Hey guys! I could really use some advice on how to stay consistent with this lifestyle.
It’s been 3 years since I moved to the States, and my body still hasn’t adjusted to the food here. Unless I stick strictly to clean protein, I get horribly bloated, break out in acne, and gain weight. This happens even though I maintain a very active and healthy lifestyle overall (I’m active all day, work out regularly, and eat what most would consider "healthy" foods).
I’ve found that the carnivore/animal-based approach is absolutely perfect for my body. The first time I tried it, I stuck to it for 3 weeks and felt amazing! But ever since then, I keep trying to commit and eventually fail to keep it going long-term.
Long story short: the week before my period is always incredibly hard. My mind just screams for sugar specifically açaí bowls. I don’t really crave anything else, just that one specific thing.
I really want to stick to this way of eating because it’s the only thing that actually helps heal my gut and my skin. How do you all handle PMS cravings and stay consistent without falling off the wagon? Any tips or ideas would be so appreciated!
