That means you are doing a good job. Yes, you can become too skinny, but what we have to consider is body composition. You still want to see muscle tissue, definition. And yes, Americans have gotten so overweight, the social norm has changed on what we deem healthy. Any person who lost tons of weight will look thinner, because of skin, and because they are used to seeing you fuller, if that makes sense. I am 5'8 and 139.5, from 148 since I started. I had no weight loss goals. But still around my waist it jumped off and I feel light and energetic. So long as you feel energetic and light, you are not too thin. Again I stress, physical exercise is so important on this diet. We put all those nutrients in our bodies we need to put them to work. Americans always have called me skinny. I never got it. I have muscle definition, low body fat, even got abs now! I see myself as being fit. and I always correct a person, I say: no I am fit, not skinny. In fact I've got less skin than you! Just keep on doing your thing!

Yes, anything above ground will be overall safer to eat. What I do is, small amounts, approach any carb with care. Then you can still add some veggies in. For example, I ate carrots, but only 1 ounce. This is with regard to carbs, but also insulin response.

Looks delicious!

I think "calorie count" should be at least 1800 to be honest.

Yes you are welcome here! If they can deal with me, they can deal with anyone! You're going to have an adaptation phase. Supplements are key in this period. I take Vitamin K, Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fish Oil. Also, bone density issue, see what calcium needs you have, in food or supplements. This will require some research as we are all different.

Hey there, fellow Dutch person here. I've been living in the US for about 23 years now. Good luck on your journey. Niet opgeven hoor! Veel vragen stellen! Have you had bloodwork done?

Carbs, what are those? lol

I have the same predicament. Probably herbs, and some keto friendly vegetables.

IMO opinion, it's the scale, the mirror, and how you feel. A combination of those. You wanna see muscle definition. The waist line is one of the most important markers for health. It had me close to my "Ideal weight", but I have a problem with the term "body-type". Let's say you are a long distant runner, you are going to have lean muscle tissue, or if you are a power lifter, you are going to have the fast twitch muscle tissue, and circumference on limbs is going to be different. So it's also what you do, your activity level, and what type of activity level. Though I believe being on the carnivore diet, exercise like lifting is quite important.

After the first week, the carbs stop calling all together. It was a strange realization for me. You get a different type of hunger, less emotional, less urgent. Good luck. Ask a lot of questions.

That sounds already a lot less serious now.

Try to remember if those bruises had any cause. Also the location of those bruises are important. Obviously on the knee or elbow, most likely we bumped into something. But on the trunk, or face, where you'd remember hitting something, that is when you wanna visit a doctor.

We are of the same age my friend, and I am equally scared lol

I am eating too basic to post it among these incredible creations lol. Meat salt and pepper, egg salt and pepper, done.

Hell yeah on the goat dairy, even better I say!

Welcome to the club.

I'd eat it.

Still after all these years, I have to translate to Celsius to see how freaking cold that is! Ohio has multiple personalities. Snow already gone but my roof is about to come off due to high winds.

I use pasteurized dairy. In small amounts. In fact I prefer it. I see no problem with it. I use heavy whipping cream for my coffee and cheese when I need a quick snack or some extra fat. Pasteurized. The carnivore police hasn't arrested me yet lol. I know it can be a controversial topic, but I just don't feel like chasing perfection, in such manner, that it will make me lose the plot. We eat carnivore to be healthier. Milk, or cream, or cheese in small amounts should be no problem.

4 seasons in 1 day in Ohio. Crazy.

Lunch meat you put on a piece of wood, and eating it with pinky up, laughing at the peasants toiling in their fields.

I think it's the combination of fat with sugar, that causes problems on a metabolic level. So fat can play a role, in combination of a high sugar diet. It makes sense.

That's what they told me! Never came back after all these years! 😜

I just had andouille sausage for the first time. Packaged of course. I am still quite unsure about some of the sausage and their ingredients.

That's because I grew up by the North Sea. Fish markets galore. I make do with the resources I have. 40 days into carnivore and still going strong. Salmon from the store but I make sure it is Alaskan.
