Small update on Carnivore

[Vladimir]

Within a month or so I fully adapted to eating fatty meats only - mainly beef and a little beet of pork. Zinc supplementation helped me to get rid of the cravings during the transition period - after 3 or 4 days of 60-100mg of zinc per day I started to feel satiated by meat only and then stopped supplementing zinc.

Positives. All anxiety/depression symptoms are gone, almost 100%. No cravings, hunger feeling is very gentle, stable energy throughout the day. The only negative - the energy level is pretty low, cannot do any exercise at all.

As soon as I added some magnesium supplementation, I felt energized for about 3-4 days but then the effect disappeared and instead I realized that cravings are slowly coming back, so I completely stopped magnesium again.

I am getting back to the purely meat carnivore now (got some cheese within the recent days because of cravings) and give it some extra time hoping that the energy will eventually come.

You didn't have low energy before the carnivore diet?

I did. But it was a bit different. On carnivore, for about 2 or 3 stable weeks my energy level was low, stable, but low. Before carnivore there were some rare moments - sometimes once in a week, or month - where I had energy, but everything else - sleep, digestion, anxiety etc. - was still very bad. Now, my sleep is acceptable and getting better, my digestion is better than ever, zero anxiety and none negative thought affects me in anyway - it just does not linger and I can continue thinking about productive stuff.

Probably, it just needs more time to fully kick in with the energy side of the diet, but so far I'm 100% I will continue my experiment.

And we will 100% do that famous saying, "Stay tuned for further developments."
