Me home. Fab trip. Fast little trips go way too fast but one thing, damn I am home to eat my carnivore and not have to hear from hubby, let’s eat out…omg I got a friggin’ RV with a full darn kitchen and grill for outside and bring tons of meats and yet he is ‘lets eat out’ but I deal…I just deal HAHA
@FrankoBear
WHAT IN HEAVEN’S sake??? DO NOT tell me and please tell me I read this wrong, you ate your eye crust on your tongue to test it out and ‘check it out’ and I am gonna have to just friggin’ slap you silly cause if this is right I am just 
What gets me is on ‘Alone’, that tv show for survivalist one gal ate her snot mucus for some extra salt intake and OMG I TELL ya FB I had to change the darn tv channel to keep from throwing up…yup I can do a ton of farm stuff, from butchering to birthing to medical issues and more and good with blood and guts if we are talking eating eye boogers or true snot boogers I become a flower and wither and die in this chat 
yikes
@Shinita
a little mystery blob, omg you had me cracking up on that description and that is a wonderful picture of your carnivore fare S…very nice!
@Azi
I loved your dogs!!! I am super happy your AC is up and running cause heck in this heat we function truly with AC! LOL Fab pics tho!!
it is ok, don’t worry, you are truly in that ‘how do I find me’ in this whole eating plan.
remember one thing, when we cut down some fat intake to ‘handle some tweaks’ we feel we need we must not ever GO TOO low…we must not ever go higher leaner protein and drop our fat too low cause that balance has to happen.
the meat/fat balance is so important but if we get a tad different to 'help ourselves to try to force a lb. down ’ then we have to BE READY to get more hungry ya know.
So think of it like this…when that hunger comes back with a vengeance, do not hit it up with lean protein-------you hit it up with bigger fat intake!!!
The fat ‘flushes the body’ again with a reserve, it wants it, it will use it, it will say, hey ‘no rabbit starvation here’ and it will reset you back fast and easy actually.
So if you are 'watching how you eat a bit, watching that ‘extra fat intake’ a bit and just kinda controlling your eating, when you feel BIG hunger you hit onto BIG FAT intake…it might take 1 meal or 2 and BOOM you are very satiated again and you then can get thru more days of eating leaner again but when in doubt, when that big hunger hits you eat BIG FATTY MEAT and then dip that meat in some more fat, lol, but we do feel it coming, I know I did, I could ‘feel me wanting’ a bigger fatty meal after eating leaner for a few days. I did ‘feel it coming’ but if I ignored it I got into more trouble actually then if I just ate the darn good fats and just ate as my body wanted, then it was a fast easy fix and not ‘too panicked and dramatic’ of a body change I had to deal with.
There is never a need for controlled fasting ever on this plan.
We IF naturally anyway mostly on this plan and most of us easily settle into this natural IF style…but when newer, and healing more and finding us in all this…we can be wild cards. We IF easily one day, then boom a few weeks later we are starving and eat big all thru the day and then boom we eat lighter and our IF pattern comes back… but ALL OF this is resetting and re-balancing our hormones and more and just ‘feel it out’ ya know.
Think of it this way…the meat provides the nutrients. Provides the B vits, the iron, the zinc and more…the fat provides the SATIATY.
and remember this little bit: However, there are some subtle differences in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) between fatty and lean meats . The main difference is that fatty meats tend to be higher in fat -soluble vitamins . This includes Vitamins A, D, E and K2.
So that fat is a big factor in how your vits and minerals are transported around your body and that fat is a satiaty factor BUT FAT does not contain those vits and minerals we need…the protein meat provides that. Again, our meat/fat ratio is key on carnivore. It is an absolute key factor and we ‘can play’ a tad on a controlled force thru our food choice but in the end our bodies can scream at us…big hunger is screaming I need big fat intake!
so that balance is massively important.
You need fatty meat you eat it…when you feel 'very satisfied and very healthy and very energized and ‘in that satisified zone’ and don’t feel ‘you need’ fat then you cut it back and eat leaner til you ‘feel’ you need a big fat intake again and don’t wait too late…we can go a bit but then BAM we get nailed.
I know this feeling you are describing, never think you can go too long on bigger leaner protein sources, cause we can’t, that fat is a biggie for us but we also can ‘cut some fat’ from our daily meals cause we don’t ‘need a ton’ but darn we need a good bit ya know…and again, each of us are different so just ‘feel your way thru it’ and you will be ok cause you got that ‘smart sense’ to know you now 
A reminder to everyone…if we want to ‘lose a few lbs’ and we cut back our ‘added fats’ like a bit of butter when we cook our steaks or we eat leaner meats ON purpose, remember at some point that FAT is gonna scream bloody murder…eat me!! eat me!!
Key to it all is ‘small cut back on fat intake’ but never ever make it all about leaner I go the better the results, it won’t work that way on carnivore ever…protein and fat work in a combination that is key here…it took me a while to ‘figure it out’ on how my body works for it and against it as you guys will all figure out also.
I let TIME bring me to normally wanting leaner meats cause I am more healed and feel great but BAM, I eat lighter and leaner for most about 2 days and 3rd day my butt requires big fat intake and then I am satisfied again and might have a tendency to go leaner again in food choice, but don’t work against what your body is telling you ever. Follow that 'what do I want to eat today? in earnest.
You are BIG hungry you need good moderate protein with big fat intake.
You are satiated and doing good, feeling great and kinda are leaning toward seafood, or lean meats like chicken or a leaner cut of beef then have at it, but when that BIGger hunger comes back…attack the fat
just some jawing on it all…chatting up what can come about for each of us at different times on plan and how we need to view then and deal with them…chat it out everyone, throw out the thoughts and more on where we are out and how we feel and it is the best way to learn up stuff about us and how we can roll ahead easier.
That’s great but ouch.
That’s brilliant Fangsy.
