Hi,

I have started carnivor dite last month 27th July, and in that time I also started my sessions in Nano hydrogen. I was for chicken, fish, eggs and once a week for meat, when I did the lab the eGFR went from 4 to 8, creatinine from 800 to 500. I was so happy about that, but the potassuiom and calcuim was down so the physician wrote supplements for me.

I have enjoyined eating red meat and butter every day till this last Thursday when I got to my appointment to check the Bone profile. Today I check the results. The number shocks me the eGFR start to go down again. Wherever I got one Nano session before the visit. Is that cause of meat or of fat that I consume, I think I eat to much of butter and when I cook too, I get obssed to eat it cold 🥲 or that okay, good sign or there is somthing I need to consider?

I forgot to mentioned my total protein in seurim went down too even with carnivor dite.

Total protein from 59 to 50

Albumin from 35 to 30

Bilirubin from 5 to 4.7

Or this my body attempt to adjust to new dite?

I also eat a lot of butter. I'm on a red meat only version of carnivore, some call the Lion's Diet right now. I sometimes purchase meats that are a bit lean and don't carry the fat content I am looking for so I use butter-and sometimes a lot of butter. I too will toss some in the pan to cook with and then eat a couple dabs off the butter tray while cooking.

I think everyone has shifts in blood panels when the switch first occurs. At some point when your body becomes fat adapted and the adjustment period is over those numbers/that metabolic panel could be your new norm.

I have blood work fairly often and have tracked different things up and down as I have been on the diet longer and longer. I expected my total cholesterol and LDL to go up but they went down. I didn't expect my immune numbers to drastically improve to the point I no longer take daily medication and have a high probability of no longer needing the six-month infusions.

Good luck as you progress and welcome to the forum.

You calmed me, Thank you Scott 🙏🏻

So the changes happen diffrently according to our health state.

Yes. I will go out on a limb and say that it helps everyone (well, most everyone) but based on a person's individual health the healing comes at different rates.

Good luck.

My eating habits and health were poor when I started. I totally agree with you all that where you start is important when gaging progress. And sometimes I experience what appear to be setbacks, but I've realized it's my body trying to heal itself. Things improve month by month and this is perhaps one of the greatest lessons in patience and being kind to my body that I have ever experienced. I am so grateful for everyone being here.

When I see others expriences with this dite, I started to realize, yes our body change may it looks worse but then its worthy to go through. This comunity and others make influnce in our life by sharing and supporting. I look for that time to celebrate my improvment too.When I see others expriences with this dite, I started to realize, yes our body change may it looks worse but then its worthy to go through.
