Has any of you benefited Significantly from Carnivore Diet ?

[Striving for more]

No ethical comments please. I do actually feel really guilty about eating meat & wish I didn't need to consider it ...

 but it seems like it might help me with my chronic fatigue if I eat (organic) meat & nothing else but maybe grass fed butter, some fats as I know of a good source.

Essentially Carnivore / Keto.

 

If anyone has had brain fog & energy directly lifted from going Carnivore (Or keto with lots of meat), despite having already been eating healthy before or vegan ... please comment.

I haven't done carnivore or keto, but I thought I share my story in case it might give you a different perspective and new route to take. 

I've been vegetarian for about 4-5 years now (maybe pescatarian since I dabbled in seafood, but not too much).  I've been having lots of emotional issues as well as physical issues as well (digestion, insomnia, intense brain fog/pressure, difficulty concentrating, etc.).  I recently did a high-thiol exclusion test from Andy Cutler's Mercury Detox book where I ate only low-thiol foods (he gives a list, but advises lists found on the internet don't work since they don't distinguish thiols from normal sulfur).  I feel way better off high-thiol foods.  About 10-20% better:  lessened brain fog significantly, way more energy, feel lighter, etc.  Compared to the high-thiol day where I got severe brain pressure/fog, felt low and heavy, depressed, and sickly. 

I think, I'm not totally sure though, that they say heavy metal poisonning significantly increases symptoms caused by high-thiol foods since (this is where I'm not too sure) I think thiols can move mercury and other heavy metals around in the body and act as a chelator.  There was a report on the Andy Cutler facebook page of someone being sensitive to high-thiol foods, then did heavy metal detox, and then reported they can now eat whatever they want (high-thiol or not) and feel they don't get affected. 

It's not what you're asking for, but it's another route of experimentation to take in case you feel the desire to try it out.  You have to buy Andy's book though to get the list of low and high thiol foods. 

Good luck.
