Cheat Days… NOT Worth It.

If you’re thinking of cheating, do yourself a favor and don’t. I’m nearly a month into carnivore and have been experiencing numerous benefits… (12 pounds lost, no acne, more energy, less social anxiety, etc) and after a one day binge on pizza & taco bell, I feel horrible. I’ve gained back 7 pounds of water weight overnight, I have zero energy, an annoying headache thats lasted two days, stomach pain and some intense bloating. I can’t believe I used to live life like this before starting this WOE… so yeah, moral of the story is cheat days are NOT worth it. I’m back on track and not making that mistake again.

Edit: after 4 days of eating carnivore (red meat, butter, salt, shrimp & a little cheese) I’m back in ketosis and feeling good. I think it goes without saying, but that momentary feeling of pleasure wasn’t worth several days of discomfort.. food is fuel, NOT entertainment.
