    That may not have been enough time for your body to learn how to use ketones effectively. I've heard of it taking close to a year before some people can do high intensity activities and have enough energy. Even after almost 9 months, I still get sleepy if I workout extremely hard (like a full...

    Some thoughts: Carbs/glucose are like a growth hormone/stimulant They provide faster energy and cause things to grow faster than they would without them. - Most cancers use glucose as energy. - Muscles grow faster with glucose. - Fat stores faster with glucose Without them, you shouldn't...

    I weight lift 4-6 days a week. How long were you on a ketogenic diet?

    I haven't done much research on iron specifically since I haven't had a reason to (not many reports of iron related issues or crazy iron levels in blood work I've seen). I haven't had my blood work done so I can't speak on my iron levels. I also cook almost all of my food in cast iron skillets...

    Thanks for sharing! It's awesome that by reducing meal frequency, you've been able to get some benefits without cutting carbs. Keep us updated on when you make the switch to Keto! I wonder if you'll be able to get into ketosis easily (without symptoms) since your body is likely already...

    I completely understand. Although Kerrygold cows are likely not 100% grass fed (I think they get grains during their winter months instead of hay) it's probably the best supermarket butter out there. I hear Organic Valley has a good pastured butter but I haven't tried it.

    Also, depending on the quality of the Ghee, it's a good source of vitamin K2 (works to remove calcium from the blood - good for heart health and bones)

    I'd recommend getting unsalted. In order to add salt to butter they must also add more water. While the water to butter fat content might not be drastically different (I haven't found any specific numbers on the topic besides it having more water and less butter fat), they're usually priced...

    For any of you that would like to include organ meats in your diet but don't want to completely make the leap, here's a tip: Purchase organ meats like liver and heart. Take it to a local butcher and have them grind it up. Then, mix the ground organ meats with normal ground beef and make...

    If you have a whole foods nearby, they have a good lime carbonated mineral water. It's not sweet but since it's carbonated it can almost replicate soda when you're tired of water

    Got ya. Still a little too baller for me at the moment :) - I try to stay under $300-$400 per month in groceries. My local farm charges $18.50/lb for NY strip and $20.50/lb for ribeye. However, if I order 1/4 a cow, I could get all the meat for under $6/lb and free organs & fat trimmings/suet

    I see a lot of carnivore people that eat mainly steak and eggs. That's got to be pretty expensive unless you're buying primal cuts in bulk, right?

    I don't know about enzymes in meat kickstarting the processing of milk, but it's probably a good idea to re-introduce foods (or any foods you've never tried or purchased from an unfamiliar source) in small portions and slowly up the amount you eat over the course of a few weeks. That should...

    Mood has been better for sure but not like I'm a completely different person. I mainly think it's due to being able to sleep better (I can sleep with my mouth closed and breathe out my nose now) and not being so hungry. I can focus more when I don't eat.

    Happy to hear you're getting some benefits! Keep me updated on how it goes. Thankfully, I haven't had any bad reactions to dairy. I haven't tried raw milk but I have had 'raw' cheese. The raw cheese I had was from Whole Foods and I think due to how they process 'raw' foods sold in supermarkets...

    I've seen enough YouTube videos of people talking about getting gout from carnivore that I believe it. I don't know how it happens ( I don't think anyone does), but it's happening to some people.

    Here's an example of a vitamin dense breakfast: Butter cheese eggs & liver. I notice every time I eat liver it starts tasting better and better. At first I thought it was due to me switching up the cooking methods, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I've been eating it the same way for the...

    Not I. I'd imagine that the beginning phase of carnviore (or keto) would cause uric acid levels to rise (making gout happen/worsen) as you inefficiently use ketones for energy (I haven't seen any studies on this but switching diet drastically seems like it could cause inflammation) Carnivore...
