I have been lifting weights 4 times a week, treadmill (walk nowadays, used to run) 6-7 days a week for 40+ years. I have added restorative yoga once a week for a couple of years. I run three or four 5Ks a year since 1999. The 50-59 female age group is pretty small, so I usually come in first. Exercise has never made the slightest impact on my weight, I do it to stay healthy and mobile as I age.

Before this one of my favorite things to do is smother mash potatoes with any vegetable we were having at the time. Corn, peas, snap beans, really didn't matter. My wife said I looked like I was eating like a child. There was nothing like mash potatoes, with snaps beans smothered with gravy. I didn't think you could really eat much better.
Tonight, I ate my chicken, and my wife cooked some corn and some black beans. After we ate, the corn and the black beans were left over. I went to the frig for my water bottle and she had mixed the corn and the black beans together and I am not sure if it was the contrast in color, flashing back to how I would have eaten them in the past or maybe it was a simple craving. Not sure, but they really looked good.
I told my wife that is how I would have eaten them and she said, "You would have" but I'm done with it and the chickens will get the pan in the morning.
I was like "Damn chickens".
Maybe the trade-off is tomorrow's eggs. (always searching for the silver lining)

I've only been Carnivore 3 weeks and it's just finally started to become "normal". Currently I'm about 55% fat. If I go higher (right now) it's like brown water. Electrolytes and dialing in your personal fat tolerance seems to be key. It can take a long time. Remember, your body is busy healing years to decades of damage.

How long have you been Carnivore, what was your diet before, and are you getting enough fat? The transition period can have some weird side effects. 

Unflavored collagen? 

Hadn't thought of that! I'll post it in a few days. 😊

I'm not a big fan of eggs. To lesson the taste and boost my nutrition; I mix 2 scoops of unflavored collagen into two eggs and cook in either bacon fat, or a lot of butter. It gets really fluffy and kind of crunchy. 

Spot on!

Here is my $0.02, and it will be a struggle for it to be worth the entire $0.02, as I am still brand new.
I have read about people who are lifting/working out heavily and they simply can't eat enough protein each day (whole food) and they use the whey proteins and supplement along those lines.
I started at 306lbs and have lost 49. I'm pretty much eating once per day and have only ben actually hungry only twice since May. I did a couple 48 hour fasts with no problems. I am lifting as the fat comes off, I am hoping for some muscle mass to be there vs. looking like an empty trash bag whenever I plane out.
Although I am not there yet, I can see where I may need to go that route for the protein needed. Tonight, at work, I am eating now. I'm not at all hungry but I have a 12-hour shift in front of me and I plan to work out/walk in the morning. 
So, in May a nice size ribeye was not a challenge at all. Less than 3 months later, eating once a day, that same rib eye is more than feel like I want. (if that makes any sense at all). Last week I ate half the rib eye at night and put half in the refrigerator. I took it to the gym with me and instead of a post work out protein drink I ate the steak on the ride home. 
Eating a chunk of steak riding down the road made me look like a true carnivore or some sort of psychopath. Not sure which.
I'm not there yet but I can see where for me the use of protein drinks may be a real option.

Hmmm, let me check that out, thank you!

I just started taking a probiotic, again, after being off of it for a while, and it's already making a difference in my digestion in just 2 days. Don't know if that would help you.  The one I'm using is Solgar Advanced Bowel Support, 30 billion.  No additives, just the veggie cap. I also use 3 digestive enzymes:  Enzymedica Digest, Enzymedica Lypo Gold, and Codeage Beef Pancreas. I have much trouble with digestion, especially fat digestion, and all these help a lot!!
