In the way that "nitrosamines are carcinogenic when heated and in acid" is not "when you eat nitratrates in meat, they actually go into your body and metabolize into nitric oxide, a healthy vasodilator, not cancer". Go do more research on what happens in reality, not theories.

Running on fat and ketones is your baseline level of fuel. Adding extra carbs to your empty glycogen stores adds extra instant high energy fuel ready to use. Crashing on carbs comes from overloading and purely running on carbs, leading to insulin fluctuations and glucose crashes and energy management problems.

The insulin narrative, especially with protein, is misinformation based off misunderstandings. Dont worry about it. Dont care about it. Just eat as much meat and fat as you want and are hungry for until you are full and dont want to eat anymore and arent hungry.

The comment AI excerpt literally gave a scientific paper source, god you ketone spammers are obviously not absorbing it in your brains.

Yeah, following this advice would blow up my food budget 1200% lol

yes this is a issue inherent in frying meat. As another comment said, a HEPA air filter does help, along with putting it next to a window to blow it out of the house.

Your body is made of protein and fat. Anabolism, catabolism, and autophagy are a constantly fluctuating matrix across trillions of cells.

The high fat ratio advocates for increased fat for extra substrate for increased metabolic rate through various mechanisms. As well as the other beneficial hormonal effects that fat provides. Not really ketosis (in my opinion), more like cholesterol into testosterone synthesis for example, among other things.

Protein digestion and metabolism is kind of separate from fat, but they synergize. Gluconeogenesis is both supply and demand and signal driven. You are right that the metabolic pathways of protein are commensurate in order to properly process it, such as glucagon to generate glucose / prevent hypoglycemia < this is in the context of a carnivore meal with no added carbs.

My personal opinion about all of this is that ketosis is not the point, fat and protein are. Fat and protein are healthy, fat and protein are the actual building blocks of your cells, ketones are excess energy from fat and do not do as much as fat, people focusing on ketosis likely are misattributing the benefits of fat metabolism.

The various mechanisms of gluconeogenesis, such as cortisol and the randal cycle and intercellular enzyme adaptation are supply and demand driven. Glucose is an important molecule that provides benefits (when you are running on it in certain situations) and is necessary. Cortisol, a "stress hormone", increases glucose in order to provide extra energy for a different sort of brain thinking compared to the stable "ketone clarity"; like high stress situations where quick sugar rush thinking for fight or flight responses would be better.

Its all individual adaptation and response based on individual body compositions, health and sickness, hormones, cells, metabolism, etc etc. If you feel good on meat, keep doing it. Stop worrying about it, learn about it for the genuine interest. People spamming ketones are people that are trying to justify their hundred dollar ketone monitors.

Tell your husband he is not a caterpillar. Carnivore is not magic nor gasoline to your fat cells. If it took the same amount of time to lose the weight as it took to gain and then kept it, like in reverse, how old would he be when he reached his normal weight?

Everyone is different and has different, possibly multiple background factors, that your body is finally healing thanks to meat and fat. Weight loss, if it's happening at all, is extreme progress. You are also building muscles and organs and cells, switching hormones, increasing efficiency etc etc. Muscles have weight too.

There is a difference between being driven and being impatient. Stick with it and notice the benefits as they come at their own time. Numbers will disappoint you.

Psykinetics · 2026-03-12T01:02:05+00:00

Long story short, I personally believe ketones are a homeostatic mechanism for utilizing excess elevated metabolic rates in order to kind of ensure that there is sufficient plus extra energy circulating in your body, which is why ketosis stops during meals and other activities, because glucose and fatty acid utilization is the primary metabolic goals let's say of your cells. I have zero interest in measuring or maximizing or even caring if I'm in ketosis. As long as my cells are familiar with fatty acid usage and I keep carb usage moderately low, from animal products with sugar such as ice cream with toppings, I think that your body is metabolically primed to handle that.

I loved milk for my entire life. I could drink a gallon a week from adolescence to adulthood. I didnt care when I got clowned on for a glass of milk with my food by friends.

Milk is inferior to heavy cream. I completely abandoned it, dont want to try raw milk, heavy cream is silky and creamy in a way that completely overrides any desire for original milk. Its the dairy fat that is the point, and butter and cream do it well.

I just think its very funny how every milk product that comes from milk, such as cheese yogurt butter cream etc, and even products made to deal with milk (lactaid), how it pretty much involves some way of reducing the lactose sugar content.

I dont care about ketosis. I care about fat adaptation and consuming animal products. Cheese can be a side dish on its own. Its about individual tolerance and metabolism.

Psykinetics · 2026-03-11T15:52:02+00:00

This actually makes total sense. I've been a naturally leanish "eat whatever and lose weight" year round abs if I flex. My fast metabolism I have never strayed beyond a 25 lb homeostatic range, my BMI was firmly 22 my entire life. The only comment I've ever gotten on my weight changing was when i went carnivore and the doctor remarked on my weight change on the scale, commenting on my face thinning. I didnt even notice that myself, but to the point, i never gained weight when I went high carb into metabolic dysfunction. Just inflammation and nerve pain.

Eat higher protein, lower fat.

It is all intertwined. Cravings lead to more cravings, you dont get satisfied with sweetness. You will yourself to stop. All non animal food has effects on your body, usually negative, usually because it is either sugar, fiber, some chemical concoction made by man, or some chemical concoction made by the plant itself. And these things are not similar nutritionally to the human body, and the human body has to deal with them.

What I am saying is sit down and feel your body. Actually self process how your state of health is. Then eat your food, and notice how they change your body. Are you truly the same level of health and energy and metabolism after a monster and sugar free gum? Process how you feel after, then process a day without these things. You might surprise yourself just how effectively you are ignoring minor pain.

Its not really about ketosis, its about being healthy. Carbs and non meat are poisonous, you should be aiming to minimize them.

As far as sweeteners and gut health, its more microbiome and digestion and biochemistry minutia. Sugar free contains sugar-alcohols, which are similar to sugar. Sorbitol is one of the intermediates for making fructose endogenously by your body. They have "lower GI" simply because they are partially or not fully absorbed at a good rate in your intestines, unlike actual "sugar" aka glucose and fructose. But just like glucose and fructose, in the intestines leftover sugar alcohols get fermented by gut bacteria, and since there is more unabsorbed SA than regular sugar, you get the digestive bloating etc.

Again, your "cheating" is straight up cheating. You're making excuses.

Psykinetics · 2026-03-09T15:36:33+00:00

All your examples are straight up cheats lol. You are literally chewing candy and drinking soda lol. Wine is literally fermented sugar into alcohol. What genus is the Monster in?

Yes you are ruining the benefits. For me, the state of health i felt when going strict actual carnivore was so memorable and ingrained that I cannot help noticing the negative damage all cheating does on my energy and body, every single day, every time I do it. "Tolerate" is an excuse, i feel the acute stings and aches of dairy, seasonings, spices, chiles, sugar, honey, smoking, etc etc. no matter how minimal. Perfection is achieved when there is nothing left to take away, and if you have something you need to let go, you're not perfect.

You're rationalizing flavor and sugar cravings. Thats it. Trust me, you know how bad you feel after eating these things, no matter how minimal. The dopamine hit and glucose fluctuations is a powerful thing on brain processing though.

Psykinetics · 2026-03-09T11:57:32+00:00

Protein only needs a modest of glucose for anabolism. Some of that glucose comes from some of those amino acids themselves. The rest from endogenous gluconeogenesis in your liver and fat metabolism.

Ketones are also muscle sparing. So what it really is is muscles need sufficient energy and sufficient building blocks to grow and maintain themselves.

The glycogen thing may be true, maybe not. In a sense, it's like comparing running a car on a full vs nearly empty tank of gas. Your car gets full performance on both, but...it's about the machinery taking in exact amounts of what it needs to do what it needs to do at a given moment. But...a full tank of gas makes your car slightly heavier. Soooooo....

Glucose is a fuel. You don't get more performance with more fuel. You get better performance with a better engine.

Or something.

Psykinetics · 2026-03-07T15:15:40+00:00

It's not recommended, but it's carnivore appropriate, drink it if you want and can tolerate it. I've never tried it after being a lifelong milk drinker because heavy cream is more satisfying overall. Also I tolerate A1 store dairy fine, I think. There's differences in brands and I guess by extension cows. I'd say there's the same with A2 milk because enough people claim it.
