For me it's been 5 years and 8 months now.

Best decision ever.

Was keto beforehand for 3ish months.

Dumpster diet to carnivore since May 6, 2024. A little over two years.

I pretty much never say never, but I can't imagine eating any other way now.

For me, carnivore, regular extended fasts (72+ hours) and resistance training have me in a really good place.

I am not a 'rock the boat' kinda' guy.

I consider myself 97% carnivore since May 12, 2023. which as of this writing is also 1199 days.

@Geezy started 3 days prior to me.

I was super strict my first year. Now, on what I consider RARE occasions, I might consume a single-ingredient whole food that isn't meat. But by and large I am living a carnivore lifestyle.

I’ve been carnivore since February 2024. Had a bypass in January 2022. Knew I needed a change. Remarkable change since. Normal blood pressure,25% weight loss now 148 pounds. No meds, more energy. Only problem is cholesterol has risen. I’m worried about artery blockages.

Since you've already had a bypass (in 2022, which I assume was one or more blocked arteries), I can understand that you would worried about this possibly happening again.

But with all the weight lost, BP normalizing, and more, I would focus on the positive. You've removed many of the factors that cause inflammation, including arterial inflammation. That's a good thing for sure.
