Carnivore diet seems crazy, but…
Carnivore isn’t for everyone even though I believe it’s the best human diet but some can’t handle it and that’s fine. You are doing what’s best for you and you are doing it exactly right. I often tell people that they don’t have to be as strict as I am. This is just my choice and what works best for me. I tell them that if they would just eliminate the sugars, seed oils, grains and below ground vegetables and just eat animal fats, animal protein, whole organic above ground vegetables m, salt and water they’d be miles ahead of most of the people in this world when it comes to health. Im glad you are doing so well. You may decide one day to go all the way and that’s great or maybe just reduce down to ketovore. As far as the cholesterol thing is concerned it’s nothing to worry about. Most of us have high cholesterol from eating carnivore. It’s because we are not using any glucose for fuel. Instead we are only using fat for fuel so it only stands to reason that there will be more fat running around our bloodstream to deliver that energy so we can function. It’s getting used up. There is no studies that have ever shown that high cholesterol causes any cardiovascular disease. In fact, every time they’ve tried to do a study to prove that it does the findings end up showing that those with the higher cholesterol live longer than those with lower cholesterol. Keep up the good work.- 1

Hypoglycemia
I’m not sure about the hypoglycemia but it’s not uncommon for people early on to experience something like this because the body has been used to getting all of its energy from glucose from carbs. Now that it can no longer use carbs it has to switch over to utilizing ketones from fat for energy. It can take a little while for the body to convert over and in the meantime your body is running on empty. If it’s really bad or a concern you could introduce a few carbs back in to her diet in the form of whole above ground vegetables and see if that helps and then slowly ween her off of those so it’s not such a drastic change to her system. -

Hypoglycemia
Hi. My adult daughter, her children and I have been going strict carnivore. We noticed my daughter getting very weak and shaky at times, in spite of getting plenty of calories from high quality meat and fat. She is not diabetic but I checked her blood sugar during these times and it was quite low - this morning it was 56. When she eats it goes back up, but she seems to need to eat many times a day. Has anyone heard of people curing hypoglycemia on carnivore diet? Any thoughts?- 1
