I bet you will go through withdrawal. Like I said, I thought I was good, but I don’t really lose weight on keto. Carnivore though, I feel way different. Wake up clear-headed. Sleep great. Never have any bad days. No anxiety or sadness. (Other than the first few days)
It’s basically an elimination diet. You essentially remove EVERY possible allergy from your diet and start on just red meat and electrolytes. Then, after a while, introduce one new food at a time and give yourself a few days to see how you feel.
I lost 7 pounds in two days but I assume that was water weight. Which makes no sense since I was already on a ketogenic diet. Oh well.
The kidneys are efficient at excreting excess salt. That said. Salt everything to your preference and be sure to get electrolytes. I start my day with 3000mg of ancient Utah sea salt in some water. I also take 1000mg of magnesium daily. Magnesium glycinate with my meal. And magnesium citrate at my bed side.
Our bodies tell us when we desire salt just like we thirst for water. Interestingly, the kidneys have a difficult time reabsorbinb salt which damages them over time. So it is healthier to over consume salt than to under consume.
I would compare the withdrawal to quitting cigarettes. I was just joyless for a good 24 hours. Part of the “keto flu”. If you ever have a headache: salt tablet. Just like when we used to play sports before Gatorade came along.
I’ve found I cannot lose weight on dairy. I enjoy heavy whipping cream in my coffee and actually gain weight over time. Dairy is inflammatory and cheese will often stall weight loss for a carnivore.
You won’t get backed up. You’ll likely get some painless squirts the first few days. But you will quickly learn that fiber is a myth and you’ll have the easiest poops ever on carnivore. If you are constipated, eat more fat. Oils will make it through the intestines if eaten in sufficient quantities.
My only real concern when it comes to safety is electrolytes. This diet dumps electrolytes like crazy and, like our ancestors, you’ll learn how valuable salt is. You’re a Viking after all: Your people literally hung salted fish up to dry in the sun to make jerky. Historically, Scandinavians ingested a lot of salt. I learned this from a book on salt.

Experiment with it. 30 days.
