I have been eating carnivore for over a year now so that means I smash stupid amounts of eggs they are lifeforce truly. In the beginning, I had gas and all kinds of unpleasant things happened but my body leveled out and I don't even get BO anymore, zero need for deodorant, and no gas, all is good.With the eggs does boiling them ever give you gas or are you okay with digesting them?

Yep just not fresh I cook huge once a fortnight and freeze everything. My meals are quite boring, nothing special just what my body requires. I am very militant im my process so food and pics wise this is going to be a boring log hahaha since I eat religiously and training religiously precisely whats in the beginning of my log, everyday is the same, regimented and structured exactly how I like it, boring but effective.carnivore is key to getting shredded broi did lion steak only for years

Special shout out to @Raptor Labs for supplying the gear used in this cycle, I will be 100% running his product and nothing else.

First Update Coming Soon
I will be tracking progress every week with updates on strength, weight changes, and how I feel throughout the cycle.
If you have any feedback or suggestions, let me know. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.
I like to log everything like this bro, just so if i come across strangest in my body I can see what I was doing leading up to that point and check if anything relates.Very strange day today.
Since I started the cycle I have been feeling great, very little fatigue, and very strong but today I had some brain fog that escalated to stomach pain like extreme hunger. After a while a very tight chest, goosebumps, weakness, blurred vision, generally uncoordinated and queasy in the stomach.
I don't know if it has anything to do with the cycle but I do not generally feel like this so I thought I would log it.
