Just smaller all over. Firmer everywhere. Closer up below. More definition in the stomach. Will post something in the face/arms soon. But I’m pleased with my results. Three months on keto before first picture was even taken (15 pounds lighter) then another six or so on carnivore which I’ve maintained since resuming a restricted keto. I feel great. And have done well adding lettuce and cruciferous vegetables in, a bit of tomato based soups.
Not bad for 63 1/2
It’s nice to feel you look better, but I have to say feeling better is way more important. I think a modified keto might work well for most people, though I highly encourage experimenting. I am certain eating clean: grass fed meat, free range chickens, wild game, Atlantic salmon, seafood, organic produce, healthy fats, olive oil and saturated fat from grass fed meat, some organic or wild berries. Organic dairy if you can’t get raw. Most people will feel great. Some people do well as vegans but only if they stay away from processed carbs, stick to whole foods.
Next year we will put in a sauna. Studies show that five days in a sauna lowers risk of heart disease. And it’s FUN! And of course I do the Warriormade workouts three days/week.
I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…
