    Do big goals make you depressed?

    HOT! 
    Big goals without small goals that lead to the big goal make me depressed. I used to set extremely big goals because some people on this forum are successful and they do it (so why can't I). I knew why they did it, but the problem (for me) lied in knowing how they tackled big goals. So I'd set...

    I think it's more of a defense response to the fast absorbing carb/sugar. I could see my body blunting my taste buds in an attempt to get me to stop eating the pie in an attempt to limit how high my blood sugar would get. High blood sugar seems like the most dangerous part of me eating the pie...

    My Experience Eating Keto/Carnivore

    NOTABLE! 
    Yesterday I decided to test my limits and try to knock myself out of ketosis for the first time in almost 9 months via sweet potato pie (the only carb/sugar item I have). I thought I'd be able to take in somewhere between 200-300 grams of carbs before I either felt sick or got a headache. I...

    Awesome! Were you experiencing constipation (you had to go but couldn't get it out) or lack of bowel movement frequency? If constipation, keep an eye on it after upping your fiber intake. If it doesn't improve, up your water intake and fat, & lower fiber. If that doesn't improve it, try...

    I must be a pretty lucky individual to have not had any allergic reactions to foods. I seem to be able to eat anything. Do regular potatoes work fine for you?

    Decided to get some sweet potato pie yesterday after a full body workout due to missing Monday's workout. I ate 15g of carbs worth (~45g total weight) in an attempt to stay in ketosis and not shock my system. It was the only carbs I had for the day so I figured it should be fine. I don't know...

    I went and got some blood work done Friday (lipids, A1C, ferritin, vitamin d) and just got the results back, so I'll list them here along with my thoughts: Total Cholesterol: 277 mg/dl Range lab deems 'normal': <200 mg/dL My thoughts: I expected this to be higher. I've been losing weight which...

    It's possible! I can't remember if I've ever had a testosterone test done.

    I have put on muscle and lost fat at the same time. One thing interesting about carnivore when it comes to weightlifting is that I get less sore compared to when I was eating more carbs from veggies in keto. Today is actually a workout day where I'm going to try to destroy my upper body with a...

    . I tracked my macros for years (even before keto) due to weightlifting (I don't track them anymore). When I first started Keto, I kept them under 20g total a day (not net). Now, the food that I eat with the most carbs is liver, but I don't eat anywhere near enough to come close to knocking...

    I don't check my ketones so I can't say with 100% certainty, but no, I don't have those issues. Based on my understanding, Gluconeogenesis is a demand-driven process. If your body doesn't need any glucose, it won't convert protein into glucose. I'm more concerned about too much protein causing...

    Got ya. This may fall into the "every body is different" category but there should be a reason you're not absorbing enough b vitamins from the food. Sadly, I don't know. Getting high-fat grass fed ground beef is difficult (even buying directly from a farm). The farm I purchase from only sells...

    Ribeyes have a good amount of vitamin b too. How do you usually cook it? What veggies do you eat with it? The minced meat has vitamin b but I wouldn't be surprised if most is lost during cooking due to water loss when needing to kill most of the bacteria. Side note: Raw 85% pastured raised...

    I didnt/don't supplement anything besides Vitamin D and I sometimes take some cod liver oil for Omega 3s & magnesium if I'm trying to go to bed early. I guess I can see how one could be low on water soluble vitamins if you're eating mainly white meat and cooking it dry (which is hard to avoid...

    I've seen content from both of them. I've tried raw meat, fat, and organs. It's easier for me to tell the quality of a food when eating it raw. When cooking foods, even bad quality foods still taste pretty good. I eat mainly cooked foods.

    No worries, I love hearing about things I've never heard about. As far as labs, I think I'm going to get something simple done this month. I'm thinking just lipids and fasting insulin since I have easy access to it - just to have the data. I'm having a hard time finding an affordable CAC...

    Thanks for all of the info! I'll look into the tests you mentioned as well as that book. The MPO enzymes sounds interesting. I'm assuming it causes more cholesterol to penetrate the artery wall and trigger inflammation?

    A study that was published stating that low-carb diets would increase cardiovascular risk was recently retracted due to problems with data integrity and conflict of interest by the lead author (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/clc.23047) While it's great that the study is being...

    Sounds good that you listened to your body and went to bed earlier. Try putting a pinch of salt in your mouth and seeing if it taste too salty. If it doesn't, keep putting more in until it does.

    I haven't yet since starting. I'll probably get one this month. I plan on eating some sweet potato pie this month, so I'm going to get the test done before that. That way it's not skewed due to having over 10-20g of carbs for the first time since March. Here's what I'd expect on the...
