Good luck. Chasing issues sometimes is worse than the issues themselves. LOL Scott

Thanks @Scott F. . I was basically gritting my teeth - strange feeling. It did seem to pass some after the mag but who knows? Tonight taking more mag with my electrolyte powders.

I am not sure I have had any of the 'brain improvements' people mention with carnivore. I am sure I have but just not recognized them. Maybe the closest to mental clarity is that when I wake up, I wake up. And unfortunately, there is no going back to sleep. If I wake up at 1AM or 2AM that is pretty much where my day starts. The ability to wake up and go is great but coupled with having the irregular sleep patterns of a life-long rotating swing shift worker....carnivore can have some drawbacks. If I were to point to carnivore I would go not enough and not eating enough fat. But most of us have enough fat to supply the brain in the 'leanest' of times. Good luck. Hopefully you can narrow it down. Scott

Maybe, maybe not. I don't think it is a bad idea to add some of the electrolytes back, especially if you are sweating and exerting energy. Keeping hydration and electrolytes correct is as essential as it gets. I get the 'ansy', maybe could be described as 'jittery', feelings when my sugar drops into the 80's. If stays in the 80's/90's during the day I don't have any issues, but if gets to the 80's, especially in the mornings, I have a feeling similar to what you describe. Stay on top of it and maybe it is nothing more than some healing and some adjusting. Scott

Welcome to our community. Congratulations on the improvements you’ve encountered so far. It’s hard to say why you might be experiencing some short term memory issues. Age, diet, sleep patterns? It could be several different things. Diet wise it could be you aren’t getting enough fat. Fat fuels the brain. You may not be eating enough and not meeting your nutritional requirements. Could dairy be the issue? Maybe cut the dairy for a month or two and see what happens. Maybe low on electrolytes. You haven’t mentioned your age. I’m 69 and my short term memory is not good. I don’t think it’s getting any worse but I don’t think it’s getting any worse. Poor sleep or not enough sleep can have ill affects on us in many ways and I believe memory is one of them. I hope you get it figured out soon. Have you experienced any other positive effects becoming a carnivore?
