Regaining mental & physical health the F·R·E·S·H way
… Are you interested in a carnivore or semi-carnivore diet for health, weight loss, confidence and well-being? My aim is to gather as much information as I can to help others, whilst recording my own 150lbs weight loss journey.
I’m Carnivore-ish Cookie
and I’m on a mission to lose 150lbs on an animal-based diet.
Past traumas left me battling anxiety, stress, depression, agoraphobia, PTSD, addiction and obesity for decades. Like so many of us, I tried diet after diet but gained more weight every time; trying to resist temptation only made my cravings and binge eating worse. I was trapped in a cycle of addiction and low self-worth with no end in sight.
Life stopped in its tracks when I suffered a scattering of nervous breakdowns. I had no choice but to face my issues head on and find a way to rebuild. As part of the long and challenging healing process I began to actively listen to my body.
It led me naturally towards fasting, time-restricted eating and a semi-carnivore diet rich in animal products. Meat, eggs, butter, cheese and cream with the odd low-sugar fruit or veg thrown in was all it seemed to want. It also craved quality sleep, hydration and gentle exercise.
It took a few more challenging years spent suffering the addiction cycle to finally learn that sugar is my enemy and animal fats are my friend. I worked out that so long as I focus on five simple things – fasting, resetting, exercise, sleep and hydration – I seem to do better in every area of my life. I call it the F·R·E·S·H way.
Since then I’ve embarked upon a long journey to lose 150lbs on a carnivore-ish (also known as semi-carnivore or ketovore) diet. Unfortunately I’m in and out of quite severe anaemia because of a B12 and vitamin D deficiency, so that’s making things a little more difficult.
I’ve decided to record my progress on the Carnivore-ish Cookie websit and on the Carnivore-ish Cookie YouTube channel to help keep myself accountable and learn as much as i can about this lifestyle. I hope my experience and resources will be of some help to you on your own path back to mental and physical health.
