Just to be clear, this result is not me eating carnivore. This is me allowing myself to eat 20% of my diet from foods not considered keto or carnivore. When I say that, I mean things that may be cooked in seed oil, bread, or sometimes sugar. I stay as close to keto as possible with all that has been happening in my life. I would hear people tell me, "A little won't hurt you." For me, it hurts a lot. As you can see in my HbA1c results from Everlywell, I am right in the middle. I could go either way. It really depends on my and my choices. Red is diabetes and Green is optimal health for me. 

I check my glucose often and I am usually in the 70-90 range. I honestly was shocked to see this result. I wish I had done this when I was strict keto. I decided to test my inflammation, glucose and my thyroid before I do Carnivore Level 1. I will not cheat or stray. I will be strict and will share on my Instagram what I am eating and drinking. It may get very boring. I will eat beef (nose to tail), Redmond Real Salt, and water. I will drink bone/meat broth in place of my usual coffee. 

I am not saying it will be easy, but it will be worth it. Once I am done, I will retest to see where my markers are. You are welcome to follow along. I am a 48 year old woman who is menopausal and I suffer from hypothyroidism. I do not believe keto healed that for me. It healed a lot, just not that. I have a metabolism test I need to take before I start as well and will get results for that. My temperature runs at around 97.4. I feel that is low and part of my problem. 

I am happy I have these tests to measure something besides weight. I feel everyone should see where they stand. Seeing this makes me realize even more that I have important decisions to make. I want to lean towards optimal health. I truly believe eating carnivore will lead me on that path. I will start with beef, then move to level 2 and so on. I will document my journey. I know no one's path will be the same, but I believe a wholesome way of eating has a positive result for most of us. 

I will start the 30 days soon. I wanted to be realistic and make sure I have everything I need to stay the course. I want REAL results. I want to be strong and healthy once again.

    Keto since January 2018. Traveling into Carnivore territory with the plan to go 30 days beef, salt and water only, for healing of hypothyroidism and eczema.
