what is your theory here? I have looked into ancient civilacation a bit too. could be related ad well.
Yes. Now it feels normal not to have pain and that is the way it is supposed to be!
Oh yes. I have never tried anything like it and I am proving the doctor wrong who told me that it was ireversible and would only go one way.
Now it has been 13 months without osteoarthritis knee pain.
When I first experienced my pain disappearing, I was euphoric and in utter disbelief at the same time. Now, I just feel free and happy. I can run, fight, jump, and play floorball as much as I want! Life is good!
Meat heals!

Great carnivore meal! Fried steak, fried eggs, butter, and salt. Just perfect!
Would you have this for breakfast?
I was out as well. but it just feel wrong to look at the sky and know what is going on.
Diversity is really embraced by society:
People can choose to eat only plants.
People can identify with many different genders or no gender at all.
Females can do hard physical labor.
People come in all different shapes, and sizes.
But the line is drawn at people who only eat meat. That, apparently, is just too crazy for this world. 😂
Here is the recipe! 😊it is from my small online cookbook which you can find through this link
You should do some digging in the literature. There is a great literature review done by Uffe Ravnskov—very good work! You probably won't feel calm about if before you have read about it yourself 😄
From the research I have read, my opinion on cholesterol is that it does not cause heart disease. When a person eats a high-sugar diet, cells get damaged, and cholesterol comes to aid like a bandage, helping to fix the broken cells. Cholesterol moves essential building blocks around the body for cells to use. It is essential—without it, you simply cannot survive.
More studies have now shown that having high cholesterol decreases all-cause mortality compared to having low cholesterol. You want your triglycerides to be as low as possible, along with a good ratio between them (this is a better indication of heart disease risk).
What about people with hypercholesterolemia? Yes, they have high cholesterol, but that is not their primary issue. There is another factor related to this genetic mutation: a higher tendency for blood clotting (I can’t recall the specific chemical reactions). This clotting tendency is what causes heart disease.
Oh and I have high LDL and total cholesterol, but also high HDL and low triglycerides. I am really happy about this result of my last blood work.
I am so happy for you Cary! Making life make sense again! living and thriving! Beautiful! very inspirering, and you are so right. There is only the journey and it is a great one.
My Best Advice, Reflections, and Ideas from Starting and Sticking to a Carnivore Diet
1. Clean Out the Pantry
Get rid of all processed foods, grains, sugars, and seed oils. Throw them out! Even if you don't stick with carnivore, those items are best avoided.
If you live with others who eat differently, try to agree on certain foods to stop buying and remove them from the house—especially if they are triggering for you.
2. Eat Without Restriction
When I started carnivore, I ate whenever I was hungry or felt like eating. This approach helped with cravings, social situations, and adjusting to new habits—like giving up my evening sweet snack.
It’s not a good idea to go hungry during this transition. My body was ravenous for nutrients, and I was surprised by how much I could eat. I listened to my body and fed it whenever it asked, as long as the food was carnivore-friendly.
It usually takes 3 to 6 months to become fully fat-adapted. Once that happens, hunger signals calm down. I still eat when I’m hungry, but my appetite is now much more stable.
3. Don’t Let Small Things Hold You Back
If you’re curious about carnivore and want to heal, give it a try! During my first three weeks, I still drank coffee and occasionally had a small piece of dark chocolate. By the end of that period, I naturally lost interest in those items and stopped.
Carnivore often makes it easier to quit non-carnivore foods over time, so don’t let small things stop you from starting.
4. Focus on Fat
When I started, I had just had three kids in six years. My body was starving for nutrients and fat. I needed to eat 100-150g of butter daily alongside fatty meat and eggs to feel satisfied. Now, after a year, I eat 80-100g of butter per day.
Constipation? You might need more fat.
Diarrhea? You could be eating too much fat or consuming too much melted/rendered fat. Try eating solid fats instead.
5. Don’t Skimp on Salt
Salt is crucial when starting carnivore. Invest in good unrefined sea salt and salt your food to taste.
6. Be Patient
Give carnivore a fair shot—at least 30 days, though 90 days is better. Everyone’s adjustment period is different. For me, it took about 14 days. During that time, I felt very tired, and my joints were so sore I thought I might be getting sick. But then, the fatigue lifted, and my energy improved. From there, things kept getting better!
7. Take Pictures and Measurements
Many people try carnivore for health reasons, but weight loss is often a big motivator. Take pictures and measurements (waist, hips, thighs, etc.) when you start. Progress isn’t always obvious on the scale, but your body may still be transforming.
8. Seek Knowledge
Understanding nutrition, paleoanthropology, and the healing mechanisms of the carnivore diet helped me make sense of this “crazy” way of eating.
It’s also helpful when answering questions from others about fiber, vitamin C, saturated fat, cholesterol, heart disease, and colon cancer. The more informed you are, the more confident you’ll feel.
9. Handle Social Pressure
Don’t do this for others—do it for yourself.
Starting carnivore is a big change, and friends or family may not understand it. Many people will try to convince you it’s unhealthy. Pleasing others won’t fix your health, and over time, most will see how well you’re thriving and leave you be.
Early on, it helps to prepare and communicate in advance that you eat differently now. Bring food everyone can enjoy that also suits your diet.
10. Find Support
Seek like-minded people for support. Online communities like the Carnivore Diet group on X or local carnivore meet-ups are great for advice and encouragement. Connect with others going through similar experiences—they can help answer your questions and keep you motivated!
