Day 8 Thursday 1/10/2019
I think a status update is due now that I'm past the first week of the Carnivore Diet.
According to my Ketostix, there's a high concentration of ketones in my urine - I got a hue between brown and dark purple on the stick. Energy-wise, I feel a lot better now than I was when I was doing keto. I don't feel like a sore wreck upon awakening, and oddly enough, my mouth is not dry like it used to be in my keto days. I cut out all energy drinks, pre-workout powders, and diet colas from my diet and cut my caffeine consumption in half (or perhaps even more) and don't experience the mid-day slump or food coma after eating anymore. Anxiety has gone down considerably and my mood has never been any more stable than before.
Now, the only remaining problems left unaffected are my knee and lower back pain, but I think it's a little too early for the healing process to begin since I'm not past the adaptation phase yet.
I started my morning with a cup of bone broth seasoned with a heaping amount of pink Himalayan salt and freshly grounded black pepper.
Tonight I'll be eating a huge meal and begin a two-day fast afterwards, which will be broken Saturday evening.
