I actually reached this goal in July but life has been crazy to follow-up with it here ;)

So I guess that means I need to reset the next goal, eh?

I am going to choose a much smaller goal since I remember my speed swimming weight to be 185 lbs from 40 years ago. Let's see...hmmm...okay, new goal will be another 20 lbs and then will go from there.

Sound good??

Sounds good!!

I am still in an Aircast Boot and ROM Brace on my right leg from an accident I was in 9 weeks ago so I think that weight number is below 200 lbs but I won't know until all the gear is removed. Currently, it can not be removed. But inspite of that I am still loosing weight while continuing being Carnivore 90% of the time. I have added in a couple of vegetables back into my diet namely raw onions, raw garlic, green & yellow beans and asparagus but those are not on a daily basis. I have removed most cow dairy from my diet and when I do indulge in that, it must be lactose-free. I have learned that I don't react or have very little reaction to goat dairy so I am slowly exploring that option.

Hi everyone,

Currently I am not weighing myself as I am sporting an AirCast and full leg brace due to multiple fractures in my right leg. I am not going to go into too much detail as there are legal stuff pending that I don't want to mess with, but long story short I was hit by a car moving backwards as I was crossing the street with my rollator. I have a right leg proximal fibular fracture + tibial plateau fracture as well as a possible broken ankle/foot.

I am still testing my fasting blood sugars and I am still mainly Carnivore for my diet. But it appears that it will be at least another 4 weeks or so (already 4 weeks in) before the cast/brace will be allowed to be taken off. Since I am not allowed to do any weight bearing on the right leg, I've had to learn how to transfer myself from chair to walker to bed or to commode. I'm developing muscles fast in my upper body to do this. The last time I weighed myself I had reached 213 lbs. Once I am fully healed from all of this, I will be doing my usual posting of weight & measurements.

But I hope all of you are having a blessed day day, week, month!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!

Fasting Blood Sugar: 5.3 mol/L
Fasting Blood Sugar avg 30 days: 5.3 mmol/L
Weight loss, 31 days: 5 pounds
Inches lost, 31 days: 10 inches

I went into this 3-month Carnivore journey, breaking it down into one-month cycles , to see if:
1. I could actually do it and last the full 3 months/90 days
2. Was the hype true or not
3. Could I remain off my meds

I MADE IT!! lol
I survived & thrived the full 90-days of this journey!!
The hype is true (at the very least, personally true).
I have remained off my meds & in fact did not take any Cholestyramine during March.

So my 3-month Carnivore diet has accomplished the following:
21 pounds lost.
30.5 total inches lost.
Went from a size 22 pant to a size 16 pant and technically lost a bra size as well.
My IBS-D/BAM has settled down some but still a long road to go to be under control.
My diabetes daily fasting numbers are settling in nicely to the 4.9 to 5.5 mmol/L range. I used to be up in the 6-7 mmol/L range before the start of this journey.
And I have learned that I need to keep on my compression socks at all times except for bathing or doing laundry. If I don't wear them then my weight dramatically increases due to inflammation/edema and a good part of it is caused by my varicose veins. And I'm talking about a 20lb increase if not more just because of this.

Going Forward

I plan to continue my journey of doing Carnivore my way. I have started to introduce certain herbs/spices as I tend not to thrive without them. I need a flavour profile in my food. I have also changed my mayonnaise back to olive oil based but all home made; no store bought stuff. I did try the carnivore mayo's but my body reacted badly to the recipes I tried (IBS-D/BAM). I have also learned that there are some fatty meats and/or heavy fats I can't do. I also seem to have an issue with some dairy but not all. Heavy cream I can't do but 10% cream I can. I also make sure I am adding Lacteese drops into my cream box, although not officially diagnosed with lactose intolerance, it does help. This is a want & not a need for me to be able to drink my coffee and is something I won't give up. Certain cheeses I react to whereas others I don't.
But this is where I am at, having to try to balance the fat/protein ratio in regards to my IBS-D/BAM.
Eventually & further down the road I may introduce some veg's back into my diet and switch hit between carnivore and ketovore. But right now, as I am trying to heal my gut, I think it is better for me to stay on the Carnivore road with a few alterations.

And this leads me to my final thought this month. Each individual must take their own road accordingly. It's fine to read people's opinions and voice your own on this but, only you know your own body. And as long as you are listening and making adjustments to fit your needs, then no one can say you are doing it wrong. Just be honest with yourself!

Have a great day, week, month everyone!!
Remember to be kind to yourself - and your journey is yours and yours alone.
But we share here to keep ourselves accountable & to support one another!!!

First meal today consists of 2 cans NN Chunk Light Tuna (packed in water), scant 1/4 cup homemade mayonnaise & 1 tsp of homemade Spanish Onion powder & salt to taste.

Approximately 80 grams protein.

Now, I have tried making the various carnivore mayonnaise recipes out there but my body does not deal with it (IBS-D/BAM). So I've gone back to using extra light olive oil (the more expensive stuff too) to make my mayonnaise which my body tolerates more. It keeps me away from the seed oil (canola) and the other stuff they use to make the commercial stuff more palatable while allowing me to enjoy my tuna.

My son bought me a food dehydrator for Christmas 2023 of which I have been experimenting with and of course various types of onions are on the list. The flavour is exceptional when comparing it to the store bought onion powder. Same goes for a lot of stuff I've dehydrated.

Ultimately in the end, we decide what we put in our bodies & what we don't. And for me, this is a good meal.
