Now on day 160 on #carnivore. Almost done half a year. You know, I worked at Diet Doctor for a couple of years, went to USA and filmed events about low carb health events. Tried for years to get a keto diet to work for me, but it never did. I thought I had some problem with consuming fat or something, cause I never had enough energy to fully work out in the gym and run and sprint. Even after trying for years. So I jumped off and paused low carb for many years. Tried carnivore twice and animal based once, but got such insane diarrhea I fainted from stomach pain two of those times. If I had only known... The third time I tried carnivore, I did it after reading Dr. Shawn Bakers book where he said to adjust slowly. Don't go cold turkey with carbs and veggies. So I transitioned eating veggies and some carbs each Sunday. Until I stopped after a month. No stomach pains or diarrhea. And getting enough energy, took time. Almost like you're training up your body slowly to work out on fats instead of carbs. The first times, I wasn't so fast or strong. One time, I even figured I need to carb up and did so once with rice porridge. Thinking I would have to do a carb up once a week into the future. But then, all of a sudden, when I didn't even expect it to ever happen, I felt I didn't need another carb up. Now the energy is here. And is non-stop. With OMAD that I started last week, my energy is crazy good all day. A little slower after the big meal, but that is fine. Half day was super focused, hard at work, anyways... Just wanted to tell this story, because this wasn't easy! But now I feel so happy that it is working. Why? Not sure, you just gotta have patience and trust the process. I guess it all comes down to reading. Getting the knowledge to understand our ancestors lived like this for millions of years over the ice age, eating mega fauna like bison and mammuts. How tribes like Masai, Inuit, Aboriginals thrived without metabolic disease, cancer and tooth decay. How Genghis Khans bloody army created the largest empire on Earth, on a carnivore diet while on horse back. How the Spartans became so incredibly strong. It was meat. It's not natural with this insanely sick society of obesity and sickness. Onwards!
