So dry.

.

Can't figure it out.  I have been drinking less water, until a few days ago.  But I had stopped eating for three days, until later last night.  Even then, only two eight ounce bowls of soup.  I had forgotten about electrolytes, something you need on carnivore, probably keto too.  Or extra salt, though I'd more recommend electrolytes.

Though, in my case, since I need to take waterpills I need medical grade potassium, as well as magnesium, zinc, and other minerals.  Plus, doc says I was low on vitamin D (in spite of taking 2k per day, so I've upped it to 10k).  And, renal doctor suggested niacin (one of the B vitamins).  I had been on a B super complex, but... lost track of that.  With all they want, and at the levels I need to take, I'm going to ask them to put it in for medical.  Those are... expensive.  I have some, of some, but not all.  I... can't afford more, and more, and more.

Still, things are better.  There are going to be problems.  But not all of it can be fixed by diet, or even standard supplements.  If your kidneys are bad, your liver isn't working well, and your gut biome is bad (or just went through two higher dose antibiotic treatments), nutrient absorption is problematic.

I have started back on kefir.  Which will help with the gut biome.  The liver and kidney are doing better, but are still at the medium stages of failure.  They can only get better just so fast, and maybe only just so far?  I don't know.  Will find out.  Kefir is probably my best bet at a quicker improvement in nutrient uptake.

Meat?  With occasional liver, kidneys, gizzards, and other offal?  Has every vitamin, mineral, protein, and else, that you need.  But your body has to be in shape to use it.  Carbs?  Your body doesn't need external carbohydrates.  Why?  It can synthesize those from both fat and protein.  Look it up.  Don't let them bs you.  The only thing I would recommend adding to a carnivore diet would be fermented foods and drink.

If I could figure out how to make my own sauerkraut, I'd do it.  But, kefir I can make, and well.  It took a few years to get the practice, and system, down.  But now?  I can easily make, stop making for a bit, and restart the process from frozen samples.  And it is rather easy, it's just that anything that requires daily attention can... get lost in the shuffle.  

The most difficult part of kefir was getting used to consuming it.  If you think plain real whole yogurt is difficult, this will blow your mind.  But, once you get used to it, you will love it.  My mouth waters when I think about it.  Even after I had stopped eating it for a few months, because I couldn't keep up.

Just... some food notes I have taken through thin and thick, on and off track, and a few suggestions about being your own doctor.  You can't do it all, maybe.  Certainly not initially.  But you can get there.  It's going to hurt.  A lot.  I suppose the choice is a shorter harder life, surgeries, medicines that are questionably, arguably, as bad as the disease(s), or... taking one for your own gipper... yourself.  If you can.  Choices.

Though, understand.  Even I have learned to lean in a bit more slowly, when getting back to carnivore.  Cold turkey runs are absolutely brutal.  But... it's a good learning thing.  And if you can keep it up?  Yeah.  Even better.  But if you fail, just come back in at it at a lower trajectory.

Someone... remembers.  The question?  Enough time?

Time isn't what is seems.  Or... so says a... timekiller?  Perhaps.
