It's way easier to just fully stay sober from it than to try to moderate an addiction. I've successfully quit a few times and life is better sober, then I allow myself one diet soda and it eventually cascades into multiple caffeine drinks throughout the day.

I'm gonna taper off again and this time I'm staying away. No more caffeine at all, not even one drink. It just leads to full blown addiction for me every time 😭

I was on strict carnivore diet for a few months. (Until I finally started reintroducing fruit the last week or two and my symptoms started resolving)

Worst diet I've ever tried

Cons:

*Bad sleep, kept waking up in the middle of the night

*Poor electrolyte balance, always was very thirsty throughout the day and needed to add in electrolytes. Still wasn't enough

*Cravings for non animal foods, and not being able to consume any. Getting sick of meat

*My physique remained skinnyfat. Couldn't gain muscle or lose fat. Just eternally stuck skinnyfat.

*Very low energy. I was dependent on caffeine drinks just to get through my day. The diet provided almost no energy

*Worse lipids. My LDL and total cholesterol shot up dramatically

*Too expensive. No one is out here only eating ground beef and eggs. Beef is spendy.

*Worse skin tone / texture. I got more bumps and looked pale / sickly in the face. Also worse bags under my eyes

*Developed xanthelasma under one eye

Now I'm on a whole foods omnivore diet and am healthier and leaner than ever. Not skinnyfat anymore, lean and athletic instead. And my sleep is better, more energy, better skin, etc

Pretty much each of those cons is better now

Carnivore copers call me a liar when I share this experience, lol
