I seem to tolerate protein pretty well, but the main thing I notice if I eat too much protein is that I'm very thirsty for an hour or two after a meal. If I really over do it, I'll get get hot and sweaty overnight ... but that hasn't happened for ages. Not even sure if I could eat enough protein to get "the meat sweats" anymore! Maybe I should try.
When I was first doing keto, I'd feel kinda weird and gross if I ate a lot of protein (over 200g), but that doesn't seem to happen on strict carnivore. So maybe I adapted to higher protein, or maybe there's something about not having carbs/fibre with protein?
Note I wasn't trying to lose weight, I was trying to get rid of autoimmune symptoms.
Random question, but how is stool consistency and frequency on your mostly cream diet? I assume output is much lower. Do you still go daily? Did any of your experiments make digestion worse? Curious how they all differed? Thanks!
Pretty great. I go once or twice every day (I don’t exactly count lol) and it’s very small but comes out easy & is pretty firm.
Most things make my digestion worse compared to this, yes. E.g. potatoes and sweet potatoes I can’t seem to digest at all en masse. They just sit in my stomach forever.
High protein eventually gives me constipation and then diarrhea. Same for super high fiber stuff.
You are an inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks!
Long live the cream ♥️
After the cream is before the cream

Same for the thirst for me. I attribute it to protein spiking my insulin.

Also, do you supplement electrolytes such as potassium or sodium or magnesium?
No
