    1. How to quit coffee?
    2. Please, share your tips and tricks for how to be carnivore when you're poor. For the record I live in EU. Thank you!
    3. I've been doing Carnivore for almost a month (I love it). I air-fry my bacon, and it comes out lovely. After a few days, I noticed there was a decent amount of fat at the base of the air fryer. I guess this is pork fat - how can I use it? Cook with it? Or am I better off throwing it away? Thanks
