      @@WhSpRz587 I cant speak for the OP comment or not. But I can tell you from my own experience, I lost over 150 pounds, reversed type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, NAFLD, low testosterone, and came off of all my medications. My labs have never been better, and my A1c went from 9's down to 4.9 I feel better at 49 than I did in my 20's. My own mother at 66 started carnivore because of my success on it. She was diagnosed with stage 4 renal failure, kidney function at 29% and also NAFLD. After one year of eating steak and eggs/ carnivore. Her kidney function is now at 86% and the NAFLD is gone. Carnivore works.

    Started carnivore 8 days before my ortho appointment for my sore achy knees. 2 days before appointment woke up with zero pain in knees. Went to appointment anyway and told the doctor about the turnaround and without even thinking he exclaimed "nothing to due with your diet , just a coincidence" at that point i decided i will never see that doctor again.

    I've been on Carnivore for 9 months. I have lost 80 pounds. My A1C is now 5.1. My blood pressure now runs about 110/70. My Family Doctor has removed me from Metformin, Lisinopril and Amlodipine. The Carnivore Diet had been a life changer for me.

      The only thing I can truly say to you is eating this way is life changing. But remember to do it a minimum of 90 days, I find even more benefits coming each month that passes. My husband and I started eating this way in April. After that many months, I will cheat now and then with something that I want to eat….. and I will say I pay for it the next day or two on the toilet! 😂😂
      But cheesecake is so damn good 🙃🤷‍♀️
      I think in three or four months you will come back here and say how happy you are to change your life by eating this way it is completely transformed our whole family

We cut out meat over a year ago and have had nothing but weight and inflammation issues ever since. I’m battling gout right now. We are ready for a change. We accept the 90 day challenge and started today with wild Turkey for breakfast and ribeye for supper.

      I'm 63 yr female, on day 37. I took the challenge, aiming toward 90 days. The first 2 weeks I had diarrhea, which , I found out is common. Although some ppl complain of constipation. Eat lots of fat, butter, bacon, eggs and water. So many comments just kept saying, Stay the course. Keep going, it'll happen!
      I've only lost 11 lbs, ish. But I do have a bit more stamina/energy . I think I'm losing inches ( yes, that's a thing) not so much poundage.
      Done correctly, this lifestyle will work, for both of us, and many others!
      Stay the course!😊

    Here is my healing updated list. To those new to carnivore- Carnivore diet cured so much for me! I update this list as time passes so it is always up to date, newest items at bottom of list. I have been zero carb carnivore for 11 and 1/2 months.
    * No more perimenopause- completely reversed!
    *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself!
    *No more night sweats
    *No more waking every 2 hours at night!
    *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast!
    *No more life long eczema
    *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.)
    *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
    *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea)
    *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm
    *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
    *No more brain fog
    *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows
    *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more!
    *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight.
    *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing!
    *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well.
    *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 46 and look like I am in early 30’s.
    *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me.
    *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach!
    *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup!
    *no cravings unless they are for meat
    *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago.
    *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around.
    * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller.
    *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 40 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that.
    *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights.
    * no more body odor!
    * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much.
    *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that.
    * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things.
    *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing!
    *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing!
    * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too!
    *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before.
    *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides!
    *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone!
    *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore.
    *My teeth look more white on carnivore.
    *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome!
    *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone.
    * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 11 months.
    *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! (Newest update added!)
    *when laying still in bed to fall asleep at times I would feel dizzy or feel like I was falling through the mattress a bit. I would be laying still and get that suddenly. Felt weird and made it hard to fall asleep. Never diagnosed with vertigo, but it may have been that. I no longer have that since I have been carnivore, which is nice!
    *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance!
    *always had a little numb feeling on top inner corners of big toes. Never diagnosed. Now 1 year in I realized it is almost completely healed. I can feel the nerves in my skin.
    If I think of anything else will add. ☺️👍🏻
    I know when people go on carnivore they are trying to heal something, but if they aren’t like me and notice small things- they may not notice they are healing way more than they realized- things plant foods were causing! And they need to remember, processed foods are made from plants- but so are whole foods (raw or cooked!) they are all toxic!
    The carnivore diet cures! ☺️👌🏻 The body is a network made of multiple gears- and if one gets messed up it causes a whole domino affect of problems like I had! The carnivore lifestyle is not a fad, it’s the ancestral human way of eating! Go Carnivore for a few months and see how you feel! ☺️👍🏻

    I just celebrated my one year carniversary, 60 year old female, started at 215 pounds on a 5.3 tall body. So miserable and lifeless, just trying to get through each day with all the extra weight and looming health issues. A year later, have been steady at 145, feel like I am 40 again, I love meat and I actually crave steak and eggs. We raise our own chickens so the eggs are fresh. I don't think about food the way I used to that is for certain. I used to live to eat, now I eat to live. And down to one medication, hoping to be off it soon!

      I had stage 4 throat cancer, and that was my reason for going on keto. I'd had 2 radical surgeries 3 days apart, and I was very fortunate that they were able to remove it all. But I knew I had to do my part in making sure I did everything to prevent it from returning. I lost 15 kilos and improved so many issues that had crept up over the years. I am 66. I have been free of cancer for 6.5 years.
      I fell off the keto wagon a while back and started feeling my body and brain, aging quickly, so climbed back onto that wagon. Recently, I did a 3 day fast with Dr Mindy Pelz, eased back into eating (keto) then started the carnivore diet last week.
      I wish you all the best ❤
      What I believe to be important, is to have faith that you are going to be healthy and well. And every day, have a moment of gratitude, even if it's appreciating the birds in your yard, or the love of your pets, a sunset, or anything beautiful that makes you smile. Also, as my youngest son wisely pointed out, Mum, you need to stop and smell the roses.🌹
      Take care, and don't be afraid to heal yourself 💜

      After the brain, tumor removal, that pituitary stalk that connects with the hypothalamus, is gone. So after the surgery, I started the hormone replacement, which means that I had to take six hormones a day for the rest of my life, and I still don’t feel great. Definitely I’m gonna try this carnivore diet. Your comment has inspired me.

      ​@@thirstywatersfreeaudiobookshabitual things and expected feeding times are part of human biology, so expecting food vs being hungry is a subtly different feeling. I usually go for some water if I think I'm hungry and sometimes that fixes it. I don't eat fully carnivore, but few years in and I eat stuff like plain Greek yogurt, 18% cream, and most of my calories come from meat. I cut down on the fat quantity a little, as adding it in was more than enough. Cheap lean ground beef, sausages that are half off, eggs, sometimes I'll have chicken and pork and make other things with some carbs like chilli or such, but I never have grains of any kind. Sometimes some fruit (that I pick off the plant) and some veg like cabbage, onion, carrot, squash. Eat 2-3 times a day usually. Just go by hunger. My roommate lost 100lb and now is 160lb like myself, at 6'. I transitioned to basically eating a lower carb version of what my great grandma and gramps eat and still have them alive and driving today. Notably, they don't have sugar nor much grain, these days at least. It's always meat with a side of veg when I visit.

It took me a while to realize these where bad because my Dr kept saying they where good. That and always think of portion size. Instead of a huge scoop of stuff like rice or Mac salad just have a little 1/4c to 1/2cup size scoop. I've been sneaking organ meat into our meals. Mostly beef heart and liver ground into our hamburger. I try and mix 1/2lb heart and 1/2lb liver with 4lbs 80/20 hamburger. No body knows if I add more heart meat but if I add to much liver I get complaints. 🤣🤣 My diet support system kind of sucked too. I got told "It's OK, just a little or just this once won't kill you!!!" So I cheated a little every once in a while. Once or twice a week. Eventually even a little doesn't sound good. Like you know how it's going to make you feel icky after eating it. I still eat hamburgers on a bun. I just try and double up on the meat, cheese, and pickles. If it affects me I feel like I ate a brick. Real heavy in my stomach. It also took a wile to slowly eat the garbage food we did have. I was raised to never waste food.

I now am getting readings in the 500’s but won’t call my Endocrinologist because they will just increase my insulin again. I can not even walk anymore and I never could convince them I was eating low carb. I have felt so hopeless.He mentioned you can not treat Hyperinsulinemia with insulin.

    I started this on June 1st. I'm 57 and 5'11" and had spent the majority of my career sitting behind a computer which led to me hovering around 220lbs most of my adult life. Due to a layoff and other circumstances, I began driving a semi truck in 2017 thru fall of 2021. Those four years added sixty pounds to my already overweight frame. Last year my father died and I've been stuck in a hotel dealing with his estate since - the combination of which led me to eating a bunch of garbage (chips, cookies, microwave meals, etc). I never weighed myself, but I'm quite sure I was pushing 300lbs by May of this year. I had bought some t-shirts in March that were 3x and after getting home felt awful realizing I probably should've gotten 4x as they were tight.
    Again, June 1st I went 100% carnivore. I leaned on pork rinds more than I probably should've and ate those, hard boiled eggs or Braunshweiger as 'snacks' (I see your video here says no snacks, so I failed on that). I had bought some Harley T-Shirts back in January that were 3x - when I got home I realized I should've gotten 4x as they were horribly tight. So, I was amazed that after about 60 days into Carnivore, 100% other than snacks as mentioned I was down a full pant size. To be clear, I was really probably down 2-3 pant sizes as the pant size I started with was very tight and I hung over the belt line pretty terribly.
    I went to a concert two weeks ago and had to buy a nice shirt, slacks and a sport coat to attend. I had travelled a few states over to the friends house who started me on carnivore. He and his wife were thrilled to see my progress. We went to the store and I automatically headed to the big-and-tall section when my friend stopped me and said I'd probably fit in a 2x shirt. I laughed it off, but went ahead into the dressing room with a 2x shirt. I was shocked to find that it fit comfortably with no worry about wearing a t-shirt underneath it. I was flabbergasted!!
    Some of the things I've noticed in the last few weeks:
    1) I don't even care about the carb loaded crap I used to love. I look at the things I used to be drawn to and it doesn't even whet anything in my appetite at all. It's nothing to just keep walking down those aisles at the store.
    2) I had severe allergies the last 15 years. I would wake up every two hours because my sinuses were clogged and my mouth would dry out as a result. Now, I still suffer a bit from allergies - but NOTHING like I used to. I can sleep through the night now!! That is HUGE!! I'm down to having sniffles, sneezing a bit and blowing my nose 3-4 times a day during this season change. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
    3) I just noticed I can bend over and tie my shoes without holding my breath first!
    4) I can wrap a hotel towel around my waist and it doesn't fall down!
    5) I don't have to pull my pants up every 4-5 steps like I used to, I don't have to pull them up at all!!
    6) Many aches and pains I associated with getting older have disappeared or have been significantly reduced.
    I still have a long way to go to get to my ideal weight, but I know following this Carnivore diet is going to get me there!! I have watched a number of your videos over these last few months and I appreciate all the information you are providing to us newbies!! It's very hard to break the societal norms of what is considered 'healthy food' and your channel is one of the ones that I relied on to help me unlearn what I had spent an entire lifetime learning.
    My buddy and his wife started just over a year ago and are huge fans of yours as well. We just got our boss to start Carnivore today - we saw him last weekend and seeing really is believing (when he saw us and did a bunch of double-takes)!!

    I encourage folks to get a nice notebook and a cool pen at the start of this personal experiment! Start by documenting your WHY? - be as specific as possible, include every motivator, concern, issue that you're looking to leverage and/or deal with by making this change. Keep track of how you're feeling each day - physically, psychologically. Anything and everything you notice. Include bio markers / blood work results (good to get a baseline set of labs!). Resist relying on your memory to help you appreciate how you're progressing. Draw pictures! Add inspirational learnings / quotes / people that you've encountered that support your decision. Keep the notebook handy! During 'tough' days, take time to pour a glass of water, sit down and reflect on your notes, this will usually work to reinvigorate your efforts!

Study how your bod reacts to certain foods. That is my best advice! Keep it up. This is a comfortable lifestyle change. Easy to maintain and have foods around the house that are easy and delicious.

Occasionally, the first few weeks I would have sugar attacks once a week I would sit down with a pile of ice cream, and then it would be over with, after about four weeks I no longer craved sweets, and had absolutely none, I had severe gout in my toes, wrist and even my neck, the doctors gave me pills for a couple years, never changed anything, five weeks after carnivore I never had an attack again, not one, to this day I don’t even have any discomfort it is 100% gone, I learned a lot of how to eat carnivore from you, sir - thanks!!!!!!!! Also, I eat very little cheese, I eat a lot of Irish butter. Also, beef, tallow, I get all my beef from a local butcher, and he throws in straight beef fat from cuttings. I like to eat and munch on sometimes, I am eating 50% fat 50% meat, I don’t like chicken or fish. I pretty much just stay to beef fat and a lot of farm fresh eggs. Absolutely not pasteurized from a local farmer also - thanks so much brother you save my life!!!!!!!!!!!

To no cane, walking quickly, going up and down stairs easily, glowing skin, tons of energy!! Literally a miracle!! I did alot of research on intermittent fasting, after 16 hours not eating counting sleep time, your body produces stem cells, which heals your body, the inflammation went away from not eating sugar and any wheat or starch.
    I went back into old eating habits loving bread and pasta being italian, and eating sugar. Im back to square 1 !! Knees pain, low back pain, lower energy, difficulty walking up n down stairs. So back at it started today.

    My progression to carnivore started years ago when I was 275 pounds and decided to stop drinking sugary drinks. I lost 25 pounds in a month.

    I regained 15 because I couldn't break the carb addiction using artificial, zero carb sweeteners. Turn out, I need to abstain because I can't moderate. Now I've been strict carnivore for a week and lost 10 pounds. Can't wait to break my sweet tooth and never go back.

His snoring is nearly gone, his voice is getting deeper (which makes me think his testosterone is going up), and he's got so much more energy. My skin is the clearest it's ever been, fine lines are diminishing (I also use tallow on my skin, so that probably helps), my periods are completely painless. We have so many non-scale wins, I could be here all day. My husband is 34 and I'll be 35 in December. We're so grateful we decided to give Carnivore a try! It's been life changing and life saving

    It works for me. I'm 72 YO male, 6ft tall. I hit 250 six months ago and it was my breaking point. Ive always been pretty strong and healthy even when I was overweight (obese). I got to the point where I not only looked fat, I felt like shit and was sleeping in the daytime which I had never done.
    I had attempted keto and had success but I wasn't emotionally prepared. This time I was and I managed to drop most of the extra weight. I'm very close to breaking the magic 200 pound on my way to 185/190. Breaking the carb addiction was and still is is a challenge but it's SO worth it. I don't know if or when the day will come where I can eat a damn cookie again without consuming the whole package. I will just deal with that as it comes up.
    Eating 2X a day was simple for me. It's just skipping breakfast. I transitioned into OMAD easily after a few months. I was fortunate enough to have some major construction projects of my own to keep me busy all day so I was less likely to eat out of boredom. I never got hungry. Within a couple months I was getting full eating just two pieces of chicken. I used to put away an piece meal complete with all the sides.
    I was only low on energy for a couple weeks in the first month. I lost 20# the first month, 10 the second, 10 the third and then a couple hear and there. I am easily maintaining the past couple months after losing almost 50 total.
    TONS of energy, acid reflux disappeared in the first two weeks. A bunch of other random skin issues have cleared up as well. I could not button my size 38 pants and now I'm in 34's. My old XL shirts hang off me and L's fit great.
    This worked crazy good for me and it's quick and cheap. I don't do the grass fed beef. I do 1.79 a pound chicken thighs and hamburger. I ate a lot of bacon in the beginning but I kind of lost my taste for it.
    I forgot to mention poop. It was brutal for me in the beginning. my gut health wasn't good or consistent at all before I started. After I started I actually pooped myself a bit. I was out working in the yard and misjudged the urgency :) I could see someone wanting to give up at that point but I knew it was just a temporary thing. Now my gut health is better than it's EVER been. I marvel almost every single day when I have a nice super clean poo. It's a great way to start the day :)

My BP has almost normalized. I have stopped the beta blocker and my Losartan dose went from 100 mg to 25 mg now. I no longer need a cpap to breath at night. My tongue and throat are thinner now. I have lost 65 lbs. Yes I fell off the potato and pistachio wagon a few times so a few things are still a wip but.. It is day and night in nutrition. I eat mostly meat and meat fat. I no longer hurt from all the preservatives and carbs and plant anti nutrients. I had no idea oxalates were even a thing. Now I find out I am super sensitive to it. It wasn't Fibromyalgia. It was plants and processed foods and sugars. Allergies gone. Brain fog gone. Sleep is better. Energy is better. Depression and mood is better. I am not just doing this for the weight.

I just took my labs exactly 3 months to the day Dec 21 and my current A1C is 5.5 today! BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER! THANK YOU DR BERRY. My fasting glucose also dropped from 114 to108.

I do allow for occasional cheat days like tonight and I’ll eat a little dark chocolate. So far I’m ok with this diet. Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers were unsustainable for me. I enjoy eating the meals I prepare. Most days I’ll prepare a green or tomato salad with avocado olive oil and wine vinegar. I’ll stay on this for another 6 months and make an assessment. I just don’t think a 100% carnivore is in my future, although I can honestly say I’m probably close to it.

      What I've found is having a cheat day once a week keeps me on track. I personally cannot sustain eating just meat 100% of the time. The cheat day has two benefits. 1, it tricks the body into doing a reset so I won't plateau. Doing this kicks me out of ketosis but I'm right back on it the next day. 2, it helps keep me on the diet since psychology I know I'll be devouring yummy carbs before too long. Tacos, pizza, spaghetti. My cheat day is 24 hours which starts Thurs night to Fri night. Saturday thru Wed and all day Thurs it's meat only. I'm not a Dr so take my advice with a grain of salt but it works for me. Been doing this for a long time and I've lost a ton of weight and my bloodwork is amazing. I should also add that I drink 2 glasses of red wine daily. That's really my only carb intake other than my cheat day

I tried carnivore after no other diets helped. Within 9 days I noticed significant changes and they kept coming. My lifetime migraines and insomnia resolved and haven’t had one in 15 months and all other issues I mentioned resolved as well. This diet has restored my mental health and I have energy again.

I will forever love the program and be grateful.

Now, thanks to you and Dr Chaffee, et al, i am slowly getting better. My new reason for being carnivore is the same reason a koala has for eating eucalyptus. It is our optimal food. I have to fix me. Meat is doing that.
    Thank you so much for bringing this information to the public. I hope you reach everyone. Even if they don't change, at least they will know the truth. You are saving those that need and want to save themselves but don't know how. That is noble.

    After chemo therapy I have suffered from severe neuropathy and have lost feeling in my feet, legs and hands and am basically wheelchair bound. Neurologists want to start infusions of anti-inflammatory drugs. I feel that it’s time to try the natural way of healing, not with more drugs with who knows what side effects. I am committed to the 90 days and see what happens. Thankfully I can stand enough to cook my meals and am excited to see how it goes!

    Started at 264lbs twenty-two days ago. Weighed in at 242lbs yesterday. Joint pains have gone away, fat is going away rapidly, sleeping better (deeper sleep and need less), and have more energy overall. At 23, this is a good plan to help me make the change that Ive been needing.

    I have been doing ketovore for past 10 days. I thought I was doing carnivore but after binge watching your videos, I realized I was unknowingly doing ketovore. I am going to transition to carnivore next week (3rd wk) because although I'm feeling 100% better, I want to experience the difference (now that I know which is which). I have my husband doing this with me (he knows absolutely nothing about either) lol. But he's happy and also feeling much better. Thank you Dr Barry for doing what your doing. You are helping a lot of desperate people like myself. I will keep y'all posted on progress. Currently I'm at 291 5'7" with medical issues I know will be fixed just by how much better I feel in just 10 days.

      Thanks for sharing! I'm in a similar boat with thinking I was doing carnivore but more doing a ketovore. I'm only on day 5 and already feeling the best I have felt in YEARS. I will also be transitioning to full carnivore as the cheese in the house runs out 😅 (it's too expensive - and delicious! - to throw out)! Can't wait to read your update in a couple months! 🎉😊

    Yes, carb withdrawals are a very real thing. Mine were horrible and lasted for two weeks. After a month, I felt so good I was amazed. Little did I know that the healing would continue for many months! Now, over three years later, I will never go back to carbs. I am not a wildly strict carnivore. I am very meat heavy ketovore. Experiment, and learn what your body likes and dislikes.

      I tried the carnivore diet back in January. I was doing alright for about 10 days, except my stools were infrequent, small, and greasy. Then one evening, almost suddenly, I started getting chills, felt dazed, and had no energy. I went to sleep and woke up the next day with the worst diarrhea of my life. At this point I was eating non carnivore foods. Strangely, I was craving fruit, which is weird because I never really crave fruit, except on hot days, but this was in the middle of winter. The diarrhea was horrible. It lasted for over a week. I had to have a 5 gallon bucket next to my bed at all times.
      I wasn't doing carnivore to lose weight. I'm actually pretty skinny and probably need to gain weight. I did it because I have acne that I'm trying to get rid of and because it just makes sense to me as being the healthiest most natural diet for humans to eat.
      I want to try carnivore again this autumn or winter. If you or anyone else has any tips on how to transition smoothly, I would greatly appreciate it.
      By the way, I still have acne. I started taking cod liver oil daily, which has helped to reduce it a little, but it isn't enough.

      @codyburt6536 For most, an instant 100% diet change is only symptomatic for a few days. Individual metabolism, however, can be very different from person to person. Since the rapid change went poorly for you, I would recommend a more gradual change. Start with a very keto diet. Count carbs and keep your total daily carb intake below 50. Give that a few weeks. Then turn them down lower. See how your body reacts and adjust accordingly. Each of us has our own happy spot. For me, my body is happiest when I keep my carbs below 20 gms a day. Yours will probably be different. Just get started and don't be afraid to adjust it to your Individual needs.
