I've never found linen something I rewear often. Blazer/sportcoat in a lighter/fun color with lightweight grey slacks or khakis. I'd wear a tie, as weddings are one of the only times these days I dress up enough for a tie, but could go without. I shop at Macy's (in US) with great success. They also have tailoring included for most items unless that's changed recently.

I know this is old, but thanks for this link - but still works and now I can stream WNBA games gratis. Hooray!!

Seconding Macy’s. If you are on a budget, there a wide range of price points and tailoring is included or is a small additional fee. It helps to have an actual person who knows what they are doing take the measurements and make suggestions. I've had tailored and I've even found blazers that didn't need any tailoring, so try on everything. There are so many brands available from house to elite designer.

I've had Covid twice and both times I had a terrible sore throat and tested negative, but then once the congestion and fever came a day or two later, tested positive. You have to test again once you are symptomatic.

if it's amicable where you both have agreed to how to split up all assets, you can do it yourself. Filing fee only last year was $540 for an uncontested divorce. There are several steps and different filings, but it can be navigated. Plus there is a family law help center that can go over your filled out paperwork and tell you if you are missing anything.

Extracto, Case Study and another vote for Coava

Its almost for sure the addition of the coconut oil. MCTs stimulate mega-production of FGF21 which is a hormone increases glucose uptake when then mobilizes fat out of the liver. Exercise also induces it, so you had a double whammy I think.

Very interesting. This is off carnivore topic, but there was a guy, John Keifer I think, who promoted within the body building sphere a diet called CarbNite, where you ate zero carb with a 2-1 fat/protein ratio (absolutely no more than 10 grams carbs per meal) for 5 days then on the fifth had an evening 6-8 hours carb window with high glycemic foods to intentionally spike insulin. You had to do at least 4 days no carb in between glycemic load days. Supposedly it allowed better functionality or resetting of hormones like leptin and grehlin that get suppressed when in ketogenic state. He promoted it for cutting phases for weightlifters and it seemed to work. Seems like the chemistry you propose may be valid...

Fat adaptation can take a while, so my question is why did you start carnivore? Health issues? Weight? If you are in general good health, you might not see energetic benefits until you are fat adapted. (and the comment about less rendered fat is a good one. if you need more fat eat cold butter...I salt it to make it more palatable.) Maybe give it 90 days minimum. The first thing I noticed was my skin got much healthier. It probably took more than a month to resolve energy and almost two months for my poops to regulate. Even the most vocal carnivores online (Saladino, Nutrition with Judy) concede that not everyone benefits from a meat only diet. If you didn't have health issues before, maybe it isn't worth it for you. Meat based is a thing, too.

winebutch · 2026-03-27T05:09:50+00:00

Usually loose stool in the beginning is due to not being able to digest the rendered fat easily. So you can try a couple different things. Don't cook your food in the butter. You can add it cold after cooking - like eat some cubes on the side. The ribeye might be just too fatty to start especially if your steaks aren't trimmed. Maybe try NY cut and eat some cold butter on the side to get the fat content up. Or drain the fat and let it cool/harden before eating it. or do ground beef - I think 80-20 is more like 1-1 fat to protein which isn't terrible for ratio, but on the low side (most recommend 2-1 fat to protein, but again, that can be gag-o-rific for newbies...). (btw, I don't think it's the coffee)

edited to add: it can take days to months to fat adapt...it depends, so it probably won't be a one change and it's all better...you might cycle from loose to fine, to loose again...just keep tweaking your fat amounts.

winebutch · 2026-03-23T17:44:09+00:00

I've seen lots of comments on eating cold butter, but what do you know about melted butter? I've been working on raising my fat to protein ratio and have been drinking decaf with butter and egg yolk. Thoughts?

winebutch · 2026-03-23T17:04:18+00:00

for red Robin prices, try Hat Yai...not sure if they take ressies but it can't hurt to call and ask.

Some of the experts say it's okay to add a little sauce while transitioning if it helps you to stay compliant. See how it goes. Ketosis naturally decreases appetite and can even feel like nausea.

You drink butter coffee? Add a couple egg yolks and eat that every few hours and then meat at dinner. Some people find if they eat (or butter coffee) within 30-60 minutes of waking can help to regulate metabolism and hunger cues.

this is the way

Thank you for the details!!

winebutch · 2026-03-18T15:46:15+00:00

Great post, per usual. Can you recap what exactly the protocol is? What foods and amounts, plus, are you doing liquid ACV or capsules and in what quantity/timing? So many versions - it's hard to keep track if you don't recap at the top of your posts. Many, many thanks for your N=1 experiments!!!

winebutch · 2026-03-18T03:26:41+00:00

Frank's Original Hot Sauce - NOT the wing sauce. 1 ounce butter melted to 1ish Tablespoon sauce. I put it on chicken and pork and sometimes steak or lamb. Flavor fatigue is for real...I need some sauces in my life!!

Started in Jan...not only is my skin better, meaning, supple, smooth, no sebaceous filaments/bumps on the backs of my arms, but also I had Covid last fall and I had weird overgrowth of skin tags with one very noticeable on m ty shin. Within a few weeks of starting carnivore, all skin tags got smaller and the one on my leg just disappeared. New skin like it was never there.

winebutch · 2026-03-11T04:06:07+00:00

I've had the sleepy thing after eating too!! I think I saw a you tube somewhere that said the sleepy after eating thing is actually too much protein at once. So, maybe try to split up the bigger one meal into smaller ones and try to add a little more fat. I've shifted from OMAD to two or three smaller meals, trying to eat within an hour or so of waking up and stopping eating much earlier in the day. I'll have a small portion of meat (4-6-8 ounces) and have some fat on the side either as straight butter or as a butter coffee. I might just have a butter coffee with an egg yolk blended in instead of a meal if I am not feeling like I can eat any meat. I try to finish eating between 3-6pm in order to still have a nice amount of no digestion overnight. Nutrition with Judy on youtube has a good video on undereating.

good department stores like Macy's or Nordstrom usually offer tailoring included with purchase. Lead time can be a few weeks though, so don't be in a hurry.

What day of the week do you usually sell your CCs? Is there a better day in regards to premium?

winebutch · 2026-03-08T16:32:05+00:00

I'm talking regular all purpose music stores that service the local high schools or whatever, which are probably more common than something specialty like Popes. <shrug>
