I've been sore, crabby and fell off the diet.
May not sound tragic to anyone here, but I'm 177.4# on the scale today for my official morning weigh in. That is a magic number. When I started this journey toward better health my goal was to get to 177#. I've been coasting comfortably between 173-175 since late November. But my arthritis meds failed, and my workouts have been dramatically curtailed.
Did a decent job of staying on the low calorie diet, but really not so good at sticking with that for the past 30 ish days. Weight creeping back up.
Got up today, immediately took a pain pill. Started my daily routine and plan to get in a modest workout regardless of the pain.
Going to close my rings today. Only been doing that about 3 days a week lately. I need to get back to 7 days in a row, every week.
A pretty fair group of folks believe the carnivore diet has cured their arthritis. Might be worth a look?
There are actually quite a few ways to treat Osteoarthritis with diet and supplements. Rheumatoid arthritis, which is what I have, is an autoimmune disease, hereditary, and I've yet to find any diets that seem to support healing.
Same boat here.Diet’s been crap, workouts have been nonexistent for the most part, but I’ve managed to maintain so there’s that. Need to get my rear back in gear but finding the motivation is really tough lately.
My diet has been semi-crap. I start the day great but a few days a week I finish the evening badly. Not binge eating or stuffing myself, but tossing down extra calories that I really don't need.Diet’s been crap, workouts have been nonexistent for the most part, but I’ve managed to maintain so there’s that.

Carnivore can help with autoimmune disorders, because it is an elimination diet, and one that promotes healing of the gut. Most of the substances that ultimately lead to autoimmune disorders a) come from plant-based antinutrients (gluten, other lectins, oxalates, etc.), b) enter the bloodstream directly through a leaky gut that was made leaky by the presence of some of those same substances - especially gluten, and c) promote the growth of harmful gut microbiota. Thus, a carnivore-based elimination diet directly impacts all of the above.There are actually quite a few ways to treat Osteoarthritis with diet and supplements.

I eat 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt everyday. Depending on the brand it's 12-15g of protein. Eat a cup of cottage cheese 3x a week at lunch. I also found the small single serve sized can of Bush's baked beans has 13g of protein. I eat a couple of those each week with lunch. I eat a lot of salmon fillets weekly. I took a 14 day break from lifting because I was at a plateau. Maintained my 184-186# weight through those 2 weeks. Started back with lifting pretty aggressive past 2 weeks and I've gained 3#. None in waist line eitherI signed up for another quarter marathon trail run this summer. I have been working a lot and my exercise regime has slipped. I'm not lifting nearly as often as I want to, but am keeping up with cardio pretty well.
Side note: Costco has been worth it, big ol' tubs of greek yogurt and cottage cheese have made keeping protein up and calories down fairly easy. 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup fresh blueberries. Optional banana if I'm running that day. Roughly 280 calories/40 gram protein without banana. Blueberries at Costco are really good quality.
Closer to 4 or 5pm for me.Having the same problem. By 11am I've hit all the high points in healthy living for the day. Hard to stay motivated and moving. Got no where to go so motivation is lacking.
Well looks like I’m in good company… been a month since I’ve gone hiking, probably almost as long since I moved a barbell. I’m trying to get back into the routine, but life has been crazy, work has been 9-10 hours plus 6 on Saturday’s, and the passing of my mother in law has really thrown things into a spiral! All excuses really, but it’s really thrown a kink in my diet and exercise.Closer to 4 or 5pm for me.
I'm still somewhat achy, I know that saps some of my motivation for exercise. I'm also busy, and a procrastinator, which is a bad combination, so I'm working on a half dozen different things with deadlines and that adds to stress. So by evening I tend to just get lazy with the food.
