Egg Fast

How long have you been in carnivore?

i wouldn't call eating eggs a fast but there is a guy who was eating around 30 eggs a day for over 50 years and had no health problems when tested. i don't see how this could go wrong for you. except if this is the cleanest you've ever eaten in which case there is a high chance of you having oxalate dumping symptoms. you will feel awful in some sort of way and feel like you just can't go on... go eat something high in oxalates like spinach and if all the bad feels leaves you a couple hours later then it was 100% oxalate dumping. if that happens you just need to ease into a diet change like that way more slowly. and maybe drink tea to slow the oxalate dumping to something you can handle experiencing. good luck!

I haven't done one, but I've done a 3 day water fast (with coffee + heavy whipping cream). Did this when not feeling well, didn't need to break fast due to hunger or anything else, so it gets easier.  Breaking the addictions to food and using food as an emotional outlet is key.

since early 2019 i think. yeah. the satiation is real and sticks around as long as you have enough fat in your meat. 🐱

About 6 months now, I was diagnosed with CSID last Sept, I was already low carb but was still eating starchy veg which was the thing that was still giving me gut issues. Since going full on mostly lion diet my gut issues have cleared up 90%, my body aches are gone, no more allergies, my sun tolerance is much higher (I no longer use sunscreen), my mental health and sharpness is great. All in all i am very satisfied so far with my results. I mostly eat TMAD beef and lamb with some canned salmon, Mackral and sardines to break the monotony, I have tried eggs with mixed results, they need to be from a clean organic non grain fed source otherwise I react to them. I limit my dairy to organic butter and a little hard cheese occasionally. We have just started making our own Dr William Davis SEBO yogert which so far is going down ok. I have only just in the past couple of weeks reintroduced coffee, I enjoy it and it allows me to socialise in the weekends easier.

One of my big surprises/joys is not having the emotional baggage of what to eat.  I mean the nostalgia connected to food is an emotional noose.  Food is fundamentally for nutrition to be the men and women we ought to be at our best.  Nostalgia and emotion are levers of control ultimately.  Did you find the fasting fixing how you felt?
