Hello New from Gulf Breeze FL

[meljel1]

     Hello everyone, very glad to be here and find this community. I have been looking into Carnivore for quite a while, pretty much understood what it is a lifestyle. I started last week, so almost a week, and adjusting my eating habits throw-out as I go. I gave up soda and all that 15 years ago, have been drinking lots of water since then. One thing I was doing was having Dunkin donuts coffee bottled mocha. I haven't had one in almost a week, and the cravings for chocolate and coffee are going away. I absolutely love steak, meat all that and with the butter, but I do like salads (not given in to eating the vegetables or lettuce). Just simple, meat, eggs, butter, and water and of course salt. I have been watching Dr Barry, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr letterman, Old Guy Carnivore and much more. 

      For me a lot of this make sense, I love history especially the past, and I know looking back humans did not eat the way we eat today, especially with all the additives and progression of the food industry. I am excited about my new journey, and I already am starting to see some changes, sleep, headaches and most important is my low blood sugar, I usually have to eat every so often, they always tell me always take candy with you in case your busy and it goes down. But I never would I always just run for protein, like a burger, chicken, chicken tenders, or something like that, and of course I felt better, so for me this made sense. I also have an issue with IBS and I have noticed that recently my tummy is much better.  Thank you, nice to meet you all. 

Do you all have a group's that meet up?

Welcome to our group Melissa.
Im glad to see someone come on board with such enthusiasm. 
You sound as though you’ve do your research well. 
 

You mentioned that you like salads so I’ll tell you my experience with that.
After my son introduced me to this carnivore lifestyle I told him that I liked salads and my son asked me “Do you really? Or do you like what you put on the salad. Go grab a head of lettuce out of the fridge and eat it with nothing on eat and tell me how much you like salad.”  He was 100% correct. It wasn’t the lettuce that I liked. It was the crunch of the leaf, the meats, cheeses, onions, tomatoes olives and highly processed, seed oil and sugar laden dressings. It turns out I could apply that sand thought to all of the vegetables I ate. It wasn’t what I was eating that I liked but all of the stuff I put on it.

Hi and welcome. I do believe there are zoom meetings every now and then. 

Good luck on your journey.

Welcome. You started off much better than me. I didn't research nor did I read instructions. I just dove in head-first.

I just hit six months this weekend.

Again, welcome.

Welcome aboard @meljel1.

Glad to see you're immersed into this lifestyle as it will make the transition easier for you. 

Please try to use single source salt ie; Redmond Real Salt, Himalayan salt or Celtic sea salt.  Mix a bit in with your water daily for electrolytes, don't need to start with commercial no sugar crap with "natural flavors ".

Single source, 1 ingredient. 

Get to know your sugars names .

 

Thanks for joining us and stay healthy.
