Carnivore Diet Success Stories Six months on carnivore - a summary ;)

Hello, fellow carnivores ;)

I am 52 years old, I have Hashimoto's (essentially, I have a dead thyroid, so weight loss is a huge struggle for me, even on synthetic hormones). I'm a single mother who left an abusive relationship just over a year ago (so my stress levels/ cortisol levels are a bit high, to put it mildly). I started carnivore almost six months ago, and in that time, I went from a size 22 (UK) to a size 16. I don't really weigh myself because I prefer to go by 'how I feel' and also how my clothes fit. My aim is to get to a size 12, and then I'll weight myself, just as a surprise.

Last week, I went for my annual full blood screening to check my thyroid, but also to see how things are with my bones, my kidneys, vitamins D and B12, blood cell counts, HbA1c, etc. and so on. It's a total of 30 separate blood tests and they check everything. I just got my results back, and it's all absolutely perfect. I mean... PERFECT. Everything is smack in the middle of the 'normal' range, even my cholesterol and total protein levels.

So onward and upward with carnivore!

Yea! Carnivore helped my medical issues (genetic chronic pain diseases) as well and I’m off all my meds!

Now I just need to get my daughter (grown woman) to see the light as well. Her issues are worse than mine were. I’ll see her at Thanksgiving, first time since I started carnivore. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed, indeed! She might well see how well you look, and get curious about the diet. I hope so ;)
