Welcome, Colene. I am also trying to heal leaky gut, and skin issues. I try to remember, that it took a long time, and many years of eating the wrong foods to cause the damage, and that healing won't happen overnight. I haven't been back on the diet that long, and am already seeing major improvements. I think the fibers in plant foods were causing the most issues for me. Now I am eating just beef for meat (80/20 ground beef, chuck cuts, beef ribs), some cheese, and whole milk plain Greek yogurt with a bit of raw green stevia. The fat is important, and helps with energy levels. Glad you are giving it another try. I don't think I can ever go back to a regular diet, knowing the effects of those foods, the toxins they carry, and the damage they caused. I listen to many Carnivore videos to help me stay focused. There are so many good people in this space, and in this community, as well!
