I've been doing carnvore + unlimited beer for about 5 weeks now. Beer seems to ease the mental anguish and I was able to go without the beer after about 2 weeks (though I'll still drink on the weekends).  

Weight is down from starting at ~195 to ~175 today. I've experienced an increase in inflammation and pain to start, which I attribute to the release of sequestered environmental pollutants in my disintegrating fat stores. I've started taking bentonite clay and then mixing in some C60 in coconut oil. I figure trying to be puritanical about animal products isn't worth it versus the potential to alleviate damage while losing weight. Krill oil (4000 mg daily) seems to help increase energy and weight loss.

I'm targeting 165 lbs, wherein I'm hoping to work in olive oil and avocados for additional health/metabolic benefits if my weight will stay stable still. I'm likely going to be on this diet permanently with maybe a few cheats for my own pizza once I get to my target. I'm still getting spices in my diet, though I'm attempting to only get the flavors without the physical matter. Going to start making sausages soon, so that will inevitably get more vegetable matter into my gut.
