In the past the hardest part was the side effects. I only lasted thirty-five days because of how sick I got. Now... I'm just very reluctant to try again. I've worked so hard to become the cook and baker that I am and I really struggle with the idea of giving it all up. I know that is not a good reason, but it's what I am wrestling with.

2 months in and I still haven't figured out a "good" balance of what to eat. My favorites are Steak 🥩 and eggs 🥚 With bacon 🥓 a few days a week. Finding that I'm really not a fan of chicken and ground meat anymore. 🤔 Pulled pork and pork chops are good. I love breakfast sausages and Italian sausage, even different bratwurst. Just hard to find without a bunch of additives and sug

My husband has cancer so eats what he can and wants, which is often soft and starchy foods: mashed potatoes, puddings…. Sometimes he just wants us to eat the same thing and I feel guilty eating food he can’t. With the holidays there’s pressure from family to “just have a bit” of traditional favorites. I haven’t gained any weight and am down almost 40lbs with a goal of 10 more. 🙂

Sorry to bother you,Allow to post my case and share my cannivore story: I have been eating a carnivore diet for over 11 months. However, for over 12 weeks, I have been eating only chicken thighs (roast chicken most of the time). I am Brazilian and here in Brazil, red meat is very expensive due to the increase in inflation. I have lost some body fat, but only in the initial 3 weeks. (I have gone for over 3 months without losing body fat eating red meat) I eat 1.2 kg of chicken thighs for lunch and 7-9 whole eggs for dinner (in a 6 hour window). I still have at least 4-6 kg of body fat to lose to reach my goal of getting below 15% BF. (My weight is +-80 kg) I am 35 years old, 180 cm tall and I go to the gym 3 times a week. (I do resistance training to help build muscle and lose body fat) I am around 20% BF and would like to get below 15% BF. I have all the trouble losing body fat on the carnivore diet. (I have not lost much body fat in my carnivore experience. Regardless of whether I eat meat or chicken) Let me ask you a few questions about the carnivore diet, in my situation: 1- Should I start using the CICO model to lose the last 10-15 pounds of body fat that I still need to lose? 2- Can someone follow a cannivore diet if they can only afford chicken? 3- What would you recommend for those who only have the financial resources to buy chicken? Or for those in this situation, it might be better to not follow a carnivore diet. Maybe a ketogenic diet? PS: I am a healthy man with no health problems or chronic diseases and I started the carnivore diet to improve my body composition (mainly to lose body fat) without starving myself or counting calories (CICO MODEL) Thank you very much!

I'm the only one in my house on a healthy eating plan, no matter what the plan. But it's not the temptations as I've been over that for years. It's just the lonely feeling sometimes. Like here I am eating burgers while everyone else is eating foods making them sick.,

The hardest part for me is staying with my inlaws for the holidays and how awkward they make it when I’m buying and cooking separate food for myself and kids 😖🥴
