Twelve Days of Carnivore!


(Edith) #281

Metatoprolol (or however it is spelled) is a beta blocker. It was terrible. I was a jogger and the medicine would stop my heart rate from increasing so I couldn’t run. Then after a few day, my muscles started aching terribly. I tested by stopping the med and sure enough, the muscle aches went away and then came back when I restarted it.

@Carnivoor, those restrictions sound terrible! When all of this social distancing began, I wondered/worried how many more deaths would occur just because of the social distancing unrelated to actually catching the virus.

I also worry about the vaccine because it is a new type that hasn’t been approved before. If it was the usual dead or almost dead virus or parts of virus I would have no problem taking it.

I’m not on Carni or keto right now… I j just wanna say, see you all one day and Shinita is a beautiful person. And I’m sorry but I won’t be here for a very long time.:pensive::heart:


#283

I have to admit some trepidation about the vaccine as well. This seems…too fast.

I live in Washington state US. The price of ribeye just jumped…


#284

OMG that woulda been the crap he was trying to get me to take…wow I am so happy I never even tried that crap LOL So happy you went off that stuff…and pvcs while horrible, will not ‘harm you’ thru all the research I did but omg they are just nasty and I get you needing relief and if your mag is my stopping caffeine and fake sweeteners, then yea we must do what we must!! what a horrible experinece on that stuff you had!

and yea any ‘new just off the line’ RUSHED vaccine scares me for sure


#285

yea when you got ANY meat sales or seafood sales grab them now cause this is when a smaller extra chest freezer etc. is a great purchase to save on any meats ya can!! I love my freezer, means any and all sales I grab like a maniac LOL I would rather not buy anything, truly, well, I am a minimalist type personality so stuff means nothing to me and put my money into meat/seafood :wink: :partying_face:


#286

I am far down on the list for who is going to get the vaccine. No health worker is going to come to my door with a syringe. We don’t have enough even for the nursing home residents and health care providers. So it won’t be till Summer until it will even be an option. :sweat_smile: I can’t say I am not relieved.

I have an extra Walmart delivery coming tomorrow. Extra patties for the freezer! I think I am going to take your advice and give my myself the gift of red meat this holiday!


#287

Very smart, not a darn thing wrong with taking care of you and your health and if your meat is it, then heck yea go at it :sunny:

a list? I never even thought of that…a list of who gets that vaccine and doesn’t and omg probably those very elderly would be first? no clue on any of that but yikes on all of it…weird times to come for sure. A vaccine we know sure is not a cure for those ailing and I just see alot of crazy coming at us all.


#288

I know you probably won’t get the Oxford vaccine, but the story of how it was created was interesting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55041371

@KellynP, calling to ya :sunny: Hope all is well, haven’t posted in a bit and checking on ya! Hope all is great!!

Very similar to mine but I can’t buy more than 30% cream and I don’t use honey. Hey, I don’t even have honey in the house… Except in December when gingerbread must be made. Alvaro is fine with this but actually he had his spreadable white kind until I put them into gingerbread. I need some festivity and creativity so I make the first batch today. I want them prettier than ever, not like the bar is high but they were kinda cute before. Did you know people use 200g sugar (I obviously use sugar alcohol. I tried to buy sugar and couldn’t. I have these mental barriers I can’t break) per egg white for decoration when they want detailed decoration, not like mine that is flowy but works for simple stuff? That’s one reason rock painting sounds better. I can do pretty easier and it’s a more permanent gift/decoration. It’s not like I will meet the little kid relative of mine who probably prefers the gift edible - but who knows? Maybe she is a little artist and rock lover. Rocks rocks even without painted! :smiley:
Next time I shot my (carnivore) food, I will put painted rocks next to it. I have ladybugs this far, simple but impressive. And some people can mess up even that, amazing.

Erm, I got carried away. I wanted to inquire about the ratios :slight_smile: Most people use lots of cream. My ice cream is mostly yolks. My old one didn’t even have cream (I didn’t add back lactose for a long time but I wanted ice cream then) but I sweetened it and lemon and banana was needed. My carnivore one isn’t fully carnivore but close enough, it contains some rum :slight_smile: It’s basically some kind of eggnog at the state when whites aren’t added, frozen. It is very good and definitely sweet, I just never want sweets when on carnivore, it probably would change if I managed to stay on it for long…? But I am not sure about most things if carnivore is involved, it changes me too much.
I think for every egg yolk, 10g cream should be perfect…? I too rarely make carnivore-ish ice cream, I don’t remember. But the rum is important and it keeps my ice cream soft enough too.

The strict policy about the Christmas is very sad :frowning: I don’t even want family Christmas myself this year but being FORBIDDEN… It’s too much to me. We are social, such things are important, there must be some limit and I consider this limit to be at the wrong place…
Forbidding travel between villages? I only find it okay for very extreme circumstances. I would be left without food with such restriction (we have a ton of carbs but that doesn’t help me so much. I have about 2 weeks worth of carni food and I use them up even off carnivore, of course, just possibly, not surely a bit slower)… And invading your home… Sigh.

We don’t have nearly as serious restrictions. Almost 2% of the population is sick with Covid now.
Up to 10 people may celebrate together.

We have it easy as we don’t really notice any problem due to the restrictions (well, no visitation in hospital was a slight problem but we talked a lot and it didn’t last long). I enjoy being far from people very much, it’s the same as before except the choir but I don’t really miss that either. I visit my family whenever I want and I am lucky to live with a great person in harmony. Even I would be a bit lonely all alone.
I only had problems when the wildlife park was closed for 3.5 weeks, that was stressful and troubling. And I would suffer from true quarantine but we never had it, only curfew lately but I never had a habit of nightly walks in winter.
I mostly feel with other people who has actual troubles in this situation, it’s really no big deal to me personally - now that it wasn’t even a year. I need it to be temporal just like everyone else. But it’s obviously a serious problem for many people especially if their work is heavily affected.
It’s good we have internet and mobile phones and whatnots, I can’t even imagine what it would have been if such a pandemic have happened decades ago. I so appreciate what we have now in these modern times.

I don’t know anything about the vaccines - well I read an article Alvaro left open on the tablet, he is the one reading everything he can about it and he wants it as soon as possible too now.

He asked the blood plasma donor centrum today, nope, it’s not recommended without a spleen at all. Oh well. Apropos spleen, we both are rooting for a new small spleen to appear, it has a pretty high change after a spleen trauma, little parts go to places and if they find a nice vein, they can become tiny ones and without a spleen, a tiny one gets bigger… There is little to known about these things (I’ve read it wasn’t even known the spleen is good for something until the 50s?) but a small new spleen must be more useful than none at all. Alvaro emits welcoming feelings towards his hopefully new little spleen(s) to bump up his chances. Hey, it can’t hurt to hope and believe in such things and we can’t say it’s completely useless. So we are hopeful.

His mom came today and brought a tiny plastic Christmas tree! As we still didn’t find ours. HOW it could disappear in this small house, we looked every possible place we could think and nothing… But we have one now, we will decorate it soon. I would like some tiny festive mood. It’s never very much in my life but something would be nice…

The palpitations were so bad I went to the emergency room twice. I stopped caffeine, lowered histamine, stopped eating certain foods. It was the Mg.


#292

@VirginiaEdie, yes I hear ya cause I hit emergency room once only at about 2AM cause at night my heart was flip flopping so bad I thought one of those times it was gonna stop, I tell ya it scared me silly and ekg was ‘fine’ and they said do a cardiologist which I did and then test after test and more til I get ‘benign’ pvcs after it all and thought, omg food and drink did this literally to me! I do have about 3,000 extra beats thru tests but that is low compared to some who are in the 30,000 extras and omg I can’t even imagine a life like that cause on the ‘pvc forum’ I hit so many were suffering.

girl if mag does the job then mag up I would :slight_smile: I hear ya big time on this one :heart_eyes_cat:


(Vic) #293

250ml cream, 2 egg yolks, half teaspoon honey.


#294

Vic you ain’t gonna go ‘too ketovore’ thru this CHALLENGE to hold ZC thru this month are ya? I can see it now, hmmm, should I eat this or not? Should I hold our Twelve Days of Carnivore all in? Ah HA we got ya LOL

I kinda wanna do you but I won’t cause if one can jump a bit I get it easily cause even with the baby jumps those who do well do well…I am not one of those.


(Vic) #295

To be honnest, I do not have to be “challenged” to be Carnivore, its very easy and natural to me.

The only reason I go Ketovore at the end of the year is to fit in more at xmas and new year dinners. Sometimes family and frends spend a lot of time and love to make the best food. Don’t want to hurt their feelings and appreciate their efforts.

Doing ketovore is more a challenge that just keep eating normal.

On that note, dinner:

Leftovers with eggs and cheese

Can’t seem to upload any pics these past few days so you’re just going to have to imagine the giant sized beef short rib I ate today. It weighed in at 11oz, I deducted 6.7oz for the bone! It was very tender and it nearly beat me but I held on tight and ploughed through the majestic piece of beef.

Had a wee bit of cheese later but just as a taste changer.

@Carnivoor we have similar xmas restrictions here in Uk and only gatherings of 6 for the 5 days over the festive period. We will probably have to pay back with another Lockdown after its over. Our Xmas Market in Nottingham city centre opened last Saturday and was closed down Sunday because it was mobbed and deemed unsafe! That has also happened in other shopping venues around the UK. Your restriction sound fiercer the ours!


(Vic) #297

Yep, but it doesn’t work, nobody is adhering to it, its not possible to keep mothers from their children etc. None I know follow the rules.

Besides that, lockdown never works (says 23 studies on the subject)

Its winter, no matter what you do, a bunch of virusses are gonna get you. Eat and live healthy to stay safe is my 2cents.

Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts, just upload again if it fails


(Karen) #298

Sometimes the pics upload and sometimes they don’t a bit annoying really.

Yes I agree that if we eat and live a healthy lifestyle we can’t do much more to prevent being affected by the virus. However I have a friend who died from covid just a couple of weeks ago… a very lovely lady. My daughters friends died from covid… another of my friends has only just returned home from being in ICU with covid. I also have several colleagues from work still off suffering with what is now being called long term covid. I dont know anyone who has died from the flu virus! This is real and tragic. I will keep eating well and exercising my lungs and body and hopefully keep the horrid virus at bay.

Really enjoyed my evening meal tonight.

I was feeling a bit hungry, so I overdid it - 3x 97% pork sausages, a rib eye steak, and 2 eggs.

I managed a great sear on the steak. I think this is because I’d been cooking the sausages for 10 or so minutes before adding the steak, so the ghee was very hot in the pan. I think that’s the best steak I’ve cooked this year.

I ate the sausages and just managed to finish the steak (I was debating putting a bit in the fridge for tomorrow), but I only managed the yolks of the eggs.

It was far more than I’d cook normally, and I can see why I didn’t finish - but I suddenly felt quite hungry when I came to cook. I think this is because I didn’t have too much for my evening meals the last two nights, and I reckon it caught up with me.

Anyway, it was super satisfying. :grin:

Only gatherings of six? I thought we were allowed a three household bubble! I will scurry off and check the gov.uk website but this presents us with a problem.
