Back on Carivore

My diet stalled out. What am I going to do? Give up and face that I am going to be overweight.

Friend

I have a friend; yes, it is hard to believe I have a friend. He went on the carnivore diet and lost a ton of weight. The last weight I heard, he was at 217. Yea, 217 freaking pounds.

He is dedicated to eating well and following a diet. Like everyone, I am sure he has issues but has stuck with them.

Carnivore

I started this back in May 2024, and I lost 30 lbs. I was feeling good and looking different, and people were beginning to notice. I was like, yeah, I can do it. I could do it. Then I hit 286, which was 30 lbs down. My AC1 was down. Then it just stalled.

Life

My life went to hell, OK? Maybe that is a harsh way to put it. But I lost my job. Don’t even get me started on this part of it.

Depression set in, and how I cope with depression is I eat. My form of eating isn’t good food. It is

Sweet foods
- Candy
- Cookies
- You know, that type of sweets
Savory
- All the salty things I could get my hands on

However, I didn’t eat a whole bag of Salt-n-Vinger chips, my favorite. I used to do that all the time. Instead, I would eat a bag of licorice or a box of Hot Tamales, Mike and Ickes, Whoppers, etc.

As my life was messed up, I did the only thing I liked to do. That wasn’t good for my diet.

I have gained 10 lbs, my AC1 is up. I have to figure out how to get out of this rut.

Carnivore

That is why I am going back to the carnivore diet. I still eat six eggs and six pieces of low-sodium bacon daily, which usually keeps me from eating until dinner.

But then I don’t have a good dinner.

But since I am returning to a Carnivore diet, I love eating the food that is part of that diet, and I am feeling good.

So, as of this post, Jan. 15, 2025, at 11 AM MST. I am back in Carnivore. I have the food, and I am ready to go.

My Goal

It is to get down to 210 lbs. They say that weight I am still obese. I don’t know if I will ever be able to get down to 165. But I am shooting for 210 right now. I need to take it one step at a time.

Even though my life is still a mess, I am determined to get a job. I haven’t found one yet, but one will come. But when? That is the question I ask myself every day.

Coping

You can’t let the food run your life. Yes, life is hard at times. But you can’t punish yourself by eating horribly. That will just continue to play into your depression.

I will give you a bi-weekly update on my progress. This will most likely come out on Wednesdays. I am not sure yet. But hit that subscribe button in the bottom right-hand corner to get on the newsletter.
