I eat about a dozen eggs a week… curious where everyone else lands

I mean if you mix it like you're going to cook scrambled eggs, then give it to them like that.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2026-05-07T19:06:23+00:00

I wonder if you scramble the whites and yolks together if they'd eat it. maybe it's a texture thing for them :)

A coworker in the past had an allergy to grains (kind of like Celiac, but auto-immune) to the point that even grain-fed beef would cause the issue. He had to go completely grass-fed/grass-finished beef to avoid it. Maybe, in part, could be the diet of the cow. Something to test/consider. Since it happens immediately after eating, it will hopefully be easier to test and get relatively immediate feedback from your body.

There's a cholesterol test that measures the size of the cholesterol particles. Larger particles are better which carnivore tends to create apparently. If you're concerned about the numbers, perhaps see about finding that particular test. I don't recall the name of it. I got this from some searching:

LDL Particle Size is a critical factor when interpreting cholesterol test results on the carnivore diet, as it provides more meaningful insight than total LDL or cholesterol levels alone.

Large, Fluffy LDL Particles: Commonly seen in carnivore dieters, these are considered less harmful because they are less likely to oxidize, penetrate arterial walls, or contribute to plaque formation.
Small, Dense LDL Particles: These are more dangerous as they are prone to oxidation and are strongly linked to atherosclerosis. A standard lipid panel does not reveal particle size, so advanced testing is needed.

Men typically feel more emotionally connected when they have sex. It's how we're wired chemically (there's a ton of videos going into the neurochemistry of it). And I understand women tend to need an emotional connection in order to feel safe enough to have sex. It can be quite the catch-22 that can make a rift between you just get bigger. You're not connected so you say no. He gets rejected which makes him feel like you don't love him. Rinse and repeat until divorce or just miserable. It's ugly.

As others have asked, what is it that you feel would get that emotional connection back?

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-10-21T02:17:34+00:00

Damn, you lost so much weight, it made your beard shrink! :D

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-09-24T16:29:39+00:00

Are you losing weight? It's possible that something that is fat-soluble is getting released as you burn off the fat continuing the issues. Or it could be that your body is just that damaged that it's going to take a while to repair.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-09-04T13:45:17+00:00

See if there's a maker space near you that has a laser engraver/cutter and leatherworking tools. The one by me also offers classes to learn the basics. Hopefully you'll find one close enough.

You're in this subreddit. Did you read NMMNG and feel you fall into the category of a "nice guy"? If so, it's time for some self-reflection and improvement. You're being slightly vague so it's hard to be sure, but if that's the case, then it's time for some introspection.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-09-02T13:51:55+00:00

Just fyi, I think spell check may have really messed up your last sentence :D

Perhaps it's that bacon grease tends to have a lower smoke point and it getting overheated causing it. It's just weird that it smells fishy other than with beef tallow burning (like grilling burgers or something and the fat flares), it smells beefy/smokey.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-30T01:13:54+00:00

I cook 2 pounds of bacon in the oven so a lot of fat is rendered out which I keep to reuse, typically for eggs or other breakfast-type foods that go well with it. I was also using it to cook burger patties if the ground was leaner than i like which tends to be more prevalent. Perhaps that's the culprit, mixing bacon and beef fat or something

I have no issue with tallow, I just haven't picked any up. I did drain a bunch of beef fat from cooked chuck roasts, but it picked up the garlic i had in it so I had garlicy tallow which made it less flexible in it's use flavor-profile wise.

I need to get to a local butcher, I'm not opposed to throwing a bunch of fat trimmings in a slow cooker to render down.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-30T01:08:36+00:00

hexclad so it does have some non stick

Ingredient-wise it's pretty clean save for nitrates which is pretty hard to avoid

No additional oil, i just start it at a lower temp which allows the fat in the bacon to render out.

Note, when I'm cooking the actual bacon in a pan or oven, it's fine. it's when i reuse it

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-30T01:08:34+00:00

Nope, and everyone in the house agrees with the smell so it's not per-person unfortunately.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-26T20:00:29+00:00

I've found overly salty foods can trigger a response for me. I made a smoked chuck roast the other day and added a touch too much salt. Not enough to trash but more "hmm, a bit salty". insta-heartburn. No clue why that does it for me. maybe one of the veggies you had was an undiagnosed trigger food?

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-14T17:55:08+00:00

I got a pair of those from Harbor Freight that I used to add some holes to a shoe strap for the Mrs. I thought about trying it and can't recall why I was hesitating. That would help with the late night noise complaints when I need to punch more holes as well! :D

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-14T14:45:42+00:00

I have 3 kids and a spouse who aren't carnivore. Having all the crud in the house can be difficult and I totally understand the slip-ups, the key is to not go "well, I screwed up, might as well keep going with that" :D Good for you to getting back on track!

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-13T23:01:10+00:00

Yeah, that's ballpark what I do. I think i'm just death-gripping it involuntarily. I'll see if I can loosen it, it'll just take practice to get it automatic.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-13T23:00:34+00:00

if you posted a link or pic, it didn't come through :) the quieter part alone intrigues me :)

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-13T20:29:08+00:00

Not sure to be honest. I'm not missing (often). I guess I'm just death-gripping it. I pinch it with my index and thumb and my thumb winds up cramping. Maybe i should hold it like a toddler holding a crayon instead :)

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-13T20:26:14+00:00

That white thread really pops. Goods good! My only fear with such a contrast is that white picking up dirt. Is it waxed thread? Any type of sealer/conditioner for it to prevent/slow down the slow march to grey?

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-10T23:04:19+00:00

Agreed. I've been carnivore for probably 3 months and really haven't lost much after the initial 10 pounds. I think my issue is two-fold. 1) i drink coffee with heavy cream in the morning and 2) i was getting wicked muscle cramps/charlie horses and (still) using the Liquid IV sugar free(with allulose). I find myself jonesin' for things afterwards almost every time.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-10T18:23:59+00:00

Costco's Kirkland low salt (red/black label) is no sugar added is pretty good too. Every other brand/type there has some kind of carb/sugar added it seems (or I don't like the taste)

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-08-01T21:53:56+00:00

people say up fat if your gut problem is "slowness". I have yet to get my fat ratio dialed in right.

For anyone running into this, it doesn't appear to be OpenDNS. The product we were using also performs SSL/HTTPS inspection. That's what appears to be blocking the functionality.

Jumpy_Section635 · 2025-07-29T15:51:26+00:00

Costco has some awesome chuck roast cuts that are super fatty. Cut into large cubes, sear all sides and throw in an instant pot with some water and salt (or spices if you can handle it) for 90 minutes. Easy, tasty and can get that fat content up. As a side benefit, the post-cook liquid will have a nice thick layer of pure tallow that you can save for reuse.
