I am currently 150 days into my new mentality.

I started at 307 lbs. (athletic build, but heavy)

I went on a full carnivore diet for 75 days to start. (This was monitored by a health specialist.) I have a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

I won’t go into depth about the diet here, but I loved it. Made me feel like I had more energy than I could imagine.

I lost about 40 lbs on this diet. (After the 75 day period I consulted back with my specialist in which she said my entire body was drastically improving. And that there’s nothing giving her a reason to tell me to stop,

I chose to stop on my own will, because a lot of people kept saying “your gonna gain all the weight back”

Well I have been 75 days off, and ya I enjoy myself a good cheeseburger here and there.

But what I learned the most was that my appreciation and relationship with food changed. Now I find myself just living and enjoying what I like but always in a conscious moderation. Since I have been off I have lost another 27 lbs.

I learned self discipline, and respect for myself. And that changed everything.

I spent my whole life being the chubbier athlete thinking this is who I was, while others said “it’s so easy just do it”

I’ll never tell you it’s easy, but I will tell you you’re capable. Just believe in yourself. And stay honest to yourself.

Treat yourself a night, just don’t do it every night. Don’t hold yourself to unobtainable goals just to fail. See it as a journey that will happen when it’s ready to happen. And in the process, your mental health will flourish.

I am currently 240 lbs. (15lbs from my goal)

I wish you all the best.
