Seek out and find the best sources of the freshest and purest animals, the majority of my struggles early into the diet was mostly related to the difficulty and expense of obtaining enough quality meat to sustain an active lifestyle. Finding a steady fat source in pasture raised sheep was a real life saver.

There were times when I would rather go without than eat bad tasting meat, so in desperate times I would use calorie restriction for short periods and would lose a few pounds here and there, but I would always gain it back with the next fresh fat kill.

Ive maintained a weight around 170 pounds for the first 7 years on the diet, but recently over the last year it been closer to around 185. My financial situation has stabilized and no longer have to work myself to death. Though I am not entirely food secure, things have been much better overall than they were when I was starting out.

For the last three months Ive been eating good on shetland Rams. They are much smaller than the other breeds, and so I will go through a full grown animal within three weeks. I have been living off of more fresh meat than usual. After exhausting the older animals from this farm, I have four young rams left to go that are much smaller and so I will be going through one about every two weeks. Just butchered one the other day and although he was small,he was really good and had just the right amount of fat...The next two months I will have a diet of extremely fresh flesh and blood.

It does seem that as long as I have fresh organs and blood there is little need for very many supplemental vegetable carbs, though I still consume a moderate amount of coconut butter and the occasional small salad...when on such a fresh kill binge total daily carb intake rarely exceeds 30g pre day.
