  1. Yes, I’m very familiar with Sally Norton. Electrolytes and hydration were part of my plan and routine from the get go. I did not to incorporate or “microdose” oxalate rich foods at the time of the rash. I tried to wait it out for a few weeks after it first appeared but it was unbearable. Adding carbs back into my diet cleared it entirely within 5 days. Maybe adding in very small portions of oxalate rich foods would have worked well… or maybe not at all. The only thing I’m certain of is the carbohydrates did and no rash has returned. The sugar diet continues to shed fat from my body with not negative sides. I will surely report anything negative that I experience here with everyone.
  2. I was keto-vore for 9 months. Strict and monitored glucose and ketones regularly via keto mojo finger sticks. Was in low - moderate states of ketosis for months on end. Foods were largely Dr. Berrys BBB&E. I knew what I was doing and things were going great, until they weren’t. I mentioned last night that I’m not certain that my energy tanking and the rash were a result of my ketovore diet. But I added in carbs after experiencing the itchiest rash of my life for after about 4 weeks. Three days after adding carbs the itching started to go away. After 5 days the rash was gone. Again, my symptoms came after 9 months. I’m moving away from the keto / carnivore lifestyle to experiment with a new weight loss strategy—sugar fasting. My WHY is simple… I have been chronically 40 pounds overweight for too many years. My opinion is that getting rid of the fat is the best thing that I can do for my body to improve overall health.
  3. Hi all, was recommended to join here after chatting in the live on last night's Youtube video. 1 year ago I began eating a keto-vore type diet. Initially lost about 15 pounds and then nothing. Plateaued for months. At 9 months in, I developed a very itchy rash all over my flanks and armpits. So itchy that I could barely sleep. My energy felt like I was running on motor oil instead of gasoline as well. I asked around the carnivore space for help and was told the same 3 things over and over again: 1. you're oxalate dumping, add more electrolytes to support. 2. Just keep going, it will pass. 3. You must be doing your diet wrong. I lasted another 3 weeks and had to bail on the diet. I wasn't sure if what I was experiencing was directly caused by the diet, but after adding carbs back in the itch began to go away after 3 days. And after 5 days the rash was gone. After this, my diet returned to the SAD diet and I gained about 10 pounds back. Today, I am 3.5 weeks into the sugar diet. I've lost 9 pounds and I feel good up to this point. Let me be clear... I don't think this is healthy when done for extended periods of time. There is no optimal human health when the diet excludes meat. Currently I weigh 226 lbs. Goal is 175.
