I started this officially on February 23, 2023 after a couple of weeks of on and off dabbling.
Results to date:
- After three days my back stopped yelling and stayed that way for 10 encouraging days. Then I took a few golf swings and it started yelling again. It was screaming yesterday.
- Correlation does not mean cause, so I can’t say that carnivoring resulted in 10 good days, but I can hope. Today I’m discouraged that it might not.
- Since starting carnivoring, I have lost something very near to my heart – man-boobs. Fifteen pounds is a lot to lose in just a couple of weeks, so that surprised me. I don’t really have a goal for weight-loss, but I could / should lose thirty, and would like to lose fifty total. I’ll shoot for thirty to start with.
The diet:
- Meat only.
- I’ve had mostly steak once a day but have had some chuck roast and hamburger patties and some breakfast sausage and bacon.
- I’ve munched on beef jerky and Bavarian Meats dried sausages. However after four or five days I’ve found that I’m not hungry for breakfast or lunch. I start to get a bit hungry by mid-afternoon, but I ignore the hunber until dinnertime where I don’t eat much. Half servings of what I normally eat, because I don’t really feel hungry.
- Drinking lots of water. I should put some toys in the restroom like my grandkids do, to keep me entertained since I’m in there a lot. Occasionally drink coffee, tea, and just started LMNT, an electrolyte mix.
