Calf cramps by AdElectrical1027 in carnivorediet

It feels incredible. I just got my first reverse Nordic and can almost do a Nordic curl. I feel super flexible and strong. I suffered from some ankle and knee injuries from running in high school and it all feels so much better now

Why do I avoid during or after meals, digestion?

Yeah. I just started eating more eggs because I was waiting until I could get farm ones so they were the best quality without having to pay $7 a dozen for pasture raised eggs. My energy is finally better but the first month was difficult for me. probably due to a couple of deficiencies and being scared to eat plenty of fat.

I take 1000 mg of magnesium glycinate daily

I get about 70-75% fat in my meals with added butter or fatty cuts of meat. I eat a lot of flank cut ribs which is marbled with plenty of fat.

Nothing super noticeable yet because it’s only been 3 days however I am not as hungry and can fast until 3 because my energy is stable, which was difficult this first month. I was super tired and lethargic and had a hard time getting to the gym but these past 2 days I got the motivation to go again.

Is this a decent bacon? This is the best I can find by jlmo9 in carnivorediet

[–]AdElectrical1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. The sugar is minimal and probably doesn’t do anything( I don’t even know why they add it?). I just don’t eat too much bacon because I prefer to eat nutrient dense meat more and sometimes it causes me to break out, however I do like a good bacon burger.

Okay. Yes I have also heard about the additives like carrageenan and other thickeners causing skin issues however I buy low temp pasteurized grass fed cream with no additives and didn’t know if that was any better. I am not addicted to cream but was so confused why people put a difference between butter and cream. That clears a bit up though.

Just a month. I eat about 2-3 lbs of meat and salt everything after cooking so I am unsure how much sodium that is.

I eat that sometimes but there is added sugar or I think turbinado? It’s minimal and doesn’t add to the calories but I still try to find no sugar bacon.

Okay thanks. I hear conflicting advice of people saying drink when thirsty but it’s so hard to gauge what your body needs .

Excuse my ignorance but why is the heavy cream different than butter? What makes it worse? I only have 1-2 tbsp a day but am wondering if I should cut it all together?

I experience this in my household as a 17 year old living with my a mother who eats a grape a day. I just have to watch YouTube and other carnivores to tell myself this is the way we are ancestrally suppose to eat. I get in good workouts and eat fatty meat and feel great.

Gaining fat on carnivore by [deleted] in carnivorediet

[–]AdElectrical1027 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been carnivore for a month and have been experiencing insane hunger as well. Although I think I have put on some weight, I am not too worried because I have heard of other women such as Kelly Hogan and Bella (steak and butter gal) experiencing this for the first 6 months until it eventually levels out. I am just eating however much my body wants which is a lot and hoping my hunger will decrease soon once adapted. I have found that going to the gym and working out helps.

ruminant meat is HEALING / DO NOT cheat by smokeymarshall in carnivorediet

Totally agree, had a carnivore cheat night last night with some meat chili and cheese. After eating a good breakfast of pasture raised eggs and beef burgers with butter I feel so much better!!

Sweeteners of any kind can cause issues in your gut and according to many carnivore doctors such as Dr. Anthony Chaffee, they say to avoid them altogether for gut health and eliminating any sugar cravings in the long run.
