My Background Before Starting Carnivore Diet
As a female, I struggled with chronic fatigue, bloating, and hormonal imbalances like irregular periods. These issues led me to explore the carnivore diet after conventional approaches failed.
Key Steps in My Carnivore Journey
I followed a structured approach to transition smoothly and monitor progress:
- Initial Phase: Eliminated all plant-based foods over two weeks, starting with processed carbs and sugars.
- Diet Refinement: Focused on whole animal products: grass-fed beef, eggs, and seafood. Monitored daily with a journal for symptoms and energy.
- Adjustment Period: Increased fat intake for satiety, including fatty cuts and bone broth, to combat initial detox symptoms like headache.
- Ongoing Adaptation: Added organ meats monthly for nutrient density and tracked markers like hydration and sleep.
Real Benefits I Experienced
Within months, the changes were profound and evidence-based:

- Hormonal Balance: Periods became regular with reduced PMS symptoms due to stabilized insulin.
- Inflammation Reduction: Bloating vanished, and skin cleared up thanks to anti-inflammatory fatty acids.
- Sustained Energy and Weight Loss: Fat adaptation boosted mental clarity, and I shed 15 pounds without calorie counting.
- Gut Health Improvement: Digestion normalized with zero IBS-like issues, supporting long-term wellness.
This journey taught me that individualized approaches work best; consult a professional for safety to ensure nutritional adequacy.
