About Sweet Mistakes

Welcome to Sweet Mistakes, a Substack for those of us who’ve spent decades trying to eat “right” and still found ourselves tired, inflamed, overweight, or confused.

If you're between 40 and 60, and you're ready to make a permanent change to the way you think about food, you're in the right place.

I’m in my early 50s now, and I’ve been following the Carnivore diet for the last five years.

Not as a quick fix.

Not to “hack” my health.

But as a total reset; a return to simplicity, satiety, and sanity around food.

This newsletter is where I share what I’ve learned, what I’m still discovering, and what it looks like to live this lifestyle long-term.

You’ll find:

• Personal stories and insights from five years on meat-based nutrition

• Science-backed discussions without the hype

• Tools for real-world success — including family, travel, cravings, and social settings

• Food logs, Q&As, and thought-provoking essays

• Community with others who are rethinking decades of food dogma
  

The Carnivore diet isn’t about perfection. It’s about clarity. About dropping the guilt and complexity we’ve been sold. About reconnecting with what our bodies truly need and finally feeling free.

Sweet Mistakes is named after all the nutritional detours and well-intentioned missteps that brought me here. Every experiment was part of the process. If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start eating in a way that makes sense not just for a month, but for life, I’m here to walk with you.

Let’s make peace with food. Let’s rebuild health from the ground up. Let’s eat meat and thrive.
