Hi!  I'm Amber.  I have been on various low carb diets before with quite a bit of success, but in all of those successes, it was when I severely limited even veggies that I found myself feeling the best.  So, after gaining all and more back, I decided maybe adding all of those "safe carbs" back was a bad idea, and it was a gateway to definitely NOT safe carbs that I started craving!

 

My first week I had some decent headaches, but only one migraine day and I consider that an absolute success.  It has become obvious to me in the last couple years that sugar greatly exacerbates my migraines.

 

I am doing classic carnivore, so meats, dairy, and some spices, coffee, and tea.  I am going to try to slowly wean myself off of those extras.  I have cut many of the spices already.  I weightlift 3 times a week, full body.  I have been doing that for years off and on, so I am not adding any extra exercise.  I also hike with a backpack with my husband on some weekends.

 

I joined a forum because it seems that I do the best when I can actually read other peoples' trials and successes and interact with people doing the same thing, and I don't think the forums on My Fitness Pal go any further than keto.

 

Thanks for reading!

Yay! Happy to have you! I’m a noobie too and doing the same classic carni as you are.
The forum is great for accountability. and a sense of community is really important when doing a WOE like this, especially if no one in your circle is on the same page (my case🥲).

Welcome aboard @wat_meme.

Hopefully you'll find this lifestyle lucrative in the way of health. 

I'm 4 months carnivore > chasing better health through medication and having my innocence (trust) ruined by medical professionals. 

I've lost 35 lbs in 3 months, neuropathy in my extremities nearly gone and too much to list has improved, disappeared from my life. All to be here for my wife and 4 legged fur baby.

@Slambo thanks!  Glad to see others that have just started.  Are you through the ick phase?  My husband has no problem with what I eat, but he did think my "pizza" omelet was a little weird tonight.  Eggs are what I am eating when I can't figure out what exactly I want and I have no ground beef thawed.

 

@Meathead Honestly, the 35 pounds is pretty amazing for 3 months, but that you have improved your neuropathy is insane!  I have several diabetics in my family and friend circle, T1 and T2, and neuropathy is a common topic, it can be excruciating for them.

 

Thanks @Geezy!

Welcome to carnivore, and carnivore talk. You'll find support, encouragement, advice and knowledge here. I have learned a lot here. We all just try to learn the most we can while being on the same path towards health and happiness. I am 10 months in, and having always been a disciplined eater, having tried numerous ways towards improvements, THIS is the "diet" that has truly astounded me. 

I did not have any weight to lose, but I do "suffer" from AS. And after a lifetime of trying things out, from sauna, to dairy free, no gluten, cold water therapy, Tai Chi, jogging, meditation, etc. THIS "Diet" has impressed me the most of all. Inflammation is way down, working out is no longer painful. I am glad you joined us, have a seat, have a coffee, and enjoy the ride.

Not sure if you mean the “ick” phase from me or my family, but my family has kind of just accepted it and I’m still in my bottomless pit/ravenous most days phase. Not at all tired of eating animal products and I crave them so much lol.

Thank you [mention=589]Scott F.[/mention] and [mention=148]Orweller[/mention], I am already browsing through the forum topics!
 
[mention=850]Slambo[/mention] I had sort of an "ick" phase being headachy, tired, and sometimes nauseous last week, but now I seem to have moved past that.  I had a hungry day yesterday, but today is a meh, not hungry day.

Ahhhh yes!! I eased myself into it over the course of a month but even that I definitely experienced a low like that. I feel I’m mostly over that even if some days I still feel a little meh

The “ick” phase also known as the keto flu. Lasted in different degrees for me for about 30 days.
It’s pretty normal to stop feeling hungry as we progress in this way of eating because what we eat is so satiating. Just make sure you are eating plenty of fat to keep that energy level up.

    • 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. Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.
