re: Carnivore fast food options

I think following a diet in general is a bad idea for you. You should consider getting some help from a psychologist or dietician or whoever about what is causing you to not be able to control yourself with food.

Completely cutting out everything but meat, cold turkey (pun intended), is 100% setting yourself up for failure.

My recommendation always will be (again, not an expert):
1. do not diet. diets are stupid and are not sustainable.
2. track the food you do eat. use MyFitnessPal and understand your caloric intake and the macros you're currently consuming.
3. weight training. sure, cardio will cause you to lose weight faster but building solid muscle will burn fat for you.

Relatable af for me.

But honestly, if you are struggling with food addiction that bad, things like carnivore may make things worse and lead you into binging. Strongly recommend therapy, similar to any other addiction. There's probably something pushing your drive to eat.

Not odd at all. If a man doesn't have a spiritual base its hard to build anything and its the foundation of a complete healthy being.

To answer your question , I don't read any Christian literature daily but I usually at least do some positive affirmations while I'm at work just to keep the soul fed. I probably need to get back into transcendental meditation again to really focus on my intent.

Been carnivore for 3 weeks. Lost 20 lbs so far a d feel really damn good. Enjoy the chits.

Mine persisted. I felt amazing and the cognitive health was incredible, but the shits...

Ultimately, I added a little fruit and smattering of veggies to carnivore and it became the perfect way of eating for me.

Like a previous poster mentioned, my go to is to get a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Walmart was two different sizes. One cost $8 and one cost $5. I get the $5 if available, and eat that, minus the skin, except for the skin on the drum sticks. Its filling, loaded with protein, and next to zero carbs.

I know that I cant have a regular relationship with food. I cant just have 1 cookie or 1 serving of ice cream. I have zero discipline with food and after doing some internet research the Carniovere diet seems that it would bring me a strict guideline to take the guess work and gray areas out. I will probably fall flat on my face as its very difficult to live in America and not give in to the mountain of delicious sugary and carb filled foods surrounding us.

Jesus duck, see a therapist if your life revolves so fully around food that having a mate has turned you back into a fat lazy slob.

Your blood work may be “fine” but all that fat is going to lead to early joint replacements and depressed O2 efficiency because it’s pushing down on your lungs and diaphragm.

2.) Damn near any grocery store: Buy a rotisserie chicken and eat until you are full.

Mojo rotisserie from Publix is fire

Any time I ordered blackened tenders I got a dirty look.

You’ve lost 7 pounds a week? That sounds more like you’ve just stopped eating all together.

No. I normally eat exclusively low carb and drink beer. When Covid lockdowns happened and everyone started working out, I did the opposite. Went completely unhealthy. Was hammering the beers and eating garbage. I weighed myself on Christmas and said nope. Stopped drinking and have only had meat, eggs, coffee and water. Pretty much lost a pound a day. Now I’m introducing veggies and fruits slowly.

I also run 10-15 miles a week.
