I guess doctors are out of a job soon too.

Yes. I tried to balance an orange per day with my carnivore diet, but it lead to more fruit like blue berries and more cravings.
My second attempt I went pure lion diet for 4 weeks, then I introduced yogurt, cheese, milk. I still don't eat fruits and the cravings for carbs are pretty much gone.
I'm starting not to even recognize those things as food. The extra salt trick is in all the carnivore diet books, it helps get you over the fatigue hump. And that helped avoid the fruit that caused the cravings, so ya, salt indirectly helped.
If I remember right, it is because you will feel very weak when you don't have the usual load of sugars and electrolites you get from fruits veggies and snacks.
Now, I just use salt normally. My weight dropped a lot for 2 months, but is stable now, +30 from 230 to now about 198-202.
I feel like pork and chicken are both low energy meats, may e it's just because the sources are tortured and malnutrition...but wild boar, wild duck and turkey is awesome. I don't eat much egg whites, usually just throw it out unless I'm doing an omelet. Raw yokes (from pasture hens) are great snack.
Shit, now I'm just rambling
Good post; not rambling.
I'm not interested in the weight loss aspect just if it'll improve energy levels and a clear mind.
Cool. You'll love it then. Your energy levels will be low only during the adjustment period, which was between week 1 and 3.
Eat as much meat as you want. Use sea salt, rock salt, but not table salt.
Dr. Sean Baker has a nice audio books, for the layman, called Carnivore diet. There is another book I read a while back, called carnivore code, and it's more specific on the biology, if you're so inclined. I appreciated a deep scientific dive, but sometimes people just want simple.
Dr. baker maintains a FB group called World Carnivore Tribe and it's great to find hundreds of anecdotal experiences from others, which is more trust worthy than corrupt science, imo.
