LOL you ate them allll :)
I have to admit, I did too, because my boyfriend can't handle eggs usually, so eats them as little as possible and my daughter, well she's a pain with food :)

but yours look nice as well! I rarely eat bacon, we had it at home always when we did keto though. Still trying to figure out what approach is best for my boyfriend now that his health issues are starting to get quite bad.

He drinks kurkuma with honey every day and this seems to calm stuff down thankfully, but then again, so many other things did as well (for a short time). He seriously has troubles eating so many things.

So sorry to hear about your boyfriend and his health struggles. That can be so trying!

I know you mentioned he had tried keto and carnivore for period of time. Did he have issues with the food choices or problems eating?

The way it seems, is that he develops some sort of allergy over time. For example, he discovers something that his stomach can handle without issues (pain, getting ill, not being able to lie down etc) and then of course, he eats this more often as he doesn't have many of these things. Until his body decides enough, and we are back to square one. He has watched numerous of documentaries about food: vegetarian, keto, carnivore you name it, he's well educated about it, but he has a hard time keeping up with any of them, even if they work.

This is partially due to the lack of quality food here. We aren't always able to drive to the bigger supermarkets that sell quality stuff and it's exactly those days that we eat stuff from the surrounding supermarkets, that he's struggling the most. I also know that it would be smart for me to make a decision we go for A. Keto again, or B. you carnivore (I can give it a try but I would prefer vegetarian as I just don't fancy much meat lol, a good steak HELL YEAH, but for the rest it's pretty shitty here quality meat-wise)

I'm determined to make a change this year, also health-wise. I will read through your journey a bit to see if I can use them to convince him :) lol

thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it!

best of luck on your journey and please reach out if you have any questions. I know carnivore isn't for everyone but it was good for me lolol

about 10 years ago I developed a red meat allergy from ticks that lasted about 6 to 9 months, it was horrible. I wonder if what he is dealing with could be parasitic like my red meat allergy?

I don't know, I don't think he's considered that option. Will ask him later when he's done with his meeting. You are bringing up something important, I remember him mentioning his dad had a parasite for years, but that was a souvenir from his time in the military.

He had a few exams (ultrasound, horrible examine with a camera as well) and never found something. Covid isn't helping to get him back to doctor either. Health care is horrible here, long waiting lists, communication sucks if there is any. He finally took the step again 2 weeks ago and his doctor is out of office due to covid. I will see if I can convince him to contact him again and explore this option you mentioned, we may be able to find some info and signs that it could be / or exclude it. Thanks!
