Will continue eating 6 lamb hearts today.
I started eating those recently. Delicious when stuffed with sausage meat. I thought I had better watch out for too much iron though.

Will continue eating 6 lamb hearts today.
I am not able to eat meat. Like I mentioned I am unable to chew. So, meat is a big no. How about iron. I checked my cronometer diary and the one thing I am lowest in is iron. That and manganese. Everything else checks out OK. Maybe check your iron levels.@Theta It could be phosphorus, yes. That what i am testing out now.
I don't have any insights other than try something else, and see if it gets better. Maybe do as me and eat mostly meat the next week and see if that makes it better. No matter the outcome you've learned something.
I read somewhere that Peat either recommends fruit and milk, or meat and milk. Maybe i have to be in the meat category. I have been eating carnivore on and off for the past 3 years. Meat has always been something i have craved, and almost could never get enough of, but even i got bored of meat after a couple of weeks on it. I felt great, but craved sugar, and my physical performance was nothing to brag about. So something was missing. I've been eating mostly fruit and milk since i started the Peat diet 2 months ago, but that combo is maybe not for me either.
Yesterday was to a neurologist who switched to acupuncture and is quite good. He said in Chinese medicine Milk is regarded as "wet" and causes water retention. Asked him about the biochemical reason - no idea. Still trying to figure this one out. What I know for sure is it is not the fat content in the milk as butter makes me chiseled nor lactose as lactore free milk has the exact same effect. Maybe will try egg shells for several days and see if it is the calcium. If not, must be some of the proteins.I have been having severe water retention in my legs to the point of my right knee won't bend completely when I squat. The last thing I would think would be the goat milk I drink! I have osteoporosis and drink 2 quarts a day to get my Ca and protein. I add salt and raw honey to the goat milk also.
Any insights?
The cause of the water swelling may actually be just plain old insulin resistance.
@Peater I would assume several ways, but the way i do it is to cut out carbs for a small while and notice if i feel any different.
What i have done today is to only eat coconut fat, and coffee (i had a teaspoon of sugar in the coffee). I feel much better, so I'm leaning now towards it being insulin resistance. Still strange it got worse from eggshells tho.
If it is insulin resistance, the cause of the resistance may be K2 deficiency. Even though i supplement with MK4 and MK7. But I've read MK4 supplement is not very efficient. I've ordered Emu oil (maybe the food source with the most concentrated amounts of MK4 in the world). We will see when that arrives. A friend of mine has had super good results from liquid MK7, but up until now i don't like that the supplement also contains vitamin D. Maybe I'll try it anyway.
