New Years Resolutions for 2025, Post Them Here!

[Orweller]

Obviously, I'll keep on with the Carnivore diet, that is my main resolution. Another, going for US citizenship. 

[Geezy]

I didn’t do it today but I’m cutting out dairy again and cutting out seasonings as well as going back to OMAD. I think I’m getting too lax in my eating.

I say that's a good start of the year.

dunno, after all those years of crippling autoimmune diseases, i feel i have put my life in pause. *I'd like to push the play button this year*. I am sure many of you can relate, overall one of the main reason people approach the carnivore diet is to take their health back into their hands.

I never really gave up milk but it was an off an on thing here and there. I felt like for me it played a part in some of the stalls. But the weight was falling and I like milk, so a glass here and there was not the end of the world. Last week I didn't have my glasses and grabbed what I thought was a 2% bottle and turned out to be a Nestle Quik. It tasted like melted ice cream and I am sure, probably straight sugar. I have had the bubble guts for going on a week. 

Not necessarily a resolution but I'm going dairy free for the next little while. 

If I had to choose a resolution it will be helping my wife with her 2nd attempt into the Carnivore diet. I think choosing to start just before the Holidays was not the best choice, but she wanted to start, and I was all for it. She is all geared up for January 2nd. Supporting her will be my resolution.

I will have to check the resolution handbook to see if that counts.

milk and all the derived products were one of the very first product i gave up. every autoimmune disease that i already had at the time, would significantly worse with milk and dairies in general. Right now i don't feel to add it back again cause i never saw it as an healthy option, at least for me. only using some ghee time to time.

I can understand for sure. Suffered for over 30 years, and only up to a few weeks ago, without pain. The horizon is wide and open. I have been rewarded greatly by going carnivore, hope the same will be the case for all of you.

I have checked the book, and sure enough, it counts! A noble resolution to help another with this diet.

I am fortunate that dairy never did me wrong. Yes I have an auto immune disease, but those Dutch genes of mine make up for it.

Happy new year, and welcome to the forum, and the carnivore diet. We'll be your tour guides for this year through this wonderful journey if you have any questions. 
My first advice you didn't ask for: ease into it, for at least 2 weeks. Good luck.

@Orweller Booooooooring. Easing into it is the boring way to do it. The fun way is to eat 2000gr of refined carbs on a daily basis and then go straight carnivore and enjoy a whole new platora of miserable experiances including compulsive vomit, kidney pain and impeding feeling of doom XDD

(disclaimer: please don't listen to my advices)

No doubts. I think we are all different to a degree and a part of the problems with our medical system in general is the cookie cutter approach.

True story. My mother-in-law didn't wear glasses much more than readers. She went to the doctor way back when and her glucose was high. She was immediately put on medicine to control her glucose. Her glucose remained low to very low for 20+ years of her latter life. When she needed glasses later in life my wife was going over her prescriptions and the optometrist as well as the ophthalmologist assured my wife by checking the eyes my mother-in-law did not have glucose issue and showed no signs of ever being diabetic. They consulted with a new doctor and weaned her off the medicine. She never had issue with the weaning or being off the medicine as her glucose stayed low to sometimes very low. Odds are she ate something before the blood test that day, her glucose spiked as normal and that was the number that was caught. The cookie cutter approach is to prescribe medicine. 

And to a point, I get it. The pills are prescribed because they work but seldom are pills the temporary solution while searching for the more permanent solution. 

In my mother-in-law's case she took medicine to unnecessarily control her blood glucose for 20+ years. Later, she passed with Dementia and Alzheimer's.

I'm not a doctor, nor a researcher, but I want to think one played a significant role in the other.

So, yes. Me on milk with my auto-immune disease is probably different than you on milk with your autoimmune disease.

Hopefully the two us can work thru the issues and let the carnivore approach help us get to a better place.

Fun fact: I did in fact jump right in like seal team 6. Without any consequences. No one will accuse me of being boring! lol

We all look for our own solution, and that is anything but cookie cutter. I absolutely agree. 

The example of your mother's case, plausibly with dire, tragic, consequences, is a good example.

I sort of dove right in as well. I just started eating only meats. It took me a little bit to read and learn and understand. Luckily, I didn't have any negative experiences. I guess I just got lucky.

Thanks you for the welcome and advice.  It’s 9:45 pm and I just saw this now.  Too late….I jumped right in.  At 8:30 this morning I had ground beef and two eggs. I enjoyed it so much I made the same meal tonight at 7:00, plus added bacon.  That really is my personality type though….all or nothing.  I guess we’ll see how it goes! Thanks again….sincerely.

I am another one who just jumped in with both feet. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. Other than a little fatigue and 30 days of diarrhea it worked out well for me.

That's something than when i read online i wonder if people just know something i don't. How dp you possibly enjoy ground beef? I love meat, I could eat meat at tons, but ground beef, is like chewing on your old eraser from your office supply.

I grew up in a family of 11 children and didn’t have a lot of money, so we ate a lot of it!  I enjoy it!
