I havn't viewed this yet but it should be pertinent (as well as highly informative).
I'm in agreement about cucumber , make me feel ill keep repeating on me so don't eat it now and peppers i just don't like .I am not 100% carnivore especially in the summer with my vegetable garden. However I am noticing that increasingly I’m not enjoying some vegetables like pepper and cucumbers . And enjoying meat more.
I find the healthier I become the more in tune I am with my body and I feel better listening to my reactions to food.I'm in agreement about cucumber , make me feel ill keep repeating on me so don't eat it now and peppers i just don't like .

Interesting I loved broccoli and now I get heart burn.I had 2 mouthfuls of cauliflower on Wednesday. Part of my trialing veg test run.
Oh the horror.
I used to love cauli, but now... nope.
Won’t be bothering again, unless I suddenly redevelop that liking.

I have one that does it. I’ve only experimented once.Carnivores don't like cucumbers:

All it does is re-inforce that fasting is necessary if we want to see nice low triglycerides. In the days when I was told to fast by my surgery, the letter always said 12 to 14 hours so this must be well known by the NHS. My fasting before a test is usually 14 to 15 hours (from first bite) depending on the time of the test.
Aye, but as we have have heard many a time on the forum people are not told to fast or when a patient asks they are told 'there's no need to fast'. And as medications are based on test results then fasting for some of those tests is pertinent.
Fascinating and very relevant for people worried about trig levels...I havn't viewed this yet but it should be pertinent (as well as highly informative).
I always have my blood draw for my diabetic review tests (hba1c, lipid panel liver & kidney function, BG, etc) done by phlebotamists at the hospital / outreach clinics - they always check what time Ive fasted from and the one time I hadn’t, they refused to do it so I had to go back the next dayOh yes, I agree. It is because since 2014 NICE has recommended not to fast, supposedly to make it easier for the surgeries as they can do the tests at any time of day and not be restricted to earlyish mornings, thus they are able to fit in more people each day and save people having to wait for an appointment. If the triglycerides are high enough to cause concern, they are supposed to arrange a fasting test. (that is trigs between 4.5 and 9.9mmol/l)

Yep along with coffee with cream and tea with lactofree milk.. so far down 2.8 pounds since Jan 1 possibly burning off Christmas "excess" which consisted a lot of 90% choc and possibly more pigs in blankets than were advisable while cooking Christmas lunch.
Sounds like a plan I'll start a new thread ok?Same here @bulkbiker down 1.6kg (3.5lbs) in the past week and almost back to the top end of my maintenance weight range. Ketones up to 2.4 (from 0.8).
Christmas (and the few weeks before) saw way too much high cocoa chocolate, almond nut butter, nuts etc.) for me.
Are we posting updates during carnivore month? Would definitely find it motivating.
