Alexandra reacted to Geezy in New here - will cravings ever stop?Scott you have reached what I would call nirvana of carnivore. The things that you used to love no longer appeal to you. That’s called freedom.

Alexandra reacted to Bob in New here - will cravings ever stop?So for reference, back at the beginning, any small amount of carbs in the form of sugar (milk, processed food, fruit) would make me crave more. I didn't have this problem with keto-friendly vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. I started with keto and then transitioned into carnivore in May 2023. In October, my wife baked pumpkin bread and wanted me to just "taste" it to see what I thought (it was my mom's recipe). She knew I wouldn't have a whole slice, but I agreed to just one bite. I hadn't had sugar or grain in 5 months.
After taking a bite, something came over me that I never felt before. I can only imagine it is the same feeling that a crack/heroin addict feels, because all of a sudden I was STARVING, CRAVING, and JONESING for MORE. I did not give in, but I went downstairs and at a bunch of meat and cheese trying to calm the appetite. It was unreal, surreal feeling. It was addiction. I still had it even being 5 months off the carbs.
Today, I am over the addiction. I don't have this reaction anymore whenever I have just a "taste" of something.
So the moral of the story is, yes, it takes time. But in time, you will conquer and rise above those cravings from your former life.

Alexandra got a reaction from Bob in New here - will cravings ever stop?Hi
I am new here and seeking support. I am not a native speaker so pls apologise for any mistake. I am a 43 yr old female from Europe and trying to improve my mental health.
I went keto about six weeks ago. I eat almost carnivore. I went completey carnivore about a week ago - not even dairy or veggies. I am having some coffee though.
I still experience these massive cravings. I can have as much fat as I want, it won‘t stop. I also take electrolytes and drink enough water.
My work day is quite stressful - not sure if it has to do with that.
Will it ever stop? I mean, I can cope with it for some time, but I can‘t live like that forever. It is pure torture.
Does anyone have had a similar experience?
for Information: I am at a normal weight - not losing or gaining.
cheers,
Alex
