My name is Susan, and I am 68 from Idaho, United States. I hope my story can inspire you to learn about Carnivore and give it a shot. It may change your life the same way it did mine.
Like you, I come from decades of eating the Standard American Diet (SAD), which had wrecked my health. In 2017, I decided to go keto, which was fantastic - I lost 46 pounds!
But I was always fighting an uphill battle against my sugar and carb addiction. Keto made it too easy to overindulge on nuts, carbs, and stevia. In Feb 2024, I decided to take serious action and level up my low-carb lifestyle to the Carnivore diet. Keto was just the first step; now, it was time to go all the way.
I had read so many testimonials about how Carnivores could heal health issues without drugs, and I was determined to finally break free from my carb and sugar addiction and improve my insulin resistance.
Transitioning to a Carnivore diet is not always easy. In my case, I was not getting enough fat. I couldn't tolerate butter (due to migraines), so I got creative by adding MCT oil and homemade olive oil mayo to my meals. But the results made it all worthwhile. Within just 2 days, my carb and sugar cravings had vanished - an amazing freedom I had never experienced before.
The benefits kept rolling in week after week for me. By 3.5 weeks, I was able to cut my blood pressure medication dosage in half. 2 months in, all my longstanding bowel issues were resolved. While the scale didn't show huge weight drops, I dropped inches and dress sizes over the next 3 months.
GoCarnivore is like having friends and family nearby when so many of my own acquaintances and family can’t understand my way of eating. It's so relaxing and calming to join in the chat and live events with fellow carnivores who understand what and why I’m doing what I’m doing. I know I’d have a lot harder time without this community. I have learned so much from the doctors, coaches, and Rina! You all give me the confidence to “go outside the box” if I need to. I realize this is an individual journey, and everyone’s a little different. GoCarnivore understands this.
Now, well into my carnivore journey, I have no plans of turning back. After decades of struggling, I have finally found lasting food freedom - and so much more. This is my safe place.
