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 enzy ...
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?
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Thinking about the year ahead can be overwhelming when it comes to goal setting. For some people, like me, short term goals can be much more motivating. Right now it's beast mode through the Meetup this Saturday. That said, I do still have long term goals for the year. Staying carnivore is just a given now as it's my life already so I have to dive a little deeper for me. I'd like to stay in the same weight range but lower my body fat a bit. Gain some muscle mass in short. Gym at least 4 times a week and beast mode at the same time is my recipe.
Steak video for interest. 🤪
Do you do better with short or long term goals?
So sorry guys, my 2 1/2 hour drive home from the cabin is turning into a 5+ hour drive home so I am not going to make it in time to Livestream tonight. I'll post the link for the Dr Berry Livestream for tomorrow when I know it. I'll catch up on posts here when I get home if you have any questions.
Thanks to those that hung out on the Livestream last night, I know Tuesdays are harder and summer is so busy anyway! Next week we'll do Monday.
My Mom arrives today to visit for a week. We are excited to have her here. She likes to go on daily walks so for once I will be joining her to keep up with my recent exercise routine.
Also fyi, if you are having issues commenting on posts here in Locals, I am so sorry, hang tight. It looks like it's not just my community but a Locals issue overall and other groups are experiencing it as well. I will hopefully have an update soon about a resolution, I am so sorry!! If you are able comment on this post and say Hello so we can know who is able to comment. 🩷🩷
Did my lower body workout today, boy my legs were wobbly haha. I fasted 16 hours yesterday to today. Ate a little over on calories, (my plan is 1810 for the day) but overall not bad and I figure it will even out since I am doing another 24 hour fast Thursday to Friday. The ribeye was dinner, and I could only eat half of it. Roses are a plant a neighbor from a different house I used to live in was pulling up to throw away…. I rescued them 15 years ago and they are still going strong !
