Sounds like classic keto flu Bubba. It’s common to experience fatigue as our bodies try to transition from burning glucose to burning fat. I think it may be because our bodies run out of glucose before the fat burning can get fully operational. With you having chronic fatigue syndrome it may even be worse for you but if you can hang in there I think it will get better. You may need to increase your fat intake or look into some electrolyte supplements. The stiff and painful joints could be due to oxalate dumping. The coughing and bringing up junk may very well be a virus. That may also be the reason for the sore joints. While carnivore has some miraculous healing properties it isn’t magic. It won’t stop you from getting sick. Viruses have no respect for carnivore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is some truth to that for most people. I come across a lot of people who eat by the clock. They aren’t hungry but it’s time to eat. I’ve gone through different stages in my journey but I find that OMAD suits me best. I feel my best on OMAD. I only eat when I’m hungry but my hunger is nothing like it used to be when I was eating SAD. Hunger used to be more of craving for food, an addictive impulse. Today, it’s something I can easily ignore. My belly might be empty but it doesn’t feel like hunger to me. When I’m truly hungry I have this feeling of needing to fuel up. I don’t know how to explain it. Whereas eating used to be something that I looked forward to with a passion today is almost a nuisance. Kinda like having to stop at a gas station to fuel up my pickup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree.  I'm a big fan. I think the current administration should have waited on his approval and used the time and money on changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico on school lunches. The government does not have a lot of input on what we as adults choose to eat but putting healthier choices in front a kids may very well create life-long good habits. I wondered whether the name change made Musk's list of wasteful spending. Scott

Sort of a re-post and apologize for clogging up the board. In nine months I have moved in and out of eating patterns, from eating by the clock to eating when I am hungry, to OMAD, to eating two times a day as well as three times per day to hit a grams of protein target. All this week I have been eating a big egg/meat breakfast, a large portion of meat at lunch and then a rather big dinner.  Today, I returned to dayshift and skipped breakfast this morning.  By mid-morning today I felt like I was about to starve. I drank water and it sort of held me over til I made lunch. I can't imagine I am actually hungry today after the amount I ate yesterday. The funniest part is that half-way thru lunch today I was more than stuffed. I didn't finish the burger patties.  Scott

Totally depends on you as the individual. I never had any signs nor form of the keto/carnivore flu. My son did carnivore about a month or so and the first two seeks he had versions of flu like symptoms. Hopefully it gets better sooner than later. Scott
