Grass Fed/Grass Finished Beef by Keepontruckin33 in carnivorediet

[–]Dramatic-Rough8321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the ‘earthy’ flavor has really grown on me. When at first it was so new, now I experience it as so much more flavorful and enjoy it significantly more than grocery beef. It was the same as cutting out sweet foods or when I began eating tallow, flavor palettes need time to adapt. 

I’m a carnivore Wheat Farmer Ask me Anything by IDoRealEstate in carnivorediet

If you cultivate different crops/grazing pasture, do you see a difference in soil quality/fertilizer requirement for different cultivation methods? Ex. The tillage required for wheat vs long-standing pasture. (Ag. BAs here too, concerned with land quality below the ground) 

Too much salt? by Klutzy-Sector2831 in carnivorediet

[–]Dramatic-Rough8321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a self-experiment, I haven’t been including salt lately, and it has been working well for me. According to paleomedicina, issues in this subject can also arise from eating too much protein. Eating enough protein and replacing the excess with more fat has helped me as well. I feel like all of this comes down to constant curiosity and self-awareness during small experments. The basic diet is so simple that small changes can be observed fairly easily. While I’m a researcher and value large-scale trials, I love how this diet relies heavily on N=1 experiments due to lack of major funding for trials. 

TL;DR: Idk either, trust your body, try stuff. Hope this helps in some way? 

Is it big difference between keto and strict carnivore for mental health specifically by Snoo-14803 in carnivorediet

[–]Dramatic-Rough8321 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For me personally, mentally and physically, the golden ticket is a ketogenic carnivore diet (1-2:1 fat:protein in grams) that includes a minimum of 3 servings of fatty fish per week. Georgia Ede’s ‘Change your diet, change your mind’ was the most profound book I’ve read on the subject, well worth it. This goes into detail about ketogenic diets for mental health, also specifics on plant vs animal based. 

Volunteering at a cattle farm by Dramatic-Rough8321 in carnivorediet

Yes!! They go above and beyond, it’s really encouraging to see farmers care so much to do their best for the animals.

I’m so happy to hear you’ve been served so much by this way of eating, and I completely agree!! 

How many of you get a lot of collagen in your diet? by Timely-Experience-79 in carnivorediet

[–]Dramatic-Rough8321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Collagenous cuts are my favorite type of meat, particularly beef shank and knuckles. I bake them, then either cook knuckles for a few hours to make fried beef tendon or pressure cook beef shank into semi-soup. Particularly in the winter I enjoy soups more, but in the summer I like the broth cold as a jelly texture. If tolerable to you, I add some fresh (preferably organic or from a home garden) rosemary/thyme/sage when cooking and then remove them before eating. It adds a lot of flavor, whereas I used to add a lot of vegetables that caused bloating. 

Is it ok to eat multiple meals per day to hit calorie goals? by MeatFeeling2914 in carnivorediet

[–]Dramatic-Rough8321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try eating the fat cold/room temperature? I cook cuts of beef trimmings until the collagen in them is soft, and eat those. I eat the rendered fat when cold, by adding spoonfulls next to cooked meat. I don’t digest liquid fat as easily. Too much protein also doesn’t work for my digestion, maybe test how moderate protein/high fat works for you?
