Hey frens... I know a lot of you do the carnivore diet, and I'm considering getting on board. I did Atkins many years ago and got good results by eliminating carbs. From what I understand, carnivore works similarly. I'm trying to get back down to my sexy weight, so a solid diet and gym regimen will be key. The gym is the easy part. So, if you do carnivore, I'd love to hear your experiences, as well as pointers, or recommended resources. Thanks! 🥩 #asknostr

I run a lot and noticed bad cramping and heart palpitations on pure carnivore. I added in fruit and all of that went away. Might not be everyone elses experience but it's what has worked for me
Aren't you concerned about the sugar from the fruit interfering with ketosis? From what I understand, the reason consuming meat and fat all day doesn't make you fat is because without the carbs (sugar) your insulin stays low leaving you unable to store fat. But when you introduce sugars, your insulin goes up and now all that fat can be stored. That's why eating fat and sugar (like ice cream) is so fattening. I think my biggest concern at this point is the impact this will have on my LDL, and the potential to develop kidney problems.
I find 5:2 works well for me. It fits my lifestyle, and the way my brain works. Find something tat suits you!
I’m on my third day of strict carnivore…desperately for health reason and pain relief!
So far it’s quite an amazing transition.
I found that Kevin Stock guy helpful but I think what others have written in this post is gold and thank you!
