yea I get ya, I did that earlier on with my carnivore lifestyle also…I was like 'I need to do this trick or tip or add part of ‘this other plan’ into my carnivore and I woke up fast like you…what am I doing? LOL
Hey we are the super programmed eating lifestyle and diet tips/tricks and macro/track in the old days and people who research ‘health’ and eating and more types!!! Hard darn thing to drop truly but you will truly drop it in the end cause longer ya go on carnivore you truly find out you won’t need any of it IF we hold plan. Our bodies are amazing on carnivore if we keep the carnivore plan real ya know and keep it simple. The biggest thing on carnivore is your meat/fat intake ratio and that will be different on different days for each of us and I know you are working on what works best for you and doing great at it!! Super congrats on your success on this lifestyle KD!!
@VirginiaEdie Yea my mind went to scurvy also HAHA
I asked on the zero carb forum and they were like, NO it is not scurvy and said it was a detox adaption phase for many and I had a good laugh at myself cause like with scurvy we hear all about the teeth having big issues too funny!!!
@Shatz
yea you are me! I am uncontrollable around carbs. I can not be a moderator…I must be an abstainer and it is as simple as that for me. What carnivore did for me was quell everyday cravings but even in year 4 I can get hit with more rare cravings when I am ‘off or bored’ or out of sorts, or haven’t eaten enough but luckily I keep working on the mental game along with the physical changes that carnivore gives.
I had so many fights with myself…eat that crap…NO DO NOT GO OFF PLAN I would scream at myself and believe me I was a head mess for a bit cause I committed to ALL IN carnivore and don’t go back and yea it was hard but I stayed on plan, dumped all of the crap and never looked back because I made me a promise. Do whatever the hell it took for me…hardest was ‘knowing me’ and knowing I can’t moderate a carb for anything so I faced reality and grabbed onto the best plan that worked for me personally.
You are ok. You will go thru adaption. Have some head games hit ya around the holidays and more like alot of us had happen, but in the end, when you want something ‘bad enough’ you make it happen. Actions ya know…words are cool but actions speak louder than words all the time
@daigo1
I know…right I use a toothpick for my few teeth that are meat traps. Other than that I got those tight teeth and not much gets in there…but just like FB said…jaws were strong back in old days but I think alot of them had meat in their teeths all the time too
@FrankoBear
good post
sounds like you are enjoying your meals. It reads like you are feeling very ‘set in your carnivore’ meals and doing real well actually, happy for you!!
@Septimius
I like your post.
Difference for me on my ‘low carb’ diet and my ‘carnivore diet’ is that on low carb diet I was teased, could have ‘a few carbs’ and that never helped cause they were crap carbs to me, I wanted to ‘crappy better carbs’ in my life and of course I kept my blood sugar swings just keeping me craving more and more carbs…and to not eat and binge off plan was sheer willpower truly cause the blood sugar swings from eating those few carbs kept me in a very bad place.
On carnivore, off ALL sugar I don’t have the swings. For me personally it meant ‘that true willpower’ was not needed. What was needed those times was a good chat with myself when I did crave thru being bored, or ‘jealous’ of others at an event, or ‘the evil carb monster’ saying inside me, come on, have just a little LOL
key was I physically was not having cravings at all. it was a mental game at that point, one thing I truly didn’t need willpower to fix, I learned other thought techniques and concepts to say no, as simple as that.
When the physical body is off all sugar and blood sugar does not wildly swing in the body it makes for ‘a stable’ clear thinking future about what do you truly want to eat for your health and what it does take for you to succeed and you can consciously follow that path without any physical cravings beating you down. I love that about carnivore! It saved me, not one doubt in my mind
----------------So I batch cooked up more country style big ol’ fatty delish pork ribs. Loving them right now. Better than steak for me which is rare, but I go with the meat flow I am in love with at the time.
Ate the last of my burgers I batch cooked, will have to get more meat and fry up a good batch more.
Having the meat done and in the fridge and ‘on instant demand’ for me is working out very well. I didn’t and wouldn’t do this when I started carnivore cause I always wanted fresh cooked meals etc but now, I am falling right into this and it is working out just super for me, and the ease of it all is just wonderful! What I like is it took further ‘worrying about my meal choices and more’ off the table for me and I like that alot.
I am on carnivore auto pilot at this point and happy with it!
whatever that itchy weirdo bumps were are disappearing now…thank goodness. no clue what got me truly…but happy it is all fading and should be over with…at least the darn itch is gone
I also feel like no matter what ICK or sick or crap I might get hit with, being carnivore and stronger immune system I come thru things pretty fast and in good shape. Luckily I am one who is on that healthier side, knock wood! but feel carnivore gives me an advantage also!
Eat well everyone. Hold the zero carb faith!
