Living at a healthy weight is something that I reached. It did not come naturally to me due to a genetic advantage.
Back when I felt stuck, I had a great story to explain to myself and the world why I couldn’t change. I was raising a family, there were work and financial pressures, other family members wanted junk food in the house, and even if I got out of the house, social gatherings kept the cards stacked against me. I had my story well-rehearsed and could find plenty of evidence to defend it. So, I held onto it and spent many years being right and feeling miserable.
If you lose weight only to gain it back, you feel stuck, or you are simply looking for a way to make weight control easier, it is worth taking a look at your story. We’ll do that in this blog post.

“To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.” ~Michael Jordan

“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.” ~Truman Capote
You’ve likely heard sayings like this before that put failure in a positive light and make it look like a good thing to experience.

To follow a carnivore diet in its truest sense, you only eat animal meats and fats. Those who practice it report weight loss, blood sugar stability, more energy, better mental focus, and the list goes on.
A criticism of the diet is that it lacks research, leading to the question, “How does staying on this diet affect long-term health?”
I agree that there are benefits, and I agree that we won’t know the full health story until more substantial studies have been done. So, I thought, what would happen if I added a few days of carnivore a month to my typical low-carb diet? In other words, practice carnivore intermittently. And what I am calling Intermittent Carnivore was born.
This blog post shares what I eat and how often I do it.
