As a life long binge eater, being addicted to food, and now diabetic…I find not snacking or “taste testing” key. Once I start, it’s hard to stop. So I’m learning discipline. I feel best best on carnivore and get super excited when my ketone levels are high and blood sugar levels are low! However, I don’t share what (when or how often) I eat with family, friends, or even my doctor as they wouldn’t get it. But I feel at my best now and have lost 50 pounds in the last 3 months. Enjoy your videos and find them very informative!
Snacking and peer pressure! Yup, big challenges to being healthy (especially in our culture of junk food that doesn't get questioned) Sounds like you like your results, and how you are feeling! Way to go!
I had a lot going on when I started eating carnivore. I noticed it took a bit of time to adjust my energy levels, at first I felt like meals didn't "feel like they were working" to provide energy, and my appetite took some time to adjust. Low electrolytes hit me hard in the first several weeks. Becoming Fat Adapted is awesome, it is totally the goal! Hang in there, you might try shorter hikes that you can do and build up gradually. On OMAD I now work out 20 to 22 hours after my last meal. Fat Adapted unlocks energy that is not available for a Carb Adapted physiology! If you think about it, reply in several more weeks. Let us know how fat adapted does for you
had to back off full carni and add some carbs. been reading that full adapth can take months. my job requires pretty intense hikes up steep slopes. will need to regroup, maybe reduce carbs over time?
