Hello there. I've given up quite a few addictions in the past month or two. I went from video games to coffee and now to sugar. I want to give any helpful advice to someone who may be struggling with weight loss such as I have ever since I was a child. I finally decide to go full throttle and cut my carbs down to near nothing. Sure I have sprinklings here and there that add up to probably 5 or 10 carbs per day. But mainly I've been on a mostly ketogenic or carnivore diet. If you have a body type like me, the counting calories thing just doesn't seem to work. But doing this absolute diet, for just two weeks has proven very beneficial.
Number one. My body odor is absolutely been cut in half or five times. The BO I used to have which I thought was normal seems less prevalent or almost non-existent. This is after just two weeks.
Number two. I am able to tolerate cold more. It's currently 25° and quite windy. But I'm able to stomach the wind and actually almost enjoy it.
Number three. I have lost weight. Although it's too early to tell and from what I can account for, it is probably water weight according to most people. But it is amazing that something that took me weeks of hardcore exercise got me down to the same and just 2 weeks of high fat diet. I have a long ways to go and will report if it actually gets meaningful weight loss done.
I do this diet without adding much exercise. This is especially important when you get older and you're busy with kids and such. If any of you guys are interested in it, just let me know. I'm sure a lot of you do it already. But I've basically been surviving on ribeye, eggs, raw dairy cream heavy, chicken wings, ground beef, beef soup, some raw Greek yogurt. My treats are flavored but unsweetened carbonated water. Think of lacroix. I did have one cheat day so far, and the day after that recognizable body odor was back. But the day I did eat carbs, I had energy throughout the roof that I haven't had in a while.
It's not glamorous.. I don't particularly think meets that delicious without the sauces and all the other junk that gets at it to it. The feeling is intense cravings for these carbs. If you've ever done a fast without eating anything, it is a very similar feeling despite the fact that I am eating tons of fat. If you want to go down the YouTube rabbit hole, it all has to do with your resting insulin level, and depleting your glycogen. I hope everyone stays healthy out there.
