Some of us reach a point where our bodies tell us something needs to change. That moment came for 39-year-old Laura Sliazaite after years on a strict raw vegan diet. She felt tired, inflamed, and far from healthy, even though she was trying her best to eat “perfectly.”

After 13 years without meat, Laura slowly began adding animal foods back into her meals. At first it was just eggs and dairy, then fish, and eventually steak. The turning point came when she committed to a 30-day trial of the carnivore diet—and felt better within the first week.

Her energy rose, her digestion calmed, and long-standing issues like joint pain and eczema began to fade. Encouraged, she extended the trial to 100 days, then chose to continue for the rest of the year. Now she says she feels stronger, clearer, and more balanced than she has in decades.

Laura eats simply: eggs and cheese in the morning, then steak or beef at dinner. Critics online warn her about heart risks and extreme eating, but she says her body finally feels steady. She sleeps through the night, no longer battles cravings, and even notices softer skin and shinier hair.

One surprising change is her grocery bill. While she expected meat to be expensive, she now spends far less than she did on nuts, berries, and specialty vegan items. Her weekly food cost has dropped by almost half.

Laura knows her diet isn’t for everyone, but she believes in listening to your body above all else. And her story shows how personal health journeys can take unexpected turns—and sometimes lead to a place of renewed strength.
