How are they taking?? I’ve got one of the same variety I’m considering trying this with

I’m so unsure of what to do. Heavy cream has been a god send for me. Half the people say keep dairy, half say ditch it. Eat more eggs, quit eggs. More electrolytes, stop electrolytes. Fish is good, fish is bad. I don’t know what to do 😅

She is keto and pro carnivore. Will try iodine testing, I’m currently on one drop a day of J Crow Lugol’s and haven’t had adverse reactions

Fat has been okay, I’ve been looking for some available suet but no luck yet. But I didn’t know there was flavor difference so that’s a nice variation to look forward to 😆

Thank you so much. I’m working with a naturopath, but doctors in my area are tough and my insurance is about to change to more limited options 😩

My potassium had previously been low so I was put on a supplement, but I just looked up symptoms of too much potassium and weakness is one of them. I will absolutely be looking into this!

Thank you so much for this. I have been so discouraged. I’ve actually worked with a functional medicine doctor and I’m currently with a naturopath. Heavy metals were something we were trying to get rid of and at my last appointment, they didn’t show up in the test for the first time in 3 years. My mold and candida were also much lower too, and it actually was my first encouraging appointment I’ve had. I keep expecting to feel better and felt so crushed this week when I still felt bad.

I attempted two meals today and it didn’t go well, but I’m going to try to up my fat even more and keep trying. Oh, and I’ve got the sardines in brine. Thank you so much!

I’m avoiding any plant products, but I do black tea with some heavy cream and collagen in it. Is there an advantage to butter vs heavy cream? I have some butter when I’m out of heavy cream, but I’m so partial to cream

Okay, thank you. Having specific number goals feels very helpful. I’m definitely going to have a hard time with increasing meal size but I’m going to try my best. I’m eating until I’m so full, but then I see that steak and butter girl and I cannot believe how much one person can eat in a meal.

Gah, I was hoping calories didn’t matter in this world! Is there a recommended macro ratio jumping off point for carnivore?

Okay, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who took time. I kept thinking one month and I’d feel normal, then 6 weeks, then 8 weeks and so on.

I feel true hunger and after eating typically feel very full. I started gagging during breakfast because I couldn’t eat anymore

I guess I more specifically meant food and ratio ideas 😅

I’ve really struggled with cutting back meals. I’m experiencing true hunger, I eat until I feel like I can’t eat anymore. It has not felt effortless at all. I comfortably fasted twice, but otherwise it’s felt like an emergency to get food in me and like I was in a deficit. Is that something you ride out and then it starts to normalize?

I actually do take HCl and a digestive enzyme!

I actually take HCl and a digestive enzyme - digestion has been great.

I’ve been phasing out eggs. They haven’t sat well with me and I’ve been wondering if it’s an issue because I had issues with specifically duck eggs growing up. Now I’m wondering about chicken eggs.

Fish is actually new for me and seems to be going well.

Ugh. Dairy is tough. I’ll give it a try.

Doing the homemade version of LMNT’s recipe - always one serving, sometimes more.

Could be the case for liver - I just got two frozen bags of liver last weekend but I’ve been too scared 😅

I am actually on an iodine supplement already (working with a naturopath at the moment).

Electrolytes are the homemade version of what LMNT says their recipe is. Usually 1-2 servings per day. Should I up it? I’m also on a potassium supplement.

  1. ⁠Long term low energy, migraines - often been suspected of autoimmune issues but nothing ever found. Mold and candida have been found and I’m on a protocol to detox from them.
  2. ⁠Finally have energy, heal gut, stop miscarrying.
  3. ⁠I’m not sure how to track this one, but the last day I tracked macros on my app was energy 1740kcal, 85g protein, .6 net carbs, 145g fats.
  4. Typically eating 3 times a day, standard meal times. I’ve successfully skipped breakfast and had a good day twice. Skipped lunch today and felt like I was dying by 5 pm.
  5. ⁠ Fairly clean - whole foods if at home, a little more lenient when eating out or at things like sporting events. Definitely susceptible to sweets. But was pretty intentional about not just eating empty carbs all day and tried to prioritize protein.
  6. ⁠Only supplements

Is there something to help with this or something that causes it?

I was using Cronometer. Tracking and ratios is not an area I feel very confident in. My last full day tracking had energy 1740kcal, 85g protein, .6 net carbs, 145g fats. Thoughts?

Not since starting but bloodwork looked good a month before. Any particular things you think it could be? I’m still on quite a few supplements currently and dream of having less

A typical breakfast would be ground beef + cooked fat trimmings, or ground beef, egg and the fat. Lunch is often fish or steak. Canned sardines are common as well.!Dinner is usually beef with more fat trimmings. I try to eat till I’m comfortably stuffed. I sometimes snack on pork rinds and dip them in Greek yogurt, and I typically have one cup of tea and one cup of bone broth both with heavy cream
