Day 4 and I'm actually not doing to bad other than the headache gets pretty bad at times. My research tells me this is pretty normal when getting off of carbs and sugars. It's a lot like quitting smoking but I've seen some testimonials of people that went carnivore and kind of spontaneously quit smoking or alcohol. It's an interesting concept. I think much of the issue is inflammation, hormones and gut biome. As the inflammation heals, the hormones normalize and the gut biome stabilizes it changes who you are on a very microscopic level and the new you might be a non smoker. Anyway, I tipped the scale at 193.8 this morning so after 3 days i'm down 5.7 lbs. I'm sure most of that is water weight but I don't really care since I'm not suffering from the bloat or constipation. I'm also less concerned about weight and more focused on body composition. In regards to smoking, it doesn't seem to be causing any extra stress that would put my quit in jeopardy so whatever transition I have to suffer I'll deal with unless that changes. I hope everyone had a great day today and is getting ready to grab 2022 by the balls and beat it into submission. Stay smoke free everyone.

@jillarunfortunately I did try those candies and the problem is that I will crunch through a piece of hard candy in about 10 seconds and I won't stop until the bag is gone or I get sick enough I have to take a nap...and then I'll finish the bag regardless of sugar content. Now you know how and why I gained 40 lbs in 3 months. But I am trying to treat the sugar craves the same as nicotine craves and ride them out. If things do get to the point of breaking I will sacrifice the diet before I sacrifice the quit.

Day 3 of carnivore almost done. Somehow I have managed to not eat any of the leftover pecan pie for 3 days now. I haven't thrown it away yet because I'm afraid if I touch it I'll just end up shoving it down my throat. Maybe by tomorrow morning I'll have enough self control to get it out of the house through the side door instead of the toilet. That was gross. The scale showed me 195.0 this morning. I slept pretty good last night, I think I got about 6 and a half hours of sleep last night. That is a record for me since I quit smoking. 3 nights of six hour or better of sleep. Joints felt pretty good this morning. I could go down the stairs normally from the first step to the last right out of the bed. I'm also becoming aware of different things that have been going on that I've just never paid attention to before. So far in the short term the number of positives are outweighing the negatives, but the negatives are definitely a hell of a lot more intense. All the cravings were quite a bit more intense today but the bloating being so greatly diminished makes it worth it. I'm still not sure if drinking the water with either lemon/lime juice or apple cider vinegar is helping but doing it beats suffering and doing nothing. We shall see how this plays out but I did not smoke today so whatever else happened it was a success.
