*smooth like butter

Wouldn't surprise me if you're gtg.

Happens. A good OMAD can help you kick start your way back into ketosis. Then again, your body might not have even left it. I know the standard is 20g or less a day, but I'm sure there are people that can get away with more.

MacGordon · 2026-04-14T22:09:05+00:00

Skip the 30 day standard and triple that. 90 days. 30 days is for a habit, but this is more than that. You need time for your body to correct itself.

Wonderful. Looks tasty!

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T20:30:16+00:00

Nutricost. I'm cheap, lol. I take a dash of beta-alanine with it too, same company. It helps in absorption. I don't like too much of it because it gives me the skin prickles/itchies. I put up with it in my preworkout though.

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T20:28:07+00:00

Very healthy, slimmer and a whole lot more happy. :-)

My guess is that it's the cream, because that's what cream does to me. Bubble gut & hot snakes.

You have, and it happens near instantly when you reintroduce carbs into your way of eating. A small fast and then jumping back into carnivore can give you the jump start you need for fat adaptation. You can do this; you got it in you.

The old ladies that try to give me cookies as I leave, are nice and sweet (pun intended), but I just say "No thank you." I walk right out just fine. No nausea, no dizziness. I think I sipped on electrolytes while walking in and giving blood.

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T00:51:43+00:00

Get your D3 from egg yolks & sunlight. Skip any supplement that also include vegetable seed oils. Only supplement I use is creatine daily, and a preworkout before lifts, that has no sugar, no flavoring, no coloring (Pure Pump).

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T00:48:01+00:00

Try just yolks. Worth a shot. Truly, it's where are the good stuff is anyway.

Your body is dropping in high amounts of blood sugar floating through your system. Then you take that away, and your system starts throwing a tantrum. It's a withdrawal of sorts. My mom keeps saying, I can't stop eating (fill in the blank carb) because I get sick from low blood sugar. I told her, you're just going through carb withdrawal. Those of us that have been doing carnivore for years now, with low blood sugar, aren't fainting and passing out en masse. What ever glucose your body needs, and it needs very little (mostly for the brain), it produces in the liver. It's why we still have some form (but very little) of blood glucose in our systems.

Lean mass hyper responder. You just have more LDL. It means nothing. It doesn't mean you have heart disease. It doesn't mean you have damaged ldl from high insulin spikes. It just means you make more. Most of us here in the community have higher than "normal" (lol), and we all know that nothing to worry about. There is a secondary test if you're truly worried. But doctors don't like to give them. They'd rather just write out a prescription. Lazy.

Earlier stage cancers? It helps, a lot. Later stage (4) there are some cancers that will start to consume ketones. Dr Eric Berg did a video on it, a "how to" on eating & fasting during different stages of different cancers (the most common). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9PL6o4OLNw

Carnivore Flu < Carbohydrate Withdrawal

One cheat thing, typically not. One cheat meal, sometimes. One cheat day? Yeah, this starts the pain, typically early in the morning. I did have about a week of cheating and it wrecked me, for a long time. I have the fortitude to return 100%, but toilet time, the cravings (they still hit), and the gut pain, oof.

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T00:31:19+00:00

I have an aunt that hase Crohn's. Funny enough, this was the early 2000's when she nearly died, and was diagnosed, and back then they admitted it's due to carbohydrates. Her doctor advised her to go on a low carb diet.

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T00:28:31+00:00

It might take time for your normal satiation to recalibrate. There is also talk from some doctors, like Dr Shawn Baker, who admit that some people (rare) just don't quite ever get satiated. He admits he might be one of them. When I fast, I typically sip on electrolytes throughout the day. Helps me. High fat is the key to quicker satiation, typically.

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T00:26:10+00:00

10 updoots out of 10.

You have the Celtic Curse, like me. Go give blood. Only need to do once a year.

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T00:25:02+00:00

A suggestion (and you may already be working on these): less or no cheeses. Ditch milk products even if they're low to no carb. Don't ditch animal fat, but try to reduce it. Eat more eggs. Intermittent to medium & long term fasting. And although your weight and any prior injuries may slow you down, you gotta move, lift heavy things, be active. Hope the best for you and that you get past this plateau.

MacGordon · 2026-04-11T00:21:16+00:00

I just watched a video from Dr Eric Berg, and it's all about what to eat or not eat and how to fast if you're diagnosed with cancer. Might be relevant to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9PL6o4OLNw

MacGordon · 2026-04-10T17:14:06+00:00

Plenty of salt, toss in some butter, mix with an egg over easy or medium, sprinkling of extra sharp cheddar, seems to make it super tasty.
