I was the same way when I first started. I went with the 'eat when hungry and eat til comfortably full' I lost 95lbs in about 10-11 months.
I could eat a steak today and it would be 24-36 hours before I had the slightest inkling of hunger.
Around 15-16 months I started protein shakes to try to hit protein targets with the lack of hunger. I experimented with a store bought 30 gram protein drink which had 7 grams of sugar. When I drank these it triggered some hunger and I could then get in another steak or burger.
I have since gained some weight back due to eating to a target vs. eating when I'm hungry.
I think carnivore results vary from person to person but I also think people have to dial it in to fit them as an individual. It takes some experimenting and dialing to make it fit just right.
Good luck.

It depends on what your goals are at the moment. I'm 5'8" and approximately 80kg if the online conversion calculator is correct.
If you are trying to lose weight, the general rule is not to eat unless you're hungry. It's certainly won't hurt you to fast for two or three days.
I wouldn't go much beyond that. Your body does have protein and nutritional needs, so eventually you will want to have a meal.
Some people practice fasting regularly, often choosing to do a 2 to 5 day fast once a month, or once a quarter, etc.
