That is my story, too.

Y’all are just great. Thanks for your input, but mainly, thanks for speaking this language! It really is like that, isn’t it? Like you’ve gone to a different country where you don’t eat what the natives eat? You don’t talk like they talk (when it comes to food, which is a lot of the time), don’t go where they go (to the pasta restaurants or fill-in-the-blank-SAD-restaurant). I live parenthetically to the rest of the world. Add to that that I’m a woman of faith, and boy, I live a very different life! BUT- it’s so, so good. No complaints. Like the company shirts say, “Life is good.”

I love it, Scott! I haven’t lost weight on carnivore at all, though I could stand to lose 20 lbs. No idea why it’s this way with me, but the other perks are there for sure: no more inflammation, no more out-of-control cravings, and yes, I’m saving a ton of money eating this way.

Thank you for your encouragement, everyone. I like the way you said this, Scott: “everyone becomes a physician, dietician, or nutritionist on the spot,” as they munch their toxic food. My aunt just, shall we say, covertly, called me out on eating so many eggs because they are “high cholesterol.” This after she got dx’d with onset Alzheimer’s. It’s heartbreaking and nerve wracking at the same time that they believe what they do. Thing is, I don’t go around correcting others on their food choices. I wonder why they’re so comfortable telling us carnivores what they think? I dunno. I don’t worry about their verbal clamor as much as I used to, but it always takes me some time to throw off their comments.

Thank you for your post. It affirms that what I’m doing is the absolutely right thing for me to do. I see the Keto people and the “dirty carnivore” people and think, “they’re so lucky!” And that makes my WOE seem like a negative thing, when in fact no, for me, it’s the very best thing I can do. And saying, “well, it’s an individual thing” is used as a cop out even though it’s also true! I often hear it said by those who want to continue to eat their SAD foods and go on their merry ways. I have to filter that comment, in my head,” and tell myself, “no, diet really IS an individual thing.” Even though that concept is abused, it’s still true.

Hello, I’m Cathy, 64, and the organs in my core are fused together with adhesions. There. Got that out of the way. That means that any carbs I eat (plant based foods) ferment in my gut and break down my immune system bc my organs don’t churn or burn like they’re supposed to. That means my diet is as hard core as Mikhaila’s. Cheating is devastatingly painful. Anybody else here eating just meat and eggs?
