except the same but the scallops are wrapped in BACON!


Jumbo shrimp and a sliver of pepper-jack cheese  wrapped in bacon and grilled or fried is good too.

Hey.  sometimes I weaken and think, "Man, I sure miss the old diet I used to have.  I miss beer, pizza, chips and salsa, spagetti, Loaves of that bread they serve at Pappaduexs, etc, etc.  I'm having to deny those pleasures on this diet.  Woe is me, such self-denial, such suffering!"

Then I look down at my plate at the perfectly grilled 16 oz rib-eye with a two TBS wad of Kerry Gold\blue cheese compound butter just beginning to melt into the meat, and a side of butter sauteed jumbo shrimp and scallops.

OK.  Maybe I'll get over it.  :rofl

Sometimes I add shrimp when the steak doesn't seem enough.

All that is for one person for a single meal? Oh wow!

Well if that's the secret to fantastic health thank goodness meat and chicken are at record prices and being blamed for hurricanes, fires and snow storms with their future being priced out of reach for most folks..

How about starting with moderation in everything..including exercise

I believe excess of things brings problems..just look around

Shrug.  Do what works for you.

16 lbs of beef would make two dinners for me and my wife, the shrimps and scallops making a third one. Oh, but you didn't mention carrots and broccoli that my wife likes have on the side, for me you could also add a couple of egg size potatoes (not the sweet ones) to every portion.

I typed 16 oz rib-eye, not 16 lbs. 

450g to you. ;)

I agree 16 lbs would be ...excessive. ;)

Maybe not for everyone.

My view is, and always will be, if you are thriving on your current diet, rock on Garth.

If you are having problems, of any kind, weight, glucose level, insulin resistance, BP, sleep quality, anxiety, depression, autoimmune, arthritis, skin problems, etc, etc, etc,etc,  you might consider a 3 month therapeutic cycle of Carnivore to see if it can help with your issue. 

I think you need to give it 3 months to make it a fair trial. Especially if you are coming straight from a carby life-style.

Month 1 will be challenging.  You body is having to learn to efficiently burn fat rather than carbs for fuel.  That requires a different toolkit of enzymes your body may have forgotten how to produce.  Electrolyte levels have to stabilize. Etc.

Month 2, you should be hitting your stride.  Adjusting your habits.  Wrapping your head around a new way of thinking about food.  No calorie counting, no low-fat.  What you are shooting for is most of your calories coming from fat, a moderate amount from protein, as few carbs as you can manage (preferable near zero).

Month 3 you should start seeing some real improvement in various metrics if it is going to be of help to you.  At least the start of it.  Enough you should be able to notice.

If after 3 months you decide it is not helping, then go back to what you were doing.

If you do see improvements, you have to make a decision.  Are your potatoes more important to you than the improvement in things that you might see improving.

:lol

I meant 16 oz, and actually I looked at a conversion chart when reading that post the first time. 450g boneless meat is enough for the two of us for two meals, four portions.

Some 25+ years ago the hotel I used to stay overnight on a weekly basis had a 250g beef on their list, included into their package for regular visitors. Plenty enough after a day's work, didn't need much of a dinner the next day either.

Oh, didn't mean to offend you by any means. According to what I've seen on TV and heard from people having visited the US several times such amount of beef on the plate is fully normal over there. Here, if that size is printed on the menu, it's titled XXXL and potentially includes a challenge.

We are super sized over here...both the people and the meals that they eat..moderation isn't in our vocabulary

"Fat Americans" is a title many seem to work at daily here..

Most don't exercise enough to eat like what is described in this thread but hey ..to each their own

No offense taken.  I said at the start I don't try and convince skeptics or debate nutrition.  I'll give some info to the Carnivore Curious, and trade notes with fellow travelers.  I feel no need to convince anyone else.  Every one should find what works best for them, and no one is required to agree with my choice.
