Same experience. Also, I tend to slip in “carnivore” stuff that really isn’t, like ginger beef. It’s breaded, deep-fried, and coated in a sugary, salty sauce. Pure garbage. It’s really hard to get takeout that won’t get you in trouble. For the most part vegan food is considered bland (until your system adjusts) and hard to sell to a public that is primed for sugar, salt, and grease.
Eating mostly healthy veg limits takeaway options like crazy.
I’ve woken up and it’s a new day and I’m starting to maybe think I shouldn’t do this diet
I’m glad. Not trying to argue but a carnivore-only diet is extreme. No extreme diets are a good idea, especially for people with an ED history.
What do you think about increasing protein, fruit and vegetables and lowering (but not eliminating) carbs? It’s more balanced, and it’s sustainable.
I especially like @shutterbug ‘s suggestion of swapping out unhealthy foods for healthy ones. Using ChatGPT is a great idea for getting suggestions.
Thanks for looking out for me @Lillyofthevalley hopefully I’ll find something that’s easier to stick to
If you want some healthy protein, legumes. I buy large bags of dried beans and rehydrate them overnight before I need them. Lots of good, cheap protein and fiber. Also, tofu is fantastic and affordable.
Oh I love beans! I have a really good vegetarian chili recipe I like to meal prep. Now that I think of it, I think I still have some in the freezer. Also, I really like lentil soup.
Hey guys, please no religion.
So apparently I can’t share my beliefs so let me simply say I believe humans are designed to eat plants it’s in our biology. Scientific stuff. I’d be dumb to ignore the science. There. Is science allowed?
They do allow science 
Haha thanks @Zoe I was being spiteful yet I think I made my point 
We definitely need to eat plants. We have the teeth of an omnivore. Veggies are healthy too and good for you. And remember APs raise cholesterol so you have to be careful with some meats
@moon!! It’s good to see you here. And yes you’re right. Dogs and cats are carnivores and you can see by their teeth. Humans don’t have teeth like that.

oops didn’t read through
You mean the scientific record going back hundreds of millions of years on Earth?
Faith & Sciences go hand in hand, so says my Catechism
All Hail the Great Potato.
Except when you’re on an extreme diet.
Look at me breaking the rules AND staying on topic.
This could be a first.
Oh boy. 
the little potato says no
YOU ARE THE GREATEST POTATO.
And the sweetest.
