Personally, I don't eat much organs. Like maybe once a week I'll have just a small amount. Many folks don't need them if they are eating high quality meat and having good eggs/fish. But I would get your labs to check if you're low on anything. You can get too much vitamin A and copper from things like liver if eaten daily.

Rinse and repeat. I eat 500-1000 calories at supper (all depends on what and where it is being served and the opportunity to be away from food).

I still eat whatever I want but only in that 1 hr window. I take a vitamin and fish oil in the morning. I'll have 1 beer once or twice a week in the middle evening, but otherwise I've cut out beer, booze, and most dairy.

Six weeks = 35 lbs down. That is the trend for me. If I could stick to it I might actually get back down to a lean 220 lbs (my football days in college). I'm hovering about 270 now.

I have found fasting to be great for my digestive tract. After reading about it,  I decided to start with a 3-day fast. Day 1 was hard, but after that, I didn't struggle with hunger. I felt good enough to do it again. I fast for 3 days several times a year now.

I actually should do one now - after my Christmas-break overindulgence.

Also keep in mind the fruits and vegetables during our first 3 millions years of evolution were vastly different than the crossbred or GMO fruits and vegetables of today.

In our modern society we have become accustomed to produce being available year round. Again during our evolutionary period these foods just wouldn't have been available less maybe a few month out of the year during summer months. These foods also are not very calorie dense a small group of evolving humans would have very quickly depleted this resource.

The notion that we need to eat fruit and veggies for vitamins and minerals for a balanced diet is just not correct.

Do what you want the plain and simple truth is Homo Sapiens are carnivores and meat and only meat is the food we were designed to eat and the food that fueled the species into the ultimate apex predator.

You would be correct... Cancer cells reproduce through fermentation; Anybody who has ever brewed a beer, made bread, or fermented grapes into wine knows sugar/carbohydrate/glucose is needed for fermentation to occur.

Just look at the animal kingdom once again. The cancer rate in wild wolves is roughly 2% while domesticated k9's is roughly 48%. Now look at the back of the dog food bag and tell me how many grains are the kibble.

Problem is there is no money to be made in curing or greatly reducing cancer in humans through diet.

Just saying, the evidence is as strong as it could possibly be.
Here's a meta review from the NIH, from a systematic review of 128 studies. Very high confidence intervals across the board:
This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis study showed that high red meat intake was positively associated with risk of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, lung cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and high processed meat intake was positively associated with risk of breast, colorectal, colon, rectal, and lung cancers. Higher risk of colorectal, colon, rectal, lung, and renal cell cancers were also observed with high total red and processed meat consumption.

Your risk for all manner of cancers rises, most significantly with colon and rectal cancers.

I like his episode where he says, even if you are poor and can't afford grass fed, daily hand-massaged cows, you can just buy hotdogs and sausage for the short term. The benefits of even that will be better than eating chips and crackers and ice cream and bread and potatoes.

If there are two things I miss, they are fresh baked loaf bread (like sour dough or French baguette) with butter, and potatoes (fries, mashed, tater tots, baked, etc...)

The problem with those studies is they are surveying folks who eat meat WITH other stuff. There has been very limited data on folks that JUST eat meat and animal products. The other thing you have to consider is if carnivore gets people off harmful medications, that also lowers risk due to the complications all medications have. Basically I would rather have 50 good years than 80 bad years, although I have seen no data that actually proves eating this way decreases lifespan.

That same study shows that "low intake of red meat is an equal risk factor for colorectal cancer"

It also shows that fresh meat is closer to the null and less heterogeneous than processed meat.

Congrats.  I have been on and off carnivore for about 5 years.  

I did a year strict carnivore. Only meat, eggs, and cheese.
I went from 390 down to 280.  

Never had constipation. Your body absorbs fats and proteins very good.

I do supplement with vitamins.  

For snacks I love pork rinds, those cheese and salami rolls, snack sticks (gotta check the carbs, some have them) and hard boiled eggs.

I take breaks during the end of the year.  Deer season and holidays are my break.  
Most times I have a cheat day every month.

Upside? Weight loss is easy.  Inflammation is almost nonexistent.  I have no proof, but my immune system is better.  When I catch something that is going around work, I am better than 90% of my coworkers.  

The downsides?   You do lose some muscle mass.  The body stores a lot of glycogen in the muscles.  It does make a difference in size, don’t know if that is a concern to you.

How to afford it. It’s not that much.  Think about how much a steak dinner costs you. Steak, corn, mashed potatoes, etc.  now just dot that paying for the steak.
You can really save money by buying custom meat.  Buy a half a pig or a cow.  It is crazy how cheap it is.

Have you given up artificial sweeteners? Are you doing straight meat, salt water? I find that to be the hardest part. I miss Coke Zero ect.
View Quote

Artificial sweeteners will trigger an autonomic response, your brain expects a sweet/sugar intake, so it causes an insulin release in preparation, much like expecting a tasty meal will cause your mouth to water.
One point of carno diet is to reduce the amount of insulin flowing through your body all the time.
As your body gets used to the presence of insulin all the time, it starts to require increasing amounts of insulin to regulate blood sugar, and thats one pathway to diabetes.

That steak will make 4 meals for me, where before I would eat the whole thing.

The only downside is that I am always cold now…

But I really have to drop some pounds.

One point of carno diet is to reduce the amount of insulin flowing through your body all the time.
As your body gets used to the presence of insulin all the time, it starts to require increasing amounts of insulin to regulate blood sugar, and thats one pathway to diabetes.

If that were true wouldn't you become hypoglycemic?

Here's a meta review from the NIH, from a systematic review of 128 studies. Very high confidence intervals across the board:

Ancel Keys selectively cherry picked and fabricated much of his data and created the whole 'anti-meat' movement, and has since been debunked.
There are metric truckloads of data denouncing him and his findings.

As an added bonus, the rate of heart attack, stroke, and weight gain correlates closely with his bogus science as well as the replacement of animal fats used in cooking with processed vegetable and seed oils starting in the late 1800s when they figured out how to do it, and booming in the 1970's, '80's and '90's.

Your body will adapt to not eating carbs/sugars.
When you're in ketosis - your body will produce all the blood sugars you need from metabolising fat.
And your body will adapt to much lower levels of required insulin.
High levels of insulin will hamper your body's ability to metabolize your stored body fat when you start running low on blood sugar, and eating 'any extra' carbs will increase your insulin keeping you out of ketosis.

One of the OTHER magic bullets to reducing insulin is to cut out ALL snacking.
Eat meat until you're pleasantly stuffed, and once you're adapted to ketosis - you won't feel the need to snack or break your fast until your next meal 20+ hours later.
After that - boredom while doing your normal T.V. or recreation will be one of the only reasons you'll feel like snacking on a bag of potato chips, or a handful of cookies.

Edited for a bit of clarity.

It has probably been mentioned… proteins are great…beef, fish, chicken, beans, etc….  toss in a tossed salad with ham/turkey/chicken.  Include a veggie, doesn’t have to be more than a cup, but the vitamins are worth it.  Occasional garlic toast, or a minor pasta, as a side dish, and an occasional bread, like garlic toast.

Your body will adjust, especially if you are used to eating a variety of foods.

I’ve lost 25 + lbs, going primarily protein.  (In the last 6 months).  However, I have cream of wheat with soaked apples & raw honey, about once a week, or fish in butter & salt….or some left over cold meat, in the morning.  (Hypoglycemic,,,gotta eat something…)

If’n I loose any more weight, I will have to check with my doctor…. I’m down to the weight I was when DH met me, 40+ years ago…..and complained I looked like a toothpick.

P.S.  I fix one meal a day, usually around 3 p.m.  Breakfast for me is 4 -5 a.m.  Just enough to keep me going until I cook in the afternoon.  After that…water……He munches as he wants during the night…..IDK, IDC…enjoy….
