RE: Carnivore Adventures: Listening to my Body
Vegetarian, I never had a desire to be vegan and still don't. When I was vegetarian I felt better for a month, okay for a few months and then eventually I found myself eating fish. When I got active in life meat came back as I wasn't able to function without it despite cooking all my food at home, not really doing the fake meats.
Now I'm starting to understand the only way I currently know of to thrive is for me to eat mostly meat, if not only meat.
I see. I think the Vegan Diet is good for cleansing purposes but not for a long term solution. I've been Vegetarian for for 4 years and 2 of them Vegan. I recently introduced dairy and animal products into my diet. My Body definitely likes Eggs. I also ate some fish. I felt pretty good after it. I wonder how i would feel if I tried this carnivore diet for a while.
I agree completely. I went vegetarian but it was only a few months of feeling better before my body needed more. I also noticed brain fog more a lot as a vegetarian. I can say on a totally meat based diet the brain fog is greatly reduced and mostly psychological at this point
For how long you been doing this for? I must say, I still have a lot of brain fog. I think this comes along with veganism. Unfornutaley I'm living in India right now and it'hard to get "good" meat here. Mostly the people eat vegetarian. Funny because back when I was oliving in germany which is obviously a meat country I was vegan and now im in India and i want to eat meat. The Irony.
I've been at this a little over three months but there were points where I was still eating some carbs in the form of gummies, dried dates ect. I feel my best with only meat, salt and water and maybe a bit of plant matter for flavor like garlic or onion or herbs.
I found much brain fog has come from an inbetween diet with both carbs and meat the only point in which my brain fog lifted was when fully carnivore for nearly three weeks, and it comes back every time I have sugar even fruit so I just have to plan for that if I decide to indulge.
Perhaps consider a change of scenery to a more meat friendly place? I'm lucky that I live in Mexico and bone broths and meat in general are a thing here. I get great fresh meat from the butcher and I hear there are even better places than here.
Interesting that your fog is mostly gone when you're completely carnivore. Are you planning to keep your diet like this for a while? Or do you want to come back to an omnivore diet again?
Yeah, I definitely will change the scenery but I have to stay a little longer. For now, I will eat some fish if I can find good ones. I live at the coast but it's not that simple to get "clean" fish.
Yeah, Latin America is pretty good for meat. I've traveled around South America two years ago. And guess what!? I was a Vegetarian at that time. So I missed all that food. Stuipid me :D
