I finally caved and tried the carnivore diet. It’s been almost two weeks that I ate only meat, fish, and dairy. I didn’t even cheat once - the only culprits where two glasses of whiskey.
Already I’m noticing changes: I dropped two kilograms (mostly water), and look leaner. My strength and energy, after having dipped the first week, are now largely restored.
Interestingly, my skin also looks cleaner and younger: I no longer have any spots nor pimples. When I still ate a sugar-rich diet, I would get the occasional outbreak.
Most importantly: the diet is such a joy! I look forward to every meal and greatly enjoy my food. For now, the diet seems to good to be true.
I’ll get my blood tested after 30 days to see how I’m doing on LDL. If results are positive, I can see myself sticking with this diet for a long time.
