Great. Good to hear. I wish all 1,000 well. Is small community. We grow slow.

I remember George Carlin talking about stuff in the fridge. Kinda looks like meat. Kinda looks like cake Must be Meat Cake!!!

Again, from the outside looking in as I have no personal experience. I could see (maybe) using the drug to get the weight off and at the same time adjusting the way of eating and such to help keep the weight off. At some point not being dependent upon the drug. I am sure if I stopped eating carnivore and went back to my dumpster diet from before I would more than likely gain the weight back, and probably add some more. I have a guy at work who tried the carnivore diet and lost a bunch of weight and relieved some lower back issues. In time he eased back to eating like before and gained the weight back. He is now on one of the "ozempics", not sure of the brand. He was on the office phone the other day asking about having his dosage increased. When he was off the phone, I suggested carnivore again and he said the shot was just easier. I think that is the approach of most. "I don't have to do anything and lose weight". I also thin for the marketing departments it makes for a really easy "sell". Scott

Perhaps. I do not know but have heard if u come off the drug. The weight comes right back. So someone has to keep paying.

Agreed. I watched a video with him doing pull-ups with the Secretary of Defense with some young military guys. He looks to be in really good health, physically, and from what I read a straight carnivore guy. He might be a politician we can believe. LOL Scott

The big thing is that they seem to work for so many people. The drugs allow the weight loss with little to no effort. Most are looking for the easiest route forward on everything and if one has struggled with weight/obesity/health issues 'taking another pill/shot' is nothing. Statins 'fixed' so many things for so many people. 'Asbestos' was a miracle product in all forms of construction. Seed oils were a better option than animal fats. Etc. Etc. The only thing that really changed people's minds was time. The GLP-1's are in their infancy and already there are some issues with bone and muscle loss. I am no medical professional but it feels like these will be the tip of the iceberg years from now. I don't think they are for me. But with that said, if they work for someone and get them where they need to be, then so be it for them. And this is from the outside looking in, but the handful people I know using the drug are not coupling it with better eating or exercise or lifestyle type changes to make something after the drug being sustainable. In one way or another, it becomes a life-long need. Scott

Yep. I'm right back at it just about immediately after. I am guessing everyone's plans have obstacles and bumps in the road. Luckily mine are very minor and sort of funny and not all that impactful (except for the first ten minutes with the guy on the porch). Last night at work we were talking about carnivore and fasting and I made mention that I have one employee that could single handedly stop my fasting. It is hard to fast when presented with a huge, very well prepared tomahawk steak, coupled with the appreciation I had for it being a 'show of appreciation by my shift'. Sort of babbling. Just a quick post this morning to wind down from nights. Scott

Yes. The main problem with GLP1 and SGLT2 is the lack of long term studied. They were never done a Ken Berry explains it. I suspect many high profile people are using them. Competition will increase supply and reduce prices. Insurance companies are likely not too happy right now

Until the definition of “healthy eating” changes we will continue to see people taking the easy way out. I’m afraid though that we are going to see a lot of people wrecking their metabolisms either these drugs.

I’d put RFK up against any of those people claiming carnivore is detrimental to your health. He is a great public testimonial of the power of carnivore.

Who says meat can’t be made of cake?

The best made plans of mice and men oft go astray. How we handle the frustrations and disappointments is what counts. These can be trials put before us to build character and draw us closer to dependence on God for His Grace. It sounds like you are taking it all in stride.

Funny how things work out. A month or so ago, maybe more I started my weekend fast while pulling night shifts. On Sunday night the shift decided to cook and have a 'work supper' together. I told them I was fasting and they all know about carnivore. Just as they were sitting down they called me to the breakroom. They threw in a got me a tomahawk steak that looked huge and very appealing. It was such a nice thing they did I broke my fast with a tomahawk. This weekend I started my fast on Friday and on Sunday the shift cooked again for the Super Bowl. They made me some really nice burger patties. Plotted my trips to the gym for this week. On Saturday morning I was planning on going to the gym after nightshift. I ended up having to work over. Planned again for Sunday morning but it was 8F so I had to come home and get the animals straight after a night in the single digits. Moved it to Monday and had to work over again. I told myself nothing would keep me from going this morning until I had an emergency phone call from home. This guy we paid to cut tress down ten+ years ago broke down near here and walked up on my daughter-in-laws porch at 6AM. He was drunk and banging on the door for some tools to change a tire. It scared her half to death as she was home with her three month old. Unfortunately, when I got the call it was 'some guy' and I dropped my tools in the floor and left a pump in mid-repair. I was on pace to make the 40 minute drive in 25 minutes and my wife sent me a pic from the security camera. He is harmless, and a super nice guy, but drunk he didn't realize how it came across. Crisis averted at home and I missed out on the gym again today. Maybe tomorrow. LOL Scott

I truly enjoy the exchange of information. I probably use the site more to wind down after shift work. I stop by, read some, post some and then crash. If I weren't on the carnivore diet I would say "I am having my cake and eating it too". I don't know of a meat-eater saying that says the same thing. LOL Scott

Ya, sometimes folks join and forget what all they joined. If you don't visit often, it gets buried in the bookmarks. If you remember to save it. I know I've got a bazillion bookmarks that date back to over 20 years old. 🤪

Inside Robert F Kennedy Jr's controversial diet of red meat and fermented foodsPublished 16:13 2 Feb 2026 GMT The politician has even roped his wife into helping him achieve his diet goalsby Ella Scott Robert F Kennedy Jr, Secretary of Health and Human Services, has never shied away from discussing his controversial diet ideas with the public. Last month alone, the 72-year-old shared new US dietary guidelines, proclaiming that the ‘war on saturated fats’ was over, and presenting the idea that American’s should eat copious amounts of meat and cheese while keeping whole grain consumption to a minimum. Now, the environmental lawyer has defended the eyebrow-raising carnivore diet, claiming it has helped him lose a large amount of ‘visceral fat’. What is the carnivore diet?The carnivore plan is a restrictive diet usually consisting of meat, fish, eggs, seafood, and some more meat-derived products, such as cheese and butter, as per Harvard Health. Shannon Haynes, RD, a registered dietitian at Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut, explained that the extreme ketogenic grub explicitly restricts carbohydrates, alleging that the body gets its energy by ‘burning fat instead’. “[It’s] supposed to speed up the breakdown of fat, improve blood sugar and decrease inflammation,” she told Hartford Healthcare. However, studies suggest that the carnivore diet can lead to nutritional deficiencies, increase inflammation risk due to the copious amount of red meat consumed, and put stress on the kidneys. Dr Mia Kazanjian, a board-certified radiologist in Connecticut, told Fox News Digital that anyone thinking of embarking on the idea should speak to a doctor first. "As a physician focused on cancer prevention, I recommend a Mediterranean diet, largely plant-based, with whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins, for optimal health and longevity," she added. RFK Jr defends the carnivore dietIn a new interview with USA Today’s Extremely Normal show, RFK Jr has admitted he is ‘on a carnivore diet’. “I only eat meat or fermented foods,” he said, adding that his daily meal plan ‘may not be right for other people’ and that he didn’t want to ‘make [himself] a role model for what people should do and shouldn't do’. As well as claiming to have lost fat by solely consuming meat, animal-based products, and fermented foods such as sauerkraut, the Republican alleged his diet had helped improve his cognitive ability. The politician celebrated his 72nd birthday last month with a plate of steak (X/@HHSGov) "The way I feel, my mental clarity, my word retrieval, I had noticeable improvements, and you can attribute some of that to placebo effect, but I lost 20 pounds in 20 days when I switched to this diet,” he claimed. However, he acknowledged that some of the so-called ‘enormous benefits’ could be put down to a placebo effect. Does the carnivore diet help you lose weight?Yasi Ansari, senior dietitian at UCLA Health Santa Monica, has spoken about RFK Jr’s weight-loss claims. “Technically, it’s possible to lose visceral fat on any diet in the short term," she told USA Today. "Anytime we restrict calories or significantly change the diet, we may see reductions in visceral fat in the short-term.” However, she added: “The long-term health benefits of consuming a diet rich in fibre from whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans, chickpeas and lentils − alongside lean proteins − far outweigh the short-term results that may be seen with a highly restrictive, fad diet.” RFK Jr's fermented foodsAs well as tucking into plates of meaty madness, the father-of-six apparently enlists the help of his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, to carry fermented foods around for him. Cheryl Hines reportedly carries around fermented foods for her husband (David Crotty/Getty Images) "I’ll have my little clutch, one of my good bags that I only take out every once in a while because I want to keep them nice, and he’ll hand me a bag of sauerkraut and say, 'Can you put this in your bag?'" the 60-year-old Curb Your Enthusiasm star said to The Cut. In January, the Washington DC native celebrated his 72nd birthday with a plate of steak, rather than a traditional sweet cake. “No cake, just steak. Happy Birthday @SecKennedy! We are so grateful for your leadership and determination to Make America Healthy Again,” wrote the official X account for the Department of Health and Human Services.

She's been on them since sometime in 2024. Her husband is an investor and member of the board of Ro - a telehealth company... https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a65819594/serena-williams-weight-loss-glp1-ro/ She couldn't lose weight after birthing 2 children even though she 'ate healthy and walked 20,000-30,000 steps a day'. Of course, we don't know exactly what she was eating and if it was indeed "healthy". But if this works for her and there are no side effects, then good for her.

A nice milestone for sure. I should send out a newsletter and try and rassle some of them back in here, lol.

That's why I always ultimately return to low carb, keto, and now carnivore. Only carb-restricted diets have ever worked well for me.

Congrats to all. I enjoy stopping by. Scott

WooHoo!!! We broke a 1000 members on here! Do alil dance 💃🕺🥩🎆

I am sure it is more than I am making tonight on shift. LOL I work near the EL plant in NC and they are expanding just to keep up. They can't make enough right now. It's the new miracle drug. Scott

I wonder what they paid her??? Is also interesting she is using the drug.

Tons of money pushing those products. Scott
