Carnivore update: Week 2

International UFO Museum and Research Center, Roswell, New Mexico

Everything’s going good on the diet. They say that the adaption period is 1-2 weeks, in other words the amount of time you’ll potentially be miserable, but I really haven’t experienced anything other than normal.

I’ve got some major symptoms with Mold Illness/Lyme, including this week a couple days I had to go to bed to wait out a reaction possibly to mold, so I haven’t seen any mind blowing miracles yet, but I would expect that little things would clear up before any significant symptoms. Here is what I have noticed:

Before Carnivore I had to eat regular meals on the dot to avoid blood sugar drops. It’s like either eat NOW or ruin your entire day. Now I get hungry and then I know I’m ready to eat, but if a prolong meal time or even if I skip breakfast nothing bad happens.

Before Carnivore randomly I would get incredibly bloated, like 6 months pregnant bloated, no matter what I ate, often depending on the humidity. My body was swollen and it was incredibly uncomfortable, pressure on my back, like my body would pop. Now most days my stomach is entirely flat and only on some extremely humid days did I bloat a bit, but not as much. So that’s cool.

Weight: I lost 2 more lbs, totaling 3 lbs.

Week 1 I was eating a ton, 2-2.5 lbs, and that seems to align with what a lot of people on Carnivore were saying; this week 1.5-2 lbs. I’m not really bummed about not eating anything else except when I see mom peel and slice up a juicy gold kiwi and dad pick fresh blueberries.

I did come to LOATHE the fattier version of the ground beef I was eating even though previously it was satiating, so I went back to some steaks and alternated with lesser lean ground. I’ve missed the local market for two weeks so I’ve been missing variety in the cuts of beef. I’m going to make it a priority to get there next Saturday because the Kroger grass fed steaks are hit or miss in terms of taste and I’m bored with the ground beef.

Good luck to everyone out there with health issues and the ways you go about to improve your life!
