Another good one from Dr. Tony Hampton. 

 

I’m starting to think I can’t do carnivore without herbs and spices. I need ginger and black pepper, turmeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and more

every once in a while I need to visit Flavor Country

I can honestly say that I have zero 'fears' regarding my Carnivore Journey.  I am a Scientist by University training, so I am approaching this as an experiment.  Most formed hypothesis fail, and you take your "learnings" and form a new hypothesis and test it.

That's my approach here.

But honestly, today is Day#13 and this morning I woke up feeling hungry, but fantastic.

It's not a big deal to use spices. Unless you're really sensitive to carbs, oxalates, phytotoxins, etc.

Most of us do some spices occasionally and it’s no big deal as long as your body tolerates them. Some people react to some seasonings and spices.
When I first went Carni I was very strict with everything because I needed to heal my metabolism so I only used salt and white pepper. I found that the longer I went without the seasonings and the longer I ate carnivore the better my food started tasting. After a year I started using some seasonings but on a limited basis but for the most part all I really want these days is just salt.

I just eat salt. A few weekends ago I used some of my wife's BBQ sauce and it didn't taste as good as I remember. It has some sugar and I wonder if that what didn't taste the same.

I just use salt now. For whatever reason flakes of pepper stick in my throat now and I cough like all get out if I use pepper. Crazy, and I know why that happens.

All salt for me.

Interesting video/interesting thread.

I dove in head-first to lose weight. I had no idea there would be other benefits other than simply 'not eating crap'. I have not taken medicine since late May early June of last year.

Some use carnivore as a cleanse/elimination diet and then start re-introducing sugars and carbs slowly.

I am on the other side of the 'fear' in this video. I have not taken medicine for a life-long auto immune disease, and I don't know which particular plant or sugar, or which combination of the two triggers my issues. My 'fear' would be re-introducing something to induce that trigger and then maybe carnivore 'can't' fix it next time.

Kind of a stretch, and maybe not even a fear, maybe even a newfound respect for the power of the plant (or the fat/meat-depending on perspective).
