Day 11 on the Carnivore Diet and I’m Having Second Thoughts…
I ended up in the ER today because of intense abdominal pain. I didn’t tell them about the diet—wanted them to assess things neutrally. The CT scan was clear—no kidney stones. But my bloodwork told a different story…
• High ketones (my body’s in full fat-burning mode)
• Low red blood cells and hemoglobin
• Traces of blood and protein in my urine
• Severely dehydrated
Blood sugar, sodium, and potassium are still in the normal range. But this kidney pain has me reconsidering. I wanted to do 30 full days, but now… I’m not so sure.
What I do know is: I need water. Lots of it. And maybe… a break
