Old interview with an updated commentary: November 2023

Introduction

In the heart of Riga, Latvia, Olga’s story unfolds as a testament to the transformative power of the Carnivore Diet. Her journey is not just about dietary changes; it’s a narrative of rediscovery, resilience, and remarkable health transformation. Growing up with a wholesome diet featuring raw dairy, fish, and high-quality eggs, Olga’s early years were marked by nutritional richness. However, her path took a detour into the realms of vegetarianism and fruitarianism, influenced by Asian philosophy and beliefs about karma. This shift led her to confront severe health challenges, including skin issues, hair loss, and weight gain.

Olga’s turning point came through an enlightening conversation with an ex-vegan friend from California. This interaction, coupled with informative resources like sv3rige’s videos, paved her way towards the Carnivore Diet. A diet reminiscent of her childhood, yet profoundly different in its approach and implications. As we delve into Olga’s journey, we witness the profound impact of a diet that echoes ancestral eating patterns, yet is adapted to the modern lifestyle. Her experience is a vivid illustration of how reverting to a meat-centric diet can lead to significant improvements in physical health, mental clarity, and overall wellbeing.

Olga’s Carnivore Diet Experience: A Story of Transformation

Olga’s transition to the Carnivore Diet marks a significant chapter in her life, reflecting a deep-rooted shift from her earlier dietary practices. Having grown up in Latvia with a diet rich in raw dairy and quality proteins, her nutritional journey took a drastic turn during adolescence. Influenced by Asian philosophy and karma, Olga explored vegetarianism, eventually descending into a fruitarian diet. This period marked a troubling phase, as she battled with deteriorating skin health, dental issues, and hair loss.

The pivotal change occurred when an ex-vegan friend visited her from California. This visit, combined with informative online resources, sparked Olga’s curiosity about the benefits of animal-based products, leading her back to a diet resonating with her childhood. The Carnivore Diet, characterized by its emphasis on meat, fish, and dairy, became her new nutritional anchor. This diet closely resembled her early dietary habits, yet was adapted for her contemporary lifestyle, blending the wisdom of the past with modern needs.

Embracing the Carnivore Diet, Olga experienced a remarkable turnaround in her health. Her mood and mental clarity improved significantly, bringing a newfound sense of calmness that even her friends noticed. Physically, her skin, hair, and weight began to recover, signaling a return to her natural state of wellness. This diet not only rejuvenated her health but also aligned well with her active lifestyle as a surfer. The high-protein, nutrient-dense nature of the diet enhanced her athletic performance and recovery, proving essential for the rigorous demands of surfing.

Olga’s journey with the Carnivore Diet is a compelling testimony to the diet’s potential in restoring and maintaining health. It underscores the importance of understanding individual dietary needs and the powerful impact of returning to a more natural, ancestral way of eating.

Improved Mental Clarity and Mood

One of the most profound benefits Olga experienced on the Carnivore Diet was a significant improvement in her mental clarity and mood. This shift is a testament to the diet’s potential impact on cognitive and emotional well-being. The Carnivore Diet, with its focus on high-quality animal proteins and fats, provides essential nutrients that play a crucial role in brain health. These include omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and iron, all of which are vital for cognitive function and emotional regulation.

The absence of processed foods and sugar in the Carnivore Diet also contributes to this benefit. High-carb and sugary diets are often linked to mood swings and cognitive fog due to fluctuating blood sugar levels. In contrast, the Carnivore Diet stabilizes blood sugar, leading to a more consistent energy supply for the brain. This stability is key to maintaining focus, reducing anxiety, and promoting a balanced mood.

Olga’s experience mirrors these benefits. Her transition to the Carnivore Diet brought a noticeable change in her mental alertness and emotional state. Friends observed her newfound calmness, a clear indication of the positive changes unfolding within. This improvement in mental well-being is a compelling reason for individuals seeking a diet that supports not just physical health but also mental and emotional balance.

Enhanced Physical Health and Performance

The second significant benefit Olga reported was the improvement in her physical health and athletic performance. The Carnivore Diet’s emphasis on protein-rich foods is particularly beneficial for muscle repair, strength, and endurance. For active individuals like Olga, a surfer, this aspect of the diet is crucial. The high protein content aids in muscle recovery and builds strength, essential for demanding physical activities.

Additionally, the Carnivore Diet is naturally anti-inflammatory, reducing the risk of chronic inflammation, which can lead to various health issues. This anti-inflammatory effect is particularly beneficial for athletes, as it aids in quicker recovery from intense physical exertion and reduces the risk of injuries.

Olga’s surfing performance saw noticeable improvements after adopting the Carnivore Diet. Her endurance, strength, and recovery times improved, allowing her to engage in her sport more effectively and with less fatigue. This enhancement in physical health and athletic ability is a compelling endorsement of the diet’s potential for those who lead an active lifestyle or seek to improve their physical fitness.

Conclusion: A New Chapter in Health and Wellbeing

Olga’s journey with the Carnivore Diet is more than just a story of dietary change; it’s a transformative experience that has reshaped her life. From the struggles of skin issues, dental problems, and hair loss during her fruitarian phase to the remarkable recovery and enhanced wellbeing she enjoys now, Olga’s narrative is a powerful illustration of the diet’s impact. Her physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance have all seen significant improvements, painting a picture of holistic health rejuvenation.

The Carnivore Diet, often misconstrued as a mere trend, proved to be a return to a more natural and ancestral dietary pattern for Olga. It has not only revitalized her health but also aligned seamlessly with her active lifestyle as a surfer, enhancing her physical performance and endurance. The diet’s simplicity and focus on nutrient-dense foods have offered Olga a sustainable path to maintaining her health and wellbeing.

Olga’s story is a beacon of hope and inspiration for those exploring dietary solutions for health challenges. It demonstrates the profound impact that the right diet can have on one’s overall quality of life.

Interview with Olga

1) Introduce Yourself.

Hello, My name is Olga and I’m from Riga, Latvia

2) How did you eat before Carnivore.

Well, during my childhood I had quite good diet, we always had raw dairy, fish, good quality eggs, caviar  and so on at home.

I almost did not eat processed food.

Then around 12 years old I started to get interested in the Asian philosophy, karma and vegetarian diets. After that I almost stopped eating meat and began thinking it’s bad for me, then I slowly degraded into a vegan diet and then I got into the worst diet on the planet a fruitarian. It completely destroyed my skin, and almost my teeth. Still healing some post acne scars from the fruitarian diet. Also I began getting overweight and my hair was falling out.

3) Why did you try Carnivore to begin with.

Not so long ago I had an ex vegan friend visiting me from California, and he suggested that I was down and having a hard time to focus due to not eating enough animal based products. I was already eating meat and fish back then but obviously not enough.  Then I found sv3rige videos on youtube and more information. It encouraged me start on the carnivore diet which was actually quite similar to the one I had when I was kid.

4) How do you personally approach the Carnivore Diet.

I stick to a carnivore diet mainly but deviate when I travel, I go low carb. It’s hard to be 100% raw grass fed carnivore with a modern lifestyle. Although when I have access to good quality raw grass fed dairy and meats I do not miss a chance.

5) What benefits have you seen since starting the Carnivore Diet.

Since I’ve started incorporating more meat, fat and dairy into my diet my mood has drastically improved  and a mind clarity as well. Also I became more calm. Even friends had noticed that and always are asking me why I’m so calm these days :). My skin, weight and  a hair started to improve too.

6) What negatives have you found with the Carnivore Diet.

I don’t see anything negative in the carnivore diet . It’s a normal diet for me and it makes my parents happy when they see me eating fermented fish my father prepared and raw fatty meat.

7) Do you exercise on the Carnivore Diet, if so how do you find it and what do you do.

Yes I exercise a lot on the carnivore diet. I’m a surfer girl and during one surf session an average surfer needs to paddle around 7km, It’s quite a tough sport with a lot of cardio and some dangers, so, you have to be in a good shape in case of a big wipe out. Carnivore diet certainly improved my paddling and a surf performance in general. It made my recovery improve also.

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

I would suggest to try the carnivore diet but switch slowly. I would not recommend to go immediately into strict carnivore lifestyle.  It take a while for a body to adjust especially if you were eating a lot of carbs before.

9) Do you think Carnivore will ever be accepted as a mainstream diet.

The Carnivore diet is going to become a big trend although it might take up to 10-20 or maybe 30 years. We are at the beginning of it.

10) Anything you would like to add, and where can people follow your journey.
