hi major

Welcome to our little group.
Congratulations on coming over to carnivore. We are here to help and support you any way we can. My first bit of advice would be to not try to do too much at one time. Work on progress over perfection.

I just completed a 96 hour fast. I did a dry fast from Monday night to Wednesday night, drank some water with some salt, then continued to Friday night with 48 more hours of a water fast.
Energy levels stayed way up throughout the week. This is the first time fasting while working day shift. On Wednesday I did feel a little muscle fatigue/muscular endurance issues as I had to go from the first floor to the fourth floor and roof four or five time in an hour. I am sure being a little dehydrated played a part in that, having 56 birthdays probably contributed as well. I sat down to fill out some work orders and after that energy was solid the rest of the day.
Once I started rehydrating on Wednesday the Thursday and Friday energy levels were really high. The days were hectic and fast paced at work but the energy levels remained, maybe somewhere between really high and the steady energy I have gained from carnivore.
I am a little loose in the caboose after breaking the fast, again. But all in all, it went well.
My bloodwork is coming up in a couple of weeks and I am coupling that with the way I feel and have felt the last year with no NMO/SD day symptoms/issues. I am leaning toward no longer taking the infusions every six months. That is six to eight hours I can find something else to do and $3500-$3900 I can buy more meats. LOL
I credit my new found health to the carnivore lifestyle (I called it a carnivore diet for well over a year but I think now at 18-19 months it is a lifestyle now), fasting and working out. Just like anyone else, I might kick over graveyard dead at any time as nothing is promised, but these three things have me felling better than I have in 30+ years and in better health to boot.
For me it is a really good combination.

good luck Pops, keep learning and develop a walking habit if you haven't already.

good deal, keep going.

doesn't our liver replace glucose in our cells without eating carbs?? that's my understanding. As for myself and the few I've talked to we feel as strong if not stronger just eating fat

good deal, keep going.

good deal, keep going.

It will be interesting to see if any meaningful changes are made.

welcome

all aboard the carb train- destination unknown

nice, Im thinking of completely ditching coffee myself

I find the more foods, drinks and sweeteners I can live without, the more free I feel. But I still give in to a piece of fruit once in a while. I don't beat myself up, but I keep learning.

overdosed on pea protein

5.3 lbs of weight lose per month, sounds perfect to me. Calculate the amount of time it took to become morbidly obese, then calculate the amount of time it will take to loose that weight at 5.3 pounds per month. good job keep going!!

Now they want to remove his remaining toes. Trying to convince him its his diet and bad advice. Wish him and me luck. We finished a talk as he was heading out to buy a burrito.
