Anyone here eating Carnivore?
I was eating Keto, but finally just decided to get rid of all plant products. So now it's just meat, fish, fowl, eggs, butter, cheese, and water.
I do eat questionable items, which someone might say isn't strictly Carnivore.. mayo, garlic powder, and black pepper, although I am weaning myself off of these.
It would help, if someone who had done this a lot longer was here, because they know what I am doing.
I have the same issue when talking to other low carbers.. I find myself thinking fruits, veggies, and nuts are off plan, and have to switch my thinking when I respond, to remember those are perfectly fine.
So I understand when even most low carbers really don't quite understand what I can or can't do, in detail.. or know for sure how to help me.
So I figured maybe someone else might be doing Carnivore, and simply talking about low carb, which is similar enough, but hesitant to talk about a diet which they feel no one else might be doing.

I am a long term carnivore. I think I am at 8 or 9 years now. It could be 10. I really should go find my start date. Hell, for the longest time I was "The Carnivore" here. I think my guide to carnivore is still the one linked in the pinned discussions. LOL. I am not on here as often as I used to be. I have a new job and it's keeping my occupied most of the time. But, you can friend request me and send me a message if you ever need to talk. Those will show up on my phone app before I get around to checking posts in here.0

That was written almost 6 years ago. And, I was already a carnivore for a while there. For a long time I didn't talk about it on here. When I started, it was very fringe and unheard of. Basically, it was considered pure insanity by most people, even the keto people. So, I just pretended I was keto and didn't mention that I wasn't eating plants. By the time I wrote that post, I was already open about how I ate and wrote it to answer common questions.
Aww, some of the images are ruined there. There was a great one about Cartman complaining about lack of side dishes... now it's some meme image. Oh well.1 -
I remember the Cartman one, hilarious, especially as that was my first foray into carnivore I think and I was pondering the concept of not having sides with my meat.
Wow, such a long journey for me, amazed that I finally made it. I had no idea how deep my mental and emotional food issues were and how much they would derail my progress. Just happy to have finally got there and actually getting my health back.2
