JDM got a reaction from Meathead in Hello from Houston!Greetings!
I am new to this forum. I have been following a clean KETO program for about 3 years. I am most proud of the fact that I have not had any sugar in any form for 3 years. No fruit or any other form of "natural" or refined sugar.
In the past couple of weeks, I have begun to follow more of a "Ketovore" WOE with minimal carbohydrates; usually less than 15 grams which primarily come from supplements I take and none of which have a strong glycemic impact.
The most difficult parts so far of making this transition has been 1) allowing a higher percent of the macronutrient protein (usually 30% instead of 20%) and 2) not having nuts such as pecans, Brazil and macadamia nuts.
I would appreciate any perspectives or experience based suggestions from others who have emphasized more carnivore choices in their ketogenic way of eating.

JDM reacted to Scott F. in Hello from Houston!Welcome to the forum.
I'm strict carnivore and have not had carbs nor sugars from food in 13 months. No real help to you there.
There are few that post here that are animal based with some fruits and vegetables here and there. Hopefully they will be able to offer their insight.
The only advice I can give on the meat is that as you change protein content make sure the fat content tracts up with it. A big part of this way of eating working for people is for it to be high fat/moderate proteins. The few stretches I have actually counted I found that in an attempt to hit protein amounts I neglected the fat I needed. I gained weight.
Good luck, and again, welcome.
Scott
