Yea so I've been about 2 solid weeks on carnivore...had some rice and popcorn yesterday to see how my body reacted to carbs...i had no craving for them at all and didn't care, but wanted to see. I was sick of eating burgers and steaks, so i wanted to change it up.
I must say, in the last 2 weeks I've been very strong and have had stable energy. I have literally zero flatulence and but haven't gone to a bathroom in a few days. When I do, its not much. But I must say I've never felt like this on high carb, ever, not even on gear. I am currently not on gear and just am on clomid for IVF treatment and taking MK 677.
I know today's bodybuilding is all about max carbs as possible with lower fats, but I feel I don't need any carbs at all. Now obviously, being carnivore for life is not going to happen and I will be switching back to a balanced diet, and I only did the diet to reset insulin sensitivity. I know the 60's bodybuilders were low carb high fat with a high carb day Sundays... I feel like if I keep my fat high I could eat minimal carbs and do just fine.
Yet , took my DNA results from 23 and me and uploaded them up to a website that analyzes your DNA and tells you what you should be eating, according to your genes. It tells me the opposite, that I should be eating high carb, low saturated fat and lean meats. It says I'm lactose intolerant but I'm not. Anyway, I should be going off how I feel right?
I do believe we should eat like our ancestors. My ethnicity is Italian and they basically eat the Mediterranean diet; not much red me at all, mostly fish, pasta, beans, veggies, legumes, etc.
I get my blood work money to see what this carnivore has done. But is anyone else here feel like they run better on high fat lower carb?
