Cant see myself going the rest of my life eating nothing but meat, but I really want to get to the bottom of ailments, and to see what its like feeling the best I can.

I'm carnivore most days, most meals. But now that I have reach my goals I don't mind if I find myself in a situation where I dip my toes into ketovore or animal-based on rare occasions. I'm past the point of where I would go on a bender for several weeks and struggle to get back on plan if I had an apple. And I'm glad. I hated being a slave to sugar.

I'm down 7kg now, and I can see and the difference. My daily pain level has dropped significantly. Joints all over are feeling better...fingers, feet/toes etc. I used to rise from resting almost crooked and hobble across the floor. Every day gets easier (carni-food).

That alone should tell you all you need to know of the benefits of eating a proper human diet. It should also tell you of what would happen if you ever go back to eating the way you used to. So you may want to rethink about not eating this way for life because this is a lifestyle not a diet. You will reverse all of your progress if you done maintain it. But…as Bob said and I agree with him, when you get to a maintenance stage and you’ve got the carb addiction licked you can indulge occasionally but you just don’t want to make a habit of it. The only thing I’m allowing into my diet these days is a few jalapeños occasionally and some seasonings.  As long as they don’t affect me I’m fine with them. If you do stick with this long enough you may even get to a point where you just don’t want that other stuff anymore. Many of us come to that point. For me I see no point in eating them because the don’t provide and nutrition. Could I? Yes. Will I? No, there’s no need to. I don’t miss the sweets and carbs one bit.

Great to hear you're reaping benefits from a proper human diet.  Keep this in your mind if you decide to indulge.  Your intake tastes good but at what cost in affecting your health. You may slip up like I did and mistakenly eat something with seed oils and I felt it for 3-4 days after.  

Keep up the great work and don't forget where and WHY you started.
