@Brunneria , that sounds perfectly doable on my lamp-oil powered thing! I can simply throw veggies in during the last or so hour
Just use the lowest setting maybe check the liquid level every couple of hours..I need to try if my oven will go so low in heat, but I'm afraid not It's a gas stove, at least 70 years old...
https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-a-dutch-oven-995650Google gives all sorts of confusing results for Dutch oven. What is it? Do you mean a big pot on the lamp-oil powered cooking thing?
Yes, most anecdotes have to be taken with a large tablespoon of salt. A pointer for research and perhaps a small tryout, n=1. Seems true for most dietary regimes on the net, raw fruitarian through all colours to carnivore. Not all sites are bad though, ketogenic forums .com discuss and except T2Ds & IR peeps from suggestions of protein stuffing.Yeah, you will find quite a lot of 'veteran worship' and recounting of 'longterm experiences' on the various carni blogs and FB groups. I signed up for a few, and left quite quickly when I noticed how many newbies were setting themselves up as experts just because they could quote 'veterans'. Real life is a little more complex than parroting someone else.
What you will find though is a recurring idea that when some people start carnivore, their bodies gain a bit of weight.
This is usually touted as 'healing' after 'years of malnutrition and eating the wrong stuff' and 'once you give your body a chance to heal, it won't hold onto food so much, and your weight will naturally and effortlessly start to fall'.
No idea whether there is any truth in that or not.
2 years of carni, much 'healed' gut issues, much less inflammation' and I still gain with huge protein portions. So it ain't true for me.
I had some interesting discussion with a lady on another site (ketodudes) who had a similar experience. She posted t say that she gained 30 pounds in 6 weeks when starting carnivore. Felt great. Had everyone telling her 'don't worry it is just "healing" and stick with it'.
But at that rate of gain she had had enough, and went back to keto with veg - and the weight gain stopped.
Took her months to scrape her weight down to her starting weight again.
My own weight only fluctuates from carb intake (which includes gluconeogenesis) and fluid retention.
For me, minimal (or zero) carbs means I can eat lots of keto food and not gain, whereas a few too many g of carbs/protein and the weight starts to pile on like toffee on an apple. So it is all about the insulin resistance, for me. Hence my keto carni, not the all you can eat buffet carni. However, since even fasting and zero carbs do not reduce my IR enough, my body hangs on to the weight I have. At least, that is my working theory. I would need a clued up endocrinologist who supported Fung and keto and Carni, with a limitless budget for tests to check things thoroughly.
I like fat in my food, and despite having been overweight all my life, I've never felt the urge to cut off the best part of my foods, whatever general consensus had us believing! I've seen too much suffering from friends trying to lose weight from the time I was 10 to ever want to start that route.You may have very different preferences, but I urge you to keep some of the fat, since it adds so much flavour and texture to the dish.
Found this on Facebook. Ribeye Ninja here! Feel a forum username change coming on

Anyone doing anything radical next month just for fun?
Perhaps Egguary?
Was thinking of doing fasting every other day.. fasting feb?
I guess egg fasting every other day could become a "thing".. the Egguary Fast?
