My goal for the remainder of No Nonsense November is to reach the 150s and maintain that weight. This will be a real challenge for me with Thanksgiving approaching, as I need to lose 5 pounds to achieve this goal. The good news is that I've already reached 159 once this month, so I think it will be quite possible to get…

Hey everyone, I've been absent without leave (AWOL) from this thread since September, but I'm back now and excited to hear your thoughts on healthy lifestyle choices again. I'm currently on day 166 of my Carnivore experiment. I initially decided to try the Carnivore diet for 60 days, but now, I'm 5 months and 16 days into…

I have completed the sixth week of my Carnivore experiment, and I have reached my goal body fat. I'm also in close range of my weight and visceral fat goals. I have committed to 90 days of Carnivore, which is 63 days so far. Goals for Step it Up September: Weight– 155.0 Body Fat - 25% Visceral Fat Rating - 15 Results after…

I've embarked on a Carnivore diet for the past 8 weeks, originally planning to stick with it for 30 days. After reaching that milestone, I decided to extend it to 90 days. I'm excited about the September Set It Up Challenge as it aligns perfectly with my 90-day goal, bringing me within 3 days of completion. Additionally, I…

It's been seven weeks since I started the Carnivore diet. My weight loss has slowed down, but I'm still satisfied with my progress. I believe I've become fully fat-adapted, meaning my body is primarily burning stored fat for energy instead of glucose. As a result, I've noticed a change in my body composition. While my…

I completed my sixth week as a Carnivore and I'm pretty satisfied with my progress in terms of my weight, body fat, and other measurements. However, what makes me even happier are the non-scale victories I've achieved as I enter my seventh week. I'm surprised by my ability to avoid carbohydrates for the last seven weeks.…

This is my 6th week of following the Carnivore diet. I've tried various diets over the years to improve my weight and body fat composition and address other health issues. While I've experienced short-term success with many of them, I always returned to my old way of eating. These past restrictive diet attempts resulted in…

My name is Stormy, and I’m addicted to carbs. For most of my life, I have been hooked on sugar, caffeine, and many other highly processed foods that are part of the Standard American Diet. I've tried to break this addiction multiple times but failed every time. However, in the last five weeks, I've managed to give up my…

During the first week of the Carnivore diet, I experienced rapid changes in both my weight and blood pressure. Rapid weight loss is common when starting a…

Today marks day 30 of my Carnivore experiment. I initially started this trial as a 30-day test to address my arthritis. However, in the spirit of our All-In theme, I've decided to extend my carnivore experiment to 90 days. Therefore, I am committing to the Carnivore diet for the remainder of our All-In August challenge and…

Stormy here again. I am a Fathead! This comes as no surprise, as our brains are made up of essentially 60% fat. One of the first things I noticed after starting my Carnivore experiment was the remarkable improvement in my mental clarity and memory. My brain fog lifted, and my memory sharpened. It's truly inspiring to see…

Hey, All-In Gang! As of today, I'm on day 25 of my 30-day Carnivore diet experiment. I decided to try this diet to see if it helps with my arthritis. At 74 years old, my joints have been getting achier with each passing year, so I wanted to take a radical approach and eat only animal products for 30 days. During these 25…

Hey, All-In Gang! I'm ready to go All-In on this first day of August. I started the Carnivore diet on July 8th to see what all the hype was about. I was skeptical that eating nothing but animal products was a good idea! However, after hearing so many testimonies promoting Carnivore, I decided to try it for 30 days.…

@rileysowner , I know exactly how you feel. I count my yard work as exercise. I play softball, pickleball, and bowling and, of course, count those as exercises. However, nothing gets me more tired and sore than yard work. Mowing, trimming, picking up, and getting rid of yard waste is far more difficult than any sports I…

Hey everyone, I've been focused on "Getting Dat Rear in Gear" for the past week. I started the Carnivore Diet last Monday, and so far, I've lost 10.4 pounds and 2.4 inches from various body measurements. I've also managed to kick my soda habit and limit my coffee intake to one cup daily. I've noticed an increase in my…

@baconslave, on your advice, I applied to join the “Low Carbers Carnivore Club” and included your name as a reference. I am admittedly an optimist, so take my words with that in mind. I have only been on the Carnivore diet for four days now, but I lost 7.8 pounds in that time. I played a doubleheader of softball and two…

My goal for July is to "Feel Better." I want my joints and bones to stop aching. Pain in my neck, back, thumbs, fingers, and toes has plagued me for years, and I would like to reduce or eliminate it. I want to regain some of the flexibility and range of motion I once had. I am starting to feel and look like an old man.…

I have been mostly following a keto diet for a couple of years. However, I am currently less strict about it, and I am ready to get back on track. My wife wants to go back to a stricter form of keto with low carbs, whereas I want to go full carnivore and cut out carbs completely. So, today, we started our respective plans…

April1: 175.4 April 2: 174.4 April 3: 172.2 April 4: 172.0 April 5: 171.6 April 6: 172.4 Wrong direction this morning. My wife is dog-sitting for a friend and I'm home alone. OH NO!!!!!

Yesterday Donna quoted: @stormywxs288 You've posted a 2.2 lb loss, not 0.2? Congratulations that you are no longer in the Obese catagory! Today Stormy says: Thanks Donna! I forgot to post my April 4 weight which was only a 0.2 pound loss from April 3. You were also correct in pointing out I did change from the Obese…

April1: 175.4 April 2: 174.4 April 3: 172.2 Played pickleball outdoors for the first time. It is a different game dealing with the sun, wind, temp and cement surface. Harder on my leg joints but still great exercise for balance and mobility. Plus I got to play with some players with skill levels way better than mine. Fun…

April1: 175.4 Here we go April! I've had a bit of a setback over the week of Easter by gaining well over 5 pounds. I used the excuse of the holidays to abandon my eating routines. So, starting in April I will return to intermittent fasting with an 18-hour fasting period and a 6-hour eating window. I like this routine. I…
