    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.

    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.

    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
