  1. Thank you ๐Ÿ™ ok sounds like the transition may be about to kick in. Iโ€™ll keep going ๐Ÿคž
  2. Thank you, yes I suspect the first 3 weeks my diet didnโ€™t include sufficient fat. Hopefully now thatโ€™s being addressed energy levels will increase. Iโ€™ll do as you suggest and keep going for 90 days and review then. Many thanks ๐Ÿ™
  3. Iโ€™m 4 weeks into carni, Iโ€™m eating heaps of butter with my coffee and with every meal, sticking religiously to only eggs and meat, with a little cheese. I thought Iโ€™d got through the intense midday fatigue last week but itโ€™s back with a vengeance. I can literally fall asleep while talking to someone in the middle of the day! Itโ€™s awful! Iโ€™m worried that this might not be normal? Thank you for your help ๐Ÿ™
  4. Thank you so much for all this info, itโ€™s incredibly helpful. Iโ€™ve now reduced my overall protein and increased fat big time. I make my own meatballs with beef mince, cheddar cheese, bacon and egg ๐Ÿ‘
  5. Thank you, Iโ€™ve started adding butter to my coffeeโ€ฆ itโ€™s absolutely delicious! Great idea, thanks ๐Ÿ™
  6. Thank you, yes my rash is getting better, and my stomach is feeling soooo much better, with no acid reflux. Iโ€™ve increased my fat intake and am loving it!
  7. Hi all ๐Ÿ˜€ thank you so much for your replies. I feel much more informed now. I went into this without doing the research I should have done ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ I decided to try carni because Iโ€™d heard it was good to get rid of inflammation. I had my gall bladder out nearly 40 years ago, and since then Iโ€™ve had no end of gastro problems. Iโ€™ve been on medication for years because of it, but the drugs are not working as well anymore and I started to take loads of Gaviscon. An endoscopy 4 weeks ago revealed gastritis, which explained all the discomfort. I started carni just over 3 weeks ago, jumped into it overnight from a normal English diet (Iโ€™m in the UK) and amazingly my gastritis symptoms have all but disappeared. Its incredible! feeling very encouraged to keep on going now, but Iโ€™ll work on getting the fat/protein balance right! thank you so much ๐Ÿ™
  8. Three weeks in and Iโ€™ve just noticed an itchy red rash on my neck. Having done some digging this evening, think I may be having too much protein and not enough fat. id be very grateful for advice on how to make sure Iโ€™m getting sufficient fat, but not overdose on protein. I read that a woman should only eat 50g max protein per day, but Iโ€™ve been eating much much more than this, and now Iโ€™m panicking, as too much protein can be fatal! I weigh 64kgs, 60 years old and fairly fit. I eat four eggs and bacon for breakfast, often meatballs and a cold chopped up steak for lunch, then another steak for dinner. I think I know the answer to the question Am I eating too much protein, but I donโ€™t know how to eat enough to feel full, but cutting down on the meat. Any advice from experienced carpiโ€™s will be very much appreciated, thank you ๐Ÿ™
