Message: <blockquote data-quote="D@n1el" data-source="post: 2249655" data-attributes="member: 517441">Thank you very much for your reply, bulkbiker!I suppose if I eat 572g of sirloin, I'll get 95g of protein (1.58 g/kg) and 1557 calories. To reach 2000 calories, I would have to eat 735g of sirloin (not a problem at all to me!), but then I'd get 122g of protein.I don't know if it's gluconeogenesis or there's something else going on with me, but something that was key to my BG getting more or less stabilized was avoiding more than 95g of protein a day (95g to be safe, day after day safe, but things get really bad somewhat above that, really). So with 122g of protein, I should expect my BG getting (not immediately, not two hours later, not four hours later, but many hours later) higher. Unless that the total absence of vegetables on carnivore could change something else, like affecting gluconeogenesis mechanism a bit or (in case gluconeogenesis has nothing to do with it, I really don't know) someone's glucose reaction to higher doses of protein.Is there any kind of "fat supplementation" that a strict carnivore diet would allow? Something nearly zero protein and with lots of fat? I'm on low carb now, I eat a decent amount of meat, but would like to go carnivore. Nowadays, I supplement fat with a couple spoons of olive oil, or milk butter, or a bulletproof coffee. Things like that allow me nowadays to reach 2000~2500 calories with <95g of protein and <10g of carb.I'm not sure milk butter would be acceptable on a strict carnivore context (I suppose not), but to me it could be anything that just adds fat, so I could stay below 95g of protein and still reach 2000 calories.I can't stop thinking about that sirloin now!</blockquote>
