Incredible. Congrats!

I have always had interest in the carnivore diet but cant rationalize such a restricted diet and not eating carbs. The modified carnivore or "animal based" with fruits and certain veg and or grains seems to have some merit but I try to avoid dogma when it comes to diet.

I wondered about using it as a reset and to implement an elimination diet.

I think im going to have to commit to this for the Month of February.

Can you tell me what you daily meals look like? How you felt transitioning to this diet? Did you get the "keto flu"? Do you plan to re-introduce carbs as others have mentioned?

I thought the same way to be honest. But between the psoriasis and ibs I was physically and mentally struggling.
I was able to have a food sensitivity test done, which showed I am very sensitive to all dairy, all yeast, and several fruits and vegetables.
I know there are a lot of "influencers" out there promoting this and that, and it's very easy to get mired in the minutia.
For the time being, I'm sticking to eggs and bacon for breakfast; lunch might be sardines, tuna, hamburger. Sometimes (maybe weekly) I have an avocado. Dinner is hamburger or steak, roast, pork chops - whatever was on sale. High fat, and lots of salt.
I feel really good, my blood pressure is good, my energy is up.
My transition was very long, because I was doing an elimination diet on my own to try to pinpoint what food was causing my issues. So I really didn't get the "keto flu", there was a week or so where I felt pretty tired, but I chalked that up to healing.
I cheated the other day and had some french fries! They didn't cause any symptoms, so I'm cautiously adding a few fun foods back, that aren't on my no fly list. One at a time and wait a few days to see the effects.
I'm going to my regular doctor next week for bloodwork, we'll see what that shows. That may determine whether I stick to strictly carnivore, or go more ketovore type eating. But I feel really healthy for the first time in many years, so that's my reason for sticking with carnivore.
Feel free to reach out , I'm no expert but I'm learning as I go and happy to help if I can
