hey gang - still battling the loose watery stool - in my ignorance i am wondering if that can be a sign/sympyon connected to electrolyes ?? If i am drinking too much LMNT or maybe not enough ??

Good Morning My Carnivore Fam !!!! Watching my success has motivated my wife to join me on the Carnivore Life, Thank You LORD !!! She has now been Carnivore with me for little over 4 weeks, now let me set the table for you to assist you with your thoughts before commenting back. She/we are NOT STRICT carnivore, we have zero plant matter in our diet but we do have some Dairy. Example for her dairy is she places a slice of cheese on top of her eggs each morning and will add milk to her black coffee. We will also occasionally havre a yogurt with no sugars or fruit in it. Of course no breads or any other typical carbs - IMO our only divergence on the Carnivore regimen is the dairy . We drink loads of water and typically 1 of the no sugar LMNT drinks each day. I have lost 21 #'s in 5 weeks but she has lost 7 #'s in 4 weeks. I am trying to help her to keep her encouraged and motivated to remain on plan. I thought (she refused) maybe do a 1 day water only fast to kick start her weight loss. She is in a very sedentary work life with nearly zero physical activity. That said one of the appealing things to her was that she could lose the weight without having to workout and stuff like that. I am prior military and am not working out but I am neturally more physically active and have told her that is why i am probably losing more than her. The challenge to that thought process is that my step-mother saw my progress at week 2 and immediately jumped on board and has lost 15#'s in 3.5weeks and she is most certainly NOT physically active. HA HA Of course every social media post out there is someone screaming about how much and how fast they lost weight on either Keto or Carnivore so she feels like it is just not gonna work for her. Any thoughts or experience y'all can share will be very helpful THANK YOU ALL !!! I have another question regarding Electrolytes but will dig into the archives more of the prior post out on the board before i post the question, it is likely already been asked. deercamp67

Thank You Scott for sharing your experience and thoughts. What is the fasting deal - I mean i know what it means to FAST but you mentioned a 5 day fast - why so incredibly long - is that something specific to Carnivore or just something you do for other reasons THANKS deercamp67

Good Morning Carnivore Peeps - today i substituted 2 thick slices of Salt Pork for the typical thick sliced bacon i have with 3 eggs each morning - it occurred to me that my efforts to have enough salt in my diet naturally to help me get and keep my electrolytes in balance could be greatly enhanced by using salt pork instead of plain bacon or sausages - With that shared, has anyone else used salt pork in their carnivore journey ? How did that work for you ? What have you done in your food intake to increase and keep electrolytes in the appropriate ranges? THANKS Y'ALL

Good Morning Carnivores, I just setup my account with your forum in order to find folks that i can ask questions and look for guidance from people other than social media influencers whom frankly i can't seem to trut that they may be just doing what they need in order to get clicks and money. I started on Aug 8, 2025 with the goal to lose 50#, get off all my Big Pharma Rx, and feel better each day. Within a week i had lost 6#'s and all my bodyaches and stiffness was gone. I am just over 2 weeks in now and down 14# and feeling wonderful, but recently started having diarrhea. I will search the forum and see what all i can learn before i start throwing questions at the group - i am sure that i am experiencing things that everyone else has already goen through. THANK YOU everyone for this group! Deeramp67
