ya I think once ur fat adapted, the potential cortisol spikes are no longer an issue. The majority of people on long term carnivore don’t have any symptoms of elevated cortisol, from what I’ve seen

I would like to do full carnivore at some point, but idk if I ever will, due to my plans to lift weights until the day I die, and idk if I could ever get used to lifting without carbs in my system. I think I would always think about how much better my workouts would be with them
