How Much Does Cheating Hurt You On A Carnivore Diet?

"A little bit turns into a lot with addictions". That's so true. A cheat day for me turns into cheat weeks. It's hard to turn it off.

After a certain point on carnivore, "cheating" becomes instantly toxic. I had a small serving of innocent pie & ice cream and was in bed by 7pm and feeling terrible for the next 24hrs. There really is no compromise with this way of eating.

This is what I needed to hear today. Been watching too many vids of ‘Carnivores’ eating carbs. It does not end well. I’m sticking with beef, bacon, butter, eggs.

8 months carnivore and I'm feeling good. Fell down a bit of a rabbit hole a couple of months into it when I listened to the 'stick of butter a day for hormonal health' folks. Was a terrible idea for me, I just got addicted to butter at the expense of eating good protein. Back on the wagon now, though, just meat and eggs. Since ditching the butter, the weight has pretty much fallen off and in another month I should have my high school 25" waist back. 😀

Having struggled with unhealthy diets for years, it's kind of amazing that I can eat 2 steaks and 10 eggs a day and still lose inches. Will never ever go back on the sugar rollercoaster!

I'm on day 3 of carbs after eating carnivore for 3 months. My cravings were gone. Now I'm struggling to get back to carnivore. I threw away being fat adapted for Domino's Pizza after drinking alcohol. My carb cravings are back. It's NOT WORTH IT!

Heavy whipping cream in my coffee has really helped my cravings …hope this helps someone else🤷‍♀️🥩Thanx for keeping these new and fresh 🙏🏻

As a wise professor once said, "when you cheat, you are only cheating yourself. You prevent yourself from doing whatever activity correctly, so when it comes time to do it, you cannot do it."
Not a verbatim quote but the meaning is the same. DO NOT CHEAT. You only make it harder for yourself.

If you find you cannot not help yourself to some carb food source, then do not purchase it in your shopping. Keep such things out of the house. By not having tempting carb items, you do not have to struggle with your addiction.

I can confirm what he’s saying. I cheated the other day by eating a couple of shrimp tacos and a slice of cheesecake. I’m craving carbohydrates intensely today and this feeling will take me days to get through. I’m very disciplined that I won’t cheat again for several weeks, but it really is an awful feeling trying to start over. I really have to reevaluate if cheating is worth it.

I've been on carnivore for a year and last week I had my first cheat meal, I ate an Dairy Queen ice cream with oreos, m&ms and snickers, and I had a bodyache for two entire days and a sore throat for an entire week. Fortunately I haven't eat any carb after that.

Unfortunately true 😭😭 dealing with addictions right now

Fell off track recently with apples, oranges, Iranian tomato paste and a bit of dark chocolate. Now slowly trying to restore my original woe 😅

[Milana_Kay]

I've been noticing that I feel my best when I eat lion. But I have a soft spot for butter with eggs 😅 so that's my "cheat" haha

[cisco]

Your right I am addicted and do feel like crap when I cheat. Thank you for explaining this.

My favorite cheat item is a bacon-wrapped, ricotta cheese stuffed jalapeño bought in a box of 18 at Costco. I will have two along with a steak, and I am in heaven. So it's mostly carnivore, except for the jalapeño

[shun]

If I cheat, I make sure to only eat high fat cheats like cheesecake and ice cream, I can live without the rest, certainly not eating seed oil laden processed candies

[Silentnomore]

I’ve always done cheat days on diets but this time I really don’t have the appetite or cravings for it. I have also notice that I am becoming more sensitive to seasonings so that m kind of afraid to cheat, I don’t need to be in the bathroom for the weekend over pizza.

[DailyDoseOfJoy]

a spoon full of butter in your coffe tastes awesome and hekps alot with cravings

[cookiesisaac]

I know I know! I have been cheating since my birthday. I feel like crap!

[kimpeterson]

Thank you I have wondered this very thing!

Dr Boz citing a study with ROTC students said that cheating resulted in a 5 day setback.
Sorry I couldn’t find the exact video. She also cited ketogenic Navy Seal study that was also interesting.
