Heading into the gym to use my brand spanking' new gym membership. I can tell that some of the fam are skeptical. The word "phase" has been used. But the overall carnivore upgrade might make this time different. We shall see ... Are you pairing fitness with carnivore in the new year?#carnivore #fitness

So here's some of what people shared about butter in the last couple of days after my prior butter post: -Lots of sneaking a bite when cooking with it, -Some eating straight from the stick despite the "weirdo" vibe😂, -In the coffee (with salt) is big for some, -As a snack in place of sweets was frequently mentioned, and -Cold vs. room temp if eating it straight is preferred. I've upped my butter consumption after that convo with you all. Weight is down slightly and satiety is up. It's been a welcome change. Thanks! image

Still kinda wanting a Diet Coke while I'm out running errands. Is it just me? 😂 (Don't worry, it's not gonna happen!!!) #carnivore

I want to know how good the results can be with carnivore. That's one reason I'm going hardcore. #carnivore

Hey everyone! I'm pretty new here and interested in getting engaged in this community. Not engaged in the other sense, as I'm married and have been for 31 years. lol. Anyway, hailing from the Midwest, USA, interested in Bitcoin, Bible, and beef. #introductions

Anybody else feeling noticeable energy and mental clarity gains from going hardcore carnivore? I just realized this is happening. Pretty exciting.

What are your thoughts about eating butter, just by itself? It's kind of a thing, and I'm not sure. Although I do love me some butter. Do you eat butter as a stand alone? How does it figure in to your diet if so? image

Note to Carnivores: Big Condiment is not your friend

Do you think our culture uses food as entertainment? I just want to keep it simple. No more fuss.

Trying to make my carnivore meals "interesting" is a step backwards. I get more food focused and less self controlled. All the sauces and seasoning, all the carnivore copycats of SAD foods. I'm just saying no for now. Chuck roast, tallow and salt. It's delicious and simple. Feels like winning

I’ve tried vegan, vegetarian, keto, old fashioned calorie restriction …  so many “diets.” It’s humbling. Hoping carnivore is actually what I think it is; my last stop in diet world.

Have you tried salting your water? Just salt to taste for some extra electrolytes. It’s very refreshing and now I don’t like water without salt. Also keeps me away from other, lesser beverages. image

Our culture has made food complicated. Carnivore makes food simple.

Just drove by my favorite coffee shop that used to snag me with all manner of fancy drinks. No more. Instead I'm headed home for water, black coffee, and lots of yummy meat. What have you given up for the better things of carnivore?

Are you coming off of massive decision fatigue from a lifetime lived in our uber complicated food culture? Think about this: All you have to figure out with Carnivore is three things: type of meat type of salt type of fat if you're adding some. And then, for fun, you can work on finding your favorites within those categories. Does this seem like winning or what?

Report from the Carnivore trenches. I’ve eaten nothing but chuck roast since Jan 1. Here's why. Prep is low fuss and I have it down. It’s affordable (around $6.39 a pound at Costco). The ultra simplicity keeps food focus at bay. I like it reheated or cold so it works well on the go. I’m not bored because it’s so satisfying with the fat content and the crispy bits from my cooking method (along with some salt and butter or tallow). It feels like winning. What’s your report from the trenches and what food do you put on repeat with carnivore?
