Just saw this video. Most discusses what he would have done different starting KETO. I think you will get a lot of information for this.

Thanks for that link. I think I’m kinda rocketing along trial and error lessons. When I get into something new, I obsess about it for a few weeks, researching and learning everything I possibly can, and then I start to settle into my conclusions.

It’s kinda like my clothing changes years ago. After a certain life event, I decided to simplify my clothing choices, so I got rid of everything and bought some tan chinos and a bunch of long sleeve, button down shirts. Done. I don’t even think about what to wear anymore; clothing is just something I put over my skin to be modest and to look presentable.

I think I’m getting to the point to where I no longer want to find any comfort or excitement in food, but to find a few things to eat, give thanks for those few things, eat and be done with it.

I’m starting to think that carnivory may be a better fit for me than keto. If it turns out that I decide on full zero carb carnivore, can I still stay in this forum? I like it here.

You absolutely can! Zero carb/carnivore is a specialised subgroup of keto. Some argue that you can do carnivore without it being ketogenic, but personally I think that is pretty hard to do. 99% of carnivores are ketogenic.

There is a carnivore section on this forum, and regular postings by carnis like me.

Sure, we have a carnivore thread for every months, it was super lively before, now it’s not so much and there was talking about stopping… Help me save it, it’s useful for me even if I do very little carnivore nowadays. But I try to stay as close as I comfortably can (it can be enough for me personally, it’s just easier to slip) and at the moment I am on carnivore day #2, not just carnivore-ish (that’s when I add tiny extras, almost no carbs but plants beyond a little spice)…

I consider carnivore keto as it has low enough carbs for it. Never understood the talks about carni not being ketogenic but I don’t really care as long as my body and mind (I mean cravings and stuff) feels best there…
