Pavlos Manages T-Cell Blood Counts and Skin Condition (CTCL)

Discovering the Keto-Carnivore Path‍

In a small town in Crete, Pavlos embarks on an unusual dietary journey. While most of the world is exploring veganism, intermittent fasting, and other dietary trends, Pavlos decides to dive deep into the keto-carnivore diet, a regimen that consists of consuming only animal products. He is not influenced by a sudden whim but by his own health challenges.

‍Health Challenges before the Keto-Carnivore Diet‍

Pavlos is not unfamiliar with the struggle of weight management. At one point, he weighed a staggering 127 kg (280 lbs). It was a weight that not only threatened his health but also his happiness. While most of us grapple with the idea of shedding a few pounds, Pavlos was looking at a mountainous challenge.

‍Keto-Carnivore Diet Transformation Begins‍

With determination, he decides to give the keto-carnivore diet a shot. The results? In just a year and a half, he drops to 90 kg (198 lbs). It's not just about the weight loss, though. His overall health metrics improve significantly. His blood pressure stabilizes, and his blood sugar levels reach an optimal range.But every diet has its peculiarities. As Pavlos immerses himself in this meaty regimen, he notices an unexpected change – a decrease in his libido. While this might sound concerning to some, for Pavlos, it's a welcome change. In his younger days, he felt obsessed with finding intimate connections, often allowing it to dictate his actions and thoughts. With the shift in his diet, he finds a more balanced perspective on intimacy, viewing it as a bonus rather than an obsession.

‍Mediterranean Cuisine and Keto-Carnivore Diet‍

While Pavlos' diet primarily revolves around meat, Crete's culinary landscape is a rich tapestry of flavors and traditions. The island is known for its exquisite feasts, especially during weddings. Imagine a village coming to a standstill, celebrating love with dishes like the 'Andikristo' – a unique method of cooking meat over embers or the 'Gamopilafo', a delectable dish made of boiled ram juice and rice.Crete is also a haven for cheese lovers. The cheese, 'Graviera', stands out, renowned globally for its exceptional taste. What's the secret? The island's goats and sheep graze on wild herbs, absorbing the rich flavors of the Cretan landscape. This results in milk that's transformed into a cheese bursting with the very essence of Crete.

‍Olive Oil on the Keto-Carnivore Diet‍

No story about Crete's culinary treasures is complete without mentioning olive oil. The island boasts an impressive average consumption of 21 liters of olive oil per person annually. The quality of Cretan olive oil is unparalleled. So much so that, rumor has it, Italians often buy the finest Cretan olive oil to blend with regular oil, enhancing its flavor profile.Pavlos, being a true Cretan, has a personal connection to this golden liquid. He owns 20 olive trees, crafting his own olive oil. In his diet, while meat takes center stage, olive oil plays a significant supporting role. He uses it generously, even drizzling it over his meat.

‍The Future on the Keto-Carnivore Diet‍

As days turn into months, Pavlos continues to evolve his dietary choices. The keto-carnivore diet serves as a transformative chapter in his life, but he also starts reintroducing other elements, like olive oil and avocados.Today, as he stands in Crete, amidst its rich history and culinary wealth, Pavlos stands as a testament to the power of dietary choices. His story is not just about weight loss, but about finding balance, understanding one's body, and making informed choices. Through the highs and lows of his keto-carnivore journey, he discovers a deeper connection with himself and the world around him.

​Pavlos's Update: I also think that the main benefit to me was the drop in my white blood-cell count. They were consistently over twice the upper range, especially my eosinophils, during the ten years after my diagnosis. After about a month on the keto-carnivore diet, for the first time in over a decade, they were all within normal range.
