Oh my this is really taking off. I love hearing these first hand accounts.
This must be the diet for horseplayers as the success rate seems quite high around here.
cj - After an initial burst lulls are common, but most people that I've talked to report that riding it out was the smart move. Just let your body do it's thing. 38 lbs is significant. I see no reason why you couldn't hit your goal. When I first started my initial goal was to get under 300, now I'm at 167. Anything is possible. Great job!
thask - wow thask you too! Rigorous weightlifter with those dimensions? You are in better shape for your age than the vast majority. Stick with it and eventually you'll want to drop those unnecessary green things too.
I'm sure people think I'm blowing smoke when I say that I've never felt better in my life, but I'm dead serious.
Track Collector - hey welcome to the club. 20 pounds is nothing to sneeze at over a 2.5 month period. Keep at it and if exercise isn't your thing just remember that I've found it has little to do with losing weight. Do as much as you feel like doing but don't think you have to overdo it.
A couple folks have reached out to me via private message, and I've shared further information with them both. One in particular is really making what appears to be great progress. I won't mention him by name in case he doesn't want it made public. However if he or others who are testing the waters want to use this as a regular place to "check in" with your progress well, I think that would be a pretty cool way to extend the life of this thread in a positive direction.
As for myself I'm still at the same weight I was when I started this thread over three months ago. I've been tweaking my diet a bit and have experimented with different meat eating plans. Still eating once per day, but eating a little less meat but more animal fat. I've also dropped cheese and eggs some time ago and I really don't miss them. My entire diet now consists of beef, pork, pork fat, butter, salt, pork rinds, coffee with heavy cream, mineral water and two small pieces of very dark chocolate per day. No supplements, vitamins, prescriptions or illness. October 1st will mark one year since I went carnivore. I've cut back on my running to 3 times per week which is enough.
Still feeling great in all respects.
