Which benefits those around you too 🤣
I've heard of women who had suffered from painful iNsAnE cRaMpS every month report that the cramps subsided or became much less severe.

My weight is slightly up but I knew it would be this week because of my monthly cycle. I think the hormone balance from going carnivore has done amazing things for me. Im way more positive and I have energy all day even during my cycle week.

You can still post in this topic all you want. Remember that we advocate a meat-based diet in this community. It does not have to be meat only. We see those who are doing ketovore, keto, animal-based, and even a whole-foods paleo influenced version of a meat-based diet as our brothers and sisters too.
I, too, occasionally eat fruits and vegetables.

I am not carnivore anymore. It was beginning to interact with my meds oddly. Im still losing weight. I gained three pounds going off carnivore and lost two of those again this week. I don't know if Im still allowed to post in this thread.

I still have beef tallow with my tea in the mornings. I still incorporate a lot of what I learned from carnivore. It just can't be called carnivore or keto.

Congrats. End of the day is your health and happiness.
Probably a thousand routes to get there with getting there being the goal.

Yes, you can still post on this forum. I am not strictly carnivore, either. I am more 'meat centric'.

It was chewy but had a nice flavor to it. I put salt, pepper, and garlic powder on them.

194.8 lbs.
I've been walking an hour each day. It's really making a difference. Just focusing on getting to 190 rather than my actual target has helped me fight a lot of food temptations. There's a lot of stress going on right now but I'm not turning to food for comfort. Im very proud of that.

Chicken gizzards (my first time trying), fatback, an egg. Bulletproof coffee
Bacon.
Bulletproof tea.
Pepperoni slices and pork cracklings.

195.1lbs! Ill take that! Im staying focused!

My weight fluctuated up but is sitting at 196.0 today. Im staying focused. Im back in ketosis now and my appetite is much easier to deal with now that my meds have lowered.
I can even cook elaborate meals for my husband and roommate and stick to my carnivore eating. Its actually a peacefull happy feeling cooking a meal for others exclusively because your own desire for food is not distracting the cooking process.

My weight fluctuates as well. I'm the first one to say a person should not look at the scale every day to see those fluctuations, but I am also the first one to look at the scale every day.
Every third day or so I do a 'three day average' and consider that my weight. it sort of adjusts for the fluctuations.
When I was dropping weight really fast I could see my weight go up a pound but at the same time I had to cinch my belt up a notch. And then it would settle in on my 'new three day average;.
Good luck and congrats on your progresses.

It's good to have "mini-goals" even though you do have a long-term overarching goal. Set smaller goals that are more reasonably within reach. Accomplishing them will make you feel good, and will be a stepping-stone towards your long-term goal.
I did the same thing when I wanted to go from 232 to 175. Every 10 pounds was a mile marker. These days, my weight swings from 175 to 178 on any given day depending on how much I eat, drink, and move.

My husband and roommate are both off the diet and I do the cooking. What keeps me on track is breaking down my goal into smaller goals. My big goal is to get to 150 but I'm focused now on getting to 190. If I hit 190, Ill get my nails done at a salon. If I hit 180, I'll get a different reward, and so on till I hit my goal.

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

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

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

Crispy panko breaded wingettes and bulletproof coffee this morning.

You guessed it! Im southern! Hello from NC!

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

I ate 5 or 6 pork shops Friday night about 8PM and last night around 2AM I ate a handful of beef jerky. Technically, I broke it then but will not eat again until tomorrow night.
The first 24 hours was a dry fast and then water fasting til tomorrow.
It is totally weird, or maybe I am weird, but I get the fact I can lose a few pounds here and there when fasting. I also understand there is metabolic benefits to allowing the body, for no better words, to catch up and reset. But as of late the weight and the metabolic health are more like bonuses to fasting. I am fasting now for no more reason than how good I feel from 24 hours and beyond.
I'm no spring chicken at 56, a hard 56 at that with most of those years eating a dumpster diet and working was the only working out I was doing. This past weekend I ate Friday night and I dumped 5500kgs of re-process material. That consists of tipping over a 50 kilo drum (a little over 100 pounds), lifting the back and dumping the powder into a process tank. The plant was well over 100 degrees til the early morning when it dropped to the mid-90's. I didn't eat for 24 hours and repeated another 5500 kilos on Saturday night and did the same last night soon after 48 hours of fasting. On Saturday morning I stopped by the gym a lifted for just about an hour, leg day on top of that.
Here I am on Monday morning with a boat load of energy and don't feel like I am going to sleep much today. Sort of awake and ready to do stuff. Feels good but sort of sucks knowing I have to do 12 more hours tonight.
Babbling til bedtime but carnivore, fasting and resistance training has been a life changer for me, and at times I would even say a life saver. That might be a stretch but at times I sort of feel that way.

Lots of people eat outside the 'carnivore diet' when they first get started. It is more important to celebrate the fact you decided to eat this was again more so than focusing on the fact you ate outside the carnivore way of eating.
That actually can be a plan of easing into the way of eating long term.
As you recognize the rewards and the benefits hopefully that encourages you to make the 'carnivore' stretches last even longer.
The benefits come not as much from eating carnivore as it does from eliminating the non-carnivore items from the diet.

7 Jones sausages and 4 eggs scrambled. Extra tallow to get enough fat.
