Hi there,
Ive been carnivore for over 2.5 years. It solved a lot of my issues (asthma, acne on face and scalp, greatly helped allergies). I am grateful for that but i had no energy... I was still able to get by in life but any energy i had felt like it was adrenaline/forced/stress. Any time i am alone and home i just want to crash...thats why im looking into Ray Peat after hearing about him on a kinda-carnivore youtube channel. I am also always cold!
So. 3 weeks ago i started to eat rice. Also added in OJ, Haagen Daz Ice cream, raw milk (which ive dabbled with in the past and been fine with). Probably too much too soon. But it all tastes amazing. Eating rice with ground beef makes it so much better. I feel like ive opened pandoras box.
I was getting very bored of just meat so the variety is really nice but...
...I still have no energy
...Old symptoms are reappearing (acne and bad scalp, allergies...)
At some point ill need to make a decision - back to boring carnivore with no energy but no bad health symptoms or Peatish, also no energy, enjoyable food + health issues. If that is my choice i feel the correct thing to do would be back to carnivore - my scalp is so irritated right now!
This diet has also given me a stomach! If you saw me with clothes you would probably say im slim but i have put on stomach weight, more than i ever have in my life. Im not too concerned but yea.
Any advice to make Peat work for me?
I wish this diet were as simple as carnivore, its hard to get decent information, there are barely any youtube videos and this forum is a little confusing. I'd really appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!
