Hey thanks! It's been rough because every time I tried to just eat meat I had severe histamine flares. I did have to get a Rx antihistamine which seems to have settled things down. It's taken me a month to get back into ketosis. But I've already had massive reductions in inflammation and increases in energy and mental clarity. And it makes fasting much easier. Fridays continue to be a challenge but we are figuring it out.
I spent a bunch of $$$ of unaged beef and what a waste... Maybe it's the supplier I chose but the steaks were mostly gristle, even the ribeyes. And I can get the same type of ground beef at Aldi for much less. They seem to be on the carnivore bandwagon with lots of selections.
Swapping recipes is greatly appreciated. Oh, I also got a Blackstone griddle........what a game changer!

You are absolutely correct, Fridays are definitely a challenge; I have a local seafood restaurant/market that I buy royal red shrimp from and it’s the best I e ever had, has a lobster type texture to it.
I have a Fresh market that blends me up a 50/50 mix(50%fat trimmings) of ground chuck that is a go to throughout most of the week at 4.99/lb, better than the average 80/20 I get at the big market stores.

But doesn't the fat melt away and leave relatively little meat when you cook it?

That's one reason why I no longer buy it. The other reason is it makes us gag....too much fat. 80/20 works well for my family. But some people really do well with more fat.
Anyone tried tallow? I haven't yet. Bacon grease and butter are my primary cooking fats.

I haven't been able to find a cheap source. I think when we go through buying a cow, could make our own. Same, I use those as well as lard.

Not at all, it's cooked at a low temp, I haven't noticed any loss of meat but definitely superior flavor.

I use tallow quite frequently, love it as it's a healthy fat and obviously far superior to the poison canola, sunflower, seed oils. I actually have found a wagyu tallow that is amazing!

I've thought about that. We do have local organic/hormone/injection free cattle producers. I may have to go that route.

Just drink milk guys

Carnivore/keto religion will only make you fatter and, potentially, send your soul to hell as you rationalize your gluttony for fats with "muh keto".

I do enjoy a glass of raw goat milk, pricey but delicious

I agree.

I agree with him that we should not treat this way of eating for health as a religion. There are those who proselytize meat dogma and literally will attack carnivorists online if they deviate from laws of "meat purity".

I get it, $1 per 1/2 gallon from a suburban mini farm! It helps to know the right people. They’ll put it aside for me by request most of the time. Sometimes they throw in a little butter. It depends upon how much their goats are producing. Two are expecting right now, so they’re a little short of supply. Once the kids are born and weaned, they’ll have more than they can use. Sales are strictly private, word of mouth because selling raw milk is illegal here, even privately. If questioned, it’s a donation towards farm supplies.

I envy you! I won't even reveal what my local farmer charges for a 1/2 gallon here in FL but it's nowhere close to what you're paying. I'm going to have to shop around but my current source is only 3 miles from my house. That said...lucky you!!

Yes, you're correct, too many attack meat only lovers without doing their homework, they just want to ostracize them, or so it seems

Yes, eating deviled eggs on Easter is a demonstration of Christ's victory over satan.

Wow, the wildly cheap! We sell our raw goat milk for $8/gallon if we have extra. Any less than that, I’d rather feed it to the dogs, cats and chickens to save $$ on feed that way.
Thankfully in KS it is legal to sell raw milk, but not anything made from the milk. So for cheese, we go by a “donation” basis like you mentioned above.

Being fat is a biological jail cell. Stop your vulture diet.
White rice and white sugar is the cleanest and most powerful, efficient energy-producing nutrition that God gave us.

Wow, that is still considerably less than the local store up the street which sells it for, gulp, $14/half-gallon.
On a related note, is there a difference in the "which product is better for you" category, raw goat versus raw cow milk?
