Absolutely.

Sorry for the dark post. Not sure what happen.

All good tips guys thanks. I got a response from Dr Chaffee.... Good day Dr Chaffee I hope you can answer this. Does it matter what zone I train in for fat loss since I don't consume carbs anymore? Or does Neoglucogenesis play a role that I must consider? Just trying to dial in the visceral fat burn. Thank you so much

Hello Scott For sure. I will post once I get it all dialed in.

Hello Geezy I read again the posts in this thread. A lot of good information here. I have the same belief as you stated. That's what a lot of the key dr in this carnivore space attest to. Primarily Dr bikman, Dr Chaffee, Dr Berry, Dr Baker. Because my hunger signal now is so quiet, it's so easy to undereat. Especially is yours coffee drinker. I wonder if it's even worth tracking the ketones since I don't eat carbs. But once I throw in the cardio or any exercise that produces lactic acid, then neoglucogenesis is a reality. Which is why I purchased a meter. I suppose I got too much time on my hands. Just really trying to dial this in and not waste time and effort. Chasing that natural high I guess.

Still finding the right times to check. They say test multiple times throughout the day and log the episodes....ex...after eating, after exercise, first thing in the morning. My kit comes with test strips for ketones and glucose. They apparently affect each other but still trying to discover exactly how. I test both at the same time. A reading of 0.5 and higher means your in ketosis. Have not been above 0.6 yet. Probably because I'm fat adapted by now. 9 months in. I also know I am in ketosis because of the strict diet I follow. When I zone 2 for 60 minutes in the morning, it's in a fasted state and I can go on for hours. Energy level is continuous. That's the amazing benefit of carnivore. No more highs and lows. I picked the keto mojo. Apparently very accurate.

Lol...i think the ketones are getting to our brains

That's helpful guys I appreciate it. I am skinny fat. Only shows in the abs. I'm sure lots of visceral as well. I have been gaining weight so started cardio in zone 2. As per Peter Attia. But I am noticing I'm beginning to slim down while muscling up. That's why I'm not losing weight I guess. Not that I was trying to loose weight. I'm 6' ,175lbs. I read somewhere that as you feed your body exactly what it needs and in the proper proportions, it returns to homeostasis. The body measurements are a good idea. I did but a keytone blood meter to measure the levels of keytone. Trying to figure it out. I know im using keytone for fuel because I don't eat any carbs. I would like to speed up the process a bit without losing muscle if possible. Good on you guys for figuring this carnivore thing out. Finally I am consuming enough protein to see results. It only took 58 years to get it right Happy carnivore month.

Good day all. I'm trying to sort through all the contradictions of trying to burn fat and gain muscle at the same time. Being strict carnivore now should make this journey easier but I may be sabotaging my progress. Any weight training individuals here who have done this journey? Here are a few questions I'm still dealing with as I hover close to 60 years old. 1. Even on carnivore , eating too many calories will store fat even though insulin is low? 2. Eating 500 calories less than maintenance plus walking 10,000 steps per day plus weight training 3 days a week will give me the desired results as long as I get enough protein and fat??? 3. Should I only weight train on carnivore and just eat to maintenance and forget about calorie deficit and cardio and let my increase in muscle and increased metabolism handle the fat burning ??? Thank you to all who reply.

All good stories. Interesting all the people's journeys. I have to admit that I have started counting calories. I started to gain weight instead of looking weight. I think it's because I'm gaining muscle while loosing fat. I'm trying to loose fat and gain muscle at the same time. Counting carbs makes easy to ensure I'm in a deficit. Being on carnivore and eating the same meals all the time makes it is easy to count. Ground beef, roasts, eggs, butter, bacon, sardines, salt and cheese. Water and coffee. I am also playing with zone 2 training during my walks and also ensuring the 10,000 steps / day. The hardest part for me was getting enough protein before carnivore. That's easy now that I don't eat carbs.

That's amazing for you. Good stuff. I don't have a lot of weight to loose. I was trying to regain my health and add some muscle as I get older. I have always been a hard gainer. Sarcopina is not a good thing. I will look into calorie deficit. On a side note my nephew just reversed his type two after 6 months on carnivore. It's criminal that thus knowledge is s not more popular.

Good morning all I have been on carnivore for 9 months. Feeling better every day. I was wondering about visceral fat burning on carnivore. My go to exercise daily is walking. I use to have to walk at a certain elevated heart rate so as to burn fat first(60%to 70%) of max heart rate. Since I am not eating carbs anymore, does the heart rate zone matter anymore for visceral fat burn since I'm fat adapted? Thank you to all who reply.
