  • I had 3 or 4 rough weeks when first starting out, but I jumped in cold turkey style. My wife went in slowly and had no issues at all. That was 4 years ago and it is so worth it in the end. Keep going,

Just like new, the first steps can be the hardest.

A few things to keep in mind. Hydration is paramount. Carbs require a lot of water. If you have stopped the carbs your body is using them up as that has been the fuel source prior to carnivore. In turn, there may be the need for more water.

One thing to offset that other than water intake is increasing your fat content. Fat burns better than carbs, requires less water and is an over-all better energy source.

Next would be the individuality of most every thing health related. Going cold-turkey carnivore may not work for you. You may need to ease into the diet and wean yourself off the carbs and sugars.

I never like using these words as they carry a lot of negativity, but they are adequate and accurate. You are having withdrawals and de-toxing. Coming off a dumpster diet can be hard. It comes with cravings, and perceived hunger that is your brain telling your body to get back to the status-quo.

Good luck. This is a good place to drop by and share your experiences. Although we are all individuals odds are what ever you are experiencing more than likely there is someone here who has worked thru the same things. You can lean on that.

Good luck. Higher fats, moderate protein, salt/electrolytes and hydration. Keep pushing.

Spot on Scott.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Newbie. The thing I like to tell people when they are first considering becoming carnivores is to learn what it’s all about. Fully understand it before you fully commit to it. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Get Dr. Bakers book The Carnivore Diet. It will really help you get started and understand the ins and outs.
