My carnivore experience began on Easter Sunday, 2023. Not because of any religious reasons, I just happened to be flying out to Orlando for a few days of work conference, and thought that would be an excellent time to test my ability to stick to it.

I was reading voraciously, everything from various experiences and testimonials, to the mega thread by The Bear.

I would say my approach is closer to The Bear's than to other more recent advocates. Basically, only eat what you need, and eat as much as you want. I've proven that I don't need vegetables or fruits, or any sugars. I mostly eat steak, but also eat a lot of shrimp, sausage, butter, even pepperoni and salami.

Not everything is optimal, and I could be more strict, but this is good enough for me. I see plants as generally either medicine or flavoring, and won't object to them when used as such, but I see no reason to eat them as a main ingredient or side, or snack for that matter.

I have a family, and don't expect them to follow my path. I cook them dinners that I won't eat, or may snack on the meat components if I want - but I typically eat earlier in the day anyway.

Feel free to share what works for you. I'm open to questions about my observations as I have changed my entire body chemistry and digestion. I don't have a gall bladder, and I am still overweight. I have no desire to return to anything even close to the standard American diet, or any plant-based diet.
