how long this will last. I think it's normally $9.99 for the Kindle edition. This is a good read, especially for those who wonder why some of us carnivores are so anti-fiber.

All Animal April Check-In #1
At this point, you've been doing this for 10 days. How are things going? Anything shocking you've noticed? What's the good, the bad, the ugly? I had peanuts before dinner the other night. I've felt a little off since. Minor gut issues and a headache all yesterday. Of course, the headache could have been coincidence. Or it…

Taking a Training Course
One of the lessons is about the high stress and emotional strain that the people engaging in this activity can experience. They offer some advice for dealing with stress: :lol: Yeah, that's not going to happen.
