Re: Carnivore Diet
I thought that I should give an update of my progress on the OMAD carnivore diet and Intermittent fasting.
I have been more or less on this eating lifestyle for nearly three years now. My starting weight was 260 kg (573 Lbs). In December last year, I had lost over 1/2 of my body weight eating nothing but high fat meat. I weighed 120 Kg (264 Lbs) when I was allowed to undergo heart repair surgery (a story in and of itself).
Since coming home from my heart operation, I celebrated by eating some ice cream, which is the first time I had eaten this junk food since beginning my carnivore journey. BAD BAD MOVE !! It tasted so yummy good that it became more of a staple than an irregular luxury item. After the ice cream, I tried chocolate chip cookies then, corn chips. I was now on a downward spiral that hooked me more for the tastes that I had been missing than anything else really.
Long story short, our lives are ours to control or not, and I lost touch with that mindset for a period of time and as a result put 30 Kg (66 Lbs) back on. Some of you may understand the mental hammering I gave myself for being so weak willed.
Well, the good news is that I am back on track and again losing Kg (Lbs) eating nothing but high fat moderate protein diet. This is done via a OMAD regime and at least one 48 hour fast per month. Indeed, I regularly actually do 7 day water fasts and can feel myself healing more and more every time I do one.
So, with a repaired heart and massively less weight to haul around, my life has dramatically improved over the last couple of years and I totally put it down to the carnivore diet.
Interestingly, three of my doctors who regularly monitor my bodily functions both pre and post my heart op are now convinced that there is merit in a carnivore diet (at least for some people). This has born out in all three of them recommending to select morbidly obese patients to consider going high fat carnivore as a possible solution to at least some of their patients challenges.
I am here if anyone needs moral support, especially in the beginning.
My opinion is this, Carnivore, OMAD and, Intermittent Fasting all work and exceptionally well. All it really takes is the mental willpower to trust in the process and genuinely give it a decent try...

Re: Diarrhea and Vomiting (sorry)
Hi @GKI_1
I would recommend entering the items in your diary as a positive value serving size, and then re-entering them with a negative serving size afterwards, so you can still keep track of them.
Alternatively you can enter them in your diary only once with a serving size of 0.
You could also track the times which you did not keep your food down by entering Diarrhea and/or vomiting as a custom Biometric in your diary along with the foods. Then, you can chart this biometric against your nutrient intake for your day (Gold feature).
Best of luck with the Chemo! We are rooting for you!

Templates for Diary
Hello everyone! I wanted to know if there is a feature (or if one is in the works) for a Template for the Diary section. I have a attached a picture of a blank template that i have created. This way I can use Cronometer as a true Diary and I can collect information on a daily basis that is relevant to me. It will prompt and remind to collect data every day without a lot of time consuming adding of fields. What do you think?

History Search
I would like the ability to search for products I used on a particular day that may not be logged into my diary. Rather than saving it as a recipe, just being able to search through a history of foods I may have casually entered rather than having to scroll back months and months.
Re: History Search
+1
Diary search feature please
manually paging for days to find an old item is painful
you have a ‘my foods’ search, please add all db tables, diary, user submitted, and recipe's.
Output should be the found results, that when user clicks, hotlink to recipe, or submitted items, or first diary day found with that item
thanks
Re: Ability to save meals
Well, thank you so much!!! I was not aware of the ability to include a recipe within a recipe, nor the "Explode Recipe" option on the right click menu, nor the "save selected items as recipe" option. (I most use the app on my Mac, so no right swiping).
This is really a game changer - I very much appreciate your help!

Re: Ability to save meals
Well, I have a suggestion. One thing to know is that a recipe can include other recipes. I have a recipe called Breakfast, and one of the items in that recipe is another recipe called Vitamins. I update that vitamins recipe regularly as my mix changes.
When I eat breakfast, it's normally oatmeal with whatever berries I have on hand. So, my breakfast recipe includes oatmeal, blueberries and strawberries.
In the mornings, I add the breakfast recipe, then right-swipe on it, and select 'Adjust recipe'. Once there, I can delete strawberries if I don't have them on hand, or maybe adjust the number of grams if needed. I can also add cherries or peaches there if I grab those that day.
Taking the time to set up my vitamin recipe, and then including it in my breakfast recipe means I don't actually have to click a lot, even when I make adjustments on the fly, while still groggy!
Let me know if this might work for you.
Re: Glad to Be Back
Yeah, whenever I play with another tracker, I always end up back here. I feel tracking, even when healthy is good to keep an eye on what you're eating.
