    Find a local meat market/butcher for tallow/lard. Itll be cheaper and better quality than grocery store. And easier to find. I'm finding beef tallow for $27 a pound on Amazon, unless you're buying bulk. The beef tallow in my fridge was from a local butcher and was $4 a pound.

    Anecdotally, from personal experience with addiction and many people i know: food addictions can be harder to kick than drug addictions. I was addicted to alcohol. Not just addicted, but chemically dependent. I went through withdrawal symptoms when I quit. I was also addicted to other drugs...

    Newsflash: organized crime lords don't care about the law. They're doing it, and so far despite attempts to crack down, they're getting away with it. No one is stopping you from googling this.

    They literally sell EVOO that isn't really EVOO. They might use some weird labeling laws to get away with it.

    I'm not the one doing it. You'll have to ask the companies that are committing the fraud.

    Are you missing the point that the problem is that the ingredients list is a lie, and companies are fraudulently selling adulterated products?

    The oil gets far, far better as you use it. It does pick up some flavor. Don't cook fish in it if youre going to cook anything else. That's why we even had one fryer set aside just for fish in the restaurants I used to work in.

    If you're using it to fry one turkey and then dispose of it, yeah that's a waste. Back when I had a frier, I'd fry like everything I ate for a week. It was simultaneously disgusting and glorious. I've fried some interesting shit.

    Tallow, lard, butter. If you want to remove the dairy solids, ghee.

    It's not terrible tasting but I prefer the fresh made stuff from the bakery Edit: I just saw it was a recipe you posted. There's a brand with the Same name, which is what I was thinking of.

    So I've ran ketogenic diets many times. I used to compete in sports that required making weight, so a quick and easy way to cut, was keto diets. Also, the whole carnivore diet I told you about. Also did whole30 and was getting few enough carbs there that it ended up being a keto diet. For me...

    I think people are getting confused about some things. It's a matter of fact that calorie deficit means you lose weight, while surplus means you gain. That doesn't always mean FAT loss. And it doesn't mean you aren't losing muscle. You're always going to lose some muscle when you cut weight...

    This isn't even a protein drink. It's a meal replacement drink. It's got as much fat as it does protein (14g) and has 45 carbohydrates. If you want to have a pre-mixed protein drink, fairlife isn't bad. I actually suggest just buying a powdered whey concentrate, isolate or blend of the two...

    I spent 9 months on a carnivore diet. Other than some spices, I didn't eat ANYTHING that wasn't an animal product. I didn't cheat at all. I ate a ton, was never hungry, lost 30 lbs. I quit because I just really missed a lot of my favorite foods, and I wanted an increase in athletic...

    Not outdated. Just wrong. It was propaganda intended to prop up certain sectors of the food economy.

    I can give an anecdote here. I did a strict, no cheating, carnivore diet for 8 months. My only carbs were those that were in the dairy products I'd consume. The primary source of calories was animal fats. The only non animal ingredients I was consuming were the seasonings I would use on the...
