When I first started the carnivore diet, I didn’t care about how much protein to fat I was eating. I wanted to get used to the all meat diet first. As I felt more confident in this way of eating, I then began to experiment with my fat/protein ratios. Of course, there was a point I did try and add butter to my meals. It didn’t take long for me to understand what benefits my body most.
I had success for years on the ketogenic diet, but was realizing I had naturally reduced the variety of vegetables I was eating because I felt better that way. It also was becoming too easy for eat off track and when I would consume carbohydrates, even healthy ones, it would be hard for me moderate and from these foods, I started to notice shifts in my hormones.
Taking what I knew from the ketogenic diet, I kept my fat intake the same and simply increased my protein to fit my daily caloric intake.
I don’t have any autoimmune issues, I didn’t have weight to lose. My goals were help with longtime digestive issues, joint pain and sugar cravings. We all have different starting points and different issues, so naturally our plates should all look unique! God bless
