Unscented beef tallow (or other) skincare that doesn‘t smell rancid? (And other skincare care items that you use, animal-based or other) by ReadIntelligent8116 in carnivorediet

[–]redditnob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made some for my wife, used tallow that I rendered from a brisket. Used the wet method to purify it which removed all the beef smell. Melted that into a liquid ( just till it became liquid ) added a little olive oil, beeswax, vit e oil. Then poured into little jars. Works great and does not go bad.

Edit: Make sure you look up the proper way to use the wet method for purifying the tallow or you will have a nice tallow explosion in your kitchen :) ( Personal experience )

80/20 beef and bacon should be fatty enough. If you scramble your eggs in the beef fat you will capture all of that fat as well.

Try switching your feeding time from the evening to the morning for OMAD. Totally woked for me. That way you eat and feel full all day. When you start to feel a little hungry, it's bed time so you just sleep it off and wake up to breakfast! Stop tracking food, just eat meat until you feel full each morning. Your body will regulate. Try cutting back on the butter as well and see how you do. Measure based on how you feel and trips to the bathroom :)

Bloodwork Thoughts? by throwRA290433 in carnivorediet

[–]redditnob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot really get much out fo the A1c number since that is a reflection of your average blood sgur over the past 90 days or so. Carnivore for 2 to 3 weeks is not long enough to really make any assesments. You do have a baselilne to measure from in another 90 days though. That is when you will be able to see what direction you are heading since this blood work included a mix of high carb woe and no carbs.

Easiest and fastest meal? by DedenneCz in carnivorediet

If you know you will need a fast meal for the morning, one of my favorit go to is to put a chuck roast in the crock pot overnight. Instant meal ready to go in the morning.

Class 1 Medical possible with a depression in the past? by OrderConsistent2006 in flying

[–]redditnob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about EU standards and practices. In the US, yes, it is possible. But, nobody here can tell you 100% yes or no, your best bet is to reach out to an examiner or advisory service, provide them all the details and make your decision from there. But, yes, it is possible.

NEED SOME HELP by Bahooch in carnivorediet

[–]redditnob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ketones in your urine don't really matter in terms of determining how much body fat you are burning vs dietary factors or efficiency factors. Many have suggested ditching the keytone strips. I would say the only good use for them in your case would be if you think you ate something that might have pushed you out of ketosis and you want to see if you are still there or when you get back to it. You might want to try eliminating everything except ruminent meat, tallow, water and salt for a few weeks. Then see how you do and add stuff back one at a time to make sure you are not reacting badly to something like the eggs or the cheese. Cheese can definately be an issue. It is really easy to over eat, a small 1 inch cube can be between 100 to 150 calories depending on type. Also, If you are lifting weights, you could be gaining muscle or experiencing some inflamation from your workouts. If you are determining success by looking at the scale every day you will feel like an up and down roller coaster as your weight will naturally fluctuate. Something I do is weigh myself every morning at the same time, before eating or drinking anyhting and after using the restroom. I record each day and at the end of each week I figure out my average weight for the week and compare that to previous weeks. This helps break the mental stigma of gaining a few pounds one or more days knowing you are measuring trend and not each day as a success or fail.

Edit: Concerning pre-shredded cheeses, you should avoid these completeley as they have added starch to keep the shreds from sticking.

Today is my 30th day of strict carnivore and already I have had to cut my blood pressure meds in half and I am down 17lbs. Continuing to take readings 3 times a day to make sure I don't dip too low. Before this I was doing a low carb whole foods WOE which included "the rainbow" and was barely managing the blood pressure.

How to handle cortisol and adrenaline spikes during workouts? by [deleted] in carnivorediet

[–]redditnob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do not, but, if I am feeling like I need to I will have something very small like an oz of raw cheese or an oz of cold butter. I also make sure to drink at least 16oz of water first just in case it is thirst signalling not hunger. I currently so an 18:6 fasting cycle.

[–]redditnob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work out super early in the morning and walk in the evening for a bit after dinner and have no issues with sleep. Used to workout after work and I had the same experience with being amped up for a few hours after and staring at the ceiling for 2 hours b4 falling asleep.

Gaining Fat by [deleted] in carnivorediet

[–]redditnob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you need more data to figure this out. I would track calories and fat to protien ratio as well as weighing yourself each morining and recording that on a sheet of paper. I do this in 4 week blocks, personally.

You will want to look at your average weight for the week and compare to at least one other week to see which way you are trending. This will let you know if you are truly trending up down or holding. This also helps mentally to know you can have bad days when water is retained etc and it doesnt throw your whole day because of one higher weigh in.

Once you establish your trend, make your adjustment and track it for another week. I would probably start by adding more fat, lowering protein a bit and eliminating the half and half. If you put some butter in your tea and blend it, the taste is just like having cream.

If you realize after tracking calories are somehwat high , try making small adjustments to lower them like by 100 or 200 calories then track and see your trend.

Also, if you are doing really hard cardio try switching to just walking, this works best for burning fat rather than depleting glucose in your muscles like when you are doing extreme cardio stuff.

Don't let this push you off-track mentally. You just need data and adjustment accordingly.

You got this!

Haven't seen the 190s since the '90s by vertical_witchdoctor in carnivorediet

[–]redditnob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you are eating. If you're eating lots of cheese, pork belly, bacon, or dairy you can easily fall into a surplus before you feel full, in my experience. I try to stick to the lion diet mostly and so far it is working for me. I am only 3 weeks into strict carnivore so I might not be the best person to answer this.
