Carnivore Diet - I Made it to Three Months!
Today marks three months of eating only meat, eggs, and dairy. I feel pretty good, actually. At first I was nervous that I might be doing harm to my body by not eating any fruit or vegetables. I researched scurvy, concerned that this might be a problem if I were to persist.
In actuality, I feel really good! Much of the joint pain I felt in my hips is gone. I sleep more soundly. It seems like my mind is quicker, as if I'm able to access memory and vocabulary better than before.
I also have quit taking all my medication. No statins for cholesterol, no antidepressant SSRIs, not even the baby-aspirin I've been loyally consuming for a number of years!
Instead, I am taking fish oil every night, and drinking lots of water.
I'll admit it seems kind of wacky. Maybe I'm being naive. Maybe I'm being a conspiracy theorist. After COVID, I just don't trust the drug industry and the medical establishment. It goes beyond not trusting them, actually. I have come to believe that most medicine is over prescribed, with the ultimate goal being to make money, not to do what's best for the individual.
