I was desperate for Chinese food and donuts. I settled for my son's leftover fish sticks. It was a pretty bad craving that hit.

I logged my breakfast into an app called more. It was taking up over 2/3 of a day's worth of calories. I love intuitively eating on carnivore but It should be easy to eat smaller portions per meal now that my appetite has gone down.

Just did a 24 hour fast. I was hungry towards the end but hunger no longer feels like an emergency.

I feel amazing. I think less negatively. I sleep better. My skin is shiny. I attack my workouts and have a desire to push myself. Im full of hope. I don't want to go off carnivore ever.

Crispy panko breaded wingettes and bulletproof coffee this morning.

When I made this thread I was very discouraged because my weight had jumped up three pounds seemingly out of nowhere. I believe I had gained water weight temporarily due to working out harder. Now those three pounds are gone. I measured at 197.8 today. Getting back up to 200 was not fun but I knew I was doing all the right things. Im glad I continued.

NC weather is tricky. I grew up in Wilmingon. In Greensboro now.

You guessed it! Im southern! Hello from NC!

It is the oddest thing now but I am indifferent to food most hours of the day at this point.

I'd like to do 24 hours. There's something about carnivore that makes fasting feel natural.

It's encouraging to hear how weight plateaus are normal. Even long ones are normal. Thats good to know.

I'm 5'8, 31, and have been trying to lose weight for over four years. Within those four years there have been two pregnancies. My husband lost over 70 lbs on carnivore. I lost 30 but didn't experience full ketosis due to the psyche meds I was on at the time. Now that the dose is lower, I finally have experienced ketosis and feel amazing. I have had to be very patient. My goal weight is 150 and Im currently at 200lbs. So far this time starting May 1st, my weight is fluctuating a lot as I increase exercise and my appetite is going down. Im trying to no longer weigh every day but I allow two weigh ins a week now. This thread is just to encourage myself and maybe others that all good things take time and for me its taking a long time but thats okay. I consider my diet high fat carnivore. The more fat, the better I feel. Ill also use this thread to record my progress.

This topic is interesting to me. My husband and I were learning about the benefits of fasting and he went on a three day fast. Was it difficult to fast in the beginning?

My appetite was very low so no breakfast. For lunch I'm eating a burger patty, chicken livers, and some fatback. Yum!

We would like to stay carnivore or keto as a permanent lifestyle this time.

On May 1st, my husband and I went on carnivore for the 4th time. He had previously lost over 70 lbs. I lost about 30 lbs. But this time around has been different because my psyche meds were lower. I am now experiencing more of the full benefits of the diet. Smooth glowy skin Weight loss Energy all day Mental focus Confidence Desire to exercise each day Hair growth What works for me is high fat. It's like I can't get enough. I eat a lot of pork belly, fatback, and add beef tallow to tea and coffee. We still use seasoning but we keep any keto treats to a minimum.
