LupineMama got a reaction from Bob in Need advice- 3 months on carnivore while breastfeedingI had a couple family Christmas dinners where there wasn't many carnivore options and I hadn't planned ahead so I had potatoes, spring rolls with some meat and meat pie with crust. This was the 25th, 27th and Jan 1 dinners. I immediately went back to eating carnivore after every "cheat" meals. I felt symptoms like bloating and gas but after eating meat the next day I felt my body had readapted quickly.
That could be, I will have to give it a couple weeks and check again. I was hoping I would be pregnant that way it's a simple answer to all my concerns. I am looking forward to a carnivore pregnancy. Wondering how it will be different than my high carb SAD pregnancies.
I will pay more attention to my fat consumption, sometimes I don't think of fat when I think of cheese and dairy products so maybe I had more dairy on those days but didn't notice. Maybe cutting out dairy again could help me overall.
I want to give it a fair shot to really heal and feel better. I had a goal to make it to 3 months without "cheating" as much as I can and then reassess if I want to reintroduce foods. I realize I don't really, most of the cravings have passed and I don't feel great if I eat other foods. But it can feel boring sometimes so the idea of having more options is appealing. I just have to push through on those hard days.
Thank your for your reply. I appreciate your advice. It feels great to be able to share here openly. I realize I have to really tune into my body and listen.

Yes I am thrilled my baby boy is doing so well. I intend to raise him carnivore to give him a great start. My other son is almost two and I am slowly transitioning him to carnivore. He loves meat, eggs and especially liver pate but still wants to eat his favorite foods like grapes and bread, so I just limit those. When he was starting to eat around 8 months he would get constipated and had such a hard time passing stools. It was awful watching him cry and struggle. I didn't know better back then and thought he needed more fiber. Now it all makes sense!!!! Real nutrient dense food and fat, So simple but there I was stressing making sure he's eating a variety of foods. Such a revelation for me, thought I would share. 🙂
My stools had regulated and seemed like the perfect carnivore poops lol, condensed, not loose, easy to pass, every couple days. So the diarrhea really threw me off. Maybe I ate too much fat without realizing it. When I think of fat I first think of grease and butter, I don't think of milk and cheese as high fat. Maybe I've been eating more cheese of milk than usual and didn't notice. I will have to track more closely. Maybe cutting out dairy again could help.
I will push through these hard times and listen to my body to adjust what it needs. I find it difficult to pinpoint the food triggers. Do you eat the same thing everyday or eat lots of variety?
