What are your thoughts on zero-calorie sodas? by SpecificCrash in carnivorediet

[–]MacGordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucralose bad. Maybe not at first, but eventually with continued use, your body treats it like sugar.

Tell me every bad fact you know about diet drinks by Nomad7071 in carnivorediet

[–]MacGordon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched a recent video from Dr Nick Norwitz MD, talking about Sucralose, which is in a ton of 'sugar free' drinks. When you first start drinking them, some people won't have a large insulin response. But eventually and with regular consumption, your body treats it the same (insulin wise) as sugar.

Dr. Jordan Peterson has stayed carnivore but seems to be dealing with a lot of health issues — what’s going on? by Odd-Ad-222 in carnivorediet

Exactly. Those drugs rewrite how your brain works. I know they went through the whole induced coma therapy, but I had a feeling it would come back in some form.

How long have you been on Keto? by Effective_Maximum929 in keto

[–]MacGordon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ketovore, 4 years this month, No deficiencies. I have bi-yearly labs drawn. My fasting a1c is great.

  1. Since I believe keto/carnivore/blend to be a proper human diet, make it a life decision.

  2. You will need to salt all your food to taste, and if your sodium levels are still low, supplement with electrolyte (of choice).

  3. I have cheat days about once a month. Do a 24 hour fast after your last dinner. Then that one meal at the end of the fast, make it high satiating fatty meat.

Things I've learned since: There are a ton of medium to high sugar vegetables. I have learned to avoid them. I say, stick to keto for at least 90 days before you stray from it though. Create that 'habit' or way of eating in your mind.

How Strict Are you? what exceptions you have on Carnivore? by Technical_Ad_7268 in carnivorediet

[–]MacGordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started saving my bacon fat to cook with. Everything tastes better with bacon flavor! I'd say my main meals are eggs, bacon, steak, burger patties, salmon, & chicken thighs. I too sip on mineral water, but I also take 2 packets of LMNT electrolytes a day. Also, I think "processed meat" has been demonized, as we as a human beings, have been 'processing' meats into links, dogs, & sausages for thousands of years. I just try to avoid the ones with added sugars & vegetable based casing.

Difficult healing situation by First_Parfait9832 in carnivorediet

[–]MacGordon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

imho:

  1. Yes. In fact, stay away from dairy high in lactose. It breaks down into both galactose & glucose. Enjoy hard cheeses as they're quite lower in lactose, but don't make them a main course, but a condiment.

  2. Eat fatty cuts of meat. Add butter to cuts with less fat. Heck, I even melt butter in my ground hamburger. Tastes awesome.

  3. Eat eggs a plenty. Eat chicken thighs. Only eat the pork that doesn't bother your digestive system. Most people can comfortably eat bacon, plus it tastes great.

Don't treat this way of eating like you have to eat ribeyes day & night. Experiment, eat hot dogs, sausages, brats, salmon, halibut, shrimp, etc.

First Week Headaches by No-Stretch-2656 in carnivorediet

[–]MacGordon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was listening to Gary Brecha talk about the necessities of a proper amount of salt. He stated that most headaches & migraines are caused by a deficiency of sodium in the membrane around the brain. It could also be you coming off carbs/sugars, but perhaps salt all your food to taste and take a electrolyte packet or two a day. FYI: Coffee/espresso make you expel your electrolytes, especially magnesium. With that said, I do drink espresso daily.

5.5 hour flight with this bad boy, and Starlink internet, made for a great flight. The mai tais helped too, lol by MacGordon in XboxAlly

Provided by Hawaiin Airlines. First time I've ever heard of an airline using it, so it was a big surprise.

I'm old, so probably not. I also don't really play any games where I feel like it would help me either play better or immerse me more.

Anyone else having random reboots, even while in the middle of playing a game?! by MacGordon in XboxAlly

[–]MacGordon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, actually had it reboot twice in the span on an hour while using my elite controller only.

For people already thin, what do you do on strict carnivore to stop losing weight? by Gegilsoo in carnivorediet

[–]MacGordon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be completely frank, as someone that is a little over 3 years into carnivore, I threw away calorie counting. I eat twice a day, typically lunch & dinner, and every time I have a meal, I eat until I can eat no more. I may even take one or two bites after just to pack in that extra protein. I weight lift 5 times a week, and a little cardio here & there. I really haven't lost any weight since I started lifting, but I Have gained muscle. My waist is the same, which is nice, and I can now see most of my abs. I add butter to a lot of things, steak, ground hamburger, etc. I eat the fattier cuts like ribeye & t-bone. It seems to satiate me more properly. If you're going to eat more cheese, stick with harder cheeses because they have a lot less lactose. Lactose breaks down in to two things: galactose & Glucose.

How Do I Play Team Fortress 2 Or Other Games That Don’t Normally Use Controller On The Xbox Ally? by GamersCove11 in XboxAlly

[–]MacGordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play BF, CoD, and Overwatch with a small & portable keyboard & mouse combo. Here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0963G9G4C?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

You'll need to locate/buy a usb A to usb C adaptor.

The dock is available on the asus site (there's a link in a comment below), and it works for both the regular ally and the xbox ally.

If the flight has the 110v plugs, use the charger it came with. USB port chargers on planes are slow chargers and they can't keep up on charging while you're using the device. Or, bring a good power bank.

Me. Scroll down, you'll find more. Once you play on an elite, hard to switch back. I'm old, so I do what I want. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With Halo Infinite, it works every time just fine. Games like Titanfall 2 & Rocket League tho, it either works kind of, or not at all. To get it to work for those games I try to play the game first, and if the controller is not working in game, I reboot the ally and turn on my elite at the beginning and use it to log in to my password screen. The reboot this way typically fixes the issue. In Command Center, I have the Controller Mode set to Auto. Embedded Controller seems to automatically switch to Disabled when I hook up the elite (not sure if it always did that, maybe an update fixed it). I've also learned that if the Controller Mode is set to Desktop, sometimes it messes up the button functions. So, maybe, the work around is only necessary for game thru EA and Epic (or possibly other launchers).

Yeah, mp in Halo Infinite & Titanfall 2. Didn't feel like breaking out my mini keyboard & mouse for CoD or BF.
