Just got scoped. Perfect results. Nary a polyp. 2 years of eating 2+ lbs of fatty red meat a day. 10 years of high red meat paleo. A lifestyle of meat consumption. Red meat causes colon cancer hahahahaha #Carnivore @CarnivoreMD @SBakerMD.

1/3. Two interesting discoveries that are largely unknown/ignored by fitness Twitter:. 1. People naturally expend far more calories than calorie calculators would have you believe. 2. Your TEE is mostly fixed and your body compensates for exercise by reducing your BMR.

@dr_andrealove So itās doubled in the last 20 years because of the massive increase in animal fat intake?.

Fat soup:. Melt tallow into hot broth. Beat in 1 egg yolk. The egg emulsifies the fat and distributes it evenly throughout the broth.

@CaryKelly11 This is a misunderstanding of statistics/risk. Very few people have LDL that high in the first place so of course there will be fewer at that level that have had a heart attack.

Glucose: 67.Blood BHB: 4.3.Urinary Ketones: 0. Guess Iām keto adapted. Makes you question those Inuit studies claiming they werenāt in ketosis based on urinary ketones.

Iām now convinced this is a real thing. Iāve been keto adapted for a long time, but I still experience this āglycogen hungerā on days when I perform very intense exercise (eg sprints). No amount of protein or fat satisfies it.
Simple. If you eat zero carbs all day, you have this hard-to-define-but-real low glycogen hunger which could be satisfied by maybe 25 grams of carbs in an apple but instead on no carbs you would have to eat a pound of macadamia nuts for the same satiety (with 400 grams of fat).

Forget calorie calculators. This is total energy expenditure data from free-living, humans (not just athletes) measured using the gold-standard, doubly-labeled water technique. At 68kg lean mass I likely expend (and should consume) around 3200kcal/day.

This extremely interesting work by @gerdosi explains the protective effect of dietary fiber. Spoiler: fiber offers no protection and is actually just a proxy for level and type of carbohydrate refinement

@HermanPontzer measured peopleās TEE using doubly labeled water, a very accurate technique. Individuals varied greatly, but the average TEE for someone my size (68kg/150lbs of LEAN mass) is around 3100kcal/d. Calorie calculators put me at ~2,300kcal/d.

Another study by @HermanPontzer using DLW. He compared a very active population (the Hadza hunter gatherers) to sedentary westerners. He found that they expended roughly THE SAME calories per day for their body size.

An average Hadza male (50kg/110lbs) expends the same as a sedentary westerner that is the same size (avg 2650kcal/d). The body appears to compensate for exercise by reducing BMR.

Any other carnivores get a pleasurable buzz immediately (within 60s) after ingesting pure fat at the beginning of a meal? Especially when fasted and even more so after fasted exercise? Any idea what the mechanism is?. @KetoCarnivore @LogicalLynx @siobhan_huggins @cambridge_pt.

@tednaiman @raphaels7 @bschermd @DietDoctor @KetoCarnivore Just discovered that small meals with highly ketogenic ratios absolutely destroys every other intervention Iāve tried for both satiety and energy levels. Amazing mood and zero osteoarthritic pain are great bonuses and have allowed me to finally start exercising intensely again.

@SBakerMD Depends how much fat you have to lose. Easy to lose 100 if you have 200 to lose. Very hard if you only have 100 to lose.

Just did Dexa. 6.5 years ago at 37, my bone density was 1.5. I had 1.9 lbs of visceral fat. 4 years LCHF + 2 years carnivore, bone density INCREASED to 1.7. Visceral fat dropped by 37%. The tech told me bone density is supposed to peak at 30 and decline afterward. #carnivore.

@SentientBlobBob @ifixhearts All else equal, there is probably slightly less risk to cardiovascular mortality with lower LDL. In practice, insulin sensitivity is a far better thing to focus on.

@Micklerob @aptrickett We feed cattle the byproducts of our grain based diets. We can eat just cattle, they are a nutritionally complete food. We can reduce their environmental impact by restoring corn, wheat and soy fields to great grass plains covered in ruminant animals that graze rotationally.

A food log thread while on an adequate protein, high fat, therapeutic ketogenic diet as described here:.
@brynkabrynka @KetoCarnivore @ERF0207 Iāve recently found good success eating smaller meals of 25 to 30g of protein and 50 to 70g of fat. Iāve only been hungry for 2 to 3 of these meals a day. Eating 2/3 of the food that I was before.

@tednaiman This matches my experience. Only way I can stay lean is to exercise a lot without calorie restriction while eating whole foods (get fat on refined plant foods regardless of exercise). Protein doesnāt seem to matter past 120g or so.

@Yeahaboutthat3 Longest lasting according to accounts of the day was just meat and fat. Could last for years in hide bags sealed with tallow. My understanding is that fruit was added to sell it to Europeans who didnāt like the bland basic version.
