I had the headache thing early on, Unity. I think it's mainly just your body adjusting to the change in diet.
Is anyone else having trouble eating enough? I find my meals so rich and satisfying that I only need miniscule portions. I'm not complaining. This is one of the first times in my life where food has been of almost no interest. I forget to eat. I have so much more time to do things now that I'm not constantly obsessing about food. This is a good thing, but some days I'm barely eating anything at all. I get a hunger pain here or there, but no appetite. Any suggestions?
I had a salad a few nights ago. I wanted to see what would happen. Nothing happened. No problems, except for the fact that I realized that salad isn't as tasty as I had thought. My roast and ribs tasted sooo good today!
Hope everyone's doing well.

Alisa,
Wow... I could have written these same words! It is my experience to the letter. I have resisted using Fitday, because I don't want to spend the time, nor do I want to "obsess" as you say. It feels so free to eat this way. Only if I feel my energy level drop slightly, or my stomach/gut empty do I feel the need to eat. It is just as you describe. I have no clue as to how many calories I am consuming. I just eat animal food when I feel that I should. It is impossible to overeat, because it is not hunger that is driving me to eat in the first place. I get full so quickly, and just need to stop. As far as my energy levels... it is really fantastic! And, as far as my moods... I feel "high" all day! It is something I am definitely NOT use to. I am use to being on a roller coaster... energy-wise and emotionally. It was all due to those stupid carbs! My emotions are as steady as my blood sugar. I can think clearly and sharply. I am LOVING this WOE! Does anyone think I should be trying to figure out the calories? What do others do about this? Would love to hear from everybody! Thanks for sharing!
BTW... I love having this place to hang out, and get away from the "war" thread. It is still so contentious over there, and gets so tiring constantly explaining the same thing to people over and over... people who just want to intellectualize the whole thing away... rather than giving it a try and finding out what the path/trip is all about. I honestly have not read ONE post where someone said "yah... I tried the carnivore thing out, and it SUCKED!... boy, I'm glad I'm back to eating veggies!" Even Serrelind came back after one day away and admitted that once on this WOE, there is no reason to go back to the old way. Oh, well, perhaps if we all just keep up this support thread, others will get curious, confront their demons, and give this a try. One can only hope. I'm just glad some of us have the sense to stay on the bus!
