Stocking Up on Lamb and Mutton
My local farmers all have lamb available now, so I am going to stock up. I am getting two whole lamb shares in about a week and a half, then next month I will probably get another one or two whole lamb shares from another farmer.
I have also reordered another case of tushonka canned mutton. So then I should be well prepared to get through the rest of the winter!
I prefer lamb and mutton to all other meats. Beef is OK, but it is much leaner than lamb or mutton making added fats necessary. Since I do not do well with dairy, figuring out a good fat to add to beef is tricky. I have had best luck with marrow fat, but it is very expensive and hard to find 100% grassfed. Bison/buffalo is even leaner still. Chicken and pork are too high in omega 6 fatty acids. And I am intolerant to eggs.
So lamb and mutton really work best for me, and actually end up being quite affordable at only $7 per pound (including shipping!). They also provide perfectly well rounded nutrition as well, and excellent satiety.
In other news, I have sent off DNA tests for ancestry.com to find out if I have any mutations that could cause food intolerances, etc., and a telomere test to see how my biological age is. I have previously done a genetic test to confirm I have familial hypercholesterolemia, which means I have extremely high LDL. However, this appears to not create any risks factors when following a ketogenic carnivore diet. I have had CT heart scan and multiple cardiovascular scans and got perfect scores, and assortment of other blood parameters are excellent.
In addition, that same genetic analysis also showed that I should not have lactose intolerance (although I do have a slight problem with casein shown in a different peptide test), and should not get alcohol flush. It is really fascinating what they are able to find with DNA now! I am looking forward to finding out more!
