Carnivore worked like magic! In October 2019, feeling persistently not healthy and carrying excess weight, I took a leap of faith into the world of ketogenic living. My first victory was swift – the daily torments of IBS disappeared. Within two weeks, my blood pressure normalised, letting me ditch the medication. By the month's end, I was 26.5 pounds lighter (55lbs in 3 months). These rapid changes were compelling, and I committed wholeheartedly to keto, later transitioning towards a more carnivorous diet, rich in meats, eggs, cheese, and a touch of fermented foods. Here's what I gained: - Type 2 diabetes went into remission, my A1C dropping from 7 to 4.6. - Kidney function improved by 20%. - A more stable heart rate, soaring energy, brighter moods, deeper sleep, better mobility, and sharper memory. - A 30% reduction in body weight in just three months, six inches off my waistline. - No more sleep apnea, snoring, nasal congestion, joint pain, dandruff, susceptibility to sunburn, brain fog, or nocturia. But it wasn't all smooth sailing. I navigated through: - Social pressures to eat unhealthily and drink alcohol. - Disbelief and criticism from others. - Temporary dips in sleep quality during fasting periods. - Advocates for conventional treatments confronting my choices. Yet the journey was empowering: - It simplified my life, reducing time spent on meal planning and cooking. - It freed up my schedule, leaving more room for the activities I love. - I relished the mental clarity and physical sensations of ketosis. - There was the unexpected joy of a complete wardrobe overhaul. After about 6 months on keto, after having lost about 55lbs of weight, I started doing calisthenics at home. This progressed into cycling, gym strength training, and occasional sprinting, enhancing my health and especially my feeling of well being. I've also added about 12lbs of muscle over the last 3 years. For those struggling with similar health issues, consider a shift to low-carb, ketogenic, or carnivore diets. But do so under professional guidance, monitoring your health as you go. This isn't just a diet; it's a path to a profound life change. It’s about more than food; it’s about choosing a healthier, fuller life.

Had to use Tor Browser with DuckDuckGo to find scientific studies showing seed oils are not healthy 😂 I'm not sure why this made a difference in search results but it did. ChatGPT, Bard, Grok, and Google search only show Pro Seed Oil studies. Regardless of prompts and discussion. Immediately found what I was looking for when using Tor/Duckduckgo!? What I found in 2 minutes: "While modest amounts of LA support human health, deleterious mechanisms of excessive LA intake include the formation of oxidized linoleic acid metabolites (OXLAMs) and a suboptimal cardiolipin composition. These disruptions to optimal physiology cause impairments in mitochondrial function, compromised metabolic function, and excessive inflammation, all of which contribute to obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and many other chronic conditions that plague our healthcare system." - MDPI and ACS Style Mercola, J.; D’Adamo, C.R.

Omega-6 vegetable oils as a driver of coronary heart disease: the oxidized linoleic acid hypothesis ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Linoleic acid and the regulation of glucose homeostasis: A review of the evidence The consumption of linoleic acid (LA, ω-6 18:2), the most common ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in the Modern Western diet (MWD), has significa… sciencedirect.com

Linoleic Acid: A Narrative Review of the Effects of Increased Intake in the Standard American Diet and Associations with Chronic Disease The intake of linoleic acid (LA) has increased dramatically in the standard American diet. LA is generally promoted as supporting human health, but there exists controversy regarding whether the amount of LA currently consumed in the standard American diet supports human health. The goal of this narrative review is to explore the mechanisms that underlie the hypothesis that excessive LA intake may harm human health. While LA is considered to be an essential fatty acid and support health when consumed in modest amounts, an excessive intake of LA leads to the formation of oxidized linoleic acid metabolites (OXLAMs), impairments in mitochondrial function through suboptimal cardiolipin composition, and likely contributes to many chronic diseases that became an epidemic in the 20th century, and whose prevalence continues to increase. The standard American diet comprises 14 to 25 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids, with the majority of omega-6 intake coming from LA. As LA consumption increases, the potential for OXLAM formation also increases. OXLAMs have been associated with various illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease, among others. Lowering dietary LA intake can help reduce the production and accumulation of OXLAMs implicated in chronic diseases. While there are other problematic components in the standard American diet, the half-life of LA is approximately two years, which means the damage can be far more persistent than other dietary factors, and the impact of reducing excessive LA intake takes time. Therefore, additional research-evaluating approaches to reduce OXLAM formation and cardiolipin derangements following LA consumption are warranted. mdpi.com

Beginner’s Guide to Sustained Ketosis on a Carnivore Diet!! 1. Strict Carbohydrate Limitation: Max Carbs: Keep daily carbs under 20 grams. Practical Meaning: On a carnivore diet, this effectively means eating exclusively animal products. Avoid any plant-based foods, as even small amounts can have carbs. Be cautious with dairy; some dairy products, especially those that are low-fat or flavoured, can have added sugars or carbs. 2. Food Selection: Meats: Choose a variety of meats including beef (especially fatty cuts like ribeye, brisket), pork (like pork belly, bacon), lamb, and organ meats (liver, heart). Organ meats are nutrient-dense and beneficial. Poultry: Opt for fattier cuts like chicken thighs and wings, and duck. Skin-on for extra fat. Fish: Prioritise fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout. Eggs: Include them regularly. They are a good source of protein and nutrients. Dairy (Optional): If included, focus on high-fat, low-carb options like hard cheeses, butter, and heavy cream. 3. Meal Preparation and Eating Habits: Cooking Fats: Use animal fats, butter, or ghee for cooking. Avoid plant-based oils. Eating Frequency: Eat when hungry; there's no need to eat at fixed times or have a certain number of meals per day. I gradually found a one or two meals per day schedule to work best for me - simply not hungry! Portions: Eat until satiated. Initially, it's more important to adapt to the diet than to restrict portions. 4. Indicators of Ketosis (Without Meter): Increased Energy and Mental Clarity: After the initial adaptation phase, many report heightened energy levels and clearer thinking. Appetite Suppression: A noticeable decrease in hunger and a reduced desire to snack between meals. Weight Loss: Initial rapid weight loss, primarily water weight. Breath and Urine Odour: A distinct change in breath odour (often described as fruity or metallic) and a stronger smell to urine. Digestive Changes: Some people experience constipation or diarrhea during the transition. This usually stabilises. 5. Managing Electrolytes and Hydration: Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Electrolytes: Add a small amount of salt to your meals. Consider supplementing with magnesium if you experience muscle cramps. 6. Adjustments Based on Body Response: Fat Intake: If feeling low on energy, increase the intake of fats. This is crucial for sustaining ketosis. Protein Moderation: Excessive protein can hinder ketosis. A general guideline is 1.5-2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, but this varies based on individual metabolism. 7. Transition Phase (Keto Flu): Symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, irritability, and cravings in the first week are common. Mitigation: Stay hydrated, ensure adequate salt intake, and rest well. 8. Long-Term Maintenance: Consistency: Adherence to the diet is key for maintaining ketosis. Listening to Your Body: Adjust your diet based on how you feel. Energy levels, mood, and overall sense of well-being are good indicators. Remember: Transitioning to a carnivore diet and achieving ketosis is a significant change for your body. Be patient, and make adjustments as needed for your individual health and well-being. #CarnivoreDiet #Keto #KetogenicDiet
