HEALTHY FOOD 4 HEALTHY LIFE ( 15 days of Carnivore) by The Outlaw Micheal Tomsik

 Welcome to 2025 and welcome to the life story of Annie and Micheal Tomsik. I am happy you have been following my blogs since 2020. If you are just joining us, or never heard of us or me then let me fill you in a little.  

THIS IS OUR STORY:

Annie and I started the KETO LIFESTYLE in 2020 after her brother was diagnosed with diabetes Her brother whose name is Dick Kelley eventually passed away from the disease. Annie was really sick in 2020 and also diagnosed with diabetes. Our fear of what happened to her brother got us investigating what we could do. We had Doctors tell us there were nothing but medications however we found KETO and began to follow the LIFESTYLE.

The Doctors never mentioned KETO all they told us was that Annie had no other choices but medications. I had no medical issues but I was over 100 pounds overweight. Within 1 year I lost close to 90 pounds and Annie lost about the same or more and as an added bonus she started to heal from her illness. The day she was no longer diabetic was amazing as well. We both reversed many health issues just by changing the way we are food.

Fast forward 5 years we have created a group on FACEBOOK called HEALTHY FOOD 4 HEALTHY LIFE. This group is maintained mostly by Annie but I decided to blog and record our whole story for the past five years. The group has videos, articles, news, and a community of people who live Keto or Carnivore. This includes many of the top DOCTORS and HEALTH PROFESSIONALS in the World.

January has been dubbed Carnivore month by many people that follow the LIFESTYLE. Annie last year decided to move from Keto to Carnivore though I stayed in the Keto Lifestyle. So this month I agreed to go totally Carnivore for 30 days. So this blog is mostly about my experience so far.

I think it was really harder to change from the way I was eating to Keto, changing from Keto to Carnivore really has not been much of a challenge for me. Normally Annie and I eat together anyways so I tend to be more on the Carnivore side anyways. So this month I went back to documentation to see my weight, blood pressure, fat muscle mass, and other relevant information.

What I found is my body reacted to the change a little, my weight would vary 3 to 5 pounds daily depending on what I ate that day. So far not much has changed if you followed my blog my weight had gone up in Jan 2024 from 210 to 216. I still have never really figured this out.

I thought maybe the Carnivore would get me back down to 210 but so far my weight is just bouncing back and forth daily. Lowest around 214 highest around 218. 

So then the question is what changed?

I thought maybe because in July 2023 I started walking with my dogs daily I may have built some muscles. My main area like many men however is the mid section or stomach area. I could rule out what I was eating because I eliminated everything but meat and dairy. Other factors may have been stress due to Annie and I adding two foster kids to our lives in July 2024. The kids are 6 and 2 and have mental and emotional disabilities. Annie and I are at the age of 55 and 53 so it could be our metabolism has slowed down is another possible answer. From 2023 to 2024 I documented everything I ate, recorded my weight daily, and I maintained 210 pounds for the entire year.

So far for 15 days my weight has not changed, I have no answer why I gained weight or why I am maintaining at 216. I looked up the reasons it could be possible and water retention came up and I pretty much only drink water, or unsweet tea, or hot tea. 

It is possible my body is retaining more water?

In rare cases you can gain weight on Keto or Carnivore if you are eating too many Calories believe it or not. So I am going to start tracking my calories.

It may be possible I am eating too many Calories?

Something many people do is have cheat days, or cheating on the LIFESTYLE this is not the case for me but you need to stick to the LIFESTYLE.

Well I thank you for following my blogs I will write a blog at the end of the month as a follow up hope to see you in the group!
