Good morning! ☕️

So, I’ve been reading a lot about carnivore diets on Nostr.

Having been mostly a non-meat eater my whole life and even vegan a couple of years ago, I'm curious if this diet might help my body perform better and reduce my constant fatigue and inflammation.

As a woman and a runner, I'm looking for insights on the best approach to transitioning to a carnivore diet.

Specifically, what considerations should I keep in mind, and who can I trust for guidance?

There’s so much conflicting information out there, and I feel that asking this on social media will just get me the usual negative comments.

I’d really appreciate any honest advice or personal experiences that can help me make an informed decision. 🙏🙏🙏

When you go off carbs, your body will likely dump water, leading to the infamous carnivore diarrhea for 1-2 weeks

Supposedly salt (or other electrolytes) can help

Longer term, the main variable to play with is fat vs lean percentage

Assuming you're not trying to lose body fat you'll probably want something like 80% fat calories (which you can get from 70/30 ground beef, Ribeyes, or other fatty meat)

Be careful with dairy, it's addictive

Another thing to watch out for is processed meat (eg sausage, jerky, even some bacon), which often has added sugar, added chemicals and can be "fully cooked" which denatures some of the Vitamin C

Thank you, yes dairy is super addictive and the processed meat is so full of bad things, especially here in Germany…
