Hi everyone, I’m new here. 27 days into my carnivore journey and could use some support and insight. Started almost a month ago — no cheats, no plant foods — but I’m still dealing with what feels like a very slow and bumpy digestive adaptation. To keep it affordable in the beginning, I started with eggs and ground beef. I don’t like the taste of ground beef on its own, so I added eggs to make it more tolerable. Eventually, ground beef became even harder to eat, so I tried bone broth to help it go down, which actually worked for a bit. At one point I switched to slow-cooked chuck roast. But around week 2, I started getting diarrhea. Thinking it might be histamine sensitivity, I switched to freshly cooked ribeye only, hoping that once digestion improves, I can return to cheaper meats and save ribeye as an occasional “treat.” The diarrhea did stop, but stools are still sometimes loose or liquid. Even after almost a month of strictly carnivore here’s what else I’ve been going through: • Very low appetite — rarely feel real hunger, and the thought of meat still doesn’t excite me. • Can only eat small amounts at a time before I feel full or slightly nauseated. (May be I’m not eating enough) • Still kind of fatigued most days. (Though energy level is much better than before) • No “wellness” or mental clarity boost yet. Still lots of mental chatter, irritability, and emotional heaviness. • Weight loss has stalled, and I’ve noticed sunken cheeks and a general sense of physical stress. (Lost 10 lbs the first 2 weeks and only 2 lbs since then) • Sleep is okay, but I still sometimes have uneasy dreams instead of the deep, dreamless sleep I’ve heard others describe. I’ve been researching possible digestive support like digestive enzymes with ox bile, betaine HCL, DAO enzymes and magnesium glycinate just to help bridge this difficult adaptation phase. But I’m torn: • Will supplements slow down or interfere with my body’s natural reset? • Or are they genuinely helpful and worth trying? So I’m reaching out to ask: • Has anyone else experienced a rough digestive transition like this, especially around the 3–4 week mark? • How long did it take before things improved for you? • What helped the most? • Should I ride it out or get support in the form of targeted supplements? I really want to do this clean and right but I also want to heal, and I feel like I’m in this weird in-between place. Thanks so much in advance for reading this and sharing your experience. I’m grateful to be here and to learn from all of you who’ve been on this path longer than me. 🙏
Hi 🙂
I started my carnivore diet jurney 7 days ago.
Im 24yo, weight 63kg, 1.74cm.
I started this diet because of three main reasons:
1. Although im lean, workout everyday and eat healthy(at least I think so) I have severe sleep apnea.
I saw some people that says this diet helps, anyone has a personal experience and can say it helped him?
2. I was involved in a car accident 6 years ago and since then im suffering from all sorts of pain around my body from the neck to my foot, it caused sacroelitiss, hernieted discs in the neck and lower back, cervical myelopathy and so forth...
I tried numerous treatments during those years, and im streching everyday, nothing helped, and what gave a bit of relief disnt last more that a day or two.
I understood that it can help with inflammation in the body.
Do you guys have positive experiences from carnivore diet related to injuries ?
3. Lastly, I have flat warts for a few years, didnt manage to make them go away, did carnivore diet helped for someone regarding this?
Would really appriciate to here some of your personal experiences 🙏
