Unintentional Oxalate Overload on a "Healthy Diet"

You may have heard of oxalate because it is infamously implicated in kidney stone formation. Oxalate is damaging in higher concentrations, cannot be metabolized, and needs to be excreted.

This post will cover oxalate, what foods contain it, the problems it can cause, and what to do about reducing oxalate if you are experiencing a problem.

Carnivore Diet Updat 4: I Have Achieved All of My Goals

Today is Day number 286 of my carnivore diet journey, and I have only eaten animal-based foods. I did have a few small departures. I started the diet with two specific goals: eliminating chronic medial epicondylitis and tenosynovitis in my left thumb. I have officially achieved both goals. I have realized numerous benefits as well and would like to share them in today’s post.
