[Papacarnivore]

I’ve been on carnivore for 525 days and feel amazing.

I’m 62 yrs old and was morbidly obese at 300 lbs and suffering from T2 diabetes, high blood pressure, IBS, migraines, brain fog, acid reflux, chronic arthritis in my ones so bad I could hardly walk, depression, anxiety and a lot more.

Well here I am now and I’ve not only lost 97 lbs…

ALL of the above conditions are in full remission or cured and I’m off ALL MEDS.

My energy levels, mental clarity and focus is off the charts and I look and feel like I’m in my 20’s again.

My decision to change my way of eating from the SAD diet to carnivore was one of the best decisions of my life. 😊

I’m a 16 year carnivore. Meat and eggs only. I’m 65 years old. Optimal health.

[Chronicz]

Lost 11kg in 4 weeks on carnivore and feel fantastic 💪 no longer hungry all the time or craving bread I haven't felt this good in a long time.

[Papacarnivore]

I actually started as “dirty” Keto for several months (with the keto snacks and treats), then went Clean Whole Foods Keto for several months, then Ketovore and have been full Carnivore for the past year.

I still drink one cup of “fatty” coffee every morning (with heavy cream and grass fed butter), I sometimes will have a half an avocado or some low carb veg with my meat, and some occasional berries but for the most part I eat fatty (mostly red) meat, seafood and eggs, butter and cook my steaks in beef tallow.

I feel best when I keep my fat macros high (70-80%) and I eat 2 meals per day with intermittent fasting, with a 18/6 (6 hour eating window) so I stay in Ketosis as long as possible. I have done a few 24 hour fasts just bc I wasn’t hungry, but I don’t enjoy feeling hungry so I don’t force myself to fast.

I hope this helps!😊

I look forward to hitting 15 plus years as a carnivore. Thank you both for all you do in the community!

[HealthyCarnivoreUK]

I have been on and off carnivore for nearly 10 years. I am currently working through a health scare that has made me commit 100%.
NOT doing carnivore is a huge mistake.

[timbarrett]

Thank you both for questioning the efficacy of Fasting for all low-carb adherents. If it works for some folks, great. But it’s not for me, having spent my first eighteen years semi-starved. What I like most about my current carnivore lifestyle is that I never ever go to bed hungry. May everyone be so blessed. 🙏

"Dr. Lisa and Judy, I'm grateful for your support. All the women in the carnivore community are a blessing - you're strong, feminine, beautiful, gorgeous, and sexy, embodying the true essence of womanhood. Thank you for inspiring and uplifting one another!"
I'm celebrating on the carnivore diet, which has helped me overcome cravings & now YouTube videos therapeutic workout become incredibly strong! I now thrive in a fasted state, crush it at the gym, and enjoy massive ribeye steaks (2-3 pounds!). Wishing you all the best on your health journeys! I'm still a big kid at 51, loving life. Thanks carnivore community.

[cprivera]

I'm 33 year old woman with 2 kids. Started high fat carnivore November 2023. I can't wait for the day we are 20 year carnivore. It has truly been life changing!!! ❤

[Destinedmind]

Carnivore is the only way of eating that has healed my body. No joint pain, my hair is soft, my skin is soft, my skin has cleared. When I ate vegan and a ton of plants & grains I always felt ill.

[lorrainethomson]

Thank you thank you thank you. It’s the old adage ‘Rome was not built in a day’. Years and years of poor four choices/eating will not resolve overnight. I am 70 and have only in the last few years admitted to myself that I had a very real fear of going hungry, and more recently that I have battled food addiction for so much of my life. Praise God I am now on the road to improving my health and vitality with lots of meat and fat no carbs.

[ShelleyBergstrom-vepg]

Thank you. Approaching 1 year Carniversery. Feeling wonderful!!!

[JR-egxl]

Finally a CARNIVORE who straight up says it doesnt work for everyone! Love the honesty

[Lilluha]

I learned about the power of speaking out loud to my body about my cravings. On the inside I said “no”, while on the outside I gave in to “yes” and ate bags of chips. But over time, remembering how crappy and tired I felt 12 hrs after snacking away repeatedly, caused my outer”no” to rise up more often, until it was easy to say no without salivating and visualizing potato chips. I also began going to bed the moment potato chip thoughts crept into my head space. These days I don’t allow negative food talk or thoughts to hijack me. I acknowledge that they show up, look at them and say, “ok, chip craving, go away! You’re not welcome in my head space. Leave now! “ The power of my “no, spoken out loud OVER TIME, has really worked for me. No is no, inside and out!😊

[MeatForMedicine]

Wow what a beautiful woman at 60 years old! Her skin looks amazing! Carnivore makes me feel great. I’m documenting my own carnivore journey on my YouTube channel. I suffer from gout and joint pain. I believe carnivore will cure it! Let’s go! 👏🏽👏🏽

[tinakathleen]

As a cake maker for over 30 years its saying no to baking to myself and everyone else. Its a huge change and sometimes when i feel too happy or syressed put i might eat a treat and its a set back each time. So pushing it out with better choices is the best way. Flatbread made from cottage cheese and eggs filled with goats cheese is a nice treat as a carnivore eater.

[tinakathleen]

My meal on repeat lately is a prawn omelette each day usually for breakfast. 4 eggs and a handful of frozen prawns sometimes with a little garlic in butter then add scrambled egg mixture of 3 or 4 eggs with a hint of pure cream and greated parmasen cheese and salt. Cook and flip and serve. Happy comfy food also healthy.

[Papacarnivore]

I felt a lot better after just a month or two but I worked with my psychiatrist to wean off my psych meds over 6 mos to a year and then I’ve been symptom free since the. And off all meds😊
