30 days on Carnivore Diet - experimenting to heal my IBS, leaky gut and bloat

hi guys so i'll do a quick update since i've got some time to kill um my procedure was cancelled so i have 40 minutes to kill and the internet isn't great so i was like what can i do maybe i should record a vlog uh and to tell you that i have completed 30 days on carnivore i can't believe it um and i wanted to share my experience in case anyone is thinking about doing it now you know if you don't know i'm just going to repeat why i did it but my main reasons were to heal my guts and to get rid of my ibs and bloatedness i do have leaky gut and um i just wanted to try it because you know i've tried literally everything now in the last one and a half years and spent over twenty thousand dollars on all the doctors medicine procedures tests everything you know it's actually insane to think i've spent so much money but you know when you're desperate you want to feel excited to build something when i'm talking i have to pause this video as i was saying and um i wanted to try out the um you know carnivore for 30 days and just see how it's gonna go so i thought i'll just do one week first and then see you know if i like it because to me the idea of just eating meats and organs did sound a bit weird and also like you know it's just it's hard for me as a food blogger and generally like who does that it's just bizarre idea right but the more research i was doing the more i was convinced and i was i'm just gonna do one week so i decided to do one week and i didn't eat as much as i thought i would um and surprisingly it was a lot easier to do than i thought it would be this is the funny thing you know our brain convinced us so much about like this and that and the challenges and when you actually do something you realize that it's not actually even that hard or it's a lot easier than you expected um i've noticed big shifts so like first week i didn't eat much like i ate a bit and it just kind of made me full and everyone talks that you might have like an upset stomach i didn't really maybe like on day three um but that was the only time throughout the 30 days so i wasn't freaking out about it at all which is great i guess um and total overall i did um weigh myself i lost five kilos in one month and that's without me trying i don't count any calories don't worry about food i just eat whatever and whenever i'm hungry and so it's been amazing on that side as well because i do have issues with food you know i tend to overeat or undereat or fast and then this but here i was fasting um you don't need to fast it's not a requirement uh but i was fasting like 16 to 18 hours per day so i'd finish eating around like 5 6 p.m at night and then i would not eat until 11 12 in the morning and the reason i did that is because i was generally not hungry and i don't like eating meat at night because then i don't sleep very well so i've developed this kind of routine for me but there's lots of people that develop their own routines you know whatever works for them um so just you know if you're thinking about starting it just just do your own way you don't need to fast if you feel like you don't want to fast just don't do it but you're sleeping most of the time anyway so first week i was fasting and i was eating um pretty much two times a day i thought i'll be eating three but there's no way you just get so full um so you don't want to eat so much so i was eating yeah two times a day and just to give you an example i didn't eat steak all the time so i was eating like um any type of lamb beef and uh chicken and so i was very eating whatever i felt like and i would be asking myself every day like what do i fancy today and it'd be like chicken thighs or a whole chicken or this and that and it kept me going and the only reason why i'm doing three proteins because actually on carnivore you can have everything fish seafood dairy i'm doing a very strict because of my gut issues and i need to figure out like what is it i'm allergic to as well as healing my gut so by doing this as an elimination diet i can figure out like what is the actual issue um so yeah i've i've been eating um not that much the first week like it was still quite low but not like you know crazy amount uh by week two um i started feeling quite dizzy and i was quite low and i was very sleepy so i was actually sleeping a lot like you know nine ten hours a day i would pass out during lunchtime uh i think my body was changing from burning carbohydrates to um energy from that to fats to burning energy and so it's really funny the more fat you eat the more fat you burn and i basically have no cravings whatsoever i completely don't want sugar i'm not really struggling on this way of eating at all that i thought i would um in fact on week three i started getting so much energy i started feeling amazing i know it takes a while for your body to adapt um so it took me like three weeks and i was eating like crazy i would be having i'm not even exaggerating like 900 gram steak for dinner that's like nearly a kilo um and i'll be eating twice a day i was my appetite went crazy and then i found out apparently if you're a woman and you're watching we do have our cycles and when our cycle's about to start we tend to eat a lot more and then apparently when your cycle actually starts you don't eat much so and this is exactly what happened to me but obviously i had no idea so if you're about to start or you're starting i'm just warning you that it could happen i don't know everyone's experience obviously different and yeah so on week four which is my last week i just had no appetite whatsoever i could eat like once a day and in fact most days i just ate once a day and i just had no appetite and apparently you're not supposed to force yourself so if you don't have an appetite just don't eat and i did that um so yeah these are my four weeks and this is week five i lost five kilos i have a lot of energy i sleep really well my skin actually cleared up you can see i have no makeup right now on me i'm not just a moisturizer but nothing no foundation nothing uh on my actual skin i definitely have a lot more energy and i just feel good like i don't have any cravings i don't want to you know like i eat and i don't feel like oh my god i want to eat again in like three hours or whatever i just eat morning night and today i got quite hungry already so interesting week five i'm gonna see what kind of feelings and transformations i'm gonna have today this week oh i'm not this banging again but um but for me the most important thing i guess is my stomach and my gut right so definitely all my inflammation started to disappear i lost a lot of water and obviously fat's going as well but for me it was mainly like the bloats you know i don't have as much pain i still have a bloat like that hasn't gone away but they say if you're if your symptoms are a bit more severe like ibs or leaky gut or anything to do with allergies it might take a bit longer for you to heal so yeah i'm just kind of like i'm just gonna go with it and see how long it's gonna take me to heal you know and then i'm gonna add other foods um but generally yeah like i wake up in the mornings and i feel good you know like i don't feel pain i don't feel pain after eating i never feel i haven't had a flare-up in a month um yeah so on that end like the way i feel has been amazing and i definitely think it's worth it and it's a lot easier than i thought it would be i buy all my meat in bulk uh i buy like grass-fed organic meat because it's better for your gut especially if you have issues because a lot of the uh store-bought stuff has antibiotics in there and yes i know the grass-fed stuff is more expensive um in mexico it's so it's just noisy it's just noisy the truck is coming wow it's coca-cola truck exactly what you don't want to drink or have ever i'm not cheating with anything i'm not having sweeteners i'm not having coffee i just want cold turkey and for me that's personally how it works best for me like i don't like um you know negotiating because i'm not good at that i'm either in or i'm out and so you know when i went in carnival i just went in full full carnival because i want to see results and i want to see them you know relatively fast i'm giving myself like six months um and yeah i'm starting to feel very positive i actually first time in my life i'm not taking any medicine i'm not spending any money on doctors or anything just literally eating good quality meat and organs and this is important when i mention organs because they have contained a lot of vitamins so it's really important um but generally just do your research if you're interested if i do manage to heal my gut of course i'll talk more about it because i i feel very very positive about it uh i've decided to do another 30 days so wish me luck uh we'll see how that will go but um yeah so far so great and you know do i get bored i did get bored two days ago i was like oh my god i don't want to eat this meat again and then my coach uh who i do stretching with he was like let me ask you this are you bored with feeling great and i was like no he's like keep going so that kind of stuck with me and i think you know you forget how good you feel and when you go back to feeling really ---- you're gonna remember so yeah i'm pretty proud of myself and um if you want to try it i would say go for it but do do research i did research for a good i would say six months before I started this carnivore thing because I tried everything else and I was like this got to be the last thing I'm gonna do because I was just so fed up nothing works and so I'm very excited I'm very excited to heal myself I'm very excited to lose any extra weight that I need to lose and just to feel amazing and then I'm excited to add things back into my diet because I will see like I don't know if I can do carnivore for the rest of my life but um I'm gonna start adding like pork and other types of meat and fish in about a month and then after about another two months i can add like eggs and stuff like that because i really need to see and understand like what is it that i'm possibly reacting to um so yeah that's kind of that's kind of been the actual update and i hope you enjoyed it let me know if you have any questions um maybe some of you are considering maybe some of you are already doing carnivore and if you think this is the bizarrest and weirdest thing ever don't worry i thought exactly the same way but then at the end of the day if anything in this world works for you and it helps you and it makes you feel good who the hell cares what everyone else thinks right so i'm doing this for me and it's helping me right now it's working and i don't care what people say but i'm going to share my experience because this is my experience and i did all my blood work as well actually three days ago and all my results came back absolutely amazing uh better than before which is crazy um absolutely crazy so gives me a lot to think about i wish kind of i did this before because i wasted so much money on like and so much more extra stress which actually made my condition even worse anyway guys thanks for chatting with me i love you all so much Bye.
