I have been around the vegan raw food space for over 40 years. In my thirties I did very well no illnesses, skin looked great no issues. I have even assisted a number of persons with their health concerns.
Fast forward to 50 plus and nothing worked as pertain to my diet and weight loss. So the weight piled on and no remedy to reduce the weight . It got so bad that one night I said Lord I need help.
You would not believe what happened next one day later. While on you tube looking for one of my favorite plant base you tubers – I scrolled down and clicked on “carnivore diet”. My mind started – “what are you doing- no way – for 40 years you learned something different- Fruits and vegetables , water, exercise, decrease stress. I
looked at about 5 other presenters but they were of Caucasian descent. Then my mind said to see if there were any African descendants eating this way (black people). To my disbelief I found “ Black Carnivore”. For the entire evening and into the early morning hours I listened to a number of videos posted on her channel.
Six hours later I quickly strolled into the grocery store in my community and purchased – 2 bags of organic chicken, 2 dozen organic eggs, 1 bag of salmon pieces and a 1/4 pound of cheddar cheese. I purchased the meat base items I would eat from time to time even though mainly vegetarian.
I decided try this way of eating because I was getting frustrated with food since most foods for the past 2 months irritated my stomach.
With nothing to lose here I am – day one. Three hours earlier before heading to the grocery store I ate two organic chicken drumsticks. By the time I was cashing out I began feeling hungry so as soon as I got home – I boiled 4 eggs, added 6 strips of turkey bacon to my air fryer and cut a very small slice of cheese ( lactose intolerant).
I drank one glass of water while the food was cooking. This diet recommend consuming water before and after the meal. When the food was ready I added hamalyan salt – I ate slowly- my mind was like – “ what are you doing” and the next second “you have nothing to lose”.
The food went down well. One hour later I visited my parents and oh boy I started sweating and my stomach felt very uncomfortable as if I may vomit anytime. I ignored the feeling and it subsided. Interestingly, I was not hungry around dinner time and I decided to consume water for the balance of the evening.
I continue to listen to black carnivore to ensure I got the basics. I also felt my stomach rumbling to go to the bathroom but nothing. Diarrhea was one of the symptoms to look out for.
On to day two.
