I started the Carnivore diet yesterday and have been starving to death! stopped, too painful

I've sort of dipped my toes in low carb stuff, flirted a bit with Keto but even that seems a bit too extreme to me, let alone full blown carnivore. But I have heard but diets (well they're not diets so much as "ways of eating") have helped many feel better and shed a lot of poundage. After all, we've evolved for millions of years to eat meats, nuts, berries, some plants, etc. Grains only came into the picture roughly 10k years ago and with the industrial age, this processed/refined junk and trans fats are essentially foreign to our systems.

But yeah even in my couple of months dabbling with low carb I lost 8lbs or so, though I've sort of relapsed back into pizzas, pastas, sweets, and put most of that weight back on rather quick.. Hell, I'm Italian so it's tough. We're freaking bred on carbs lol.

I gotta get this thing back on the rails again. This topic's inspired me.

I doubt I'll ever go carnivore but Keto does seem like the sort of thing I can perhaps work towards getting myself used to in the future and maybe even sustain for 80% of the time. I'm already partially there as I appreciate a good steak, jerky, and cheese is probably like half my diet. Not crazy about veggies, but I can live with broccoli, green beans, cauliflower. Been trying to cut back on things like chips, crackers, and candy, and replace them with nuts, seeds, and berries.
