Exactly one year ago I made the decision to go carnivore. 

Here's the positives:

  • About 70% of my health concerns have gone away, an incredible improvement for someone with auto immune condition and chronic pain.
  • I feel my teeth have gotten stronger, less sensitive, no bleeding gums, less plaque build up. 
  • My skin has gotten better as well, less blemishes on my face, and overall healthy complexion. 
  • My muscle tone is off the charge, six pack abs, defined shoulders, traps, lats, overall a more muscular look. 
  • The bath room visit is quick, clean, and smooth, I can't remember when I had a belly ache. 
  • I haven't been sick once during this year. 
  • My workouts are less painful, I feel strong and supple. After a brief dip in strength, it came back to its original state. 
  • My brain is more focused, quicker on the draw, I notice this most when driving in busy traffic, or when I read.
  • Less emotional mood swings, more stable. 

Here's the negatives:

  • While I love my new body composition, I feel my face is a little to thin, I guess that comes with the territory. 
  • The social disconnect when it comes to eating, it has a different meaning to me now, and I have such a different schedule. 
  • The limitation when traveling, the easiness of grabbing a pop tart and head out the door, not a huge deal though, convenience and comfort is an enemy, it makes one soft. 

So that is briefly my summation of my experience during the year of carnivore. During this year I've had half a slice of cheese cake, half a cookie, a piece of chocolate here and there. But it never invited a way back to carbs for me. All these transgressions were paired with some sort of social event, and haven't interfered with any weight goals -as I don't have any. I've learned how to taste food in an entire new way, my sense of taste was reset thus the occasional lapse resulted in being overwhelmed by the sweetness and my physical reaction to it. I've gained so much awareness about eating and nutrition. Overall a good experience, and I am on to my next year. 

Weight change in a year: from 148lbs. to 133lbs.

Congrats on the year mark.

I understand the 'thin in the face' point. I have lost a lot of weight and the look thin, some say too thin, although most of them have only known me at 300+.

It got so bad the word got out that I was sick again. If I heard, "Are you doing, OK? Need me to do anything? once, I heard it a thousand times.

Babbling.

Congrats on the one year mark. Quite the accomplishment.
