Morning frens! Dreamed of deep floodwaters, hope that's predictive and not just mental recycling.
Lovely crisp, frosty morning, and I am feeling great on day 4 of the carnivore diet. Arthritic pain and stiffness are gone, I am bright eyed and bushy tailed. I thought I was on a healthy diet already, shows how we can be deceived. Never too old to learn something new.
Didn't think I could stick to it but realised we are creatures of habit; with enough willpower and motivation habits can change.
Cleared all the foodstuffs I should not have had: basically anything with an ingredients list. Was surprised at the amount of hidden sugar in condiments etc. Gave it away to avoid temptation, now have empty cupboards and fridge, and won't need to take multiple bags for shopping, just a cool box.
Onwards and upwards!
I rarely remember my dreams. When I do they have family (past & present) and are usually a little crazy and weird. I’m interested in the carnivore diet. Need to loose a lot of weight and got more pain problems than we have time to discuss. (Nobody wants to hear problems) We are going in on a cow in the spring. Maybe I can try it then. Best wishes on your food changes.
Thanks fren. Hope you do try it: first few days are a struggle, but when the benefits kick in there's no looking back. I've struggled with health problems for years, and wasted a lot of money on supplements. Definitely think I've finally arrived at the answer.
Glad it’s working for you. I don’t want to know how much money I’ve spent on supplements and herbal supplements trying to fix my problems. I’ve cooked more in the past two weeks than maybe the past four years. That’s embarrassing because I’m a good cook. Can’t tell you what changed. I’m not questioning it. I’m not 100% yet. Still struggling in AM. It will get better as I eat real food and not junk.
Yes you will, don't give up.
March 2022, hubby and I began a NO WHEAT, NO SUGAR WAY OF LIFE. Within 4 month our weight was nearly normal, blood pressure normal. We also were on the carnivore diet. Bacon, eggs applesauce for breakfast. I was told for years that bacon would KILL you, but all my status began normalizing. A year later and after adding a tiny bit of sugar (only that which is already in products) and a little NON-GMO WHEAT WE ARE STILL LOSING WEIGHT and feeling so much better overall. We are senior Seniors and I am on NO MEDS. I am not opposed to doctors.......I believe that God using them to keep us alive until we can learn to BELIEVE HIM FOR OUR HEALTH. He is faithful. By the stripes of Jesus, we are healed.
Sounds very good! Any herbs and spices? Salt?
Salt and herbs, think some spices as well. Loads of good videos on YT.
I am amazed at how quickly I am feeling the benefit. Thought I could never live without fruit: had one of my apples and it tasted too sweet, could not finish it. Then I felt weird, my concentration went and I started to feel hungry. Clearly that was enough to set off an insulin spike. Incredible how we get used to eating stuff that is hailed as healthy (have 5 a day) when its actually doing long term harm.
I honestly believe that fruit is healthy, and that we would be served well by the plants that naturally reside in our ecosystems (God's design), and that the stuff in supermarkets isn't any of that. I'm wanting to clear some woods and plant gooseberries, elderberries if the land will take it. But a carb halt for detox sounds very promising; the best weight loss I ever had was a few months on the original Atkins (before they killed him, admitted he was right, and re-marketed it as fads); that dates me badly, lol.
Yet someone is still making money off his name. I bought the peanut butter chocolate bars once. I ate the whole box in record time🤦🏻♀️ My mom didn’t buy the healthiest food when we were kids. Those peanut butter bars taste just like carnation breakfast bars. Food like that was the downfall of American food. At least my grandma cooked real food and we ate with her more than at home.
I hear what you say, but the fact is that many people have problems with fruit and veg. They have changed over time: veg bred to be resistant to pests, fruit and sweetcorn to be sweeter, even supersweet. Then there is pollution, chemtrails, pesticides. Bodies adapt, its only when you stop and clear out your system that the damaging effects become apparent.

Yesterday I thought that in time maybe I would re-introduce certain veg and see how I get on, today I doubt it. What puzzles me is what God's plan is: I have a garden orchard and a veg plot I can't make use of. Interesting. I am waiting for enlightenment...
