I'm Steve, from northwest Ga. I've begun carnivore not for weight loss (I'm a small guy anyway, 5'4", 135 lbs) but to hopefully help with insulin resistance and blood pressure. I loathe the idea of being on meds. I won't do it.

Until starting the diet I was drinking from 20-30 beers a week. None since except for several on my birthday a couple of weeks ago. No changes yet in my BP.

Glad to hear your kicking all sorts of habits. 

Have you had any blood work done lately? If you search for "reasons for high blood pressure" you see there can be a variety of reasons, with 'underlying health conditions' being one of them. For example, I still take blood pressure meds. My BP has come down considerably, but not as low as I would like. But my underlying issue is stage 4 chronic kidney disease, so I don't know if I will ever get it down to pristine levels. 

But with that aside, keep doing what you are doing. A well-rounded carnivore diet is absolutely the best thing for you.

The alcohol has got to go for a while my good sir. That amount is like taking tons of medication, and in fact it IS a medication at this point. That is the cold heart truth of it. Happy belated birthday and good luck on your journey.

Welcome Steve. You are definitely on the right track to improve your health.
You have the right perspective coming into this to heal.
I have been carnivore for over 510 days now and in that time my blood pressure has normalized and my cardiologist has taken me off all of my medications. I am pill free for the first time in 6 years.
I hope you experience the same results I have.
Good luck.

Welcome.

I'm at five months. I'm an all-positives guy thus far with carnivore.

Although I never had BP issues even tho I was 6'3" 306 (as much as 321) my BP was slightly lower after 90 days as well as drop in cholesterol/triglycerides.

I'm pain and inflammation "pill free" due to carnivore.

The first thing that pops up after carnivore is 'weight loss'. I think the needle needs to be pushed a little more toward the other benefits as well.

Welcome and best of luck.

 

Scott

    • March Motivation Challenge! - Enter to WIN!

      Bob posted a topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support,

      "Marching into March with Much Motivation"

      For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

       

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

      The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

      Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

      Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry.

      Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

    • February Fasting Challenge - Enter to WIN!

      Bob posted a topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support,

      Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol. 

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing.
