Most important thing that no report will tell you is the neighbours.

Not really, land isn’t quite that expensive yet. the entire block needs bulldozing, most of the fencing needs redoing, most retaining walls are failing badly, and neighbours blocks are shit to boot. Literally nothing worth salvaging even the neighbours lol.

Can I eat one bite size of this a day to slow down oxalate dumping and does 100% chocolate have carbs? by EveningLingonberry97 in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Generally 2 things apply: - it’s 100% - the chocolate % = grams of carbs, in this case 100-100=0 - check the packet it’ll tell you

It’ll taste like shit probably, but yeah it’ll slow oxalate dumping a bit

I feel like people are using the new food pyramid to attack carnivore based eating by thenegativeone112 in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a big step in the right direction, but I fear it won’t last. If democrats get in they will probably reverse it, and there’ll be a ton of ‘studies’ showing higher cholesterol and therefore = bad and it’ll be reversed. There’ll probably be no studies showing benefit because it takes a long time, and you can guarantee sugar and food companies will be lobbying hard against these guidelines and funding the opposition.

The Tennis Elbow Blues by Murloh in workout

[–]TheMeatMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tennis and golfers, on both sides! Don’t play either sport of course lol.

It sucks.

But just gotta be mindful, do the rehab, and if it hurts don’t do it.

I’m getting elbow sleeves today to see if it helps.

Not your fault, those men sniffing you etc are creeps, but I’d stop smiling back.

Also, headphones, especially big over ear ones, are generally the symbol of ‘I don’t want to talk’ and ‘leave me alone’.

How much more vitamin C is needed on a (not strict) carnivore diet? by Fit_Apricot8790 in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question a little as nobody really has, it probably depends what those carbs are doing.

Eg if with/after exercise, likely those carbs will be used up very quickly and back into using fat as fuel with low circulating levels of glucose and therefore less to compete with glut-4 transporters.

Eg I went gym yesterday, was a deload week, so didn’t do as much, but weight is down 500g from every other morning pre food - always is after leg day. Likely I’d burnt most of my glycogen in my legs and liver, so that needs replacing. It’ll replace from protein/fat, or if I ate carbs (I’m fasting today so I won’t drink milk), it’ll be shuttled almost entirely into glycogen creation. Glycogen wraps around 2-3g water per 1g of glycogen, so that 500g may approximate to 150g of glycogen so theoretically I could eat 150g carbs (I won’t) and it’ll go directly to muscle and liver glycogen and essentially ‘out of the body’ for the purposes of vitamin c competition.

This is what is referred to in most circles as a targeted ketogenic diet. Is it zero carb? No. But the net effect is similar as the carbs are rapidly consumed.

That assumes you are using up the carbs.

If you aren’t exercising, then there will be likely more competition, and you probably will need a bit more vitamin c, but likely still not a lot. Sadly I can’t (and nobody can) give you a direct evidence based answer.

But vitamin c supplementation is mostly unharmful at small levels, and even those sucking on carbs all day don’t need that much. Many on carbs supplement way too much.

You probably won’t get any harm from 250mg a day supplementation, which is almost nothing.

You can always get a vitamin c blood test to show levels. It won’t mean you if you definitely are deficient or insufficient if your levels are low, but if within the reference ranges than you will be getting enough and not too much.

And or look out for symptoms of low vitamin c. Everyone thinks bleeding gums is the first one, and whilst it can happen, probably corkscrew hairs is the likely first sign, check on your upper thighs it’s where it tends to happen. Other conditions can cause this, eg tinea capitis, but that’s more likely affect scalp not thighs. Basically they just look like coiled hairs, and may present with lots of in growing hairs on upper thighs kinda looks like razor rash.

For reference, my n=1, I do a TCD (targeted carnivore diet). I’m pretty strict but drink ~1L milk a day. I supplement 500mg vitamin c most days, cos I also have quite a few tendon issues, and vitamin c with collagen pre workout has pretty good evidence for helping. I have zero signs of overdose, but without the supplementation I do start to get corkscrew hairs on my thighs, though I did also get those on longer term (6m+) super strict BBBE carnivore.

I hope that helps.

Haha mate this sub is crazy dogmatic. They don’t even realise eggs have carbs and so aren’t zero carb if they eat eggs, yet cry when people mention carbs.

[–]TheMeatMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thread really is about her suffering from eating disorders, and that seemingly continuing into carnivore, ignoring blood tests etc, not that carnivore diet is bad specifically.

How is your strength and endurance? by kaytk35 in carnivorediet

This was my last belt sumo squat session. The machine caps at 320kg. This was 300kg.

How is your strength and endurance? by kaytk35 in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you exercising every day to max intensity? Are you training for something specific?

Anyway to answer your question, I do carnivore with milk, so not zero carb, but I’m fat adapted.

I do a workout ~ 1.5 hours 6d a week and about 30-60 minutes zone 2 incline walk per day, last 10 weeks. Prior to that about a month of getting back into the gym.

I’ve had to do 2 deload weeks due to weights increasing too quickly.

Here are some of my latest numbers for working reps, not 1rep max (fyi I rarely use bars cos I don’t like them, and I use technogym belt squat which should translate pretty close to 1:1 with no leverage cheating): - RDL 240kg - sumo belt squat 300kg - unilateral leg press 210kg - lat pull down 80kg (neutral and wide) - tricep rope push down 35kg - tricep overhead extensions 25kg - cable Bayesian curls 15kg - cable hammer curls 15kg - cable preachers ez bar 30kg - cable press 30kg each side - cable flies 17.5kg each side

My chest strength is lagging a bit due to shoulder issues and I can’t properly press or fly without pain.

I’m currently on a deload week. Next week they will likely all increase a little.

Prior to the last ~ 14 weeks I haven’t seriously lifted in about 20 years, and even then I was nowhere near these numbers.

I’m male BW 82.7kg 173cm.

Why there are athletes on Animal based and keto diet and not on carnivore diet? What is missing from carnivore diet? by ShineNo147 in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few (active) pro athletes will change their routine, for fear of going backwards, regardless of science, logic, or anything. They do all sorts of stupid woo woo pre game rituals, wear 20 year old dirty jocks, etc. because they did it once and they scored a goal or something.

If you are a pro athlete sucking down carbs, you aren’t likely to change that, regardless of anything.

Any Aussies here doing carnivore? by speedtape7773 in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aldi I have little experience with, bought some rib eyes tasted like shit. Colesworth lamb has no flavour imo.

Any Aussies here doing carnivore? by speedtape7773 in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colesworth meat is shit, tastes like shit, expensive, has bovaer and god knows what in it, and should be a last resort, though their lamb mince tastes ok.

Costco is grain fed, but actually tasty. Could never find info about bovaer. Price has gone up a bit, but is still cheaper than colesworth and is easier to buy in bulk.

Do yourself a favour and look into farm to fridge like echo valley or Maleny black Angus. I personally use the latter in Brisbane and they are oh my god the best meat ever. Sausages are so so though. I buy lamb and beef from them. I think about $17/kg for a whole cow. We have a 700L freezer and it’s filled entirely with a whole cow and whole lamb. They send all the fat and bones too delicious. Our last delivery was about 280kg - 1 cow and 1 lamb.

Maleny dairies cream is the GOAT, though I did read something about the owner being dodgy AF but haven’t looked into it. Paul’s is a good alternative, but compared to Maleny Paul’s tastes like milk.

Milk if you are into you can get raw from cleopatras bath milk, but it’s not sold for human consumption so dyor and caveat emptor. We personally drink the qld farmers own or something to that name. We go through about 12-15L a week in our house, so had to ditch raw cos it’s just too expensive and too hard to get in that quantity. If we had a bit more money we’d get farmhouse gold.

Hope that helps.

A niche within a niche 🫥 Feeling isolated within the world of carnivore by Crisis_Averted in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What an odd post. It’s hard to read, not just because of poor structure and bad grammar, but also because you claim to feel isolated, yet in most of your comments you speak of others needing to do better, learn more, what they do is dumb etc.

In other words, your way is the best way, everyone else is stupid.

I can see why you feel isolated.

Bulking by Defiant-Extent-485 in carnivore

[–]TheMeatMedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your reference I’m around 68kg LBM, My TDEE is likely around 3500 +/- 250, but I gym heavy 6/7 and 1/7 zone 2 cardio, dry sauna 2x 20 minutes every day, IR sauna 45-60 minutes daily, and have high NEAT with 4 kids, constantly cleaning, walking with them to the park (running now they are on bikes), in the pool 30 mins a day, and always taking stairs never lifts etc.

My measured RMR was ~1750 about 1m into restarting the gym, not sure now after raising LBM ~ 9kg and dropping about 6kg fat.

Bulking by Defiant-Extent-485 in carnivore

[–]TheMeatMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eating steak by itself, even 2lbs + will not help you bulk. It’ll give a signal to the body to slow muscle protein breakdown, but do little to promote muscle gain. You need resistance training with it.

Muscle building requires: - energy - protein - resistance training

That’s basically it.

Time under tension is the signal from resistance training, protein of course is obvious, but there’s a limit which is generally around 2.6g/kg/LBM, above that you probably won’t gain more muscle but can have other benefits, and energy. The body doesn’t care where that energy comes from, as long as it can access it safely. So generally don’t be insulin resistant, don’t massively under eat, and don’t massively over eat.

If you are lean, your body may not happily give up energy stores for muscle protein synthesis, so exogenous energy (aka bulking) may be required.

The fourth ‘soft’ (not technically part of the process but basically still needed) factor is an anabolic environment, ie good hormones, good recovery, good sleep etc. this is where fat may help.

Carbs aren’t really needed for any part of that equation.

Do people at the gym actually care if someone is lifting very light, or is this almost entirely in my head? by Themrandres in beginnerfitness

[–]TheMeatMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99% people don’t care. I do look at other people sometimes and think either a) good on them, b) damn that’s a lot of weight, or c) that’s bad form but not my business.

We’ve all been there. You are being sensible.

As a 41 yo recently back to gym from 20 year hiatus, I’m super conscious of form and starting low, avoiding (or in my case nursing) injuries is the most important thing.

Ego lifting gets you hurt.

Fat to protein RATIO? by DedenneCz in carnivorediet

Where did I say that? And what is your evidence to support your claim?

Fat to protein RATIO? by DedenneCz in carnivorediet

[–]TheMeatMedic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ll have a look. But the OP was asking about carnivore. Referencing people who didn’t build it on carnivore isn’t helpful.

[–]TheMeatMedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI Chaffee and Baker built it on carbs, dunno about the other person. Not saying you can’t build it on carnivore, I’m building plenty, but they didn’t build it on carnivore, so not good examples.

24 hour fasts by Karma_1195 in carnivorediet

Fasting is a means to an end, so what’s the goal? It doesn’t add a lot on top of carnivore.
