Food Porn

I'm not going to go there because...well...it sounds stupid.

Of course they said the same thing about basic low carb eating 10 years ago.  Now its widely accepted that people need to limit their glycemic load.

Remember when they all told us we should be eating transfat margarine?

bp 186/38, no doctor would send you home.

think you need to correct your bottom number.

Hmm.  That doesn't look right.  But that's what I had written down. 

Or maybe I can't read my own writing.    It was high. I know that.  Dr said we would eventually have to discuss BP medicine.

Anyway, the 124/77 if from last night.  I can live with that.

[guncrasher]

it's the bottom number that is the problem.  think it's more like 88, you probably spilled some a1 sauce on there paper. another reason why you shouldn't use it.

Nope.  I definitely wrote down 38, but that is obviously wrong.  I wrote it down when I got home, but either miss-remembered what I heard or I bet I transposed it.  I bet it should have been 138/86.  That would be more reasonable. 

186 would be nuts. LoL.  It was getting high, but the doctor wasn't panicking. He was just warning me that if I didn't improve it by next visit through diet and exercise, he was going to start recommending some pills.   And I don't want to get started down that road.  That was 6 months ago.

The moral of the story is, unless you have a specific genetic BP issue, I believe just dropping weight can drop your BP to more reasonable levels.  And for me, it must not be a salt problem, because I am getting a bunch of sodium now (bacon, bone broth, etc).  In fact, in the first month I was supplement above my dietary intake to fight the Keto Flu.  But I do know a guy who is highly salt sensitive with his BP, so again genetics play a big role too.

Hmmm found some more food porn on my phone from last year.  I had gotten pretty good at homemade Sushi.  Found a store on my part of town that sold sushi grade fish.  A LOT  cheaper than going out.  I'd make it about once a week or so. 

I can live without pizza, but I do miss my sushi carbs.







OK.  Is this weird?  Do I photograph my food too much?

I was full blown diabetic when I started talking to the Peterson's (Jordan and Mikhaila). At the point I went into the carnivore diet I had been on pure veggie diet and water for a month. Then I went full blown raging carnivore. The diabetes is in full retreat, but the doctor insists I stay on the medicine. Insanity. Avoid soy. It's fillers like that which are making people sick, I'm convinced.

The best meats for me are elk, moose, bear, and buffalo. One of the reasons I want to start flying floats is so I can get into Alaska and hunt the best meats.

Well, that just sounds....stupid.    (I'm just referring to some other peoples comments.)

We should spin off a Carnivore thread, I'd like to pick your brain and hear your experience.


In the meantime, show me some Elk meat porn beotch!

Meant no offense, Trips, was rolling off earlier comment. 

Nevertheless, as you said, it wasn't long ago that people thought that high-carb was the way to go.  And there are the veggie diets, the starvation diets...These fad diets come and go.

LoL.  I'm used to it.  It doesn't make a dent.  I've heard everything from "you're a moron" to honest concern for my health. And that was just my Mom and Dad. 

Like I said.  I may not do it forever, but it might be something I go back to from time to time as a detox/reset.  Like fasting.  I've done some fasting and I think that is very therapeutic in short duration of not much more than a week or so.  I've done 5 days a couple of times.  But fasting is really hard for most people.  I think this has some of the same benefits, but I found it a lot less painful.

It's not a religion for me, but is has been an interesting experiment.

Look up "Meat Eater" on Netflix. If all you eat is beef, then saddle up near a cattleman and offer to shoot any coyotes he's bothered with. Before you shoot any, though, make sure you have an avenue to have the carcass processed. I hate reading about dead coyotes in a ditch anywhere.

It's funny how attitudes differ across the country.  Where are you from?

In Texas, you can't kill enough coyotes for most peoples taste.  I've never heard of processing one.  Unless you call hanging their carcass on your bob-wire fence to rot as a trophy "processing". 

You used to cut their ears off and take the to courthouse and get paid.  They didn't care what you did with the rest of them.    I'm not sure if they still do that.

The only thing they want you to kill more off without mercy than coyotes is wild pigs.  At least in Texas.

Are there humans that would eat a coyote?  On purpose?   

[Shuffler]

If you need sauce, you ain't cooking it right.

Yes, you can find videos about it on YT. Me I just meant for the hide. Despite the fur fears and hatred there are still coats made from coyote fur, and why not? To me it's not worth processing the hide for the $50 pelt reward, but if I can make someone happy by offering free carcass, why not? The standard AR in .556 works great even suppressed, but cattlemen may still have concerns until they know you aren't trigger happy. I hunt coyote primarily in lower Alabama, but also anywhere else in the panhandle that is having a problem. I started doing this because our neighbors cat disappeared and I found the kill spot in my front yard, really just the fur scattered in all directions. I have cattle now, so the concern was real but also for my kids. I think I have them exterminated for 100 miles or so, but it's hard to tell because Alabama does not allow hunting at night and our game warden discourages me from even stalking at night. I have game cameras up and nothing has been triggered except a panther and hogs passing through. Nothing makes you more nervous than the thought of a panther in the area when you're belly crawling for coyotes with a predator call.

I have 15 ac about 50 mi SW of Ft Worth with a weekend cabin.  My neighbor has 90 ac fenced with some kind of fancy antelope or something.  He has a constant battle with yotes.  They always find a way in even though its surrounded with 9ft fence.  He has invited me for some night culling.  He has night vision scopes. 

I've heard them somewhere on my property at night yelping.  They give me the creeps.  They're cockroaches with fur.
