I have been carnivore for a little over a year, since 7/28/18. Although I’ve introduced some veggies (avocado, cucumber) in the past 3 months, just for taste and variety, I am still 90% carnivore, and I was 100% carnivore for 9 of the 12 months.
Here are the benefits I’ve seen (I have noticed no downsides, apart from elevated LDL, which I don’t really believe is an issue):
– 40 pounds lost; weight and BMI now within healthy range (first time in decades)
– better energy throughout the day
– better and more sustained mental clarity and brain function
– better mood, less anxiety, less bouts of melancholy, less reactive
– blood pressure down
– off 2 of the 3 meds I was taking
– HDL up, triglycerides down, HDL/tri. ratio much improved
– no more sleep apnea
– various other minor improvements (no more skin tags, no more foot pain, no more indigestion)
The carnivore diet has been a huge blessing in my life. I’m very grateful to Dr. Baker and all of the other people who have helped get the word out.
