During the month of December, I felt so good giving up gluten on this journey towards Carnivore. In the mornings, I was waking up without pain, and with a better overall mental state. I had the holidays to look forward to, and I was packing for my move back to my hometown. Eating steak was a joy!

Then came January and the move. Days before the move, I was filled with anxiety. “Do I really want to do this, even though I know my company would be good for my mother?” “What if we can’t coexist well? How long will this part of my journey last? What if? What if? What if?” The negative thoughts and emotions were just flooding me. So instead of giving up sugar, I kept the sugar.

February saw me with a flu and maybe even oxalate dumping. I had given up most vegetables and all fruit. I was eating my 1 carnivore meal a day, along with a carb+meat meal as my 2nd meal. Then I suffered from dehydration or low electrolytes, and needed to up my salt intake. My mindset was just down, down, down, during this time also. I was eating gluten and sugar during this time, and I felt like junk, the same as pre-December.

The addition of gluten in February resulted in zero fun. The taste was good temporarily, but even then, I had gluten that tasted like nothingness. It fed the addiction, but what was the point? All I did was mess around, and find out it wasn’t fun or worth it. I feel exactly the same lethargy, blah, meh, that I did before finding out about Carnivore meals. Gluten really is my foe, and not a friend.

Having tested multiple carnivore, meat-dense meals over the past 3 months, I can attest that I feel great eating meat-based. The processed foods don’t leave me satisfied, and they seem to trigger my “need to feed” where I just mindlessly overeat. My overstuffing and overeating increased when I ate gluten and sugary treats. All for a temporary food addiction fix.

But tomorrow is March 1st. Instead of taking one more month to ease in by really giving up sugar and gluten, I’m just finally going to start. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I want vibracy, clear-headedness and energy coursing through my veins. I want to give up my addiction to processed foods, gluten and sugar. I want to eat clean, simple, animal-based meals that leave me feeling satisfied and energetic. I want to wake up each day thankful for another day of life!

So I give my gratitude to the Lord for leading me to Carnivore, and I know He will be with me on this journey. I’m so grateful for you too. Jesus loves you.
