Carnivore changes continue...90+ days

[Scott F.]

Quick recap. 90+ days in and I stopped pain and inflammation medicine in May. No issues. I lost 54lbs thus far. My daily/across the board energy levels are higher than they have been in a lot of years. I'm getting to the gym and walking on my days off. I noticed sort of early on I was sleeping much better but maybe the big difference is when I wake up it is like a switch. Bam, eyes open ready to go immediately. Which leads to some weirdness.

I was in the military and one of the things learned in the military is to sleep when you can. I can remember a 15-minute power nap feeling like an 8-hour snooze fest. You also learned to tune a lot out. I slept in a torpedo room on a nuclear-powered sub and slept thru firing torpedoes. I slept thru Hurricane Fran and walked outside to a different planet. My wife can vacuum in the bedroom, and I won't be bothered. But with that said, since those military days all you have to do is say my name and I pop tall ready to go. Since my 20's I have been able to sleep thru anything except my name. 

Everything the same after carnivore except we had a dog emergency the other night and my wife was yelling my name from the living room, and I never heard it. She came to the door and did the same/ She said I never flinched. The next night she had to actually touch me to wake me up.

I have been sleeping really well since the switch, but I didn't know I was a couple hairs away from a coma. LOL.

I am not complaining but do find it weird.

Congrats on your progress, Scott!  Amazing stuff!

Thanks. Still in the 'who woulda thunk it?" phase but I have seen nothing but the positives thus far.

My sleep has changed and the immediate wake-up started pretty early after the switch. 

From the military to a life long 12 hour rotating shift worker my sleep hours have always been from 9-3 AM or PM. I can't remember ten times in the last 25 years where the alarm clock woke me up in the mornings. I have always been awake, just laying there til it went off or got close. About three weeks into this I was in another world and the alarm clock went off. My wife said I came out of the bed like the house was on fire. It was rather shocking.

Not being a scientist or researchers or medical professional I can't totally say this is a result of the carnivore diet but I can say it never happened before the carnivore diet.

Congrats on your ongoing success.  I'm 16 days in and after about a week I noticed I'm sleeping better, and feel recharged afterwards.

Good luck to you as well.

Congratulations.  The benefits keep coming the better fuel we put in our bodies.
