I did have the pleasure meeting Bob at The Healing Humanity Meatup in Columbus August 2025.

Hello! I just got my lab results and would like your input. My new provider that I just established with sent me a message and basically told me I should really consider going on a statin and yes my A1C is prediabetic. I have been doing the Carnivore Life Style since 05/13/2024 (858 days). I did put in my information into Copilot to help me explain my lifestyle and the results to my doctor. LDL: 175 mg/dL ApoB: 129 mg/dL HDL: 120 mg/dL Triglycerides: 51 mg/dL Insulin: 2.6 µIU/mL A1C: 5.8% Fructosamine: 245 µmol/L hs-CRP: 1.0 mg/L BMI: 22.46 My overall pattern aligns with what is described in the literature as a Lean Mass Hyper-Responder (LMHR) profile. Individuals who are lean, insulin-sensitive, and follow a very low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet often demonstrate elevated LDL and ApoB despite excellent triglycerides, HDL, inflammation markers, and insulin levels. In this context, LDL elevations may reflect changes in cholesterol transport and lipid metabolism rather than the metabolic dysfunction commonly associated with insulin resistance. My A1C is slightly elevated, but my fasting insulin and fructosamine suggest good glycemic control. It has been proposed that low-carbohydrate diets may contribute to mildly elevated A1C values through longer red blood cell lifespan and physiological adaptations to carbohydrate restriction, potentially making A1C appear somewhat higher than expected relative to other markers of glucose metabolism. I'm considering taking Berberine to see if this helps lower by A1C. My daily diet consists of OMAD, most days, Beef, Butter, Bacon and Eggs. I do incorporate some salmon and lamb. I do drink black coffee, water and some plain no flavor sparkling water. (Please don't take my Carnivore card away) Bob-thank you for your weekly live streams, I do listen to it on play back on my way to work daily and really enjoy your content! Mary@Greek Carnivore

Hello Fellow Carnivores! Happy Carnivore month! I’ll be doing BBBE this month! Let’s do this!

Good morning! I’ve noticed many posts on social media that some Carnivores are quitting this lifestyle? My biggest why is to lower my blood glucose. I’ve been Carnivore for 521 days and have had many NSV’s, lowered my blood glucose, managed my anxiety, better skin, sleep, I’m happier and I did manage to lose a few pounds. Thank you for this community-I really enjoy the Carnivore Talk YouTube Monday night Livestream! Wishing you a wonderful day! 🥓🥩🌞🍳🐄
