Hi!  I'm Amber.  I have been on various low carb diets before with quite a bit of success, but in all of those successes, it was when I severely limited even veggies that I found myself feeling the best.  So, after gaining all and more back, I decided maybe adding all of those "safe carbs" back was a bad idea, and it was a gateway to definitely NOT safe carbs that I started craving!
 
My first week I had some decent headaches, but only one migraine day and I consider that an absolute success.  It has become obvious to me in the last couple years that sugar greatly exacerbates my migraines.
 
I am doing classic carnivore, so meats, dairy, and some spices, coffee, and tea.  I am going to try to slowly wean myself off of those extras.  I have cut many of the spices already.  I weightlift 3 times a week, full body.  I have been doing that for years off and on, so I am not adding any extra exercise.  I also hike with a backpack with my husband on some weekends.
 
I joined a forum because it seems that I do the best when I can actually read other peoples' trials and successes and interact with people doing the same thing, and I don't think the forums on My Fitness Pal go any further than keto.
 
Thanks for reading!

Thank you @Scott F. and @Orweller, I am already browsing through the forum topics!
 
@Slambo I had sort of an "ick" phase being headachy, tired, and sometimes nauseous last week, but now I seem to have moved past that.  I had a hungry day yesterday, but today is a meh, not hungry day.

@Slambo thanks!  Glad to see others that have just started.  Are you through the ick phase?  My husband has no problem with what I eat, but he did think my "pizza" omelet was a little weird tonight.  Eggs are what I am eating when I can't figure out what exactly I want and I have no ground beef thawed.
 
@Meathead Honestly, the 35 pounds is pretty amazing for 3 months, but that you have improved your neuropathy is insane!  I have several diabetics in my family and friend circle, T1 and T2, and neuropathy is a common topic, it can be excruciating for them.
 
Thanks @Geezy!

Yay! Happy to have you! I’m a noobie too and doing the same classic carni as you are.
The forum is great for accountability. and a sense of community is really important when doing a WOE like this, especially if no one in your circle is on the same page (my case🥲).
