Increasing Hunger on Carnivore?
That's a good idea, thanks! I found a butcher nearby that sells beef fat trimmings. I started frying those up as a snack and keeping the tallow for cooking. I loved eggs. But for some reason, I can't eat them anymore. It started before I went carnivore. They make me feel nauseous. It's too bad because they are pretty convenient and have a good amount of fat. I tried pasture raised, in case it was a sensitivity to something the chickens were being fed, but no luck. Thanks. I'm still trying to figure all of this out. I've got ~30 pounds yet to lose, and I've been stuck for almost 2 months now. I'm trying to think about what I did differently a few months back. I wonder if I was more active, making me drink more water. I can consciously try to drink more, and see if that helps. Plus, it wouldn't hurt me to move more. I didn't know that! Thanks!

Increasing Hunger on Carnivore?
I have an update: The cravings were so horrible that I was seriously considering driving to the store to pick up a load of junk food for a cheat day. All I could think about was food all day, so something was definitely not right. Yesterday, I tried upping the amount of fat I ate significantly, and I think that made a difference. I ended up eating a stick and a half of butter, then a little over half a pound of ground beef. I did the same today, too. I guess I just needed more fat. No cravings, no hunger. I love dairy so much, but I limit it to just butter since I'm still trying to lose some weight.

So, this might be related: I haven't lost weight since the stall, but my belt size has gone down, indicating fat loss. I have also noticed that I am much stronger than I used to be. I can throw further than I could about 2 months back, and I can do pull-ups while wearing my backpack. The only time I have been able to do pull-ups was when I was working out religiously and weighed ~200lbs. And I am still approx. 235lbs clothed without the pack. Carnivore can increase test levels. Maybe I am still losing fat but gaining an equal weight in muscle? Has anyone had muscle growth on carnivore without weight lifting? It would likely be muscle that I had before from weight lifting while in the military but didn't maintain due to being a desk worker for years. Thanks. Watching it now.

Dairy is an issue with me. I love cheese, so I don't really eat any because I don't lose any weight when eating it. They only sweetener in anything I consume is in unsweetened carbonated water that contains some juice (1-2g carbs per can. Ingredients: carbonated water, lemon juice, lime juice, or orange juice). But that hasn't changed recently either. I've been drinking those almost the entire time I have been eating this way. On a bad day, I might drink 3, but normally 1-2 per day. The only ingredients I add to my food are salt and butter or tallow. I'll try cutting out the drinks, and see if that helps.

I think I ate about 1.5-2 pounds of meat plus some butter in that single meal. I usually cook in butter and add butter on top after cooking. I don't think I was that hungry in between those meals. Definitely not like now. I lost 40 pounds since starting and have been about the same for a little over 4 weeks. That probably the case lol. I'll have to add the fat back. I'm trying to save money, so I get whatever is cheap. A lot of the fat from ground beef cooks out, and the roasts are on the leaner side, so I am probably not getting enough fat. Thanks. I feel better about how much I am eating. It just seems like so much food, especially when compared to anyone I might eat. "Here are your 2 burgers. Don't mind my pile of 6+ burgers."

Increasing Hunger on Carnivore?
Hello. I've been doing carnivore for somewhere around 100 days. For the last month, my weight has stayed the same (~230lbs), and I have had a big increase in hunger. I had been doing intermittent fasting and only eating 1 meal a day. About 2 weeks ago, I added a second meal because I was still hungry. And now I am eating about 3+ pounds of meat a day. It seems like it might be too much for me, as I'm only 5'9". Today, I ate 2 pounds of ground beef (80/20), 1 pound of bacon, and coffee with 2 tbsp of butter. And yet, I am still hungry. Yesterday, I think I ate closer to 4 pounds of meat. Is this normal? I have not really been working out or making any drastic changes in activity level. My goal is to reach 195-200 lbs, so I have a decent amount of weight to lose before I hit a healthy weight.
