Hi all,

50 year old male, spent 40 years as a vegetarian. Decided to add meat back into my diet. I began full carnivore last week after my scales told me I'm 100kg, now down to 91.1kg.

I eat beef and eggs cooked in tallow with salt and drink only water. I usually eat once a day in the evening. The problem is that I'm not always hungry, which I guess is a good thing.

My last meal was on Saturday of 450g of minced beef with 6 eggs cooked in tallow and a table spoon of butter. I could only manage to eat half as I was so full. It's now Monday and I still do not feel hungry. Is this normal or should I force myself to eat?

Thanks.

It depends on what your goals are at the moment. I'm 5'8" and approximately 80kg if the online conversion calculator is correct.

If you are trying to lose weight, the general rule is not to eat unless you're hungry. It's certainly won't hurt you to fast for two or three days.

I wouldn't go much beyond that. Your body does have protein and nutritional needs, so eventually you will want to have a meal.

Some people practice fasting regularly, often choosing to do a 2 to 5 day fast once a month, or once a quarter, etc.
