My daughter actually asked me if I would do a month of pork. She said that way I would make more bacon for dinner

I am ZC for life… so I will definetely be following

[slow]

I’m in

Until I saw this post I wasn’t aware of ZC, but have read the Jan Challenge post & several of the links posted, so hopefully I’ll have got my head round it by March 1st

I’m still figuring out how to use the forum so may ne a bit slow in following everything but I’m here …!

[Charmaine-OLD]

I’ll be cheering y’all on! I’m back on my avocado and have developed a chia seed habit… hahahahahaha

[Thomi]

Deciding… hmm. I may try this. The simplicity really intrigues me. And, I love my smoker in the springtime! Looking for a way to move my weightloss along a little more quickly.

Ok to mix with a bit of fasting?

[/quote] Definitely okay to mix with fasting. My ZC experiment started with the intent not to fast to separate ZC from fasting and I naturally fasted with reduction in hunger

Carnivore/Zero Carb January 2017!

Thank you to all for the Zero Carb month, this has been one of my favorite topics to follow. I had less to no inflammation, more energy, lower morning BG, and generally an improved overall feel while eating ZC, and to boot I lost 17 pesky pounds . I missed some plant products primarily in seasoning. I’m happy to add another tool to my options for reducing weight, keto and IF are not quite enough for my body to release my oodles of stored energy; EF, ZC, and fat fasting are needed to gi…

Sounds perfect! I would love that! May on the square it is!

[nvmomketo]

I may participate too… But I’ll probably include some coconut oil and cream, if that is acceptable.

Greetings ZeroCarbers! I’m ready for ZC March, are you? My inflammation has crept back in February, and I’m ready to have easy moving joints and less stiff fingers for a month or more . Why are you trying or continuing ZC?

The links below have been helpful for my preparation.

Eat meat. Not too little. Mostly fat.

Get your geek on and follow or join the 30-day steak challenge that started today. @Brenda and @Donna are leading the challange and collecting data with a steak focused ZC 30-days, so not too late to join!

2/28/2017: Brenda & Donna's 30-Day Steak Challenge

As an experiment to further disprove the notion of calories in/calories out and that a lack of carbohydrate will result in death and untimely weight gain (i.e., conventional BS), the indomitable @Brenda Zorn and myself are going to start a 30-day Steak Challenge at the end of February. The Rules: You must eat only steak only for 30 days. Water and coffee only, preferably. I will send 1 cute brain sticker to successful challenge participants. Simple enough, yes? Comrades, feel free to join …

ZC continuer here!! Too many NSVs to count.

[Becky]

Calling experienced ZC practitioners. I’ve read contradictory opinions on salt and ZC. I will add salt to my fatty meat Some say use salt and others say no salt because it’s not an animal product. I haven’t found links to research yet that say salt shouldn’t be added, but I haven’t dug too deep on the no salt sites yet. Do you use salt? Seasonings?

[Faitmaker]

With all my reading, it is said that a person on keto filters salts out faster than glucose burners and we need to up our salt to keep up with electrolytes. I eat 4-5 grams a day. Anyone who says not to use it because it’s not an animal product, in my opinion, is an idiot and has subverted the point of keto. It’s like reverse-veganism.

I just enjoyed a generous portion of deep-friend asparagus with 18g of Kerrygold butter (oh my god, it has taken asparagus to an even higher height) and generously salted.

Edit: Posted and didn’t realize the thread was Carnivore. Ignore me.

[Smitedogg]

I’m in! (actually still in from January ZC).
Looking forward to another great month!

[Abrane]

I salt and salt well.

Salt is a old and widely used spice for humans. Salt and fat… They store foods and season foods. Keep the flavor

[Genevieve]

From the ZC groups that I follow, they say that eventually you don’t need salt. Gradually they lose the taste for it, which is your body signalling for you to stop eating it. Remember that there are no studies conducting on people eating ZC. We have the research on the Masai and the Inuit, etc., but those are not comprehensive studies on all the things that we now associate with proper health. So there are no hardcore studies on whether or not ZC people need to eat salt. However, we do have access to individuals who have been eating ZC for many years, and they all testify to the fact that over time they no longer need salt. ZC on

[Becky]

Thank you @Genevieve, this makes sense and I will follow my body and salt to taste. Perhaps someday I will be blessed and lose the taste for salt.

[Genevieve]

Some of the ZCers I know say that even bacon is too salty. Hopefully we never reach that point!
