Thanks for the welcome, all! I haven't had much of a chance to browse, but I plan to soak up some great info and get to know you all. I've been spending a few days discovering how amazing air fryers are! Cheers! Raising a cup of bone broth!

Ex-chocoholic reporting for duty! I'm new here and looking for a community, support, and help. I did Atkins very successfully about 20 years ago, but at that time it was all about the Atkins bars, the shakes, all the sugar-free syrups to put in your soda water, bottled salad dressing...you all know the drill. I lost 43 pounds on that diet. But I got bored, and my cravings only got worse over time (which I now know was due to all that crappy sweet stuff). When I fell off the wagon, I fell hard. My downfall was a Whopper with large fries. I can still remember how good those fries tasted! Now, years later, I am a Type-2 diabetic, I have had a heart bypass, all but one of my arteries has been finally cleaned out, and the last one is getting scheduled. I feel surprisingly amazing after all that, but have been slowly going back to being fatigued all the time, weak, not able to walk more than a block, and a whole bunch of other problems. So to make a long story short, I started my carnivore journey by following Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, Kelly Hogan, and a bunch of others, and decided to give carnivore 90 days. I do love a good steak! I started on May 9th. At that time I weighed 189 pounds. A week ago, I weighed 178 pounds. That's a great start to my journey, but I'm having a lot of problems that I will address in another post in the appropriate forum. Unfortunately I get no support, with some family members making fun of me, so I'm just glad to be here with like-minded people. And I don't share my rib-eyes with them!
