My sleep pattern has changed and my resting heart rate has also increased over the last 4 weeks. 9 months carnivore 1 month keto/low carb under 60g.Not sure if it my body fighting off a virus as many at work have been sick. Sometimed sweating at night also. Leg cramps have decreased. No caffeine after 09.30. I have introduced pistachio and walnuts, 30g of oates, and low fat milk with coffee. These are the first things I am cutting out. Feeling less energy. Could be change in season. Going from autumn to winter. Inflammation low. The flip side is my REM and deep sleep are very strong, good sleep scores (80s) with fitbit air. I like to record my dreams. My routine is wired in between 7 and 8 hours but there are interruptions. Last meal between 4 and 6 depending on activities. Good info. No intention of adding supplements.

Cramps in legs and feet after approximately 4 hours sleep. Bed between 21.30 and 22.00. Take a shot of salt in 100ml warm water. Back to bed. Contractions again around 4am. Get quality REM and deep sleep between but the pain is a factor. Trying to take more salt at dinner between 16.00 and 17.00. Drink when thirsty. 350mg magnesium glycinate, glycine 1 hour before bed. Do stretching exercises before bed.

The elimination of food noise and an ideological perspective towards diet and food consumption options available has been transformed. I am in an elder phase of life now and my motto is 'Easy is Right'. Simplicity through discipline and adopting and ancestral pattern of bringing the elements of respecting one's nature through the lens of it. AFIB, obesity, alcohol, RA, and pain was the catalyst to begin the 'Easy is Right' living. Get busy dying or get busy living? Respecting one's body biologically, physically and spirituality the signals will become quieter. Carnivore has improved my energy levels, focus, calmness, independence, belief and taught me to enjoy every moment like my life depends on it, because it does. Where the sacred becomes ordinary and the ordinary becomes sacred. What improved? Everything has improved. Sleep has become a new job. Blood pressure is dancing to the right tunes, after meal walks watching the colours of the seasons change, the grateful acknowledgment on completion of a zone training session. The desire to learn about a body that is so complexed but needs the right enviroment to blossom. Loving myself again. Oh yea also that every meal is sacred. What became harder? Keeping the sugar addiction spirit quiet. The cravings that come at you from the days the past. The contracting of muscles at night (It's work in progress :)) Keeping peoples opinions at bay. Wanting results sooner. What did you have to adjust? I had to adjust the pattern of types of fat intake, frequency of intake, cortisol routine, recovery and rest signal acceptance, APOB and LDL activity response to nutrition, movement and clearance mechanisms. Building nutrition and body function strategies that keeps carnivore at core and using options available to test and adjust what works. For example the introduction of soluble fiber (psyillium, chia seeds, small amount of beta-glucan in oats to help with lipid clearance. Carnivore has taught me that simplicity, discipline and using it as a core component to test and adjust and listen to the body is key to improved health.

Started taking 10mg Ezetimibe 05.08.26. New Blood work 08.09.26 Blood work 05.08 08.09 Total Cholesterol 12.7 6.1 HDL 1.5 1.7 LDL 12.7 4.1 Apob 3.32 1.27 CRP <5 <5 ALAT 55 29 ASAT 33 AbA1C 28 (4.7) GFR 74 84 This was started the same time as the introduction of Psyllium husk 1 tbls / Chia seeds 1 tbls every morning with 30g Oates (Beta glucans). The drop is quite significant in just over 1 month. The biological perspective is that yes, the medication contributed but also the introduction of fiber to support clearance in tandem with resistance training, walking after meals, and regular meal timing.

@Jenni Lung Hi Jenni. Thank you for the post. Yeah the heavy cream. It quickly became an addictive routine with the coffee. I never had coffee with cream before. I have now swapped it for 60ml 1% lactose free milk in each cup. I love 2 big cups. But yeah that cream.... also bacon I saw contributed to high ldl / apob. All the best on this way. N.

@Maurice Daher Thank you for your response Maurice. An update to the post from earlier in this thread. Building my own health pattern. My quest and development towards lowering this has been driven mainly by A-pob and LDL markers which were highly elevated. It has evolved in different directions due to my own research, valuable information on this forum, testing and discovery of what works in regards to the biggest factor or keeping RA quiet / CRP low. In the last month I have tested and adjusted eating routines, cortisol management, fat to protein ratios and types, simplified meal structures, sleep and introduced low carbs that are focused towards high fiber management (1 tbls Psyllium, 1 tbls Chia seeds, 30g oats, at breakfast - supported by 30g of walnuts / pistachio nuts between lunch and dinner at 4.30pm) whilst also starting a temporary course of 10mg Ezetimibe. The rest has been lean meat ground beef, salmon, eggs and carnivore at core. This was started 05.08.26 from last blood work to today 08.09. Blood work 05.08 08.09 Total Cholesterol 12.7 6.1 HDL 1.5 1.7 LDL 12.7 4.1 Apob 3.32 1.27 CRP <5 <5 ALAT 55 29 ASAT 33 AbA1C 28 (4.7) GFR 74 84 The direction of movement has been significant and I believe that the medication and the addition of fiber towards cholesterol clearance has been one important element of the shift. Energy has improved recently and although cramps at night are still an issue (Timing of Ezetimibe suggested moved from supper to bedtime.) This is the next phase. The evidence that CRP did not move because of the reintroduction of a low carb based fiber addition has helped me find confidence towards having that option as means of supporting lipid clearance in conjunction with movement, zone training, keep carnivore core to apparatus of monitoring signals as they come. I just thought you should know the effect after 4 weeks. I will continue with the routine as BP is solid at low 100's in the morning, RHR at 53. I did not expect such a change so quickly. Thank you for your knowledge, support and time with all you do.
