Thanks all

I didn’t know the “carnivore diet” was a thing, so I googled it and it is indeed! I am familiar with the Atkins diet, which has an emphasis on meat. Thing to watch out for is high saturated fat and cholesterol, but everyone knows that. Diet also includes chicken, so that can round out the red meat.

I personally enjoy meat. Anyway, there are some very good recommendations on where to eat here. Enjoy your stay!

Can second the motion for Artman's on 42. The best restaurant in the area is supposed to be Mark's Prime Steakhouse in Ocala but I haven't tried it yet.

Try Ipanema Brazilian steakhouse in Ocala. Will not disappoint.

I've been doing carnivore for about 3 weeks. I've lost 10 lbs and feel great. We're up north for the holidays but I too was hoping for a Carnivore group in The Villages. We're part timers so it would be tough to start one but I'm willing to help out when we're there.

We look forward to meeting you.

I couldn't find the group on nextdoor. I tried spelling Meat both ways (meet)? Idk if it's possible to share a link or any other info that would help.

In the south end, Willie Jewels has great smokehouse meat options as well.

True, but it’s very expensive and very difficult to get a reservation. As I recall, you have to do it at midnight two months in advance. When I ate there, the meal was extraordinary, but it was also $750 for two. (Granted, the four teaspoons of caviar was almost $200 of that.)

Thanks for the reply, but I don’t do ND or FB. I guess I’ll just keep watching posts. Looking forward to more videos from Rusty.

Is that a thing? You only eat meat? No cheese? No vegetables? I know it will make your HDL cholesterol go up, but doesn’t it put your kidneys at risk? Isn’t it boring? No more cookies or sandwiches?

Or do you mean you eat carnivores? There are places serving alligator, but usually it is breaded, then fried in vegetable oil, so that wouldn’t be on your diet.

Yes for thouse doing the highly acidic diet (LOL) there is a brazilian steak house in Ocala called Impanema. Around here... well... like one post said don't expect much for food..... it's eh at best "in the bubble" (and before y'all go nuts telling me I'm wrong, just stop. I've got a restaurant background and my taste buds aren't old either)

yes it's a version of Keto, it's meats aka proteins only it doesn't make the HDL go up at all, actually it eats it away. However it's highly acidic and if not balanced out (depending on blood type and physical nature since every person is different) it can take your blood Ph from Alkaline to Acidic which then stops the natural workings of the body and could cause some seriously bad things to happen. Teeth come to mind as saliva is alkaline, and turning it acidic means you are going to have a lot of dental visits and more

For all of you carnivores, here are some fancy restaurant specials to try:

* The All-You-Can-Eat Cardiac Arrest
* The EMT Bone-In Special
* Coronary Clogger Delight
* The Elevated Blood-Pressure Plate
* special desert: Statin Enhanced Ice Cream Pie

(sorry, this was all done in good humor (sort of). BTW, any idea why we evolved with flat teeth instead of canine teeth?

[MikeN]

Try Oak Wood. It’s outside the villages on rat 441/27 but well worth the price and visit. Barbecue is there specialty QUOTE=SteveCanada;2276285]Great info on this site .. thanks to all who share !
