Yep, sorry 
Yeaa, Iām not very good with rules, including my own 
Now and then there is a beer or some other poison like mushrooms.
Not hiding it, honesty means more to me than being mr perfect.

oh I get you cause I am like you Vic. I KNOW what little I can have that is not carnivore and I pick and choose my very rare occasions I do go off plan. And I admit them just like you do 
you are fine and cool and all good truly, you aināt getting no weirdo vibes from me from what you are doing.
I am going on vacay in April to the beach and I KNOW I will be taking a few big bites of my husbands crab cake cause hell, I wanna LOL and I will write and say itā¦only thing is I want new people vs. us older carnivores to know there is a time line we know what we can have, what little we can allow and doā¦but I never want anyone to think this aināt no carnivore full on thread, cause it is and your pics and food, carnivore all in 99.999% of the time!!

@SecondBreakfast Hi, I was wondering how you are doing on the probiotic, because Iām thinking about trying one. Loose bowels are now the opposite. But feeling good in spite of that!
I think the nausea I felt the other day was from a vitamin pill so I wonāt be trying that brand again for a while. Or, it could have been from the Swerve I put in my coffee. Developing an aversion to that, and for the first time, I fully enjoyed a coffee with heavy cream this morning ā unsweetened! I think Iām done with the sugar alcohols!

strong text just a side note for new people. do not eat mushrooms 
Yeah I wonāt be straying other than maybe with spices like ginger and rubs for meat ā¦I got an appointment on Thursday morning with Dr Cywes So thats even more incentive to stay on trackā¦
Iām actually looking forward to hearing what he thinks of My labs he ordered ā¦ and get more tips he is so full of info I want to soak in as much as I canā¦

Maybe Iām asking for TMI, but once you adapt you may not need to relieve your bowels as often with carnivore. We utilize so much of what we eat, we donāt need to poop as often or as much. Are you truly constipated, or just not needing to go as often?

very very true on this. we are us. I poop every morn like clockwork the meat I ate the day beforeā¦always been that way with IN and OUT but it is absolutely SO natural for many carnivores do go like every 2-3 days and that is the normal for themā¦good thoughts on that one.

Last month I mentioned my histamine troubles. Someone on another site to which I belong suggested lamb kidney since it contains DAO. I finally tried it today. It is better than I was expecting. Definitely has a milder flavor than liver. Itās got a firmer consistency, too. Itās definitely something I could eat a few ounces every few days to get the vitamins (which are similar to liver) and the DAO.

Kidney update: Wellā¦ a small piece fried up in a pan was one thing. Cooked up in a beef and kidney stew was an entirely different matter. I couldnāt stand the smell or the taste. Itās been a long time since a food made me gag, but the beef and kidney stew did just that. 
There were times as my kids were growing up that if a meal didnāt turn out particularly well, I would say, āJust remember: food isnāt to be enjoyed, itās to nourish our bodies.ā Those words of wisdom did not work on me me this meal. I just couldnāt eat it. 
But, I am glad I gave it a try.

@Wendy198 Pretty sure the probiotic is helping. Had more, uh, āmovementā in the last few days - but not anywhere near what it should be. My lower back is really beginning to hurt, likely from pressure. Iāve been drinking several glasses of warm/hot water daily with a squeeze of lemon juice. Read that is suppose to help. It sure did the first time I tried it. Also taking Magnesium citrate- which usually does a dandy job- but is -for whatever reason- really not doing much. I was hoping all those things, working in concert, might flush things out. What I know the probiotic really did help with was my sleep patterns. Its been great since I began taking the capsules.
I cut out sugar alcohols, and if I must have a sweetener- I go with liquid stevia. There is no powdered dextrose in the liquid- so - I like that. Very efficient since it only takes a few drops to do the job. But, I really donāt need it now. My coffee concoction is just coffee, HWC and MCT oil. (Sometimes I add a raw egg- and blast it with the immersion blender - and it becomes the Liquid Chicken Latte.)
I added in a bit of steamed broccoli with butter with my steak yesterday, in hopes of having more āroughageā to move things along. Didnāt work until late today.
Today, I had seasoned ground beef and a tiny bit of shredded cheddar, probiotics, magnesium, coffee, water w lemon, and more ground beef.
Been off work for three days, but have been busy anyways. Friday, I dropped the kiddo off at school, went shopping, then cleaned house and cooked a full, massive dinner for 9.
Saturday, cleaning, built my indoor shelving for the indoor greenhouse, put in the grow lights, and potted some lettuces and beets for my hubby. Did more potting today after church. I planked for a while too, which I think probably helped my gut more than anything else Iāve done. HOping the progress continuesā¦

Hello everybody,
Iām starting a carnivore trial. Thatās my second time trying and Iām already feeling the same problem as before.
I hope being in this thread will help me stick to it.
For the moment, Iām eating eggs, salmon, shrimps, chicken and porc. A little side of 0 carb cheeses. 4 days of that. Itās boring and I miss a little green something on my plate, but I can live with that, if it does something good to me.
Strangely, Iāve put on a little over 1 kg (about 2 pounds).
Iād like to add butter and mayo to the food. Would it still be carnivore if I did? As it is, yesterday I had to force myself to chew the food.
The cheese: is it cheating and I should cut it?
Iām craving lemon juice, but seeing as there are carbs in lemons, Iām assuming I canāt have that, right?
In another thread I was told I should stop exercising at the beginning of ZC. But thatās not an option. Iām fighting depression and exercising always makes me feel better. So, what could go wrong if Iām exercising? If itās just feeling weak, Iām already there, since Iāve been eating very low carb* for a little over 1 year.
As for how I feel, except for having to force me to eat a plate of food I donāt feel like eating, I donāt feel anything different from a week ago, but I understand it takes time.
Happy carnivoring, everyone!
*(I call it very low carb instead of keto, because Iāve never done the fat bomb thing, nor the special fat coffees)
