Desertprep got a reaction from Bob in The problem with pork rindsHow about a diy solution? https://healthyrecipesblogs.com/homemade-pork-rinds/ Not endorsing/recommending this site - never tried their recipe - but it looks very simple. There are several others you can look at.

Desertprep reacted to Scott F. in Managing the electrolytes?LMNT is a good choice. I didn't like the taste but I know several that do. There is some stuff out there about some extra sugars but I think the amounts are small, but they were sort of misleading.
I basically went to youtube and watched a video for making my own electrolyte drink at home. A really good drink can be made for pennies a days vs. dollars on the pre-made packets/drink mixers.
After time I am mostly using the electrolyte mix I made as my 'table salt' and then drink plain water.
Congrats on starting the carnivore diet and welcome to the forum.
For some it can be a tough go when getting started but it is well worth the efforts.

Desertprep reacted to Skeptic in Managing the electrolytes?Welcome to the forum!
I like to stay well away from most things that are mass marketed, so I make my own electrolyte solution at home. I start from either really clean well/spring water, or if you have municipal water use filtered or bottled spring water instead to avoid all the garbage that exists in regular tap water.
For my recipe, in about a gallon of good water, I mix 1/2 tsp of Magnesium Sulfate, 1 tsp of Potassium Chloride, and 1 tsp of fine sea salt (the fine stuff mixes easier)
I buy the sea salt locally, and the magnesium and potassium online. Make sure they are "food grade"
Carnivore has saved my life, and although it can be difficult to start, I will also agree that it is very much worth it! Good electrolyte water helps a LOT!

I would choose a cup of coffee over that.

The only supplement that will help is butter or beef fat.
I don’t like pork or chicken unless I drown it in butter. There just isn’t enough of the right fats in them to satiate me.
If you are experiencing cravings after eating that much meat then you definitely need to be eating more fat at your meal.
Salt can also help but fat is better.
That growling isn’t your stomach. It’s fluids moving through your intestines.
You are highly addicted to carbs and there’s no easy easy way of doing this if you don’t have the right mindset. You have to be determined to win at all costs. Failure is not an option. When you have that kind of mindset it’s much easier to ignore the cravings. For the average person they only last 2 to 4 weeks.
Hang in there. Eat plenty of fat and get tough.

Eat more pork chops, or preferably something a bit fattier. Your pork chops are probably very lean. I know when I eat lean meats, like chicken breast, i don't feel satiated for very long.
Essentially you want to eat fatty red meat or fatty fish. Don't drain the fat. Don't be afraid of fat. Indulge in the fat, lol. Eat until you are comfortably stuffed.

First response is spot on. For most, they fade in time. Not as frequent and not as intense.
Becoming fat adaptive is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
And most pork doesn't carry enough fat ( I pick the cheaper/fattier cuts for the fat content alone, plus, I'm cheap)
It takes some time to adjust and every person does so at different rates. I am not a fan of the word but it has ended up the best way to describe but you are in the first of detox from sugars and carbs. It will get better with time.

Those are carb withdrawals, and the fact you are not fat adapted, being it, you're only a day in, a release of ghrelin hormone is sending you a message that your usual carb intake was not there. Obviously, when you know you just ate, you are not starving.
In addition, you need more fuel in fat with pork chops. Add some butter and you'll see those pangs will decrease. It will take from 2 to 4 weeks. After over a year I still sometimes get that pang, because I have always finished a meal with a desert, or something sweet.
Fat is fuel now. Good luck.
