Well, I went and did it... I discovered the fountain of Youth!
It's been hiding where the "Health Experts" don't want you to go
Watch till the end to see the new me

Hi mate, you give a young spud like me at 57 hope for many more years in the water

If you are not already doing it, I would add lifting weights to your workout routine, as muscle loss is what gets a lot of people in the end. And with all the protein that you are eating you should be able to add muscle easily.

I look back at photos of me from 7 years ago and man my shoulders and arms were going fast. I was cycling a lot and its great for cardio and weight loss, but not great for our bone density or upper body muscle. I really enjoyed it but knew I had to get back to lifting weights. I get plenty of stick form work mates for spending my lunch break in the gym, I try to explain its not about "looking good" but rather how I am going to live the last 15 to 20 years of my life.

And being strong and active is top of that idea, and if I practice enough I might surf as well as you

Cheers and keep spreading the stoke.

Steve.

I am adding an 8'5 Ghost to the Quiver and probably an 8'2 on my next delivery. Probably a few months.

Congrats Rick. Here's to many many more days on the SUP!!

It's not just the weight loss on Carnivore that's awesome... recovery, digestion, skin, anxiety etc. all improve markedly.

Totally right Hoppo, it is so amazing... I tell everyone that I don't focus on the weight loss anymore.
I study the Science 4-5 hours a day on how truly capable our bodies are designed to heal and prevent once you give it the proper food. It's truly eyeopening!

So many hundreds of Doctors, research scientists, clinical Physicians that have adopted the "Functional Medicine" world and their sole focus is to prevent disease and cure disease, mostly by informing people about Human Biology, Metabolic Heath and what foods are best to feed the human body so it can repair itself.
I have a growing list of selfless, super qualified and intelligent Doctors that freely share EVERYTHING they know and give us the latest studies that Mainstream Medicine ignores.
After following the "Health Experts" nutrition advice for 50 years, and remaining Fat after 3 months of dieting on tasteless food, I finally understand who they are really working for.... and it isn't us!

Bottom line... you can be Carnivore or Plant based to support good health, but you must know what you need from each and what to avoid.

I love what I eat, have zero cravings and will live in some kind of slightly wider Carnivore world without hesitation!

I am adding this picture for people that don't watch the video

Went Carnivore in mid-April, and felt my way around for months before realizing all the stuff I wasn't understanding.
Then I found the Docs and it was easy after I studied them!!!

Awesome great job. Inspiring for me you are still going strong into your 70s which is my aim and losing weight is critical to that goal.
On a similar mission down to 89kg from 105kg+ at 61. Aim is 85kg. Thanks for showing us what can be done.

Inspirational Creek

Keep going mate, love your outlook on life

Cheers

Can you share with us what your diet is?

A warning: not only are we all different, but in digestive matters it is even more than that: The majority of the cells (some say 90%) making our body are from external microbes in our gut. These are governing a lot of how we digest food, and needless to say can vary tremendously between individuals.

Just to say that what work for somebody may not work for somebody else.

Plus: all diet works... at first. Starting a diet means you monitor more closely what you eat, and the body takes some time to adapt to the change. This makes ANY diet change make you lose weight automatically in the first 2-3 weeks(*)
The trick is to find the diet that you can sustain on the long term.

(*) Even adding daily 8 lbs of butter to your diet works... at first:
"For about 8 months, the man ate a high-fat, meat-heavy diet, taking diet advice from the internet,
He lost weight, increased energy and improved mental clarity"
But then... he oozed cholesterol through his skin :-)
eu.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2025/01/24/meat-cheese-diet-high-cholesterol-hands/77911062007/

Any response to Carnivore that starts with "a warning"
is coming from a Plant Based advocate

I didn't chose to get into a big controversy here.... this was your choice.

We are NOT all different.
Basically every human on the planet has evolved to live on some form of Carnivore.
It works for everyone.... many simply chose a more Plant Based Lifestyle.

I have always appreciated your input to threads on the Breeze, but seriously, this is the story you ran with?
The story you chose is total insanity"
Quote from your article
"He told doctors he ate 6 to 9 pounds of cheese, sticks of butter, and hamburgers every day, according to a paper published in JAMA Cardiology on Wednesday."
6 to 9 lbs of cheese, butter and hamburgers EVERYDAY?
No one eats like that. Pure clickbait crap.
The ONLY reason stories like this one are published it to protect the interests of Big Pharma and Big Medicine.

Carnivore is not a diet... it is a lifestyle, a totally awesome and healthy lifestyle that will perform well for anyone that choses it.

I have a Carnivore Doctors response to the Cholesterol fear put forth in that article

Just a word on Cholesterol, since you brought it up:
Cholesterol is an interesting topic(*), as it exemplifies the differences between US and European medecine (I don't know for OZ)
Europe has often a more nuanced approach, and more receptive to recent scientific advances.
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1567568821000015

Also France is home to the "Mediteranean diet", famously pro fat (duck confit, red wine,...) but with less red meat.

This may explain why "sugar is bad" is kind of old news here. And my nuanced position.

(*) The current unknown that studies try to evaluate is whether - for people with no previous heart attack - Cholesterol is causing cardiovascular diseases, or it is just an indicator of an underlying problem causing them. Thus lowering Cholesterol may be reducing risks, or on the contrary a decoy that "shoots the messenger" but not reducing the actual risk. Research is ongoing, but already in France your general practitioner is not using Cholesterol as the only indicator.
