Arla’s Triumph Over Colitis and Anxiety with the Carnivore Diet

Written by:

Introduction

Hey, folks! Buckle up, because today we’re diving into a story that’s nothing short of miraculous! Remember Arla? Yeah, the one who used to be a vegetarian and struggled with anxiety and colitis? Well, she’s back, and boy, has she got a tale to tell! This story is a testament to the transformative power of the carnivore diet. So, why is this noteworthy? Because it challenges everything we’ve been told about “healthy eating.” Let’s get into it, shall we?

Arla’s Carnivore Journey

Arla, a 44-year-old mom of two, was once a vegetarian. Can you believe it? She switched to the carnivore diet after seeing her friend’s success in managing colitis. The first few weeks were, let’s just say, a rollercoaster! But she stuck with it, and by the end of a 30-day challenge, she was a new woman! She felt so good that she decided to make it a lifestyle. Now, she enjoys her ribeyes and eggs without a second thought. And guess what? Her body thanked her for it!

Bye-Bye Anxiety!

One of the most striking benefits Arla experienced was a significant reduction in her anxiety levels. How did that happen? The carnivore diet is rich in essential nutrients like Omega-3s, which are known to improve mental health. She went from being anxious to feeling like she was floating on cloud nine! No more jittery nerves, just pure zen!

Digestive Bliss

Another jaw-dropping benefit? Her digestive issues vanished! Arla used to suffer from bloating and stomach aches so frequently that she thought it was “normal.” But guess what? It’s not! The carnivore diet, rich in easily digestible proteins and fats, gave her digestive system the break it needed. No more bloating, just a happy tummy!

Conclusion

Arla’s life has taken a 180-degree turn for the better. She’s healthier, happier, and more energetic than ever before. And the best part? She’s not alone! Many people are discovering the incredible health benefits of the carnivore diet. So, if you’re struggling with similar issues, maybe it’s time to give this meaty lifestyle a try!

Hold your horses! Before you jump in, remember that this is a review of an older post. We can’t confirm if Arla is still on the carnivore diet or if she’s maintained these benefits. And hey, I’m not a doctor, so consult a professional before making any drastic changes to your diet.

Interview with Arla

Introduce yourself:

My name is Arla! I am 44 and the mom of two teenagers. I love essential oils, hiking, yoga, traveling, and hanging around positive people. I have my own business in health and wellness and love it!

How did you eat before carnivore?

I grew up not liking anything “green”. I didn’t like the taste or the way it made me feel. At the age of 18 I ate my first salad after gaining weight in college. I was told this was what I had to eat to lose weight. When I was in my late 20’s I ate the standard American diet. When my children were young, overnight I went vegetarian at the age of 32. It wasn’t because I didn’t like meat it was for the animals. It was a long seven years. I started off as a terrible vegetarian. I learned later to make salads the way I liked them. I began to add back in meat after I continued to break out in miserable itchy rashes. I went on an elimination diet my doctor put me on. In the end, I was down to apples and all my body wanted was meat. I listened to my body and incorporated it back in my diet over the next few years. I became a Holistic Health Coach and began to eat what I considered “healthy and clean”.

Why did you try carnivore to begin with?

I heard about this way of eating from one of my best friends who was having great success with her colitis. We had been friends for many years and I have seen her struggle first hand. I decided to “try” this insane diet for 30 days.. because I love a good 30-day challenge! I had also decided this would be great for research. The first few weeks were a disaster. My body went into freak out mode going from eating carbs/sugars to no carbs/sugars. I was determined to do this challenge like a BOSS! By the third week, I had feelings of clarity and euphoria. By day thirty I was beside myself with how much better I felt. This way of eating was against everything I had ever learned. I decided to continue.

How do you personally approach the carnivore diet?

I began this way of eating last year. It turned into a lifestyle. I begin my day with coffee in the morning and heavy whipping cream. My favorite foods are grass fed beef, eggs and ribeye with salt (these were also my favorites as a child). I usually eat a few times a day and do a natural daily intermittent fast. I have to say I love the way I feel! It is important to me to have so much gratitude for the animals that provide us with these nutrients!

What benefits have you seen since starting the Carnivore Diet.

Some of the benefits I felt were:

  • My cravings for carbs and sugars went away
  • My anxiety levels were dramatically reduced
  • The bloating had disappeared (this was incredible to me)
  • No rashes
  • My body became leaner
  • My poop was normal
  • A sense of clarity
  • Minimalism
  • Feelings of peace and calmness
  • More energy
  • I used to have daily stomach aches and it was “normal” to me. I realized this was NOT NORMAL. Since going carnivore, stomach aches are a thing of my past.

What negatives have you found with the carnivore diet?

At times it has been awkward to go out to eat but I usually have a big meal prior to heading out with friends. Other than that it’s very simplistic. I enjoy doing so much in life. I feel like this gives me more time freedom. I used to spend tons of time food prepping, chopping and stressing about what to make. Now it’s just simple. I have to admit I’m still scared to use a grill but it’s on my list to learn.

Do you exercise on the carnivore diet? If so how do you find it and what do you do?

Of course! I feel it’s so important to move the body! I love to hike and practice yoga. I am starting to incorporate weights. This is a very new venture for me and I’m excited to begin.

What piece of advice would you give someone who is interested in trying this diet, but hasn’t taken the leap yet?

I would say if they are ready for a change to give it a thirty-day trial! GO ALL IN! They can decide from there to continue with carnivore or add certain foods back in and see how they feel.

Do you think carnivore will ever be accepted as a mainstream diet?

I don’t know. I think more and more people are having massive positive changes in their health with this way of eating. The word is getting out and people are curious. I’m interested to see where it goes and how the research evolves. I will continue to honor my body and do what feels right for ME.

    Carnivore diet? Is that the same as keto? I did keto for a year and a half and felt great. I achieved my weight goals, had energy, and enjoyed what I ate. But then blood tests said I couldn’t keep doing it. Bad cholesterol numbers. So, reluctantly, I said farewell to all that bacon.

      There is a good chance you were wrongly advised on your cholesterol numbers. Ldl or total cholesterol scores are pretty worthless. You want high hdl and low triglycerides. Check out work by Dave Feldman, Cholesterol Code.
