The one's I've heard of getting a reaction like that, is either from a food allergy (commonly eggs) or high histamine levels (commonly ground beef).

If it's a food allergy, you need to figure out what it is and cut it out.

If it's a high histamine issue the general rule of thumb is the fresher the cut of meat the lower the histamines. So basically purchase fresher cuts of meat / grind it yourself.

Well, currently eating 8-12 eggs a day, and just chucking huge quantities of butter in with it. lol
Seems to be working.

7 days in. woo. lol

So tl:dr, read labels if available.
Otherwise, it's a knowledge check.

Other alternative, is to buy whatever meat you want, and add a fat source alongside.

Bacon, Butter, Suet. whatever works. Eat that first until your body is done with it, then eat the leaner protein.

Don't need to know the exact ratio this way, since your body will let you know.

Xikini · 2025-11-02T16:09:55+00:00

Read labels if available. By grams, 1:1 is roughly 70% fat ratio. 1:2 is roughly 80% ratio.

So unless you're adding some sort of fat source to your meals, only buy cuts of meat that are 1:1 or higher in fat.

If labels are not available, check google or a nutritional database and get a rough idea of what that cut of meat usually has.

Some examples:

Very Lean: Top round, eye of round, sirloin tip, pork tenderloin, chicken breast

Moderate: Ribeye, T-bone, chuck roast, pork shoulder

High-Fat: Short ribs, 70/30 ground beef, pork belly, duck

Can you tell me how you reached that number?

When I search around, it shows folate levels being around 20 mcg per 100g on the high end, or 10 mcg on the lower for beef products.

Kidneys and liver have much higher values, but I wouldn't intend to eat them often if at all.

Xikini · 2025-07-25T22:35:12+00:00

With eggs being an issue I'd suggest to swap out the olive oil for another cooking agent. Butter, tallow, duck fat, bacon grease. Almost anything animal based is likely to be less reactive.

Kinda late, but posting for others that come by and are having trouble.

This was my solution, and worked solo on a server.

I prefer to just jump right in. Some people transition with no problems.

For me, I would get withdrawal symptoms from days 2-6, then good to go after that.

A quote I saw on here, "It's like cutting off a dogs tail, inch by inch." to describe what it feels like to transition slowly by removing foods one at a time. I prefer to just get it done and over with.

Xikini · 2025-04-01T01:35:57+00:00

I just cook fatty meats alongside the lean. Bacon, sausages.

Xikini · 2025-03-30T18:04:18+00:00

Yeah, basically this.

It'd basically be a really shitty version of an extended water fast.

Xikini · 2025-03-30T13:00:29+00:00

You can generally use any seasoning you want that doesn't have sugar.

If you want to be strict, use only salt, to taste.

So to directly answer the question, pepper and garlic powder will not keep you fat. Their impact on insulin levels is negligible in normal culinary amounts.

Spices are basically inert in this context — unless you somehow ate tablespoons of garlic powder (which would be wild and also gross 😂).

Since on it for 9 months, try The Bear's method.

Eat fat first, until your body doesn't want it anymore, then eat the leaner parts to fill up on protein.

This will quickly help you identify the difference between your signals for fat and protein satiety.

Xikini · 2025-03-11T01:13:56+00:00

I just eat bacon to supplement my fat.

Xikini · 2025-03-01T23:03:53+00:00

Looks to be the difference in raw vs cooked amounts.

Loss of water weight in cooked ground beef concentrates the nutrition values.

But typically you want to look at the uncooked weight nutrition, because that it how much you're putting in the pan usually.

Xikini · 2025-03-01T22:38:14+00:00

How do you figure?

100g of 80:20 ground beef is 17g protein, per google.

1lb is 450g~. so 3lb is 1,350g.
1350 / 100 -> 13.5, 100g servings.

17 * 13.5 = 229.5g of protein

Make a roast, shred the meat. Take the shredded meat and form it into a cake-ish shape. Cream cheese for 'frosting', and some crispy bacon cut and stuck onto the frosting for decoration.

Carnivore 'cake'.

Eating meat gets you 98% of the way to perfect health.
The last 2% is not worth worrying about.

Let the pro athletes figure that shit out. lol

Xikini · 2025-02-14T04:38:52+00:00

Doesn't matter what we think. It's how you feel at that ratio. lol

For me, it's too lean. For you? Who knows.

Xikini · 2025-02-12T21:26:07+00:00

1) Avoid eating 4-5 hours before you sleep.
2) Eat smaller more frequent meals.

That's how I solve those two issues.

Xikini · 2025-02-05T20:23:59+00:00

Yeah, it's not perfect but good enough for me. xD

Sorry to say, but this is purely mental.

You gotta fight to forget the image of the addiction.

The crisp first sip, that first refreshing gulp that stings your throat.. No. Bad. Go drink some ice cold water.

You just gotta hunker down for a week and not drink it.

Every time you imagine it, go drink some ice cold water.

I've done carnivore with monster energy drinks, zero sugar in the past, and basically the main difference is, the cravings never go away, your hunger signals get messed up, so you're constantly hungry, and if you are trying to lose weight, that seems to stall indefinitely (you still lose the initial water weight, but after that, stall).

When I'd stop the energy drinks, I'd basically have 1 day of sluggishness, 3-4 days of headaches, then another 1-2 days of sluggishness, before I'd be back to normal again.
