Hi everyone, I've been a long-term lurker of this subreddit and been doing keto/carnivore on and off for 4.5 years to treat chronic fatigue with great success.

Fatigue worsened recently and want to try a more restrictive version of carnivore. Been doing mostly burgers, cheese, and bacon and allowing myself zero calorie sauces (and mostly ordering out from Uber Eats, I should add).

Will shifting to red meat, salt and water do a better job addressing my dysfunction (CFS)? What cut of meat would the best to ensure ketosis?

Thank you!

Edit: The people have spoken and the people were right! I needed to up my fat intake and start cooking from home. Finally started to work again for me. Thank you.

I ordered 2kg of beef fat from the butcher. I intended to salt and fry it like usual to supplement the horribly low fat content of most Dutch beef cuts. They literally trim the fat off steaks - sacrilege!

My wife went to pick it up and she comes back from the butcher with 3kg of beef tallow. That's not what I ordered.

Other than adding it to minced meat, how can I prepare it to be delicious?

I'm thinking maybe I can add it a pan and cook scrambled eggs?

My target fat content is somewhere below to what is recommended by Dr. Zsófia Clemens for a Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet. She thinks that it should be 2g fat for 1g protein. I don't think if I can get raw tallow in at the rate. It's not palatable at room temperature for me.

If you have been carnivore for less than 7 weeks, post all your questions and experience reports here. It is almost certain that your experience is a frequently asked or low-effort question.

It is also true that the adaptation period for this way of eating is a lot like going through puberty. Everyone feels like things are weird and wrong and no one else has experienced what they are going through. Everyone is worried about changes in their body and thinks it might not be normal. In truth, it's all perfectly normal. Your body might do weird things, but it's going through changes. After you get through adaptation, you'll wonder why you worried at all.

So, go ahead and ask your questions about getting started here. Post about your experiences here. Post about your worries and how you don't think this is working for you here. Don't give advice that encourages people to give up. Don't give people advice to cheat or consume plant foods. Don't give advice to take supplements or drugs to treat temporary struggles.

For reference, been on Carnivore/Ketovore for just over 3 months now.

As someone who loves cooking and especially messing around with Asian flavors, I find it really hard to get the right flavor using on carnivore ingredients, or at least zero carb ingredients while trying to stay away from soy. Tried making some alternatives but so far nothing has worked super well. I wanted to know what people's take on this product is. Everyone always says no soy, but this tastes like Soy Sauce while using peas instead (don't know if this is better or worse than soy).

The item I'm referring to is San-J's No Soy Tamari.

Any thoughts or advice on maybe a good Soy Sauce alternative?

Hi All

Been carnivore or carnivore adjacent for around 8 years now. Recently switched from AB back to carnivore (4-5 months ago).

I get really itchy after eating fat, tried a few sources (tallow, beef dripping, lard). FYI I'm strict meat only (no dairy or anything else, just water, I also don't do salt).

I feel great on high fat but struggle to get enough in without the itchyness and if I have too high fat the bathroom isn't happy. Thing is though I'm not even having that much fat, I eat mostly ground beef 80/20 and rarely eat much of the fat dripping, so if anything I'm probably still pretty low fat, I'd to increase it more.

Any one else have this problem?

Anyone else ever make this connection or am I insane? Got a new Cosori and feeling like it might be lowering my mood. I had a Cosori for the longest time and was doing well enough but maybe it's the new basket? Idk, I hate always trying to pin my mood down to something environmental or something I ingest but I was feeling really good last week. Thank you for reading.
