Man this worries me also I couldn’t watch the movie in my browser for whatever reason but I’m worried

Can you get shredded abs on carnivore diet? I have a book about getting great abs and it says you need to eat a good deal of carbohydrates for great abs any thoughts?

Thus topic is for Type 1’s (insulin dependent) the problem is that if a T1 has low blood sugar they will need to take some glucose tablets. The glucose tablets will pop you out of ketosis so as an example, a T1 can go thru a week long period of pure carnivore diet and they will deal with keto fatigue for the week, but then for whatever reason the blood sugar is running low. so they are required to take glucose tabs the second glucose tabs are consumed you’re out of ketosis this is problematic always being in keto flu and never being able to stay in ketosis also if a type 1 is going to exercise they eat glucose tabs. Am I wrong about this? it seems like carnivore is good for T1’s but not really because T1’s have to use glucose tabs to regulate blood sugars any thoughts?

Woah, you can’t just have beef and water because that’s only 20% fat. i simply don’t understand how to calculate the diet why are people saying to eat 80% fat and at the same time saying they only eat beef and water. Your calculations are way way off. isn’t a beef only diet too much protein? Does protein give us muffin tops or is it fat? I don’t understand why people are adding all this butter? Doesn’t butter make you fat? This should be simple but everything is contradictory. I dunno who’s advice to follow

I can’t understand the measurements. I’ve sat with paper and pen and calculator for hours trying to craft meals with 80% fat it makes no sense also I was losing weight but gained fat in my belly, made a muffin top. I don’t like it did I get a muffin top eating too much butter, it was i eating too much protein?

Is that what the diet requires? it really makes no sense. An egg should have a balanced amount of fat and protein. cavemen didn’t have sticks of butter Something about meal measurements makes no sense

I honestly don’t understand how much fat to add. I’ve done the calculations and I must have done it all wrong. if I eat 4 eggs, how much butter do I add? if I eat a pound of ground beef, how much butter is added? ground beef has 15% fat, so it’s like you have to add a full stick of butter 1 pound of ground beef just to make it the right ratio… it makes nonsense

Thanks, it is good hearing from you. Im still confused. If I eat a half pound of ground beef how much butter do I add? I want to lose fat from my body not gain fat. I’d like to have a flat stomach not a muffin top. it seems things are working backwards for me

The calculations are terribly confusing. There must be a mathematical formula to make it easier to calculate how much fat to add. I can’t afford ribeyes every day. the main meats I get are 1 pound of ground beef packages, or packages with two pork chops, or a pound of wild shrimp. I use the nutritional labels to try calculating everything, and I must add too much butter because I am losing weight and gaining fat!!! That’s why I’m freaking out. I don’t want MORE fat around the waste. So what should I do? less butter? More ribeye? also I noticed fatigue on carnivore. I learned to add sea salt in big amounts even though I don’t like salt. I’ve never liked adding salt to food. then… then I fell off the wagon sorta hard for two days: I drank a bunch of alcohol then a pint of ice cream, cookies, and like 4 packages of Ramon noodles. I lost it. Then wound up at this message board all muffin topped

Here’s another one that makes no sense A 1 pound filet of salmon (you would think it’s loaded with fat but it’s not) 1 pound filet salmon =640 calories 28 grams fat 92 grams protein so to make this filet of salmon around 75% fat you need to add 8 Tablespoons of butter!!! Eight Tablespoons!! 8 Tablespoons butter =800 calories 96 grams fat 0 grams protein. literally a full stick of butter is needed just to balance the fat ratio to 75% area This makes no sense

Here’s another meal 2 tins of sardines in olive oil 2 tablespoons of butter = 600 calories 50 grams fat 38 grams protein ^^ this is 76% fat. But it requires 2 tablespoons of butter to bring the fat into range. The sardines are already full of olive oil. It makes no sense. The bulk of this meal is butter and oil. if your meals are 75% fat you’re having to eat a 1/2 stick of butter at every meal. That’s not a carnivore diet, it’s a Butter Diet. Something doesn’t add up right

Another example a pack of bacon is 500 calories 35 grams of fat 50 grams of protein ^^ this is 70% fat. But if you added eggs then you are losing fat and would need to add MORE butter!? how can that even be possible? Bacon is the fattiest meat there is. what people are saying about how they eat 80% fat meals and they rarely add butter, it makes no sense.

This meal 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons of butter = 470 calories 43 grams fat 19 grams protein ^^ This is only 56% fat. That makes no sense. This is an ultra fatty meal yet it’s only 56% fat, and we are supposed to calculate meals at 75-80% fat. are we supposed to eat a full stick of butter at every meal?? It makes no sense

None of this makes any sense. It’s too complicated. What am I supposed to eat exactly? how can I measure 1 meal exactly how do I lose belly fat? Am I eating too much fat or too much protein? Which one is it You’ve stated the carnivore diet isn’t a diet? That makes no sense

I’m trying to calculate this and I’m confused. I’m 212 pounds and the ratios is 1 gram of protein per Kilogram of body weight. so that means I should eat 97 grams of protein per day. but when I calculated it using the online videos I got 168 grams protein per day. that makes no sense. how much protein should I consume? Im trying to lose belly fat and carnivore diet is giving me a muffin top even though i lost a few pounds i look fatter than before

I don understand how people are eating 80% fat diets without adding tons of butter. It requires a stock of butter per day to make those ratios? According to videos online carnivore diet is 80% fats. It makes no sense?

Hey everyone I tried carnivore diet for a couple weeks and it gave my stomach a muffin top. It’s never been muffin top in my whole life until carnivore. It’s scary. I lost a few pounds but gained a muffin top. my goal was to get a flat stomach and I got an ugly muffin top now. I am confused about what protein and fat ratios to eat. I’ve spent hours trying to calculate meals with 75% fat. It seems un natural to eat 75% fat because no meats have that much fat. I’ve watched countless online videos about carnivore diet and I don’t understand the fat to protein ratio. they say we need to eat 75-80% fat in all meals but that would mean I would need to eat 1.5 sticks of butter daily? Is that right? The videos online are also contradictory about how much protein I need to consume daily. this should not be so confusing. my current weight is 212 pounds my goal weight is 184 pounds i am type 1 diabetic too so that’s not a big help how much protein should I eat daily? how much butter do I eat daily? How much is too much? my goal is weight loss as in fat loss and especially getting rid of this muffin top that appeared unexpectedly everyone else is having such great results but I got a muffin top it’s so depressing looking. everyone else just eats whatever and does not measure everything, and many videos say they eat 75% fats but never add any butter? It makes no sense to me. i had keto fatigue and added Redmon sea salt and maybe it helped but I don’t like the taste of salt. I’ve never salted my food until carnivore diet flu. I’m scared to continue carnivore because it gave me a muffin top even though I lost a few pounds my body looks worse
