Not much really. Some dumbbell workouts 2 or 3 times a week with a few body exercises and a long walk occasionally. I used to walk every other day but I’m just too busy these days building up my farm. That’s the main part of my exercise these days, just working on the farm all day. This cold weather has given me a little bit of a break lately.

Yep,especially after finding out about benefits in your own health... I for one don't want to get back to carb-o-land.
20+ years ago I was just curious. And I enjoyed the ketosis feel. Now it's about health too. Stent and heart failure and afib to name a few.
I rarely need spray nitro any more. My gout is gone, I'm off allopurinol for half a year and eat anchovies, chicken wings, mushrooms,nothing triggers gout any more.
I've been off statins for a year. Lost 28 kilos, normal bmi now. I can squat and get up again... just so much healthier all in all.
Christmas hi carb diet week experiment did not matter. I'm back on track.

Here is one more:
Many think of "diets" as some kind of magic temporary quick fixes, often for weight loss.
They have read "I lost 100 pounds in three weeks!" -interviews and get frustrated quickly because that did not happen.
Patience is a rare virtue in Today's World.

How many of those who claim they quit carnivore list all the other diets they also quit? When it is approached like a "fad diet", that is how long it will last for many - just like any other fad they tried ... be that diet, clothing, jewelry, etc.
The same could be claimed by those who tried vegetarian, vegan, high carb, low carb and/or any other diet they tried and then quit. Many only mention the latest one they tried when they post about quitting.

I think carnivore (going in) is just like any other diet, there is nothing really sustainable about it. (and allow me to finish)
I think everyone who switches to carnivore starts off on a carnivore diet and like most all diets, people choose another route. it is the diets that are not sustainable.
It takes time for carnivore to become a lifestyle and leave the 'temporary-ness' of just about all diets.
For me personally I have been strict carnivore for about 19 months. I have not had a fruit nor vegetable nor bread nor pasta since May '24. With that said it was nearly a year later when I felt like being on the carnivore diet had morphed into me having a carnivore lifestyle/carnivore way of eating. And maybe my story is a little odd because I didn't start with any health concerns in mind as for me it was nothing more than a weight loss hack. I stumbled upon a ton of benefits early on, chalked them up to coincidence, and then once I was reading the writing on the wall I started to evolve from diet to lifestyle.
People quit for all kinds of reasons. If I had not stumbled upon the benefits with my autoimmune disease, knowing it was going to be a weight loss hack, I probably would have quit after losing 40-50 pounds (and called it a successful endeavor). If I knew which carb/vegetable/fruit was my trigger I would probably venture back out into the carb world on occasion. But since I don't know it is not a gamble I feel comfortable with so that too helped me transition from carnivore diet to carnivore lifestyle.
I think it could be any number of reasons, but I mostly think those reasons land on the individual person rather than the way of eating itself.

I go to youtube.com, I put carnivore diet in the search bar a n d set the filter for the l ast c 24 hours. As I scroll down every other thing I s a advertisement for something carnivore, they want me to buy whatever. Always 3 to 5 videos on why carnivore is so bad on that channel's science. And a few dozen carnivore topics rounds it out. O often amazed how I w sure the critics are that the "science " says my heart attack or stroke WILL happen soon. Just never ends.
You think I would know better, ,, ,,, lol

Welcome Mary.
I’ve been seeing many of those click bait posts on Utube here lately but it’s just that…click bait. Many people don’t really understand carnivore. Carnivore is not a true zero carb diet. There is no such thing as even eating all fat and protein you will still get some carbs. Even if you intentionally eat a few carby items now and then it doesn’t mean you aren’t carnivore. Even the lion and the wolf will eat grass occasionally.
Carnivore is about providing your body with the optimal food to get the optimal nutrition that it runs best on and that’s animal fats and proteins. If one is eating a diet that consists primarily of those two items I think they could still be considered carnivore. Some purists might disagree and that’s their prerogative to do so but that wouldn’t make them right, only dogmatic.

May you have a brilliant Christmas time.
Christ is King.

I had to have one of the kids at work show e how to do it. 🫣

A week of Zero Carb and No fast acting insulin. Look at me PCP,,

Speaking of deer…

Thats the best way to do a fast in my opinion. Just let it come naturally.

I my world lately, Dr. Tony Hampton is in 1st place. H e sees pat I ents, is well connected, in context he is very good.
Most of his videos are info packed, short, and his context is great.
Coupled with Westman and Bart Kay if u need science hard to find better. Just my honest thinking.

The good doctor is just flat wrong on this one. Eating dairy does not mean you aren’t carnivore. Anyone who thinks that doesn’t understand carnivore and knows little to nothing about the animal kingdom.

We are responsible for our own health.
I have no other goals in the coming new year but to serve my Lord as best I can.

Congratulations on your journey with our Lord Jamie. May you grow in faith and love, discovering the depth of God's grace and the joy of His presence in your life. May you be guided by the Holy Spirit as you embark on this new journey of faith.

The fat thing could be a part of it but I think I still could lose some visceral fat. I fee like I am eating enough fat but I have pushed the proteins as of late and could have the proteins to fat a tad off. Maybe?
The energy could be from any of the things I listed and maybe a combination of any of those same things.
I use to have, let's say, some really offensive gas. After a couple three months on carnivore it went away for the most part and when I did it was not near as "offensive". I must have had something laying around in my stomach because when it started, it started. It had been a while since I could clear a room.
I am sure there are worse issues to deal with other than venting off here and there.

It is just my wife and I, and it is savings for us.
If we have steaks, she eats a steak with whatever else she cooks. If she wants hamburgers then we eat from the same pack. There are times when she eats something that does not really flip my boat and we eat different things.
That particular meal probably goes up and tad but end of the month we are still saving money with me being a carnivore.
Plus, factor in there are three-four-five days a months I don't eat at all. LOL

I ate some Aldi clotted cream:
It was absolutely delicious.

As individuals with different physiology’s we are all our own N of 1.
Looking forward to hearing how yours turns out.
