Happy Wed! I made it to Texas, thankfully I am in Austin which is having the least of the bad weather here this week so I had no issues getting here.
Okay let's get deep into some TMI and talk about 💩💩 digestion today!
I have shared openly that before carnivore I used to deal with severe constipation in hemorrhoids, to the point that I was about ready to have surgery for it. For me personally, diarrhea has been much more common on carnivore, which for many years it was such a relief after having the opposite problem for so long. I still have to be careful about eating and drinking too much in one sitting, especially if I'm having a high fat meal, or I will end up will some loose stools.
I know a lot of people experience diarrhea at first, and for most people it goes away on its own, however, I know some people have had to add some type of digestive enzymes such as ox bile to help normalize their bowels.
Like I said, it's way Too Much Information today. 😂 Share below as much or as little as you're comfortable . And maybe don't read the comments today if type of conversation is too much for you. 🤪
How is your digestion on carnivore? Have things improved? Are things "normal"? Do you do still struggle with constipation or loose stools?
Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
Happy Monday!! How was your weekend? Were you able to stay on track or are you needing a reset for this week? We stop have plenty of time left in the month to make some good progress.
Thankfully I am not traveling then next couple weeks so it's been nice to be in the groove with exercise. Hopefully you can come hang out on the Livestream tonight, I'll give you more details on that Carnivore coach who was stealing my pictures for his coaching promotion. 🙄(I shared that on IG yesterday when I found out about it). We can talk about anything else on your mind as well.
What is your non-negotiable for this week?
I decided to go back to Carnivore. Carnivores will not have to worry about Cyclspora. I was eating very few veggies anyway so might as well give them up.
