Fairly sore all over

Ate more carbs at night - fruit and honey, and my hunger was triggered severly!


complete rest day - didn't feel like doing anything


Saturday 11th May 2024

Lower body and posterior chain still achey and bruised feeling, but upper body is OK

Just ravenous today.
All I did was add some carbs onto my normal carnivore meals which keep me full for 8-12 hours, and I was hungry within 2 hours.
Guess my body is just crying for nutrients after 11+ months of low carbs (6+ keto, 5 carnivore).
And without ketosis masking my true hunger.

Smashed out 3500 calories - 226g protein, 212g fat, 182g carbs - and might eat even more before the day is over...
Recently has been around 1800-2800 calories

I'll be using the lower end of these macros for a test - https://www.paulsaladinomd.co/ab-guide#calculator

I don't like this lazy lethargic feeling, even though all the carbs are from apples, honey, avocado and cucumbers.
But I need the insulin spikes for the kidney, as I was no longer holding onto electrolytes after 5 months of ketosis on Carnivore.
Which caused all kinds of dry mouth and thirst, despite downing lots of salt/potassium/magnesium solutions

Poops have gone from once every 2-3 days, small one, to twice a day, and bigger ones already!  :o

And bodyweight has spiked up from the glycogen...
It should help my strength and muscle gain a bit

I'll try and keep things as before, and move all the carbs till post training and later in the day

little discomfort in left knee and right big toe. the toe pain makes sense, although it's the first time in a while i've tweaked that one. not sure what the knee is about. seems fine now. warm but not hot today, took it easy.

Easter madness is over, let's restart, 2.5 months straight now until summer holidays.

Run 7K @ 39:15 ( 5:36 pace )

Pretty good actually, i expected much worse. Pacing was off ( kept going too fast and then having to recover ) but other than that, all was fine.

Sore all over, but not too bad

Last night marks the end of my Carnivore diet, and a move to animal based instead.
I added in 4 grapes and a teaspoon of raw honey - and finally slept past 4-5 hours last night...

I think being in ketosis all the time, amped my body into fight and flight mode and so staying asleep is tough
It's great during the day, but not so at night.

So I'm adding in some low toxity carbs at night
But still it is fairly low, at under 50g.

I feel a bit puffy today... and I woke up with morning wood :)
