Backstory

For a while now, I haven’t been feeling my best. I’ve noticed my body sending me warning signals—small signs that things aren’t quite right, and I’m determined to listen to them before it’s too late. I know many people turn to the carnivore diet for similar reasons, and some are dealing with far worse health issues than I am. For me, it’s about prevention. I’ve been feeling the effects of poor food choices and lifestyle habits over the years, and it’s clear that my body is crying out for help. Every time I eat grains, I get horrible acid reflux, and my sleep is disrupted as a result. The next day, I wake up feeling puffy, with a lingering acid sensation in my chest that just won’t go away. It got to the point where I wasn’t even enjoying food anymore; I hardly ate out of fear of how my body would react. Yet, despite barely eating, I still weighed around 210 lbs, which just didn’t make sense to me.

Looking back, I think this all started after I went vegetarian in 2017. Around that time, I developed chronic acid reflux, and my body never really recovered. It was also a time when my anxiety was at an all-time high. I had a panic attack and hit my highest weight ever, which was a wake-up call. Clearly, a vegetarian diet was not the answer for me. Since then, I’ve been searching for a way to feel like I did in 2010 when I did Keto. Back then, there weren’t as many “Keto” products on the market—aside from a few Atkins options, I was eating mostly whole foods. My diet was meat-heavy, even though I did still incorporate some veggies (though, to be honest, I was mostly just craving the meat). I felt amazing during that time—mentally clearer, physically lighter, and I was almost at my goal weight. But eventually, I started reintroducing unhealthy foods, and my progress stalled. Since then, I’ve been chasing that feeling again, but with the explosion of processed Keto products, it became harder to get back to those roots of clean, whole food eating.

So, after years of struggling and trying different approaches, I’ve decided to go cold turkey and heal my body with the Carnivore Diet. No more grains, no more processed Keto junk—just whole, nutrient-dense animal foods. It’s time to stop trying to fit into diet trends and focus on what actually makes my body feel its best. This is my attempt to reset, repair, and reclaim that thriving version of myself.

November 21st – December 1st (11 Days)

I didn’t notice any major changes, which is why I didn’t log daily this time. The days are starting to blend together. I feel that my body is still adjusting, though—my stools are still looser, and they activate pretty much right after I eat.

Also, I decided to get this weight scale along with my measuring tape. I thought it would actually be interesting to see weight vs. measurements and observe the difference between the two. I really do feel like my body is healing something, but I haven’t noticed much “weight loss.” I am interested to see if the measurements tell a different story.

I got sick just before Thanksgiving too. Before starting Carnivore, I rarely got sick. But I was just recently sick in October, so that’s really strange to me. Maybe my immune system is adjusting/healing, making it more susceptible to sickness? It’s just a cold, but it’s pretty annoying since I hate being sick. It’s not something I’m used to, so I tend to become a baby about it.

December 2nd – December 3rd

Still sick, but this is also the first time I’ve felt nausea. I’m not sure what triggered it (it’s not my cold), but I felt really off-balance going into December 3rd. Sadly, I also feel myself getting tired of ground beef. I’m still sticking to it as best I can, but I know I need to add different flavors, like bacon, just to get through this phase of meat aversion.

December 4th

I’m officially done with my first month of being on Carnivore! I seriously can’t believe it’s already been one month. Time really flew by! As you can see from my measurement chart, I lost inches almost everywhere—except my thighs and one calf (laughs).

Conclusion

I’m honestly so happy to have lost about 2 inches in both my waist and my hips! My hips are definitely the part of my body I want to reduce the most, as that’s where I carry most of my weight. But overall, I’m happy with how I’m feeling. I don’t know my starting weight, but my guess is it was around 210/215. As of today, I weigh around 206. Definitely not my ideal weight, but the most important thing is that my body is adapting and healing in ways I may not even be aware of. Month 2 of Carnivore, here I come!
