Oh here’s an interesting data point. I went to get a fancy eye exam 12/9/23 and had some general inflammation of my vessels of the eye and a small spot of concern. Also my old reading glasses weren’t enough anymore.
Went yesterday (cause I took a laser toy blast to the eye from my kid an has a dark spot/floater for a while). All inflammation and the worry spot were gone. I don’t need glasses to read currently. Doc was legit amazed at how my eye looked and improved over 4 months. I said I had started carnivore and she’s like “yeah that’s why there’s zero sign of diabetes or anything, your shit looks amazing”. |

I'm like 6 weeks in and I've lost about 15 pounds. That said, I'm "leaner" than I was the last time I lost 15 pounds. If "leaner" is something you can say about a guy that weighs 265.
It's like the composition of what I'm losing is different this time. I think on a long enough timeline I'm going to be actually lean. I go for a heath and wellness physical every year. They did a body scan on me. The guy said "I've got some good news and some bad news. You're carrying as much muscle as a pro bodybuilder. That's the good news. The bad news is that it's covered in fat". Maybe I'll uncover all the muscle doing this. |

I'm at 31 weeks on carnivore.
Started September 8 last year at ~310 lbs. today I weighed in at 240.8. Almost 70 pounds in 7 months. I do not limit my food intake, but it's mostly just beef. Lots of fat, lots of ground beef and NY Steaks. I drink only glass bottled carbonated mineral water, no sugar or flavorings (Topo Chico) and I also have daily black coffee and Celtic salt. I will never go back. This has changed my life in so many ways. |

They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself.

I figured 1.75lbs per day, but that does not account for other meats, cheese, eggs, etc. 1lb per day with all of that added in sounds about right. |

Had a weird weekend, for me at least.
Last meal Friday was 5:15pm. Got up Saturday, did stuff all day and didnt eat until 8:15pm Then today, did the same. Worked around the house all day, and didnt eat until 7:45pm. So it was 2 fasts back to back, 27 hour and then 23.5 hour, but not intentional and I was fine all day. I never even did that on Adderall |

In terms of overall calories, I’m probably not far off from where I was pre-carnivore and yet my “backdoor output” is probably around 20% of what it was before.
It’s almost as if our bodies weren’t designed for digesting massive amounts of carbs, sugar, foliage, etc. |

I stalled out on losing weight for almost 3 weeks now.
First 6 weeks I lost 25 pounds. I’m currently sitting on a weight and fluctuating a pound or two. It’s starting to get frustrating. Anyone know what to do to kick this weight loss off again? Have about another 20 to go. Only eating twice a day. |

It's more expensive and tastes like cardboard. We used to do the 85/15 all the time for burgers or spaghetti or whatever else. We were ignorant of the fact that less fat is less healthy until I started carnivore. Now we buy the 73/27 rolls for convenience . I will get the tray if I know I'll use more than a pound at a time. I want to find some 70/30 though. |

I stalled out and actually gained some back (around 8 lbs. ) after eating some bullshit fajita tacos from a food truck. I won't be doing that again. "Aww , what can a couple of tortillas do"? I told myself. Yep it took a week to get back right. Now I can weigh at night after eating and taking in liquids all day and by morning when I weigh again I'm 5 to 6 lbs down. Crazy. I'm 19 lbs down from when I started on March 3. I don't think I can lose much more if any. I'm 5'-4", this morning I weighed in at 149. ETA- according to one chart I looked at 143 lbs is the max I should be. That sounds crazy. |

Maybe it’s time for a good old fashioned multi day fast… View Quote You started in Jan, it's probably time for a diet break, at least a few weeks at maintenance usually helps. Most people (myself included at one point) mistake being on a diet long time plateauing meaning our metabolism is tanking, when it's our NEAT that is tanking as the body is struggling to hang on to what it's got. Also what activity or activities do you do? Walking is great, I totally looked it over. Do 10K steps a day, that burns a fair amount but the most important thing IMO is that tracking and achieving that means you're just conscious to move around more until it's ingrained in ya. 10K is a popular number, tons of videos on it. Seems better broken up, not just one long walking session. What's great about it is that moving that many steps per day is that seems to keep NEAT up. |
