Carnivore Diet
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2020 8:37 am
They had me at Carnivore 
Since fixing my sleep and now very rarely getting less than 7 hours sleep a night, normally 8 I’ve decided to try something different.
Now the carnivore diet is high in red meat, dairy, butter, fat L, eggs and salt. Organ meat is important as well. I can’t understand how this works but I’ve read about Jordan Peterson’s daughter had no end of physical and mental issues which have nearly all gone due to being on a pure carnivore diet. This was severe arthritis (my gran has suffered terribly since her teens, claws for hands, all joints knackered) depression mainly. I don’t believe it will work but a few people I think haven’t got a pill to sell (gullible me possibly) are very positive about it.
Now my reasons are mainly for muscle ache, I’ve always had it my entire life, I have on average 4 hot baths a week due to muscle pain on various diets and training etc. On my last trip away I only had meat and rice for 3 weeks, then one night had a pizza and a following gut explosion and then a crappy night sleep due to lower back pain. I’ve done calorie controlled diets, healthy meals, no processed food at all, low in red meat, fish etc but have never really found anything I can follow easily as I have a big appetite and hate salad . When I was training 10 hours a week as a young man I was on 3500 calories a day and was 91kg and 15% body fat using the calliper method.
I have been back training again and do 3 heavy sessions a week when as a younger man I could do 5, this is probably down to age (very very likely) but I’m hoping this has an affect.
I’ve always had low cholesterol, good blood pressure, relatively low heart rate (62 last night when sat in a chair) and have been relatively fit cardio wise so I’m not dying or anything
So, this is a way of keeping track of what happens and how I’m feeling, all the food I love is in this diet so it should be easier for me to follow
So each day I’ll just say what I ate the previous day and how I felt the next day.
4th March-
Breakfast - 6 egg scrambled egg, 6 pieces of bacon for breakfast cooked in butter. Could have eaten more but just didn’t feel like it.
Didn’t feel hungry at lunch.
Dinner - 2 rib eye steaks at half a pound each.
Slept well, didn’t need a pooh as soon as I woke up, woke up well.
19 stone 10lb
Poke fun, join in do whatever you like, I’m as sceptical as most people
Dave!
