4 months on carnivore! I'll probably go get some blood work done in a couple of months, but anecdotally, every marker of health has improved dramatically.
To be fair it hasn't been a perfect 4 months. I had a nasty virus that hung on for a few weeks, a business trip, some minor cheats for various reasons, not enough fat in my diet during one period, and the initial transition period.
I feel like I'm becoming more fat adapted and the middle aged health maladies are all going away. Normal blood pressure, better pulse, better breathing, less joint cracking, better joint stability, better sleep, improved mental clarity, memory, focus, and mood, weight loss, muscle gain, and so on.
It is a slightly boring way of eating to be honest, although I have never cut out spices, garnishes, mushrooms, and similar incidentals. I also eat some avocados.
At some point I still think I might go low carb/keto-vore, but I would like to get the excess weight off first. I still have 2 inches to lose for my waist to be half of my height.
