The REAL Reason I Quit the Carnivore Diet (at age 60)

Just want to drop an anecdote to the opposite, I've gained quite substantial weight in muscles doing carnivore :)

In 2 weeks about 2kg and my definition is staggering compared to the start of those weeks.
But you do you man! Best wishes!

Edit: I also got significantly stronger. Went up 40 - 100 lbs in weight on my top end with certain exercises :)

Been carnivore for about 4 nearly 5 years now, and I do it because everything else was killing me. I'm quite sensitive to carbs in general it seems, and it gave me a slew of bad chronic conditions which made my life a living hell.

I find this interesting, although I disagree on several points. I appreciate hearing your view on this topic, and I commend you on your results.

The carnivore diet is not primarily a weight loss diet, it is an optimal health diet. The weight you eventually end up with is what you should weigh according to your level of activity. When you want to put on muscle, eat enough protein and train your muscles. Carbs serve no purpose whatsoever except for gaining fat.

Carbs and insulin spike can be useful for the muscles, but isn’t it mostly glycogen, water and having more “full” muscles more than quality muscles? I have gained quite some muscles on carnivore only, and I also feel after several month that the body is getting more effective to refill the glycogen stores which makes them fuller. I don’t know about that, but the quality of the muscles of this diet is unbelievable. I can go a couple of months with no training without loosing any muscles what so ever.

The elimination of all the other food groups is definitely a stumbling block for me too.

People do gain weight on the carnivore diet if they need to. Vegans are a good example of this

[ecoffey]

Also carnivore isnt about losing weight weight its about getting healthy.and if you eat carnivore properly you wont continue to lose weight.

[larrymartin]

Question did you have a problem where you was constipated cause I heard people that did carnivore had a problem having bowel movements

[agak]

I think 🤔 there is a lot of talking and explaining yourself ;) but no work is done. It takes a lot of effort and time to build strong muscles. And the older we get the more protein we need. I would start by sitting less and lifting more 😊 Arnold never whined about diets !

[hellobooom]

carbs to avoid an eating disorder, sounds like an addiction.

[taycharb]

I disagree. Most people who go on actual carnivore which your not. do it for health reasons. I can't have sugar and I can't eat many carbs due to a liver disease. I dont have an ED but I lost a ton weight thanks to my actual liver disease. If you don't like it that's okay but why are you telling everyone who has stuck to it for years that they have an eating disorder?

[Fuegorc]

So wrong on many points. Carnivore diet is not only for weight loss obessive people its for metabolic and over all health.

Congrats on losing weight...but we prefer listening to Dr Berry he and his team has saved millions of people l..sorry mate!!

[nakedholerat]

(For losing weight) “I t’s as good as the vegan diet is” yeah that’s because you’re MALNOURISHED on the vegan diet.

[nakedholerat]

I don’t think anybody’s gonna like this video. I’m glad you lost weight but I think you missed the whole point of carnivore.

Love your content but maybe a little less skin in the thumbnail? I don’t want any of my students getting any wrong ideas while I’m bringing up your videos.
