New Carnivore

[Shawn M]

Good evening. After playing around with Low Carb and Keto diets for the last few decades I'm jumping into Carnivore starting tomorrow morning. I have done this in the past for several days to a week and felt great and like a fool, I let that slip. 

I'm a 53-year-old man that is 20-25 pounds overweight. I train with kettlebells and do a fair amount of walking daily. I have horrible knees and need them replaced. I'm hoping that I can reduce the inflammation to the point my knees suck less.

I'm here to learn from great people that have already started the same journey. Thanks for the great forum.

Welcome aboard @Shawn M 

You can do it. I'm 48 years old and down 58lbs. I'm a tile setter in real life so my knees used to kill me, but I feel much better. I would think the combination of losing some weight and reducing inflammation through diet will benefit you too.

I just turned 55. I started May 8th. I have an autoimmune disease called NMO/SD, similar to Multiple Sclerosis. Withing three to four weeks on the diet I found I no longer needed the pain and inflammation medicine I had been on since 2018. 

I started off at 306 and this morning I was 244. 62lbs in less than four months. 

I only have positives thus far. I had some loose stool issues in the beginning but not really any different than any 'hard switch' in a diet. I didn't have the 'carnivore flu' like some do. All positives. 

Good luck. This is a pretty good place to learn and ask questions, at least I like hearing from real people vs. reading medical studies. (it seems they all have an agenda).

Hi I'm 51, I did great on carnivore from February till June of this year, but fell off the rails for the last 2 months. I only have pain when I eat non carnivore. The pain truly is a great reminder to ditch the poison. 

I can remember when Mom ditched the butter and whole milk and opted for low-fat sour cream and sheds spread. I am so grateful I was mostly grown before that happened. We all hated that blue "milk". Hopefully we can help turn this disaster of a ship around by proving once and for all, that the food pyramid is not only nonsensical but, harmful.

Welcome, Shawn M!  As soon as I add back plant foods, I start getting arthritis pain again... Ankles, knees, low back, neck.  Pain goes away pretty quickly back on animal products only. This lifestyle is definitely anti inflammatory.

Welcome aboard Shawn. You are definitely on the right track.
I’ve got a long list inflammatory issues that have been alleviated because of carnivore. So much so that I will never eat the SAD again.
490 days ago I was a 66 year old man who felt like he was 86 but today I’m a 68 year old man who feels like he’s 48. The transformation has been nothing short of miraculous.
I hope you experience the joy I’ve experienced eating this way.
I believe that you can if you really want to.
Good luck and good health.
