    In the area where I live I don’t get food when out with friends or workmates, I’ll eat at home, or have eaten at home

    Now I eat pemmican I think my travel food is also sorted :)

    In the past I have bought steak wherever and cooked it, sometimes where I was staying, sometimes at a barbeque in a nearby park

    I usually don’t dine out. But I settle for stuff like hamburger patties, naked hot dogs, etc. Or just keep snackage with me. I like zero sugar smoked sausages.

      Animals are killed in every food harvesting system. A cow supplies a thousand meals and has the fewest animal deaths per meal

              One of the good things about this way of eating is you don’t need to worry about calories. Eat when you’re hungry, stop when you’ve had enough and become healthy

              We avoid seed oils because they are 1. New, and 2. Most likely unhealthy, though we get practically all our energy from fat

        well, yes, I’m trying to avoid elevated blood glucose, and industrial oils. That is the point of the community.

        Carnivore makes it very simple for me to maintain my health plan.

            If your asking the more general question about the difference between seed oils and animal fats -

            Animal fats are saturated, and have a high omega 3 content. Animal fats do not interfere with the bodies cholesterol and are not associated with insulin resistance

              Ok, I think you’ve gotten a bit confused by someone peddling a scam diet.

              • Basically all fat sources are a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats
              • Coconut and palm oil are much better sources of saturated fats than animal fat, but you don’t really want to be consuming those either, because
              • Saturated fats have definitely been associated with insulin resistance - monounsaturated fats are the one that reduce it.

              Canola and Olive oils are the ones you want to be using to help with cholesterol and insulin resistance.

                Can you please cite direct sources? All the papers I’ve read indicate the opposite

                Saturated fats have definitely been associated with insulin resistance

                What is the mechanism is this? How does fat increase insulin resistance? Fat does not trigger a insulin response.

                  Well the most famous I know of is the Kanwu Study

                  How does fat increase insulin resistance? Fat does not trigger a insulin response.

                  Insulin regulates your metabolism and the conversion between sugars and fats within your body, affecting everything from sugar production to protein synthesis. Your body isn’t a simple mechanism where everything has one job and is unaffected by the rest of the chemical soup. Fats don’t trigger a release of insulin, that doesn’t mean they have no effect on it.
