And the food pyramid indoctrination that we should live on grains, carbs and plants but avoid meat. Much about health that I was told growing up has turned out to be false.

Yep! I am a newcomer to the carnivore/Keto lifestyle and I haven’t felt better in a long time! I am also full and don’t have to eat as much. Giving up carbs has not been as hard as I thought it would.

For those new to this idea, here is a long, but good introduction…enjoy!

Been Keto for 5 years. Lost 60 lbs and healed myself from insulin resistance and pre-diabetes. First time in my life I am at a normal BMI.

I will never go back. I changed the way I eat. I cook everyday, every meal. I'm retired and would probably struggle if I had to work a full-time job too.

Lots of great recipes out there.... Carolyn Ketchum and Maria Emmerich both have Facebook groups and promote HEALTHY ways to do Keto/carnivore.

And now they want to limit our meat consumption! My dog is raw fed exclusively meat and organs. I guess I’m going to have to find a local farmer.

I first reduced sugar and carbs and it helped a lot! Now I am a week into a carnivore diet which I plan to test for 2 weeks. So far it’s interesting because I only eat once or twice a day and I’m not hungry. It’s feels weird but good! Have also lost 5 lbs. I had already reduced sugars and carbs so I don’t think it’s just the initial water weight.

I have lost almost 20 pounds over the last seven to eight weeks. I am still not full carnivore/keto, as I still do some carbs every day, though I have cut carbs dramatically!!!

Here too, I eat mostly-carnivore and generally eat only dinner, or sometimes lunch+dinner - though I indulge in a few (sugarless) milk coffees throughout the day - and generally don't feel hungry at all, and feel overall much better.

I tried the keto diet and it did not work for me. But intermittent fasting with reduced carbs and sugar is my choice.

Close family member doing strict Leto for jab injuries (intractable migraines) and it’s working fabulously. Still has to be careful not to add much fruit or high carb veges.

It was done to sell subsidized crops.

Not only corrupt Pharma, we have corrupt Farms! 😂

I’ve seen several documentaries about the way it played out. At first I didn’t believe it much but over the past 3 years researching ways to stay healthy, there is a lot of evidence.

Farms and farmers are heavily regulated by the government.
