Hey all, Im so glad to be here.  I first heard of a carnivore diet four days ago, and have been carnivore for three days.  But realized I was losing alot of weight to soon. (I heard that may not healthy). so Ill be asking advice on foods that will supplement my carnivore diet. Im off to the store to get some high fat, high carb dairy products.  Hope to talk to you soon.

Welcome aboard. 
I’ve already answered this on another thread you started so I won’t repeat myself here. 
 

As someone who has been retired for four years now I can tell you it’s one of the top three best decisions that I’ve made in my lifetime.

Congrats on the retirement. 

I also answered on the other thread. 

Best of luck. I'm 55 so I got a few years to go.

Best advice i ever heard about retirement is  "Never trade the most valuable thing you have (time)  for something you may never need (more money).  thanks for the reply guys!

Welcome aboard. I may not have seen the other thread/topic yet, but I just wanted to add that much of that initial weight loss may just be water. When you eliminate carboHYDRATEs from your diet, you lose a lot of water weight up front.

The word weight is really just too broad for this very reason. In the beginning you lose a lot of water/liquids as your body is less likely to hold onto water. Also, with inflammation decreasing, adds a reason for your body to hold on to water as meat is extraordinary less inflammatory as carbohydrates. 

Weight can be muscle, fat, or "water". One needs to know what they're exactly losing.

Good. That was the insulin sensitivity, having been bombarded with it all your life, your body expects the poison to hit the body and it ain't coming.
