I know what many of you may be thinking. ‘I am so tired of eating healthy. I am way too busy to be thinking about food all the time and worrying about how much I can eat. I am so hungry all of the time. Healthy food is expensive. ‘ Trust me, I have used all of these lines and more.

Three years ago I would never have imagined being where I am today. I have kept off seventy pounds for about 2 years now

I was the person constantly loosing weight and putting it back on. Then for a few years, I completely gave up and decided I would just be fat. I tried everything, I was sick and tired of being hungry. All. The. Time. But then I got to the point where I wad sick and tired of being fat. I needed a solution. I didn’t want or have the time to be worrying about food all of the time. But I also had had enough of being big enough that I was tired all of the time, and I had to start shopping in the plus size section. I hated what I looked like.

I started researching why certain cultures are mostly thin. I started researching how to feel full. After so much research I had come across the carnivore diet. Don’t tune me out yet if you do not agree. I understand different people may feel good eating slightly different. But I think most of us would agree, that REAL food, rather than processed food would make all of us feel better. I decided to give this way of eating a shot (you will never hear me use the word “diet”, that is short term. This is not! It is my way of life, the way I eat every day).

Almost immediately my head cleared up, my “brain fog” was gone. If you have had this you know what I mean. If not, I basically felt like a walking zombie, forgetting everything, completely exhausted, I was also very down on myself.

Then, the weight started falling off. I was 230 pounds in 2021 and by late 2022 I was 155 pounds. I now have so much energy, I feel so, so good. I would never go back just because of how good I feel. Of course, I love how I can fit into normal clothes again, and I don’t mind pictures of myself anymore.

I have completely removed all sugar from my diet. NO MORE CRAVINGS. It is such freedom!! I thought of nothing but sugar before, all day looking for the next time I could get another sugary snack. I no longer have that haunting me.

Some people may think I am strict on myself, and I imagine people talk about me that way. But I simply cannot go back. I feel so amazing, it’s being such a wonderful journey to health!
