I figured it out!!! Why the Carnivore Diet STOPPED working for me

This week I had an epiphany about the role of fasting in the carnivore diet. Maybe this explains why I had been plateauing as a newbie carnivore, but now I am back on track!

Glad to see you're going full carnivore for the time being. The last 1% can be a HUGE difference-maker when it comes to people with autoimmune issues. Even switching to only ruminant meat can be highly beneficial. I think being strict can be much more important than fasting is. Ketogenic diets have been described as "fasting-mimicking" diets because they put our body in that same metabolic state.

Don't force a fast. The effect of that is limiting your intake of nutrition, which will hinder your healing. And your body has a lot of healing to do. So if you're hungry, eat. Your body needs the nutrients. The reduced eating window will come naturally as your body heals; oftentimes people end up doing one meal a day as a result. I do two, and they're usually only a few hours apart.

Best of luck moving forward! You got this!

I have bounced back and forth from keto to carnivore. I am convinced that intermittent fasting (the limited eating window you are observing) is good, but full fasts are great. As part of my Christian beliefs I full fast regularly for at least 24 hours, and four times a year I do an extended fast of 4 to 7 days. Investigate what this can do for your health. I believe that it is a gift from God. My co-workers all reject my path, except for a chubby muslim who fasts daytimes during Ramadan. I am 10 to 30 years older then the crew and I run rings around them. They are tired and overweight, with lots of visceral fat and health problems. My 70th birthday is coming up, I plan to do a 70 mile bike ride to celebrate.

Never before in my life considered fasting until Carnivore. It makes sense to me. Trying the 16:8 which suits my lifestyle. You explain all this so well. Love your chats. 👏

Thank you for your idea of intermittent fasting. I am on day 11 of the carnivore diet and also have MS (diagnosed in 1997). On the first week of the diet, (along with diarrhea) I passed a bunch of worms!!! It looked like some spaghetti. I've added a parasite cleanse now too. I have had edema in both ankles for the last year and no doctor could figure out why after much testing, but after one week on the diet, it's all but gone!

Best of luck to you from Canada! Looking forward to your next video :)

Hello from the USA! I just found your channel and watched you with your lovely dad. Your generous sharing of your story will impact so many lives. Thank you! Il have new resolve to keep to this diet for healing. God bless!

Thanks. I’ve been on a bit of a stall too. I thought it might be the weather but it’s probably the small supper snack I’ve reintroduced. Even though it’s always Carnivore it has dramatically expanded my eating window and minimized my fasting window. I’ll do the experiment, cutting out supper, and see how it goes.

Holy moly!!!! You did all of that stuff in one morning before 11 am!!! That is incredible!!! Compared to what you said you were able to physically do before, What a great way to see your

Please look into "Priming" with the carnivore diet. Life changing!!! Good luck and my heart is with you!!

So happy that you are feeling well and fine tuning your diet. And yes mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. We all need to give them what they need.😊

Spot on. I enjoy you videos for the simple freshess of your own personal journey and you being you. As for the fasting, I've come to doing this by eating in only a short period of the day without really any push or reason, just feels right. After about 6mths on carnivore I added what was my 2 breakfast eggs to my midday meal which is now the first meal, anytime from 10.30 to 2pm depending on how early I get up and how busy I am, then last meal around 7pm with no snacks. Drinks are water to quench thirst and 3 coffees with butter and pure cream, morning, late afternoon and after tea. Never felt better!

Really hope the fasting makes you continue your recovery. 👏👏👏

I find that having a cup of black coffee, like your tea, focuses my brain in the morning, suppresses my appetite and gives me energy to stay busy until I become actually hungry. I can usually get a good 16-18 hour fast in. I haven't ventured beyond 18 hours just yet but hoping to keep pushing further to get the extended fasting benefits. It does make sense when you put it together like that!

I eat twice a day. Once at 11:30 am and once at 6:00 pm. It works great. I'm usually not hungry in the mornings anyway. If I do get a little hungry around 9:pm I eat a couple of slices of Italian prosciutto and that seems to satisfy any cravings.

[L.OB-]

Hope the fasting helps! I base my fasting on how hungry i feel. If I dont feel hungry i dont eat. Usually my first meal is 1.30-2pm and my last 6 to 7pm

[authenticmslife]

Thank you for this. I just found your channel and am planning to start carnivore for my MS.

[JegVenterMigDk]

So looking forward to your next video!

[adgermatthews]

You look great this week! You have that carnivore glow!

[CarstenBornemann]

I eat once a day high fat carnivore. When hungry rarely twice, but usually one meal is enough for me. Takes long to get hungry again.

I've been eating a very low carb diet for 3 years now. My husband recently wanted to try carnivore so I decided to do it with him. I haven't lost much weight. My energy levels are up & down, I have gotten an "extra" migraine in addition to my usual monthly migraine, *and* I was having trouble with feeling light-headed. I added moderate carbs back in and I feel better so far! I don't know what's going on unless all my symptoms are perimenopausal. I'm kind of afraid of fasting at this point, though I am no stranger to 24 hr fasting and intermittent fasting at various levels.
