For most people.  Some are hyper-responders and may be best served by avoiding completely.

Right, in general I mean.

You gotta be eating at least SOME fiber, or you're going to have conversations with yourself on the toilet like "Funny, I don't *remember* swallowing a softball covered in broken glass."

Cut out sugar, keep portion sizes reasonable, and exercise, and you should be losing weight.  If not, cut *some* of the complex carbs as well.

Not true at all.

Actually the truth is the complete opposite.  I had a cheat day and ate sushi (friends came from up north and wanted sushi) I swear it felt like I crapped an anvil. I think the fiber (seaweed and rice) is what did it.

If I eat carbs I feel like crap.  
More energy.
Skin seems to have improved (no zits)

LOL, but no, unless you were eating brown rice sushi.   Almost all of the fiber in rice is in the bran, which goes away to make white rice.  The Nori seaweed used in sushi has almost no fiber as well.

Could be gluten.  Wheat is the #2 ingredient in soy sauce and some sushi chefs add wheat flour to the rice to make it stickiers.

Most of the time the complaints with a strict carnivore diet include diarrhea.

Cut out the carbs.  You'll lose weight quicker and feel better.  Make sure you eat enough fat.

Keep up the good work.  I’m fasting today (helps when I feel I hit a plateau)

This diet does hit in the wallet.  
New jeans
New belt (last one was an SOE cobra, best belt I ever owned)
New shoes (feet losing fat)
New thermals for hunting (my R rating has dropped a bit)

My goal is to drop weight, that’s my primary goal.

I'm with you. My pants were getting tight (again) and I refuse to buy another size bigger. That's my line in the sand. 5'10 and 235. I was 180 before my accident 2 years ago. Gym rat in high school. Now, I can't believe I'm 50 pounds overweight.

So almost a week ago I gave up carbs. All of them unless trace amounts in things I can't control.

I've counted calories (unsustainable for my situation). I've done paleo (worked, but too much work if you know what I mean). I've done Atkins (worked, but a single crouton in a salad and I fell off the wagon). I've done keto (I actually GAINED weight doing keto. I over-ate a ton).

So now I'm trying something else which I think has a good chance for me.  I am living on eggs, bacon, butter and meat (primarily fatty chuck roast steaks). I am not weighing anything or counting anything. No ratios or micros or macros. I need simple. I don't need a huge variety.

Breakfast: coffee. 3 strips of bacon. 2 eggs fried and bacon grease and topped with salt, hot sauce and melted butter.

Lunch: this one was always hard for me. My office orders in lunch everyday. I would typically eat some big burger or pasta dish. These restaurants don't exactly have the nutritional info on the menu so I couldn't track anything. I quit ordering. Now I bring a single hard boiled egg for lunch and cover it in salt and pepper. I might add a cheese stick to this as my afternoons haven't been great.

Dinner: I've been eating roughly a pound of fatty beef that a melt butter onto when it comes off the grill.

That's it. Except water. More than usual because of the much more frequent urination. I am still taking a multivitamin, 6000IU of Vit D and a magnesium pill to combat the pretty bad leg cramps I get at night.

I'm down 5 pounds (yes, I'm aware it's water weight but it is nice to see the scale going down and my pants fit better) in the first week and I'm feeling a resolve I've never had before when I've changed my eating. Yes, I'm hungry. Yeah, it's been hard. Really hard. Like fuck-the-world hard. But I can't keep gaining weight. I don't even want to get out of bed anymore. At least I didn't - now I'm started to be a bit more hopeful about the future.

My freezers at home are full of deer, antelope, beef, chicken, lamb and fish. I'm going to eat the hell out of nothing but meat (and meat byproducts) and see how this goes. I gave up alcohol and soda completely almost a year ago (and STILL gained weight!!) so I'm not fighting that, which is nice.

Tested with low T a year ago but never did anything about it. Now I have an appointment in a few days with a very respected HRT doctor.

So keep up the good work. You're a lot father into this than I am but I think we're onto something here.

I know nothing changes until something changes.
