Yes, I am full 100% carnivore. 6-8 hr eating window. 3000ish calories a day. Everything I consume had a momma. Beef and deer (and other occasional undulates) make up the bulk of my diet. Chicken, pork, fish & shell fish are like appetizers or salads that compliment the main red meat course. Eggs, usually boiled, are also in the mix. A can of Wild Caught bone in sardines a few times a week. Home rolled beef or deer jerky. Bacon (of course). Home rolled collagen rich bone broth (beef & chicken feet) everyday. Home dedicated beef liver. 1 cup or so of raw milk and a little bit of home fermented yogurt and kefir and the occasional slice of aged cheddar keep the lactochad gut happy.
The most noticable benefit is I now only require 6 hours of sleep. My energy levels are on point. No loss of stamina, power, muscle mass, libido or motivation. Meaningful movement in and out of the gym everyday. I'll have my labs done next month and shall share with anyone interested.
Right on, thank you.
I am interested in your lab results, please make a post about it.
How long have you been on carnivore?
I'm 2 months in this time. I've done straight carnivore before but had some deal breaking gastrointestinal unpleasantness and loss of strength last time around. Transition periods are always a bit of a bitch, but some are flat out untenable. This time was a comparative breeze, but I had been carni-centric for a couple of years. To transition fully, I just dropped the fruits and fermented veggies, backed off on the cheeses and ramped up the meat ante.
My labs (just snapshots on time, really) have historically been stellar. Total Cholesterol is high, but my ratio is rockstar. My doc is a buddy of mine and knows my lifestyle, so backs off on the Standard Of Care song and dance recommendations. I've had an arterial plaque scan and scored a zero. Testosterone was over 1000 last time I checked. I'm in my mid 50s. Diet, exercise, recovery, mind, body and spirit are all pieces of the puzzle that it is incumbent on each of us to dial in or pay the price if inaction. This meat exclusivity thing seems to be working out just dandy for me right now.
Nice, that's awesome.
