For newbies, a great book about fiber and why it is not only unnecessary but can be detrimental to health is:

Fiber Menace: The Truth About The Leading Role Of Fiber In Diet Failure, Constipation, Hemorrhoids, Etc. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0970679645/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_kKx8DbBGEZV6T)

We do not need fiber. We need protein, fat, amino acids, and certain vitamins and minerals to survive and thrive.

Good point, thanks for the warning.

I've had good experience with this product.

This is my routine for 14 meals/week (Lunch and Dinner), and it's not truly carnivore since I don't eat any read meat :|

• I don't eat breakfast
• I do 4 slices of thick cut bacon and 4 eggs/meal for 4 meals
• 4 chicken burgers/meal for 4 meals (patty and cheese)
• 1/2 lb of salmon and 4 eggs/meal for 3 meals
• 1lb of chicken wings/meal for 3 meals

*****I'll add a TBS of butter with each meal if I feel that meal might not be enough

​

I usually drink diet soda or sparkling water with meals, although I like these more https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JB13AKG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hope this helps and congratulations on the wedding :)

Your body will thank you. Raised vegan, sometimes saw my parents “lapse” into vegetarianism, went to mostly vegetarian as an adult but rebelled by trying inconsequential quantities of meat. I had a myriad of mystery health problems that I couldn’t understand and neither could my doctors; I’m early 30’s. It was a horrible journey, but I feel like a new person on carnivore/zero carb and I’m only three months into it. Also everything is starting to make sense which is glorious.

I’ll be honest with you, changes in weight or muscles are not as visually dramatic for me initially. If your experience is like mine, your body will spend a lot of time nourishing deprived joints, bones and muscles in the beginning, but you’ll feel more energy and stronger. I also experienced extreme oxalate dumping which was tough. I wrote some of my experience here (kind of went on a tangent, tbh!): https://www.reddit.com/r/zerocarb/comments/df5qdp/optimizing_my_way_of_eating_for_further_health/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

If you have more questions, feel free to message me. I’m still learning about meat (I didn’t even know what each cut was or how to cook it) but I hope you enjoy that first steak as much as I did!!!

Oh I suggest some good reading for recovering vegetarians/vegans, message me if you’re interested in a book list but “vegetarian myth” by Lierre Keith is a good primer: https://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Myth-Food-Justice-Sustainability/dp/1604860804/ref=nodl_

17:20.

he's unclear about the book title.. "why statins don't work (or something) and kill you one cell at a time". Doesn't mention the author.

probably this : https://www.amazon.com/Statin-Drugs-Really-Lower-Cholesterol/dp/0615618170

"How Statin Drugs Really Lower Cholesterol: And Kill You One Cell at a Time"

You are right. Agriculture based on grass fed ruminants is by far the most sustainable and environmentally benign. I’d highly recommend Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production by Nicolette Hahn Niman. It covers the subject thoroughly, is well written and enjoyable to read.

Sounds like burning mouth syndrome. Unfortunately it's not a very well understood syndrome and has been attributed to a huge variety of causes from B vitamin deficiency (unlikely on zc) to diabetes to anxiety to a fungal infection in the mouth. A trip to the doctor is probably in order so that they can help you narrow down what might be causing the issue and you can work on taking care of it.

I use this one

My stove hood doesn't vent outside AND my kitchen window doesn't open, this thing clears smoke and smells in under 15 mins. It seems a little pricey at first, but I'd buy it again ten times over

https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/vitamin-d-toxicity/faq-20058108

I would recommend that you stop supplementing with vitamin D. Many supplements go way over the daily value you should be getting, anyway. If your levels of vitamin D get too high, then you can absorb too much calcium and end up with kidney stones. Ouchie!

I've had lots of digestive issues over the years. Switching to the keto diet really helped my diabetes and my digestive issues. I've been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, leaky gut syndrome and some kind of enzyme deficiency. Anyway, changing to the ZC diet didn't improve or worsen my issues at all. There is a substance that I will live on forever since it actually healed my insides. I don't know if ZC approves of it, but it is the only thing that I will ever recommend since there is no need to try anything else. The product is pricey but well worth it. I hope it works for you should you give it a try. It's called Great Lakes Gelatin. With the link that I use to buy it on amazon, you even get a free shaker bottle with it: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Lakes-Collagen-Hydrolysate-16-Ounce/dp/B01EAYI4PY/ref=pd_cart_rp_1_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1S1WHY3KREX25WF11GB4

I really dig these. I get them in 1lb bags from amazon. (Cheaper if you order directly from the company, but whatever)

I got the whole thing by going to Podcast Player and putting in Peak Human. It's the first thing that pops up:

https://player.fm/series/peak-human-unbiased-nutrition-info-for-optimum-health-fitness-living/part-47-the-great-meat-debate-w-mark-sisson-dr-paul-saladino-dr-shawn-baker

Some ideas, more or less zero carb:

• Butter
• Various other animal fats
• Smoked sea-salt flakes (e.g. Moldon)
• Liquid smoke
• Anchovies
• Fried egg with runny yolk, or just a raw yolk

And some non-ordinary spices, that work very well (to personal tolerance):

• Nutmeg
• Cinnamon
• Fennel

I usually make burger patties in my pan: Nice sear on the outside, pink to sometimes raw on the inside.

1. Other tips: I don’t know if you’ve looked into it already but GERD is often caused by low (not high!) stomach acid, have you tried Betaine HCL or any digestive enzymes?

Also I was reading about AGID this morning and when I read your post the thing about early satiety and unable to eat enough sounds like it, you can read about it on the Mayo Clinic site - it’s rare so your GI might have overlooked it

https://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/clinical-updates/neurosciences/autoimmune-gi-dysmotility-a-new-direction

Keep with the meat diet though, I’m six months in and have seen real improvements in my own idiopathic GI disorder.

You ain't kiddin'! It doesn't just help with constipation. Every day I practice Aikido I have a hot drink of:

One scoop bone broth with turmeric

One tablespoon gelatin

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 cups hot water (usually boiling)

(optional) one scoop instant coffee

Works wonders for recovery after a hard workout.

Don't forget that you can also test them if they went bad! :)

There is no permanent way to store excess protein but the nitrogen pool exists as a temporary storage method for amino acids, its essentially a protein buffer.

Last time I posted a link to a product people bitched because ugh, marketing even though I had deleted the /ref= tag from the amazon url.

A simple "What kind did you use, brands can vary in consistency quite a bit?" probably would have been more constructive than "it's useless to people," but whatever.

<em>Isopure Zero Carb Protein Powder, 100% Whey Protein Isolate</em>

<em>Kraft 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese, 8 oz</em>

I figure if we're doing this, I might as well make the links easy to click, ya know? Enjoy these exciting products. You're welcome. Glad to have helped.

Most ziplocks should be fine for the low temperatures you’d sous vide at—that being said, there are reusable silicone bags from Stasher, Anova, and probably a thousand Chinese knockoffs on Amazon.

I might get some criticism for this, but perhaps supplemental vitamin c would help.

I understand that it is not necessary to supplement vitamin c on a carnivorous diet, but, as vitamin c exhibits anti-histamine effects it could have a beneficial impact on your symptoms.

As your glucose load will be considerably low on a carnivore diet, it could have an even greater anti-histamine impact as the vitamin c will be highly bioavailable.

I would recommend a 100% Sodium Ascorbate powder, and not a capsule (unless the capsule was just gelatine and magnesium stearate). Don't go for any "time release" acerola cherry vitamin c - that isn't appropriate for a carnivore diet. Nutribiotic is a good brand (UK Amazon Link).

Hope this helps.

As someone who has suffered most of my life with eating disorders - restricting, binging, overexercising, purging, obsessing...

I have a PSA: Go on amazon and get this book. She uses a “rational recovery” approach to stop her bulimia, and it is a really lucid read. All the comments say how much this book was transformative, as well.

Anyone who reads it let me know what you think: Brain over Binge: Why I Was Bulimic, Why Conventional Therapy Didn't Work, and How I Recovered for Good https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005F9UZ1U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EOPHCbR37ZNKZ

Doesn't need to be in the same meal.

Take a stick of salted grass fed butter and roll it in some sea salt and have that for a snack.

You can also buy animal trimming (be sure it's body cavity fat so there's no gristle) and deep fry it in some other fat and have a nice plate of greaves -- I like to crack an egg on top of it.

I also like to take pork cracklings (pork rinds with the fat still attached) and pour melted butter and salt on them to create a carnivore popcorn.

Also, a lot of cuts of meat can be fatty, but they are trimmed before being sold. If you find a real butcher, they can often give you the meat with all the fat attached.

> I do not always have pork lard or beef tallow

You can order some from Amazon... For example this.

The Whole Foods near me also sells Epic fats. YMMV.

This happened to me in the first week as well (horrible headaches and feeling lethargy and generally horrible), and I ordered electrolytes to put in my water from Amazon. I swear by them. Even now, 3, weeks in, I make sure to put them in my water when I do intense exercise so I don't feel horrible afterwards.

This is the type I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EK0FGV4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I got this bidet from Amazon for $24 and I'm really, really glad I did. It doesn't have any fancy features, but it's pretty easy to install and works great 😀 (I've been using it for about a year now, and so far it hasn't needed any extra cleaning!)

That sucks friend. Keep searching, cause you absolutely need fat on this diet. Its where the energy is coming from. You could get a more mute flavor from butter by rendering it down into ghee. I actually don't get my fat from a local butcher cause the quality is so inconsistent. Here is what I buy off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Beef-Tallow-Finest-Quality-Gallon/dp/B06WWG7P4Z/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia

No, a dehydrater is a specialized item. like this one: https://www.amazon.de/Severin-2940-Obst-D%C3%B6rrautomat-Kunststoff-wei%C3%9F/dp/B000FMM7KE/ref=sr_1_11?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&amp;crid=VF6XPRTIRZWU&amp;keywords=d%C3%B6rrautomat&amp;qid=1671560909&amp;sprefix=d%C3%B6rrautomat%2Caps%2C222&amp;sr=8-11

You simply marinade your meat for 2 days and let your strips dehydrate on this think for serveral hours. Back inthe day jerky was made dehydrating meat with some spices and the sun. The dehydrater is a fan with a heating element which will only heat up to specific temperatures.

This seems to be a decent product for recovering from esophageal burns
https://www.amazon.com/Solaray-GutShield-Digestive-Support-L-Glutamine/dp/B00L0W51B0

afaik it takes a long time to actually permanently damage your esophagus, but its certainly not fun. I've done everything from protective coating products to mild opioids to "manage" heartburn.

I did. All the snacks I got said 0 carbohydrates on the nutritional labels. These are the sausages I got https://www.amazon.com/Tillamook-Country-Original-Friendly-Sausages/dp/B07TYW7CQ8 and the beef jerky was from the same company.

I admire your minimalism, I might try cooking with only a cast iron skillet myself. Originally I bought the sous vide immersion circulator because as a vegan most of my food wasn't as temperature-critical safety-wise and I was worried about messing up cooking meat, so sous vide allows removing the apprehension by precision computer control.

Do you find it easy to learn how to detect doneness when cooking steaks etc in your skillet? Or roasts on the skillet in an oven? Speaking for myself I've cooked bacon and hamburgers no trouble, albeit the hamburgers perhaps too well-done. Roasts seem more finicky though steaks I am more confident about.

Recently I tried this method: https://lifehacker.com/5883796/for-a-perfectly-cooked-steak-sear-it-when-frozen-and-cook-it-in-the-oven https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/18/dining/modernist-cuisine-adapted-to-home-entertaining.html?_r=1 - searing a frozen steak until brown, then finishing in the oven at 200ºF for an hour (both in cast iron), turned out great.

Considering getting another cast iron skillet since mine was used with vegetable oil, but maybe I'll strip it and re-season instead...

they were well-covered in clothing virtually all of the time -- eg, it's the kind of area where it's only above freezing from June to Sep, and even at that, the peak avg high daily temp in July was 12C (54F)

protein can cause high blood sugar in some diabetics, in some cases as much as carbs. back in the day before insulin diabetics were treated with high fat, low protein diets. you can read a book about it here:

typical macros were less than 50g carbs, less than 50 grams protein, and 180 grams fat

Hey, Redditors!

I just wanted to share an interesting nutrition app with you.

It helps analyze any recipe and shows nutritional facts (calories, sugar, carbs...per serving) of it.

Hope it helps you eat healthier!

P.S. Support if you like the idea - It's on Product Hunt today!

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/recipe-iq.

I agree and, although I read the entire book nine years ago when I first did ZC for seven months, at that time I was not tracking my macros and it was frowned upon to do so in the ZC community I was in.

I now believe that that was a big mistake.

Let's say you are a "ribeye and water only" ZC fundamentalist. The USDA database shows fat as 49.7% of total energy consumed (choice, grilled). The NCCDB database, which tends to be more detailed, shows 54.4% of calories for fat.

Stefansson preferred about 80% of energy from fat. PaleoMedicina in Hungary prefers about a 2:1 fat:protein ratio in grams. Using a crude 9 kilocalories/gram for fat and 4 for protein that yields 81.8% of energy from fat.

Let me state explicitly that we all know that there is massive variation among individual people. But, in general, it is possible that eating only fatty meat and water might be a suboptimal ZC protocol that would require adding additional fat.

When I did ZC nine years ago, this was frowned upon. Maybe this was because most participants had weight loss as their primary goal. Perhaps in the weight loss stage a higher protein ratio is fine as we metabolize the body's fat store. But once a healthier weight is approached, dietary fat should be increased relative to dietary protein.

When I started ZC just over two weeks ago at first I did just meat and water. I immediately got watery diarrhea. I knew that this was unsustainable so I added fat to get back to the 80% ratio that I was accustomed to from keto. The diarrhea has lessened but I still have it and I am getting real tired of it. But I definitely felt a noticeable improvement once I increased my fat consumption.

Of course many will get diarrhea from too much fat, so, of course, one has to titrate to find the correct balance.

HPO podcast. Ep 45

All you need to know about salt, how much you need it and the good it does. Also all the BS myths surrounding it and why people are afraid of salt.

thank you! here is the google podcast link for those on mobile

Occasional observer here, not an actual carnivore, perhaps the simplest explanation is the correct one? Over-eating.

&#x200B;

80/20 ground beef has about 1150 calories per pound according to fatsecret

&#x200B;

4lbs of beef would be 4600 calories plus anything you might cook it in, butter or lard or whatever, say 5000 calories at an estimate. Bodybuilders rarely eat that many calories when they're trying to gain weight. Eating 5000 calories a day and gaining weight hardly seem coincidental to me, that's what happens on every diet when you eat double your daily caloric requirements. Everyone has looked for the magic bullet diet where they don't gain weight no matter how much they ate but reality is rarely so kind.

I find they usually fill me up way too much. I'm not very overweight, but I still have some body fat to spare so I don't eat as much.

> My reason for this is because I think I am eating too much protein and not enough fat.

If you want to make sure, log your food into something like cronometer.com to see your intake.

There's a great episode on the HPO podcast with Dr. Jamie Seeman, an OBGYN and she goes in to explaining this very detail. To the best of my memory, cravings are tied to one of the two phases of your cycle (pre/post ovulation) I forget the names of each or which one

The recommendation for POTS (my condition) is 10 g/day (with 3L of water). That’s a lot of salty food.

I take at least 6 of these per day in addition to whatever salt I put on my food. It is super easy and you can also take them any time you’re drinking water.

This is the one I have, it was an absolute life saver in my small apartment

Years ago, I bought a cookbook called &quot;Cutting Up In The Kitchen&quot;, by Merle Ellis, because I was just coming out of my early vegetarian period, and I wanted to understand meat. Ellis discusses the use of a &quot;larding needle&quot; to increase the fattiness of lean cuts. It's an old technique, and very applicable to our zero carb ways. I don't have a larding needle, but it's on my list to acquire one

If you can't find them locally, I found these

This is the stuff I take and it's free of all that garbage you mentioned. It's D3, and as others mentioned, that means it's animal-derived . BTW, most people do not get enough vitamin d from the sun alone. I live in Arizona in the US, where it's sunny all but like 16 days a year, and I still don't get enough according to the doc lol

I also like this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076DJ8VQV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

It's in liquid form and has sunflower oil in it

I went with the super cheap option on my sous vide wand. It’s done great so far and for $80 I definitely have gotten my money’s worth.

I've not tried it yet - as the stores are closed

but i've considered getting something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Grease-Splatter-Screen-Frying-Pan/dp/B01GFQFGFQ

I tried on, once, and it was super cheap (a couple of bucks) but the metal mesh was too.. large or whatever you'd call it. Fat still sprayed all over the stove. i havn't tried a better one, yet

I'm upset that the word holistic got coopted to mean woo-woo non-scientific nonsense. The idea that you should address the person's health as an overall thing rather than treating disparate symptoms should be obvious. Yet, here we are and holistic medicine practitioner is a shorthand for "person with a questionable degree."

While I haven't read this book yet, there are a lot of people in the holistic / naturopath / whatever world who really could serve to hear the message of carnivore over veganism or whatever, and I bet those people wouldn't think to pick up a book with large angry letters and the author as a lion on the cover.

I'm sure it's not perfect, but we have to reach the humans where they are, not where we think they should be.

How can I tell if something will be a good fat for the pemmican?

That site requires you to order at least $75 so I looked on amazon and found this. It says can be used as soap. Is that still fine?

I just got mine tonight, the Yedi brand larger one off Amazon. I know nothing about it other than my mom recommended that model. Got it out of the box, washed the trays, put in six chicken legs for 30 minutes at 360 degrees (that temp is in the book with a time for less chicken than I was cooking so I gave it more time) and had the best fried chicken I’ve had in years. I did nothing to the chicken, no salt or anything, turned it over at 20 minutes, and it was crispy, juicy, heavenly.

Yedi is the one and so easy even I could do it.

It was $250 with a $112 install charge. I did all of it on Amazon. The humidifier I got is an Aprilaire 700m. https://www.amazon.com/Aprilaire-Whole-House-Humidifier-Manual-Control/dp/B00DJVISBK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8

The first time I tried this I went with this: Osram Vitalux 220v 300W bulb

It is rather hard to get in the US. Same reason we have to buy it as a "reptile bulb".

That bulb is very hot, and quite intense.

Looking on Amazon there are a bunch that seem to have the right specs and are quite cheap. Since they get super hot, make sure you have a fixture that can take it, Depending on how you intend to use it you might want multiple bulbs. 1 bulb will not get you full body coverage. This is great for passive vitamin D production, but tricky to use it for an even tan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CXJMRMP/ref=twister_B07CXLWZ87?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I've been buying these from Amazon, and they're great.

1. Ventilation is important. Fresh air is better than stale air. Either in winter OR summer when I cook, I open my window and put my fan on exhaust mode. That means in summer the cool air escapes, and in winter the hot air escapes... that’s ok, that just means I have to deal with that for an hour or so.
2. Buy a good air filter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WJL99W/
   This is the one I have. Make sure it’s turned on when you cook (or after you cook, however you want to do it). It will absolutely suck up the smells.

I used to put lemon or lime in along with it but I just got used to the taste and I don't need anything other than the powder. It significantly improved my sleep and my restless leg and night leg cramps. We just don't get enough of those electrolytes from our food due to all the soil damage from our horrible farming practices.

I also salt my food very liberally and sometimes put salt in drinks during the day.

Why not whole cod livers?

I get the cod liver in own oil, it's great. Have a tin a week. Really good with some egg yolks and salt. Tabasco if you're feeling frisky.

What time are you going to sleep? You say you avoid screens for an hour before bed, but how about other sources of light/blue light? I put on a pair of blu blockers at sunset and have also set my iPhone to naturally turn into the warm/bedtime mode according to sunset and sunrise.

Your room should be cool (<70 degrees) and PITCH BLACK. Cover little lights from a TV or computer and get blackout curtains.

I recently read this book and it blew my mind. You can just skip to the last chapter if you want his prescription. But the whole book is well worth a read.

Do you have a sous vide immersion circulator?

Life changing for cooking meat.

This is the one I have, amazing for $85. (Not a referral link or anything, got no skin in this game)

I have a couple pork tenderloins in it right now.

Good luck! And I believe what gives Himalayan salt it's color is mineral impurities - some of which aren't the best at high volumes. So if this works for you I'd switch to regular iodized table salt.

If you want more information on where I'm coming from, it started with a fantastic book by Angela Stanton: Fighting The Migraine Epidemic

I find cod liver much more palatable than beef liver: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HNC1X9Y It's somewhat reminiscent of Vienna sausages.

Alternately, I enjoy wrapping smaller bits of beef liver in a strip of bacon and frying them in air fryer as a bacon popper.

That's understandable, but would something like this maybe work as a protein supplement?

Again, I don't know whether beef protein minus beef fat would be adequate. I have a homemade container of beef tallow in my fridge, and I've seen it sold in a jar, but I don't imagine chasing a spoonful of beef tallow with a savory, lukewarm protein shake is likely a fun time.

I use the one by Seven Minerals, I like it because it has no additives. I purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q78C1EW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I'm sure any of the 100% mag oil will work well, this is the only brand i've tried thus far. It's working so no need to try others at the moment.

I’m all about the magnesium oil spray. I use Asutra Zechstein from amazon. Magnesium is known to be hard for the body to absorb and when it gets absorbed through the skin, it avoids the digestive system altogether. It’s not expensive. If you go on amazon, there are thousands of reviews and a boatload of Q&A that is very insightful ASUTRA Topical Magnesium Chloride Oil Spray, 8 fl oz| Rapid Absorption | Relieve Muscle Cramps | Fight Joint Pain | Stress, Anxiety, Headache Relief | Pure Zechstein | Promotes Collagen & Energy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CKEBFSE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hIr8EbEFMC6FZ

Are you drinking a lot when you take the magnesium? I’ve had good luck with this one from amazon I take it before bedtime with at least 8 oz of water and generally within 12 hours it works.

I researched skillet last year and bought a Demeyere Atlantis stainless fry pan for $99 at Amazon. This thing really retains heat.

Himalayan salt is overrated. Celtic salt is a decent choice, but this is my default:

I use Keto K1000
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KDRL5ZD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Amazon has the 12 pack for $36.16 roughly $3 each. I can't find them on my local supermarket so maybe I'll give it a try.

I had sinus surgery and have struggled with chronic sinusitis.

Look into sinus rinse salts, such as those sold by Neilmed. Use this bottle not the weird "teapot one."

https://www.amazon.com/Sinus-Rinse-Adult-Bottle-Kit/dp/B004H1RA6U/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=neilmed+bottle&amp;qid=1567204125&amp;s=hpc&amp;sr=1-1

When you're going to use it, make sure it is approximately body temperature first (immerse the fully prepared bottle in a larger glass that has hot water in it). You can use distilled water or just bottled water works fine for me. Really spray it in both nostrils with good force and tilt your head around afterward to drain everything. It's a really cheap natural way to keep your sinuses clear and feeling good. It's literally just salts so you can barely call it "medicine" and it's definitely not a drug. Good luck.

Buy some electrolyte salt pills on amazon and begin your day by pounding a glass of water with one.

Also, you might try Morton's Lite Salt which has a ton of potassium as well as sodium.

My theory is that you were getting sodium but less potassium from the non-pink salt, so you caused an electrolyte imbalance.

This may be more than you're looking for, but I bought my husband this for some gift-giving holiday a while back and he really loves it. He's using it on kitchen knives, pocket knives, scissors....even the lawnmower blades.

Food scientists have mastered exploiting our dopaminergic reward system with processed foods.

Back when cigarettes were being demonized, Phillip Morris (a leading tobacco company) purchased Kraft and other food companies to repartition profits (and save their asses). These companies combined forces to sell people cheap and addictive convenient processed foods. As families got busier, and their incomes weren't keeping up with inflation, and the stay at home mother was an endangered species, both parents had no choice but to work, and whole food home cooked meals turned into processed convenient foods.

All the while Phillip Morris was branching out into other countries, a western diet imperialism, assailing their cultures and damaging their health getting everyone in the world hooked on processed foods. This was a recipe for worldwide health deterioration as well as a huge influx of profits for the once prominent tobacco company who now had their hands in our foods all over the world. Silent weapons for quiet wars.

The consumption of vegetables and other antinutrient foods over the decades more or less just exacerbated the already malnourished populace.

I have Hydrolite that I take on occasion. Last night was the first time since starting this that I had restless legs, which I know comes from a lack of salt and/or electrolytes. (that day I had drank more water and put less salt on my food, so I think I flushed my system by accident) I took a shot of this and I was good to go.

I have used products by Roebic that digest fats, paper or soap with some success. They have products for septic systems. It took 15 years in my house before I discovered I should pay attention to the plumbing.

Grab a copy of Raw Meaty Bones Promote Health. You can get one cheap by looking at the available used copies at amazon--just bought one for friends of mine who are considering getting a dog. The book was authored by a veterinarian who changed his approach to pet care based upon years of clinical observations of common dog/cat health problems. There's much more available, but that book is a good start.

If you don't have 4 hours, just do 350-375 f. The goal is to render all the fat as much as possible, crisp it, and not reach smoke point which occurs around 390-400 generally. cheers. The rachel ray pan is amazing for this, incredibly easy to clean: https://www.amazon.com/Rachael-Ray-Nonstick-Bakeware-Cranberry/dp/B0107LL0GY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1543245698&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=rachel+ray+oven+rack

I bought this model: Air Fryer by Cozyna (3.7QT) with airfryer cookbooks (over 50 recipes) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VAOVHN4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1tf2BbTBVQX47

They have it "used" for cheaper than new but I think that just means it was opened and returned.

I just got the Yedi here today and it was so easy I can’t believe it. Crispy juicy fried chicken legs. 30 minutes at 360 degrees for six legs. Sorry I waited so long to get it.

I wish there was an unflavored version. It's really potent stuff, although NUUN plus some lite salt got me some of the way there.

I just really hate stevia.

Some people make their own liver pills by cutting liver into small pieces, freezing them, then putting the frozen pieces into gel caps. Sounds legit to me, but I am curious about the sugar/carb content of the gel caps themselves. However, I am sure making them yourself more than likely will yield much better nutrients than a commercial bottle of the stuff.

Has anyone tried this Tallow available from amazon?

But do you have an estimate of how much Potassium youre getting in the supplemental dose of Lite Salt ?

Pure Potassium Chloride looks pretty cheap on Amazon ...

Read through some reviews and find the one you like best. I went with a local butcher just because it was cheaper and good quality

I second this while adding buy a set of calipers and teach a spouse or loved one how to do 5 or 9 point test, very easy. Don’t need to do every day, but it measures your actual body fat. More points are more reliable.

I bought and use this one from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9NRDVI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_rYwjBbR9EZK4K

For $80 it’s a great starter kit, and I have been happy with it. Check eBay for the ketone and blood sugar strips as I found some that were cheaper. Ketone strips are generally more expensive than blood sugar strips. I test both.

As long as you have no discomfort you should be fine. I also used this for the first 3 months when I started to help improve my stomach acid. This worked wonders and I had no issues with loose stool or constipation.

I pretty much exclusively grill these days. I bought a cheap little Coleman RoadTrip LXE grill and it gets super duper hot. I make thin, small patties, about 3" across and 1/4" thick, and cook on high for about 3 minutes a side.

If I have to cook inside, yep, just blast on high in a cast iron skillet. I will cook one side until the top is starting to weep and turn grey, then flip and hopefully the first side is well browned and fried looking. The second side doesn't take as long usually, but if either side isn't dark brown I'll just keep going, flipping until they are well shrunken and have a crispy outer.
