Going low carb then carnivore later got me off the roller coaster of eating and then feeling bloated then eating again every 3-4 hours. It also smoothed my mood and energy and focus throughout the day. The first few months I felt like a 20 year old it was wild! Things stabilized and the little aches and pains that follow you around were the next thing to fade away(e.g. achy lower back after 8 hours in a chair at work). I lost about 15 pounds completely as a “side effect”. It was never my intention or motivation for lifestyle change. I had to buy some new pants and shirts. Ngl it was neat to see a slim figure in the mirror. After a few years my toenails cleared up from having some fungus in them! Never used sunscreen before or since going low carb then carnivore but now I don’t ever get sunburn. Did I mention that steak, eggs and fish taste great? As a former DPM(podiatrist) I can relate to your plantar fasciitis history😉. As a now long time consumer of reading and YouTube on low carb carnivore content I can only recommend to you to watch these three(to start) people: 1: Dr Shawn Baker 2:Dr Ken D Berry 3:Dr AnthonyChaffee on YT. There are of course others but these guys all have comprehensive real life patients who have treated their GERD, their IBD and sleep apnea with just going carnivore especially for at least 90 days, not to mention all the other metabolic syndrome maladies. Even depression, bipolar, ADHD and schizophrenia to a degree! Oh and autoimmune issues(which IBD is one) and eczema, psoriasis. PCOS in females, sounds unbelievable I know but after hundreds and thousands of anecdotes from real life patients you start to believe and of course there are also academic peer reviewed papers in the literature. Try it out for 30 days minimum with strict elimination of carbs. Not a week not two weeks. Carnivore/very low carb is to health what #bitcoin is to money/finance. Get down this rabbit hole like you did with bitcoin and you will escape the food matrix. Good luck 👍
