Xanthelasma and the Carnivore Diet - Oozing Cholesterol?

Thanks for taking the time share your journey and encourage me on mine. I read all the time people saying they don’t feel hungry.  I’m feeling hunger pains 5 or 6 hours after eating and I don’t know why. It may be habit as you mentioned.  I drink extra water when they hit and that helps for a while. My energy level isn’t where I think it should be yet though. 

Congrats on the carnivore change and congrats on the 14 pounds. Things will swing back and forth as you progress.  I'm at just about 9 months and within that first month I was OMAD not be any design, but I simply was not hungry. I just ate when I was hungry at that just happens to have a name, OMAD. Funny how that works. Fast forward and I have lost a bunch of weight, increased the volume in the gym and now eating twice per day to ensure I hit a protein target. I have always believed eating is as much a habit as it is anything else. I have re-affirmed that as of late by forcing myself to eat two times per day. I got in the habit of eating a big breakfast off eggs and meat and then again at night. This week I rolled back on days shifts and it is just not enough time in the morning to eat like on my days off. I skipped breakfast on both Monday and Tuesday, so back to OMAD. On Wednesday morning I felt like I was starving. I didn't feel hungry but just felt like 'it was time to eat'. No energy levels or true signals of hunger, just it was breakfast time and since I ate yesterday at this time it must be time to eat again today. Purely habit. I started in May and didn't have any cravings or hunger from very early on. Maybe the only time since May I was actually hungry, truly hungry was the 71st hour of a 72 hour water fast. The first 71 hours were hunger free. (I never would have believed it til I tried it). At the 71st hour it was like the hunger spiked up and the energy level crashed.  Welcome and congrats on your first month. I try not to speak as a whole, but just my experience, it has only gotten better ever since.  Scott

The news media is blaming the Carnivore Diet for a man from Tampa, Florida, who developed xanthelasma, a condition where yellowish, fatty deposits form under the skin. His alleged diet was admittedly extreme, which involved consuming 6-9 pounds of cheese on a daily basis, as well as multiple sticks of butter, and hamburgers with extra fat mixed in the minced meat. Apparently his cholesterol levels skyrocketed to over 1000 mg/dL, significantly higher than the normal level of less than 200 mg/dL2. Is this story true? Could other underlying conditions be at the root of his xanthelasma? Was he REALLY following a true carnivore diet? Is the carnivore diet safe and beneficial.

It changes once you're fully fat adapted. I am dropping prime dookie, smooth as a nuclear submarine, don't even have time to see what's what on my phone. 

Nearly finished with my first month. Can honestly say I have not cheated once!  I’m down 14 pounds.  Today was my second OMAD and I have to say, I get pretty hungry before the 24 hours is up.  I’ve been hitting the gym daily.
