Hello everyone! I came here seeking inspiration and the opportunity to rely on other people’s experiences. I have done low-carb diets off and on for years and it’s always been the best for controlling my weight. I’m the type that likes to dig into and study the science behind these diets. Recently, I’ve learned about the many benefits of a carnivore diet besides just weight loss. So I decided to give it a try. It’s been great, but I’ve had a few hiccups. I’d greatly appreciate any advice. 

A little about myself. I’m 36 y.o., 5’8” tall. I work night shift three nights a week, grueling 12-hour shifts that mess with my routine. I started the carnivore diet end of last year. I dropped 15 lbs in two months. Holidays came around, though, and I slipped off track. Getting back on was rough, but I’ve been strict again for about 2 months now. Problem is, the scale’s barely moving this time. I started at 221, got down to 215 last week, but now I’m back at 217.

On the flip side, I’m seeing some wins off the scale. My headaches are gone, knee pain’s disappeared, and inflammation’s way down. My face looks leaner, and the brain fog I used to fight is minimal. I’m stoked about these changes, but I’m scratching my head about the weight. Last time, it fell off fast. What’s different now? Anyone else experience something similar? Any tips for getting the scale moving again? I know that sometimes our body just needs some time to adjust. One major issue I’m facing is I just have no appetite on this diet because of all the protein and fat. I know I’m not eating enough for a man of my weight. I get down maybe one pound of beef in the afternoon and a few eggs in the morning.

    • March Motivation Challenge! - Enter to WIN!

      Bob posted a topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support,

      "Marching into March with Much Motivation"

      For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

       

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

      The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

      Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

      Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry.

      Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

    • February Fasting Challenge - Enter to WIN!

      Bob posted a topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support,

      Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol. 

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.
