    All that protein! Lol
    In my experience its not the protein, but all the extra hydration & fiber. I can have a very low protein day and still cause the digestive gas problem by having 2L of water & a small bag of dried apricots.

    I've noticed a lot of people telling me not to lose any more weight. I am not underweight and know I usually feel better with another 10 lbs off. But it's just weird that people either feel self-conscious or if they don't like me being smaller than I was, or if they've only known me while I was at my heaviest? I've come across 3 people now who actively tell me "not to lose anymore weight".
    I've lost 27 lbs in 4 months on carnivore and feel great.

    I don't know. 1 person saying don't lose more weight... I'd say just shrug it off, they're not used to seeing you smaller. But 3? That would give me pause. But I can't say, because I don't know your stats nor can I see how thin you are. So, in the end, do what works for you.

    You posted great pics in the photo section, you look great!!! Since you are active and are at the lower end of "normal" I can see why you are getting comments. !30 puts you about on the edge, try a trial run of "maintenance calories" at 130 and see if that's what you want to do for the reast of your life compared to Maintenance calories" at 140. That should help you decide.

    Thanks so much! I'm very happy with my results so far, and feel great. I live in the far north (Yukon, Canada), so I'm not wearing the bathing suit out in public - we're still in sweaters and pants and had snow yesterday lol.

    Thanks for the tips on the maintenance calories once I hit my goal. I'll definitely try that. I know I need to add in lifting some weights to put on some muscle, so I'll be upping my calories to gain in that way a little when muscle is added. I know not to base where I want to be solely on the number on the scale, but rather how I feel and my strength.
