I've had a few days now off the carnivore challenge. I have loaded blueberry bushes and blackberry canes in my yard. I've been harvesting and freezing and eating these scrumptious berries. They are definitely not keto or carnivore, but irresistible, so I'm taking a break. I haven't gone carb crazy, but eaten enough berries to stall my ketosis and my weight loss. Next week, starting in a few days, I'll be on vacation with my kids and grandkids, I'll stay keto, because I just don't eat grains or sugar anymore, but I'm sure there will be no losses for the next 10 days or so. Also, It's birthday month in our family - 4 leos. My plan is to have whipped cream and berries when everyone else is eating cake and ice cream. Since I have Celiac and carb intolerance, I'm used to this.

I will get back to the carnivore challenge and fasting after my vacation week and hope to end the month strong. It looks like I won't hit my goal of getting into Onederland by my birthday on the 22nd, but maybe by the end of the month?

Since starting back keto good, I definitely notice that fruit seems more inviting than junk. Maybe it's because of the indoctrination?? Anyway... You're doing great! Enjoy your birthday and vacation, buddy!

Enjoy your vacation! I’ve seen lots of carnivore people add fruits occasionally to meals. I like berries and whipped cream better than cake anyway! Yum!
I froze some blueberries last night to make my blueberries/cottage cheese “ice cream”.

Blackberry are amongst the top lowest carb fruits. You just have to watch portions

That's the trick! I'm picking them by the colandars full - many quarts. It rained here for the entire month of July. I've never seen such fat happy berries!

LOL, I love the fat happy berries Erika, we were putting them in the colanders and about every other handful, we would eat a handful 🤣 they were so good! They did not derail me though, because I ate them on eating days. We missed the last batch due to a flock of birds, gotta get em in before the wild critters take them!

I am not keto or carnivore but like most people when I eat fruits, refined sugars or refined carbs I do feel my body being more "electrified". A nutritionist years ago told me to always eat a protein with those items because it will slow the rush. That's what I have been doing now for years. ***Disclaimer I did read some research articles and they did suggest this works. But who knows so much is how our bodies actually respond or is it a placebo or nocebo effect. If you really like berries you might want to see how your body reacts.

**eat at the same meal so they go through the digestive process at the same time.

I always eat them with yogurt or cottage cheese and sometimes nuts. Very low carb as fruit goes.

August seems to be "that" month we have 6 birthdays and an anniversary. Really jealous of your berries. They are a favorite but crazy expensive in the store.

My two granddaughters are visiting on the way to VT for our week together, and it's so much fun to take them out to the berry patch and watch them graze.
