So I've been on Carnivore for four weeks now and have only just realized hunger feels different now. Haven't had any issues up until now but I was feeling "wobbly" and realized I only had one meal yesterday and one brekkies 10 hours ago. I don't have a growly stomach to announce its food time anymore. Something I must pay attention to in the future. I can be too focused when I'm working on something and that's why I forgot to eat.  Otherwise, this way of eating is refreshingly easy with losing aches, pains and weight being a massive bonus.

Yes Scott, I'm going to look into that. I know ruminant meat is what most recommend. The first 3 weeks I was eating grilled pork bellies because they were the cheapest fattiest meat I could find, and I dropped 6kgs (some was probably water weight). I was also eating a lot of eggs and butter. I then went onto 'Rump tails' not sure what it's called in other countries. The meat is cheap and has a nice layer of fat on it but I think it's too lean inside. I'm not exercising because it's so cold and wet outside (mid winter here) but I think I need to do as you did. Start exercising, find a fattier cut and reintroduce eggs (because they pair so well with butter) am considering asking my butcher to make up a few kgs of 60/30/10 Beef/fat/liver mince so I can have something quick to nuke with the eggs. I have found a place that sells pure a grade beef tallow in 5kg tubs  so that's next. As you say it is an experiment and thanks for the advice. I have already started to see other health benefits so this is no longer a diet for me. This is tuning and tweaking the way I'm eating in future. Cheers

Thanks peeps. Good to know. Lots of new info to take in but first hand accounts are always more reliable and relateable.

Carb hunger is more aggressive, obvious, in your face, like a Karen. Carnivore hunger is like a stalker, a killer in the night, it sneaks up on you. 

Consider fat intake, and mind your electrolytes, with regards to feeling empty.

When I get hungry on carnivore, it's basically an empty feeling and I know I want to eat.
When I would get "hungry" on carbs, I would be starving, ravenous, and nauseous, and felt like I was going to drop dead of starvation if I didn't eat something soon.

It can be easy to under eat in the beginning of carnivore because it satiates us so well that we just don’t get hungry like we used to. Instead of a hunger that craves food like it did when we were carb eaters our bodies tend to just let us know when it needs fuel.
A carb hunger vs a carnivore hunger.
It’s important then to make sure you are getting enough food and nutrition at each meal. You need plenty of fat to go with the protein.
I generally only eat one meal a day so i make sure I eat enough.

Sometimes the 'wobbly' is a sign to eat. For me, it was I found my electrolytes were not up to par. I didn't really read the instructions but pretty much dove right into carnivore.
I tried some of the pre-made electrolyte drinks, but they tasted horrible to me. I made a homemade electrolyte solution that also tasted 'not so good'. 
Now, I use the electrolyte solution and slat my food to taste. Since then, I have been actually hungry only twice in just over 60 days. I basically eat 1 meal a day, occasionally two, but I have also done a couple 48-hour fasts.
My 'wobblies' were more to do with electrolytes than eating.
