It's been about 45 days on the carnivore diet, and I'm starting to hate it.

I've adapted to the diet, but now I need to eat an enormous amount of food just to feel full.

Yesterday, I ate 15 eggs, 200 grams of jamón, 1 kg of beef heart, and about 200 grams of extra fat. And you know what? I was still hungry. The next morning, I woke up feeling like I could eat everything in sight.

I actually love the changes in my body, but I’m not fully ready for this lifestyle. I already cook all my meals, and at 120 kg, I need a lot of food. Thankfully, not all of it is muscle yet—if it were, I think I’d starve to death.

This diet has taught me a lot about what real hunger feels like.

But the problem is, I still earn the same average salary as my neighbor, who is 2–2.5 times smaller than me. And that makes affording this diet a real challenge.

Ive modeled my approach after I saw your photos and progress with this diet. Very interesting to see your latest update, as for me hunger has dropped significantly (only 2 weeks in so far) to the point of two meals a day, and barely hungry, even after all night and waking up to no hunger, where previously I was famished and could not function. I have lost kilos while not feeling hungry which is a first for me (could be from elimination side) removing carbs/seed oils. I believe eventually it could be incorporating small amount of carbs like saladino including natural sugar/fruit depending on energy usage, he surfs and consumes a lot of energy whereas I am mid range not as active.

same result for me

first 2-3 weeks was a bit hard because i was a bit tired but not hungry and it was too easy not to eat other food becuase hunger disappeared for few weeks

but since few days ago something started to change,

first i added more salt, I was trying to eat 6 grams of salt and i thought it was difficult to eat so much salt and not i just salt 5-10 gramma to every meal )

I feel kinda more energized
