Mental health – anxiety

Tiffany overcame decades of food addiction on a carnivore diet

December 31, 2020 3 Comments
I lost 130 lbs with a combination of intermittent fasting and low carb paleo eating. In January 2020 when I began experimenting with a carnivore diet, my goals were primarily for body recomposition as I needed to tighten loose skin and build muscle after going from 260 down to 130 lbs. (I am 5’8”)
 
I have had many more NSVs than that now that I have been exclusively carnivore for the last several months. 
 
-I wake before my alarm
– I have sustained energy throughout the day
– I’m now training for a marathon because my legs want to move 
– I’m almost never hungry and actually remind myself to eat
– I sleep more soundly and need less sleep overall
– I’m more productive because my thinking is sharp and clear 
– Body recomposition: I’ve lost 1” from my rib cage, 2” from my hips, and 3 1/2” from my waist
– Anxiety is gone
– Age spots are fading
– The most important NSV of all, sticking to a carnivore diet helped me overcome decades of sugar addiction and carb binges. 
 
Miscellaneous info – Shawn Baker’s carnivore book was my gateway to starting, and I joined meat rx for the 30 day trial January 2020. My full length before/after is 2015 to March 2020. The up close before/after is 2011 to 2020. The most recent before/after shows the difference when I made my most recent tweaks (increase fat/protein ratio and eliminate salt) The difference is from Thanksgiving day to December 18.

Annabel healed her anxiety and panic attack disorder on a carnivore diet

December 24, 2020 1 Comment
This is my success story 
 
I went to boarding school at age 15 and from that moment onwards my health began to deteriorate.
 
It was constant bad food, I was never in control, as well as snacks and alcohol.
 
I became highly insulin resistant and pre-diabetic, along with that I had severe anxiety and panic attacks and developed autoimmune conditions, as well as a mood disorder. 
 
I didn’t ever see a doctor but had a coach who got me down the route of paleo which significantly improved my insulin resistance but I still had underlying problems. 
 
I began to get obsessed with my weight from the results I was seeing and fasted a lot, as well as trying the HCG diet – after which I lost my period. 
 
I then did a hair mineral analysis test showing extreme levels of trauma in my body – I was leaching calcium from my bones 
 
I studied nutrition alongside getting a personal training qualification and went down the route of carnivore which I have been doing for around 8 months now. 
 
My period is back, my neurological damage is going into remission as well as some of the autoimmunity and I haven’t had a panic attack since before paleo. My hormones are balancing out and my body composition has dramatically improved as the underlying inflammation began to disappear. 
 
I am now a qualified coach and work in body transformations – I teach people to shop, prep and cook as nutrition is where it all begins 
 
The first photo is of me right after boarding school – puffy, inflamed, unhealthy, anxious, skinny fat and lost in life
the second photo is of me after getting most of my conditions into remission and severely improving my overall health status – over 2 years into my health journey 
 
Kind regards
Annabel

But Brandon was strong.  He grew up and went to college where he met a girl who convinced him to eat a larger portion of his diet as plants.  This quickly became painful for his digestion and joints.

Tracy no longer suffers from eczema, asthma, skin issues on a carnivore diet

September 22, 2020 No Comments
Hello!  
I’m excited to share my story with you.
 
My journey to better health and well-being began 4 years ago when my husband, fairly recently diagnosed with T2D, was researching ways to manage his diabetes with diet, rather than medication.  He was on a literal handful of meds that were controlling his BG, but doing nothing for his overall health.  He told me he wanted to start Keto because he couldn’t keep doing what he was doing.  I went along for the ride as the supportive wife.  I was not diabetic, however very possibly pre-diabetic.  I was 230 lbs, depressed and anxious, asthmatic, suffering on an off from some pretty terrible eczema and I was literally dragging myself up the stairs each day.  About 2 weeks into keto I felt better than I had in decades.  I started digging into all of the information I could about it.  I stumbled through keto for 2 years, with my weight going up and down, though my depression had improved greatly and my asthma was mostly resolved.  I was still suffering from eczema and by that time it was fairly serious.  I was back and forth to emergency before being referred to a specialist.  I had been put on prednisone and several steroid creams, none of which resolved it.  Once again I dug into research and stumbled upon Carnivore.  By this time I was prioritizing meat but still eating lots of vegetables.  I decided to eliminate the vegetables and incorporate fasting and what do you know?  My eczema was cleared within 10 days and has not returned.  
To date I have lost 90 pounds.  My  mental health is perfect.  My asthma is non-existent.  My skin is clear and glowing.  I no longer struggle with food addiction or out of control hunger.  I’ve started moving my body everyday, which further enhances my mental and physical health.  I have never been this well in my entire life. Meat has healed  me.  My husband continues to manage his T2D without medication. We have been in this together from day 1.  I wouldn’t be where I am without him.  I’ve started sharing my journey on my own social media in an effort to let my friends and family know that there is a better way.  
 
That’s more than a few sentences, but I’m just so grateful for this journey.  I feel like shouting it from the rooftops.  Thank you so much for this opportunity!

JL healed her prolapsed pelvic floor on a carnivore diet

September 12, 2020 No Comments

Thank you for featuring my picture on your Instagram! My success is short since I just started Carnivore “correctly” July 1st 2020. I had done a very dirty version in 2018 which of course did not last that long as I was coming from the Keto Community and still eating artificial sweeteners, lots of dairy and my weight slowly crept back up since my fasting windows shortened significantly. 

A little history about me. I was always thin growing up and never had a weight problem until I started “dieting”.. so since 2001 I’ve managed to keep myself in a perpetual cycle of gain/lose/gain/lose. I’ve done the Body-For-Life challenge several times in 2006 and 2008 lol. I finally hit my major milestone of competitions and became an NPC competitor from 2012-2013, was published in 2 fitness magazines then completely crashed after my last competition because I killed my adrenals and became extremely unhealthy in the brain (anxiety & depression). I gained 60 lbs then in 2017 started a new journey of Keto/IF. Was very successful because I could fast forever.. lost 50 lbs in 5 months.. During this time I struggled with severe health problems and my fasting windows just got smaller and smaller and sure enough over time my weight just kept creeping back… in between I did eat a few weeks here & there a very SAD diet. Right after my 40th birthday (April) I threw my back out for a few weeks and I was told by my “lady” dr that I had a prolapsed pelvic floor and that’s contributing to the back pain and I was at risk for surgery if I didn’t do physical therapy. I was shocked and knew that I had to really look at my lifestyle not as a “weight loss” journey, but a major correction of my body journey.

I remembered Shawn Bakers interview with Joe Rogan and how simple he kept it regarding Carnivore. So I decided to just stick to beef, salt, water, fat. Within 3-4 weeks my pelvic floor was completely healed. No pain, no pressure and all the other embarrassing issues surrounding this problem just went away. My skin issues completely cleared and I was noticing that I was not hungry, I rarely thought about food, my sleep was much deeper, my digestive problems subsided significantly and I went from 4-5 times a day to 1-2. I’ve lost about 15 lbs but I think the biggest benefit so far is I’m HIGHLY aware of what is happening with my body. I can listen to it’s queues crystal clear and to me that’s a privilege. Thank you for taking the time to hear my story. I have lots more to tell.

Robert is no longer sore, is now free from anxiety on a carnivore diet

August 24, 2020 No Comments

I have battled sugar addiction and yoyo weightloss diets as long as I can remember. I first heard of the Carnivor diet on the Joe Rogan podcast with Dr.Shawn Baker I put the information away and neglected to practice it for some time. This year the diet made itself present in my life with another podcast this time by Jordan Peterson and I decided what do I have to lose. I was constantly sore and anxiety from work was leaking into other faucets of my life effecting personal relationships and work performance. I did my research and began a 30 day challenge that is now a 60 day challenge in the first 30 days my anxiety melted away, I am no longer sore and constantly bloated and i have lost 22.5 lbs feeling and looking better now at 30 than when i was 18. This is becoming a life style where the pros easily outweigh the cons.
