I have been on the diet 90 days as of today. I had some immunoglobulin blood work done earlier in the week and the results just posted. My Immunoglobulin A numbers were still high at 388 (signs of infection and inflammation from an underlying illness) and my IM m numbers were low (51) which is actually improved from May. 

I have had nothing but the positives of the carnivore diet the first 90 days so there are zero complaints. I thought i would see a better number on the 'infections and inflammation' IMG a because I have not had to use any pain nor anti-inflammatory medicines since May. (Knocking on wood) I have not been sick since way early in the year. The IMG m number showed improvement, but I guess part of me was swinging for the fences. LOL

My Vitamin D numbers jumped considerably to normal. I have been taking Vitamin D supplements for the longest and the numbers just lulled around really low. That is a plus.

I think I am going to go with 'it has only been 90 days' and go from there. 52lbs and pain free within the first 90 days is not too shabby. 

There will be another set in November. Like with everything, time will tell.

  • I had read about waiting for a year. I have two infusions per year and blood work a few weeks out and a few weeks after.  When I first started reading and watching videos on the positive affects

  • That is the plan. I read some studies from the 50's when carnivore was called 'a meat only' diet. (maybe the current name is a better catch phrase). The MS community saw a lot of improvements with red

I think so too.

It is still just 111 days in so I'm trying to not be terribly impatient.

I don't take any medicines other than my infusions every six months. 

My BP has always been relatively low. For me, 110/70 is the highest I see. Once with Covid I had 125/75 and that is highest I have ever seen. 

It is the same with blood glucose. I would have to eat a Little Debbie cake to get into the mid 90's. Since Carnivore I'm in the low 100's. Prior to that some mornings I would do the 'wall slide' to get to the kitchen to eat. I would wake up in the upper 80's at times. 

I have bloodwork again in November with my infusion. It will more data points. LOL

This trip my blood pressure was 99/66.
My glusose A1C number inched down from 4.73 to 4.32
The Vitamin D moved up 9 spots to 46. 
Total cholesterol dropped some and now is at 219.
The HDL is 37 and the LDL is 187.
The triglycerides are close to the same at 75.

I would be very happy if all my numbers looked this good.  Yes, the HDL could be bumped up a few points, but overall you are looking just fine with these numbers, as far as these markers go.

I'm good with the numbers. Like anyone, I was hoping to see some improvements. But I can't imagine fixing 50+ years i 111 days. LOL

I still think I'm in the infancy of the carnivore lifestyle. I'm figuring things out every so often.

For now, I'm going with I feel better, I'm not taking any medicine for pain/inflammation, and I have dropped 60 pounds in less than four months. I'm good.

Exactly the right attitude to have Scott.
We have eaten a lifetime of bad food and it takes time to heal and turn things around.
You’ve definitely got a handle on this.
We are in this for the long haul so light the fire. Burn the beast and be happy.
