so i feel pretty lousy after i eat. i do eat a big carnivore meal, with one piece of fruit (under 50 grams of carbs). so my insulin is ok. but the post food coma is too much. this causes me to drink alcohol, as i have a difficult time sitting with discomfort.

Then eliminate that which may be causing this reaction…fruit. It’s not so much the carb but what the carb does to you. Fruit contains fructose. Fructose is not like most sugars because it goes directly to your liver where it is metabolized quicker. Fructose is not used to feed cells directly. It is taken up by the liver, where it is broken down, and stored or used much like glucose.

You might also try eating smaller meals instead of so much at once. Break them up throughout the day. I used to eat just one meal a day and it would be very large but I’d be worthless afterwards.

yeah geezy i feel pretty worthless after doing omad. i'm gonna try 2mad and see how i fair. although i really don't like eating meat more than once a day but i can try eggs for my second meal. i do ok with eggs and maybe a small amount of cheese on top.

Sometimes I think the fact we are not all the same gets lost when looking what carnivore has done for others and hoping about what it will do.

As Geezy suggested, try a different approach. Maybe two smaller meals will work better for you.

If the fruit is serving the purpose of a snack or something in between meals you can replace it with some sort of meat snack. In my first few months I would have a couple burgers or some bacon in the refrigerator. Thise will work in a pinch and will do no harm.

And if it has to be something in the family of fruits and vegetables then maybe something like an avocado or something similar.

It is much better to find what works for you than modeling your approach after another. I have changed a number of times since May '24, sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. It is like I have been dialing in since the start.

Good luck. Keep plugging away. The goal is to figure out your path.
