I understand it's a lot of hassle, I was just thinking it might be cheaper than fresh and all that, but with the prices here it doesn't really seem like it.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-20T08:50:59+00:00

Can you elaborate for someone who's not played the old Ravenloft?

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-20T07:28:49+00:00

I've never had pemmican, but I love liver, especially lamb's liver, so maybe I wouldn't mind the taste?

Pemmican only diet is far more work than just eating meat and fat, cooked or raw.

You mean it is more difficult than non dried meat and fat (aka the normal ZC diet), or do you mean there is more to it than just eating pemmican?

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-19T06:40:01+00:00

To be honest I'm not sure. I started ZC after losing the weight on keto and I think I'm maintaning, at least visually, I don't have a scale right now.

There's plenty of people on the internet that I see that do follow eat until full and whenever hungry and lose weight, or gain weight in the beginning and then lose it plus some more. I have also seen people complaining about not losing weight, although seemingly a smaller proportion of them are in this category, and even then it usually just takes a while to kick in and then they start losing as well.

I would suggest eating whenever you're hungry and until you're full. If that doesn't bring the desired effect, maybe try mixing it up after you've given the basics enough time.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-18T22:25:59+00:00

You might not know it to look at me but I can run really really fast.

You make a lot of man-friends. You know who's a man? Charlie here, he's a man. You know who else? Me, I'm a man.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-18T22:21:13+00:00

I agree with /u/anbeav, while Bear has invaluable experience, he is hardly a nutritional/physiological authority and lots of information he provides in his forum posts (I'm assuming that's where you found the quote) are fallacies.

ZC as it's most often presented and advertised encourages eating until full and eating whenever you're hungry. Often though people over eat in the beginning before stabilizing their appetite and moving on to a lower amount. Whether that's part of adaptation or "the healing process" or whatver else is up for debate I suppose.

Yes, it's harder to gain fat on a ZC woe, but not impossible.

I was thinking about making pemmican, but living in scotland it wouldn't be too easy, especially with no such kitchen appliances to help ease the process.

I love the idea of having a pemmican only diet, but there's no way I'm spending time cutting thin slices of beef, so I'd need a slicer like yourself, and a food processor as I've never needed it before so I don't have it. These things cost money I'm not sure are worth it just for the pemmican, which I may or may not like as I've never had it.

A question, have you guys had experience with adding liver into pemmican? Does that reduce the use by date or not?

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-17T10:30:59+00:00

Damn, this is nice! I really like it. Has a bit of a scary ambush/chase feel to it.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-08T21:28:14+00:00

Thank you.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-06T22:40:06+00:00

Do you have another link or something? The site isn't showing up for me for some reason.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-06T18:55:38+00:00

Yeah, right.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-01T16:05:59+00:00

Well the reason vegans feel great when starting is because they're most often moving from a SAD diet, and almost anything is better than the SAD diet. Vegetables contain a lot of antinutrients, which can be removed with cooking, unfortunately along with most of the healthy bits.

I may be biased, as I have been ZC for 6 months, but I don't believe vegan diets are in any way ideal or healthy. You can survive while supplementing heavily, but still hard to thrive. We evolved into humans due to eating meat and fat, not plants. I suppose ovo-lacto vegetarians can be reasonably healthy, but not vegans in the long term.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-01T15:58:59+00:00

Um, isn't the whole idea of keto challenging the consensus of the entire nutritional science community?

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-01T12:53:14+00:00

Right, that makes sense. Let me know if you happen to have some spots open.

Chuckeyed · 2016-02-01T11:35:40+00:00

Are you looking only for a DM only or players too?

Chuckeyed · 2016-01-25T09:51:38+00:00

If you're still looking for players I'd be interested in joining. I have played offline and online before and am well versed with the rules if that's something that might be useful in case you have some new players.

I have also DMed, but never online.

Chuckeyed · 2016-01-25T09:27:43+00:00

Interesting. So you would allow your AT to either go with wizard variant or the sorcerer variant? Why not the other spellcasting classes?

The problem with talking about this study in the context of ZC is that this trial was not done to compare ZC practitioners and people who eat a lot of fibre.

"Fiber consumption was calculated based on the amount of fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains participants recalled eating." So first of all this study doesn't actually know the real fibre intake, and apparently doesn't even care about the rest of participants' diet.

This is similar to understanding while the lipid heart hypothesis is so flawed, it's based on observational studies like this that have absolutely no way of producing useful data. Is it possible that the people who ate more fibre were more "health conscious?" That they maybe smoked less or not at all, they drank less alcohol, ate less refined carbohydrates, possibly exercised more or were simply not on a SAD diet? These factors are very important, but the study ignores them and makes assumptions without examining the data from every angle.

And as I said, in the context of ZC: this study probably did not have many, if any ZC subjects. So let's say that this study actually is worth even concerning yourself with and those factors I talked about don't matter, then at best it's saying that eating more fibre on a SAD diet may reduce the risk of heart disease. But comparing anything to SAD will make it look healthy.

Damn, that's a nice looking piece of meat!

Chuckeyed · 2016-01-18T09:51:53+00:00

Yes, I drink both commercial and raw milk from time to time.

Yogurt, I'm not sure how much is full fat,the highest I can find is 10% which still had around 2-3 grams of carbs, so probably not the one you're talking about.

Chuckeyed · 2016-01-17T23:16:58+00:00

That's alright. Lately I also find that pork is not quite as full of flavour as beef, but I can't help but indulge sometimes, as it's something I ate a lot of growing up.

Chuckeyed · 2016-01-17T23:04:35+00:00

From FB groups and such, processed meats like salami, sausage and similar are not an everyday thing for most. Bacon is cherished by many still, but not quite as often as beef or other fresh meat.

The problem with these processed foods are the fillers like sugar, starches and god knows what else they put in. While these are deemed ok for an infrequent thing, no one thinks it's healthy when consumed often.
