  1. It makes more sense when you are healthy and active. Most people are sedentary and will likely gain body fat. However, if you go to the gym and move, you can get better results. There are many people who have benefited from eating fruit or some type of carbohydrate. People here look at carbohydrates as if they were the devil... It doesn't make sense for me to look at Diet as if it were a religion or a macronutrient with moral judgment... This is the Bullshit Vegans do!
  2. I am not over 5 months eating a Carnivore diet. The only thing that i felt was some heart palpitations after the initial 6 weeks and only went to the bathroom 2-3 a week. Eating more fat will help but no tfix any problem. This diet is not magical. It my experience, it is just a way ot restricnting caloires with the most satitaing food - meat. Good luck , you are not the only one who struggles with this way of eating. If it continues, sick a doctor
  3. Bob, 15%BF is not low. I healhty male should be under 18%BF is i am not even in the healthy range(I would encorage you to take some time and read about BF%. I think you have been seen so many obse individuals that anyone who is not obese, you are considerating Ripped. That is not reality) what can became a problem since i am 35 years old and have Cardiovascular disease in my family(almost every male in my mother side of the family had some heart condition). In your story you dont say what waws your intial bodyfat and end bodyfat. Yoy can google BF% pictures and you will see 15% is nothing anormal. I used to be leaner when i played soccer. I also initiated the Carnivore dietdoing 2-3 HIT workotus to assit build muscle and lose fat.(What most Carnivores dont do it) However, i have not gained any amount of muscle mass, what was to be expected since Keto Diest usually are not percived a god ways to improve lean muscle mass. I was not expecting a miracle. I was just expecting that after 5 months i would be able to lose most of my Bodyfat and at least be in the healthy range (Under 18B%F). I have lost only 15 lbs and most of it was water. This is very bad results.( Most CICO diets would have allow me to lose more bodyfat in the same period of time. The problem would be sustained.) I will stay eating Carnivore until June.(when i will complete 7 months of a failure experiement) but now i dont really have much holp i wil break the stall. I will use this time to search for another diet since eating meat is expensive and i cannot sustained for much longer. I guess the Carnivore diet is just like any other way of eating: It works for some folks, it doenst work for others and for most people is just mediocre. You already can find on youtube a lot of videos of people quintting the Carnivore and even keto diet, because there is not one size fits all. It is a shame to me, because i actually believed in it! Good Luck
  4. I have only ate meat, eggs and some bacon. I have not problem with my Thyroid. The Carnvire diet just did not work for me. I dont know why but after the initial water weight loss i have not lose much body fat. I am now around 22 %BF and have not lose any body fat for at lest 12 weeks
  5. I don't know if I can or should expect weight loss on a Keto diet since it allows for more types of foods than a Carnviore diet. In my 4+ months of eating meat and eggs, I only lost body fat in the first 6 weeks. In fact, I gained up to 1kg( 2,2) between weeks 10 to 13. This is why I fear that following a Keto diet and not counting calories will lead to a gain in body fat. If this experience has taught me anything, it's that there's nothing magical about eating fat and protein. At least not when you are a healthy person just looking to improve your body composition (lose fat and gain muscle) Thanks
  6. Counting Caloires is not a matter of likiing but a necessity. I have been eating to satiaty for more than 120 days and it did not led to better results taht people have by only staying on a Caloric defict.(there are people eating all types of food and by just staying on a caloric deficit were able to lose more body fat that i did, eating nothing but meat and eggs. Now that i will incoporete some carb into my diet i did think that it should require counting calories. Since the Carnivore Diet did not work for me, i have to considera the fact that eating until i am full also may not work.
  7. Hi Bob. I've been eating more fat, trying to increase my physical activity, and fasting longer. Nothing has really changed. (I stopped eating chicken, increased my fat intake, ate more red meat, especially fattier cuts like neck steak), but I'm still about 183 pounds and 20-22% body fat. In my first 6 weeks I lost 17 pounds (mostly water), I didn't lose any significant amount of weight. My measurements have been the same since week 7. As i also explain in many posts that i am a healthy individual and have not experienced most of the Carnivore benefits. My personal experience with this way of eating and my failure to improve my body composition led me to believe that the Carnivore diet is not sustanable for me. Too restrictive, not effecteve enoguh and very expensive. I am Brazilian and the best cuts of meat a very expensive for me. I will not be able to eat like this for much longer especially with no guarantee i will ever lose any mor weigth. I dont know what enogh fat means or how i shoudl calculate this number. Eating more fat did not led me to better results. I was wonder if i should start counting caloires again since i will have to incorporate carb. Thank you and good luck.
  8. I would like to ask for some advice on how to transition from a carnivore diet. I have been a Strick Carnivore for over 120 days. I lost 17 pounds in the first 6 weeks (mostly water), but after that, I was unable to lose any significant amount of weight. In fact, in the last 3 weeks I have gained 2.5 pounds. When I started the carnivore diet, I did so as a healthy individual with body recomposition goals. I don't have any health problems. I didn't experience most of the famous of the carnivore diet benefits such as great fat loss, muscle gain, better sleep, more energy, and so on. After 120 days of eating only meat and eggs (400-500g of Cocked meat plus 7-8 eggs per day) I have come to the conclusion that the Carnivorie diet will not allow me to lose the weight I still have (15-20lbs) and achieve my goal of having less than 15% body fat without having to starve or count every calorie I eat. 1 - So i would like to ask what can i incorporate to the Carnivore diet? 2-What are the food i could eat in a ketogentic diet? (How much carbs is allowed in a Ketognic diet?) 3- Should i expect any weight/fat gain? Thank you very much for the attetion.This may be my last post since i was not able to succced in the Carnivore diet. I Really thought this would work but i guess as most diets, this way of eating works great for some people, it is mediocre for others individuals and it doesnt for some folks. Good luck with your journey on the Carnivore Diet.
  9. Body recomposition is not something experience lifter can undergo easily. You can lose 10 lbs of fat and gain 2 lbs of muscle but you cannot lose 10 of fat and gain 10 lbs of muscle. A Narural lifter may be able to build 15-20 lbs of muscle mass in his best year of training. I dont think you understand how hard is to build muscle mass
  10. I am now 100 days in a Strick Carnivore diet(I only eat meats and eggs. Nothing more) I started the Carnivore diet to improve my body composition. I was a healthy guy with no chronic illness or healthy problems. I lost about 15 lbs in the first 6 weeks (Mostly water) but since then I haven't been able to change my body composition. I have now gone more than 6 weeks without registering any body changes (weight loss, decrease in BF% or measurements) I still need to lose at least another 15lbs of fat to reach my goal of being below 15%BF. However, I don't see how the Carnivora Diet will facilitate this process. I have not experienced most of the benefits common to Carnivores (Improved sleep, more energy/disposition, etc.) nor can I change my body composition. So I would like to ask more experienced Carnivores: 1- How long should I extend my experience with the Carnviroa diet to be able to lose the excess weight I still have? 2- What is the minimum time you should maintain a Carnivora diet when it is not working for you? Thank you for your attention Good luck to everyone
  11. Besides loing some weigth i have not experience most of the Carnivore diet benefits. However, i was healthy when i started the Carnivore diet. I guess it doest work for healty people or some people were not meant to eat only meat
  12. No. i have been training now for more than 3 years. Now experienced lifter will increase muscle mass while losing fat
  13. Hey, what's up guys! I need some advice on cuts of meat to eat on the carnivore (strick Carnivore diet) diet. I've been eating mostly red meat (chuck steak and neck steak. Those cuts fit my budget), chicken thighs, and whole eggs. I have been stuck in my fat loss for over 1 month. I was advised to eat about 70-75% of my calories/food from fat. However,i have been eating more or less a 1:1 fat to protein ration How can I add fat to leaner cuts of meat and how to measure the amount of fat I'm eating (I don't want to eat too much fat, increase my calorie intake too much and get fat. I need to lose at least 15 pounds of fat. Now it's more like 20 ) Does anyone know who to add fat to and how to measure it? Thanks
