Y’all have been great about sharing your stories and encouragement. I appreciate every word.
I had surgery and have been MIA for a time but have still been thinking about this group, about all of us facing hopeful futures where we’re not bogged down by SAD diseases. Yesterday at the hospital, my very large male nurse, shared that he “just needed to get this weight off,” so I told him “just go carnivore. You’ll love it.” He of course worried about fiber, all the things, and I assured him that I hadn’t had fiber for years but my system and bloodwork were all textbook perfect (I had surgery due to adhesions, not disease or illness). Anyway, I thought of how few and far between are the people who genuinely listen to what we have to say.
Also, I wanted to say that when I first put up my post, I was eating beef and eggs. Now it’s just beef. Meat. I had a reaction to eggs a few days ago, and boy did it break my heart. I believe Mickhalia said the same thing. I keep seeing parallels w her story and think, “golly pete, am I really there? Is it really that bad?” And yeah, my case is that severe. I’m glad to be here among friends.

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?

I get that for sure. My cardiologists kept me going until this carnivore life could take over and reverse everything.
It’s just a crying shame that more people haven’t learned the truths that we have.
All we can do is be a good example and be ready with an answer when asked.

I feel my best when I do several days in a row of Beef, Salt and water. I should eat that way, everyday. I'm not even sure why I don't 😄

That is my story, too.

That is my story, too.

That is my story, too.

Great story. Congrats on the victory.
Big picture for me, it is just crazy to me at times how with all the advances in modern medicine we find the answer in a ribeye.

Hi Cathy,
I'm a dirty carnivore. I haven't had any major health problems, but now understand where all those tummy aches were coming from. I occasionally eat some broccoli, pickles and nuts. Lately I have been try to stick to meat and eggs as I went on a several month SAD bender over the winter.
When people question my food choices I try to say something like, I have learned that I don't feel well when I eat XYZ. Kinda hard to continue to pressure someone to eat something that makes them unwell.
My why is to thrive mentally and physically till I die. I have seen too many older women just breathing and eating, but not actually living for decades before they die. I'd love to avoid that.

I love it, Scott!
