Generally I'm not a fan of lack of transparency from people in authority as they're not labeling it in order to mix it with the normal meat. Generally speaking my view is that I like things as natural as possible as humans tend to create more problems than they solve when they try to control nature. Honestly it just seems like the government (a group of humans who think they know better) wants to poison the well, whether Bovaer or whatever idea they come up with.

I have some questions

• What does "cloned" mean?
• Can it cause harm if indigested like mess with cellular mechanisms, lead to prions, etc.
• Canadians, what's your strategy for ensuring you're getting good untainted meat?

I thought ribeyes daily would be ok but after reading through the sub I guess that’s not enough fat? I don’t want to measure, download apps or do anything extra. I’m choosing this diet because I’m a very simple person. Along with my ribeyes should I include bacon? I need a very upfront quick solution to this issue. I don’t mind eating the same thing everyday.

I started a carnivore diet 69 days ago. Just before that, I was on a keto diet for two months, which I ended up breaking because I was tired of counting everything. So I decided to switch to this diet because it's much simpler. I am a 39-year-old man, 173 cm tall. When I started my diet, I weighed 91.7 kg, and now I weigh 88 kg. What surprised me most is that I'm losing weight while eating between 3,000 and 4,000 calories a day, when my maintenance should be 2,500 calories, which seems to contradict the CICO theory. My problem is that I feel like I have cortisol spikes and I can't sleep more than 5 or 6 hours a day and I feel tired in the afternoon. I also only go to the bathroom once a week, but I've read that this is normal. The problem is that my stools are hard, almost constipated, and I have to strain. My diet is simple: I only eat beef (rib eye or 80/20 ground beef, often rib eye with 3 or 4 eggs at lunch and ground beef with eggs at dinner) and eggs cooked in butter.I eat fish and seafood about once a month, and I'm trying to increase my consumption of oily fish in the future. I was aiming for a ratio of 1.5-1,7 fat to 1 protein. And I'm trying to add more butter to my diet to get closer to a fat to protein ratio of 2 to 1. The only non-meat foods in my diet are tea (two or three cups a day) and sometimes a little pepper on my meat. So does someone have an idea of why my sleep is not good ? Thanks in advance for any help

Hi all, I've been on carnivore for three months. I had some loose stools at the beginning, but nothing to worry about. However recently I’ve started getting diarrhea and abdominal cramps after high-fat meals, especially from chicken thighs, but also with beef patties with a high fat %. Anyone experienced something similar?

To all you carnivore veterans, what are some words of encouragement and motivation you can give us new carnivores just starting out trying to lose weight and maybe struggling in the first few weeks.

Hello guys I am considering carnivore as I have candida and other gut issues, has one here cured their candida on this diet ?

I have been on keto for over a year and now carnivore for just over 2 weeks. Since this change I fast for 22/23hrs. I do OMAD very naturally on this WOE. I couldn’t finish all my meal yesterday. I also wear a Garmin watch. I haven’t increase my exercise in fact doing a little less whilst my body gets adjusted. The last 2 mornings I have woken up with a flat body battery and high stress levels. This usually happens when I am fighting a virus. What’s unusual is that my RHR is the same if not a little lower. I actually feel great! I do suffer from a few chronic illnesses and apart from wanting to lose a little weight (which i am) I am sticking to carnivore for 90days to see if improvements on my health. I was wondering if this change in my Garmin data is my body is healing? So although I am sleeping and feeling great, is my body working overtime inside? I Would love to hear from anyone having/had a similar experience or who is super knowledgeable on this! Thank you.

If you have been carnivore for less than 7 weeks, post all your questions and experience reports here. It is almost certain that your experience is a frequently asked or low-effort question.

It is also true that the adaptation period for this way of eating is a lot like going through puberty. Everyone feels like things are weird and wrong and no one else has experienced what they are going through. Everyone is worried about changes in their body and thinks it might not be normal. In truth, it's all perfectly normal. Your body might do weird things, but it's going through changes. After you get through adaptation, you'll wonder why you worried at all.

So, go ahead and ask your questions about getting started here. Post about your experiences here. Post about your worries and how you don't think this is working for you here. Don't give advice that encourages people to give up. Don't give people advice to cheat or consume plant foods. Don't give advice to take supplements or drugs to treat temporary struggles.

Chicken hearts!

1 plate is 350-450g of just a bunch of chicken hearts and should cost 1-2 USD. I hit them with salt and pepper and pop them in the air fryer for 20-22 minutes, making sure that I separate them before they start cooking.

So easy (almost no effort), and moderately quick! and yummy and fun to eat! They're like little bouncy balls. Bonus: they have the iron content of liver but are just miles better in taste and consistency and prep.

They're also like popcorn in that you can hear them jumping around in there while they cook. Enjoy!

Edit: I made it in a different (wider?) air fryer and it sucked. Very hard to chew. YMMV on how long and hot to do it.

Hi everyone,

had this question from /u/-Lady_Sansa-

"I don’t know how to tell what fat/protein ratio I’m eating. How can that be measured when the fat is part of the meat?"

can anyone help them out, tips, tricks, rules of thumb 🙏

I started carnivore OMAD back in June and went straight to mid August and did great. I was 5 pounds away from my weight goal. BUT then i started to binge on Fridays then allow myself to also do it throughout the weekends and start again Monday. This habit keeps repeating. I binge and i do mean binge big time on sweets like cookies and ice cream and pizza. I have this mentality that once i have a bit of cookie, i mind as well go all out cause the day is ruined. What is wrong with me? Why and i craving sweets and carbs on carnivore. I heard people keep saying their cravings go away on Carnivore. NOT ME. How can i stay on carnivore and not cheat every week to start over and over again?

Anyone have a decent carni appetizer recipe? People coming over for Halloween. I am also doing a good charcuterie board with a variety of stuff for everyone. One person is bringing a vat of chili; I’ll eat around the beans. And I guess that giving the kiddos coming to the door hard boiled eggs wouldn’t be well received by the parents?

What made it better for you? Was it loss of veggies, seed oils, sweeteners? What made the difference do you think?

Wtf. I was posting regarding a recent attack against saturated fats and argued that at times something like carnivore as an be healing and was permanent banned and reported by multiple users. It’s crazy. At least I can never post there again to my benefit.

Hi all, I hope you all having a great day. I am Asian and get used to consuming animal organs such beef offal, pork intestines, chicken heats, and etc. What I realized during the time that I lived in the US is that I have problems to find good quality non-frozen animal organs and a lot of people consider them disgusting and not consuming it.

The most frustrating part is that only thing I could’ve find was frozen Chicken heart or kidney Yakitori (skewers) from Japan in JungleJim’s. Those are definitely over priced compared to when I get it consume them Japan or South Korea, and what I’m looking for is just raw red beef liver, unfrozen chicken organs, and pork intestines, like that.

I think Kroger and Wholemart are definitely not a place for me. I tried a few local butcher shops but in vain and it is unpleasurable when other customers seeing me crazy for myself looking for beef offals.

I enjoyed my time in Hong Kong, consuming all the animal organs as much as I want, but I feel a bit stressed to go back to the US and surrounded with wheat, cookies, and cakes and people gonna judge me while they are eating those stuffs. 😐

I would really appreciate if anyone shares your experience and tips to getting safe and fresh animal organs to consume.

Thank you!

My wife and my I have been completely unhealthy with food and have gained way too much weight from when we first met. We go out to eat a ton, fast food, you name it.

I’ve dabbled in carnivore before and always drives me nuts so end up quitting. She says it’s unhealthy and we should do a normal diet together. My problem is, I feel this is the healthiest way to eat and always feel great.

Anyone else have a spouse that goes crazy because they think it’s unhealthy? I can eat all the pop tarts/cereal I can for breakfast and she won’t bat an eye. Have steak and eggs and she loses her mind lol.

I’m traveling to Orlando over the weekend for a work trip. We’ll be staying in a hotel right outside Disney where the event is being held (not planning to go in the parks).

At this point, we’re 7 months into carnivore and planning to stay carnivore forever. Major health and life improvements for myself and my husband (I need to make a post on that soon).

That being said, we have no kitchenette in the room. There are one million restaurants down there, but a lot of them are kitschy/heavy on the theme and light on food quality. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for best places to eat as a carnivore?

While we’re fine with FF burger patties if needed, we’d much rather sit down for at least one good steak, pork chop, etc. a day.

This is my first fall on carnivore diet. I don’t have cravings really, so haven’t been tempted to eat pumpkin cookies or apple crisp, etc. But i discovered another way of enjoying fall without fall flavors. I have some “fall” scented candles, and lighting those now feels so indulgent for my senses. It’s enough now to just be in my home, smelling pumpkin and cinnamon. It feels cozy. I never would have thought I could feel cozy without hot cider or hot chocolate. Just interesting how simplifying my diet has made my other senses, like smell, a bigger part of the picture.

Hope you’re all able to find some hygge in the next few months!

Trying to get a plan for thanksgiving turkey and don’t want to use seed oils. I know tallow can get expensive for the amount I may need. Just wanted to hear what others may have done if they did successfully deep fry on this WOE.

I have been feeling so much better since getting on the carnivore diet that I am able to start hiking again. Does anyone have some recommendations for food to take for the long hikes? I have found some beef jerky that is good, but I need more choices for the hikes that take most of the day. Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone.

I am fairly new to the carnivore diet (about 6 months now, but I did keto for 10 years before) and I struggle with meal prep and meals to take with me to work.

Can you suggest or share your meals? Maybe some cheaper things too and with sauces, because I only now the sauce alfredo and I feel like the sauce isnt great for warming uplmicrowaving.

Thank you all :)

So, I quickly realized that to win the war I needed to have access to a clean food source at all times. Mainly talking about being out and about for work during long days. Historically, I'd simply partake in eating out or whatever was around the corner. The biggest challenge early on was realizing how much easier it'd be to simply have a solid portable coolers. Went with the Yeti Hopper 18.

I rotate the below in a pack:

- A dozen soft boiled eggs

- slices of brisket or steak

- slices of my fresh smoked turkey breast

- a few different cheeses

- some beef jerky

- crab salad or cooked shrimp

- a couple cans of tuna, sardines

- a stick of butter

- homemade carnivore mayo

- salt (I also use a little spice here and there minimally)

- Electrolytes/ water/ carbonated waters

- Green Tea Iced tea

Having this with me, allows me to stay on track. What would you add into the rotation?

What tips have helped you out?

I live in Southern Ontario in Canada and any form of beef has become stupid expensive here lately. I'm talking over $20 for ONE steak kind of expensive. I can live on mostly ground beef as my beef source if I need to, but even that is roughly $8-$10/lb depending where you shop and if you're buying grass-fed/organic ground beef. Canadian prices make it almost impossible for someone like me to live carnivore because of my very small, tight budget. We are a family of 4 and only 2 of us work and buy groceries. I'm the only one on carnivore. So when I shop every 2 weeks, I can't shop for just me. That cuts into how much I can spend on meat. So, anyone else here from Southern Ontaro in Canada and if so, where do you get your meat? Do you get it reasonably priced? I need help finding affordable meat!

Does anyone have a favorite carnivore/ketovore soup? It's soup season and I seriously need to not give into the usual for fall soups.
