My Carnivore Heath Journey: Recent Episodes
Mike Dell
So, I hit one of the side-effects of getting on this type of diet. Fatigue and “Keto Flu”. Not feeling horrible or anything but my energy level physically is quite a bit down from normal. Mental energy seems great. No fog 🙂
Blood sugar is still in the good zone, but not quite as good as before. Still in the green and very steady.
Take a listen to the update. Catch me next time!
So far so good. My Blood sugar is in the high normal range instead of too high range. Making progress. So far no Keto flu!
Here are my rules for this diet: (not YOUR rules)
- Eating window 12pm to 7pm (closer to 6pm is better) 17-18 hour fast (other than Bulletproof coffee) lots of water.
- 24 hour fast once in a while. (Shoot for 1x per week)
- 2 meals a day
- EAT AT THE TABLE ONLY! No eating in the living room or office.
- NO SUGAR or FAKE SUGAR
- No POP
- As close to no carbs as possible
- NO Vegetables
- NO BEER
This is MY OK to eat / drink list.
- Coffee (Bulletproof or Black) 1-2 cups a day
- Tea
- Water
- 2lbs of meat a day (adjustable)
- Beef
- Lamb?
- Buffalo?
- Venison?
- Liver
- Pork
- Chicken
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Smoked sausage
- Butter
- Lard
- Tallow
- Mustard?
- Hard Cheese
- Salt
- Pepper?
- Spam
- Breakfast Sausage
- Hot dogs
- Jerky
- Pork Rinds
- Chicken Skin Chips (There are such things and they are great!)
T-minus 12 hours or so before I go full carnivore.
Just got a new CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) and it tells me my average has been around the 200 mark. Normal is 70-100 or so. I have “work” to do.
Starting this podcast mainly so I will NOT bug my friends and family by talking about this all the time 🙂
This show will be available in Podverse, Fountian and all the rest of the listening apps at NewPodcastApps.com
So, starting out here are my stats:

A bit of brain fog
A bit of fatigue
AND I’m a bad speller (this won’t change much I’m sure) 🙂
Let’s see how it changes over time. I’m starting on Feb 2nd, 2023 (Ground Hog Day)
