    Haha, yeah, no broccoli doesn't have much in the way of oxalates, and celery is only good with cheese wiz lol.

    The oxalates come mostly from spinach, berries and milk chocolate :open_mouth: (at least in the American diet)

    Guess that means my chocolate spinach smoothie is out of the question then.

    Just weighed this morning at 225. Sorry I haven’t been on. 12 pounds down in three weeks! Pretty happy with it so far. Goal is 200

    I'm not quite carnivore but, I'm close. I ate 6 hamburger patties one day and lost weight for that week. I try to keep my carbs and sugars low, very low. I think around 50 carbs per day. For the first time in my life I feel I'm on a sustainable meal plan. I don't call it dieting, it's meal planning. Several carnivore diet doctors don't even count calories and some others that I have seen interviewed.

    I love this thread!

    Where is the fiber that helps you poop like a regular (no pun intended) person?

    As long as fat levels are reasonable things will move along without issues. I have done carnivore in the past and my bathroom schedules were exactly the same as before going carnivore.

    Why did you decide to go carnivore?

    I did a lot of research on it. First of all I have arthritis in my hands pretty bad and acid reflux. All the YouTube videos of people that have done this diet pretty much lose arthritis pain and acid reflux. I’m overweight as well and it’s been harder to lose weight and stay on a diet. Seen a 60yr old YouTuber that is on this diet and he lost 40 pounds in two months. Soo many people are going to comment on this saying carnivore diet is bad and you need vegetables. But not everyone is the same. Whenever I eat vegetables, I bloat bad and have gas. Love broccoli and green beans but after I eat them it’s rough. I honestly feel great right now. It works for me. After I hit my goal weight, I will probably slowly and with moderation bring back some carbs and vegetables. But at this rate I should hit my goal weight in a few months or sooner. I think part of why I feel soo good is because I’ve completely took out sugar. Everything nowadays has sugar.

    Keep an eye on your total cholesterol and ratios, this could put a strain on your heart and vascular system, even with the weightloss.

    I hope you are warning all the Vegans that they need to keep an eye on B-12 and protein.

    So far no carnivore has laid down in the road or painted Big Ben.

    I'm not the poster you responded to, but I will always mention B-12 and protein on a thread by a new vegan, if someone else doesn't beat me to it, which they often do.

    I just mentioned B-12, iron, and protein on a thread by a vegan :lol:

    As others have said, fibre is unnecessary to regularity if fat levels are sufficient.
