re: IBS, Severe OSA, and turning over a new leaf

Yea, not sure if people truly understand how it can stop you from doing a lot of things, since you might be stuck in the bathroom at any given moment.

My big IBS trigger that I've found so far? Common ground black pepper. It wreaks havoc on me. I switched to ground white pepper when I cook and it's a world of difference.

But, everyone else everywhere uses black, so I still get crushed by it from time to time.

To the coward downvoter, how about an actual rebuttal? I was having serious arthritis issues in my hands. I went full carnivore and within months it was gone. I also leaned down to where I have a visible six pack.

Meat isnt a magic bullet. It is ultimately the elimination of things that cause inflammation that helps autoimmune conditions. You slim down because you are very much satiated by eating fat and protein.

I'd really be interested in a carnivore diet with a smidgen of greens. Green beans, green peas, snap peas, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, jalapeños, serranos, tomatillos, green onions, etc.

How long does a carnivore diet take to show results? What are the stages?

I really think that's what I'll do. Try carnivore for a month and then reintroduce veggies one at a time.

What about vitamin C, tho?

You get enough of it from meat. Ive never once taken vit c

Your need for vitamin C is greatly diminished on a low carb diet.

Well, I started the moving process on Friday November 1st. Taking my time and moving a few loads pretty much every day between work and sleep. I'm under no time constraints to get moved all at once, plus I'm waiting till the big Black Friday sales hit to order new furniture.

I'm on the 3rd floor. Blows goats lugging all my stuff there, but getting a mini-workout every day. Can't wait to get fully moved in by the end of the month and settle into a routine.

Very much eyeing the carnivore diet or at the very least being much more strict on my intake than in the past few years. At this point, just a couple of grilled pork chops/chicken/steak with some green vegetables on a regular basis will probably help me knock off some weight. Tired of eating drive-thru.

I dealt with IBS-c and as soon as I started taking pro biotics it changed my life. Over the ten years that I’ve been taking them, I’ve tried backing off of them and within a few days I was back to miserable. I would definitely try some.

Fruit sounds good!

Are greens that bad for you?
