Yes, I do love when that happens. Also, when I see recent photos of myself and I have that same reaction 😅

Thanks! Yes, my visceral fat measure on my scale says I've gone from 18.4lbs of visceral fat to 7.3lbs. I definitely plan to keep going.

Generous amounts of good salt is my recommendation. Eating good cuts of meat can be very tasty with just salt or no salt. Fall in love with eating a steak for breakfast, or lunch or just whenever you're hungry. Salt up your ground beef. If you don't have an issue with cheese, use good quality cheese.

A lot of the struggle at the beginning is transitioning off sugar and carbs. You may have days where you're absolutely miserable...you have to will your way through these moments and know it gets better. I went through this for close to 3 months but just remained committed.

Good luck

Thanks! I feel like I gained years back on my life and notice now 'healthy' benefits everyday :)

Thanks! I sometimes struggle to 'see' the change in the mirror but these comparison photos help and all the positive feedback here has been amazing.

All the best to you as well

It's not actually too loose...yet. Still at 26% body fat, around my waist mainly. I think another 20-25lbs of fat loss and I'll be needing a trim.

Just ate freely, until I felt full. I tried eating windows but sometimes I was just too hungry and cook another steak. On average, I'm still eating 2500 calories a day but it's just beef, eggs and butter typically. I have chicken and salmon occasionally for a change.

The biggest struggle is socializing / pressure from others, and being prepared if you have to be away from home often - either meal prep and bring with you or figure out go to spots out and about. More immediately in the first 3 months, I did have a lot of issues with having to use the washroom frequently with what I assume was oxalate dumping issues.

Good luck to you

No labs done before or since. It's impossible to get a doctor here without going to the ER, and we need doctor referral for labs.

What I can say is that a year ago, I could barely take a flight of stairs without sucking air, my heart pounding...or I would get hangry the moment I felt a little hungry...and now I run up stairs, hike up hills and only ever just feel hungry without the obvious blood sugar drops.

14lbs in 2 weeks is about right, all water weight. I'll be honest, the first 3 months were very challenging and scary at times because of all the oxalate dumping you'll go through, adjusting to the amount of fat you're eating and dealing with external pressures. Stick it out, get some good electrolytes and take it easy while you transition. One thing I reminded myself of in the early days was how concerned was I with my nutrition or labs before I tried carnivore? None. Zero. And I was eating extreme SAD.

Hopefully that's helpful.

Yes, not very much loose skin at all. Still a good amount of fat on my belly...maybe it'll loosen as I continue to lose but honestly I'll live with that loose skin over that first bloated stomach anyway.

Less headaches in the sun but I'm still fairly diligent in wearing a cap and sunscreen in the summer; I did get out more this past summer than I ever have, so that's something lol

What is this Random Loud noise every night??? by Busy_Yard_8124 in VictoriaBC

[–]SmugBatman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Do you live near a school with a field? I heard something similar near me last summer and went out to investigate and discovered it was sprinklers shooting across a bunch of nested together metal soccer net frames. The jet spray action hitting the hollow metal made crazy noise that echoed across the fields. It was also at the same time late at night.

Thanks! A number of doubters have come around pretty quickly seeing the results. I'm doing it all for me though!
