Going carnivore sounds absolutely insane.
🔪 It’s restrictive
🥱 It’s boring
💲 It’s expensive
My family has watched me be vegan, vegetarian, keto, and now I was entertaining the other end of the spectrum - Carnivore. They knew I had pain, but they didn’t understand how much. I’m outwardly a very confident person, they didn’t think of me as being a person who would beat themselves up.
They didn’t truly understand how dire the situation was. And that was my fault.
Everything I read regarding this diet working for those with auto-immune diseases and inflammation due to weight and arthritis, deepened my resolve. However, I knew I was going to have some hurdles.
There were two to be exact. Can I do it and how am I going to do it with 3 generations in the house - one who is judgemental.
Can I do it? My thought process was that I needed a reset and that I could do ANYTHING for 90 days. Everything I listened to and read said that doing a re-set was the way to go.
Again, I can do anything for 90 days. One hurdle, resolved.
Next, I announced what I was doing to the family and that I was starting immediately. I was met with varying responses:
You do what you need to do to get better.
Well, what the hell are we supposed to eat?
I don’t know how to cook for that.
What do you mean by no spices or vegetables or oils?
How will you shit properly, you need fiber.
Thanksgiving is just in a couple of weeks and then Christmas. Have you lost your mind? (maybe)
The second hurdle, not so resolved and wouldn’t be for many months. But that’s okay, I can do anything for 90 days and I would give anything to be pain-free.
Speed forward to today. Just a few days before hitting the 365-day mark and I am feeling amazing. 🥳 Not only am I out of pain, but my body moves, my brain is firing on all cylinders, my blood work is phenomenal, and no more beating myself up.
Nothing could taste as good as I feel.
In the next few Sunday posts (paid version), I am going to go through the changes that have happened to me. I will also go deeper into certain areas of my life, like brain fog.
🧠 I had no idea I was in a fog until I made the change!
