I've been on the carnivore diet 5 months and have lost about 57 pounds. Started at 370 and weighed 313 this morning. For more than half of this diet, I've only eaten lunch and dinner, no breakfast. I'm thinking of going to OMAD. From you guy's experience, what one meal is it best to eat if you're only eating one per day? I can see pros and cons to each. If it's only breakfast I eat, I won't be having a meal with the family, and I'll create a hassle trying to cook while two kids and my wife are all trying to get ready for the day. I guess a pro could be that I can run all day on that meal and the time at which I'd be most likely to be hungry is when I'm asleep. But if that caused sleep problems, it wouldn't be worth it. If it's only lunch I eat, I'll be at work and having anything decent there would be a chore. If it's only dinner I eat, I'll be sleeping with all that food on me and most likely be super hungry at work. What have you guys experienced?

I agree. I am super stoked that this is so easy and working well. Can't wait to see my cardiologist next March and step on his scale. I'm sure I'll hit more plateaus but I just need to keep taking my vitamin P.

Well, as it turns out, I was just being impatient I guess. When I wrote this, I was at 42 lbs lost and it seemed I was hovering around that for 2-3 weeks. Since I wrote this though, I've started losing again. 50 lbs down now! Started in late April at 370, now 320.

Well, maybe I shouldn't call it a stall just yet. I got on the scale this morning and I'm down 45. I know it's a slow weight loss. I guess it was just a little slower for the last 2-3 weeks. I'm determined though. Gonna keep at this.

I do drink electrolytes, "Micro Ingredients". One serving in a quart of water in the morning and another at night. I don't eat any dairy except a small amount of real cheddar cheese. I don't exercise much either.

I started carnivore about 17 weeks ago after watching my friend do very well on it and my chiropractor recommended it to me. I started at 370lbs. I'm 49 years old (man) and I've been overweight my whole life but never as heavy as the last couple years. I've lost 42 lbs in the last 17 weeks. I feel better. I have more energy most of the time, less back aches and my sleep apnea has improved. I hit a plateau at 20 lbs lost. I decided I was eating too many calories per day, so I cut out breakfast. I started eating a decent lunch and a good dinner and started losing again. I've now hit another plateau at 42lbs lost but I haven't changed anything. I do get hungry sometimes mid-morning. Do y'all think I need to add a small breakfast back in? The breakfast I cut out was too much to start with like a 3-egg omelet with bacon and cheese, lol. Good but too much. I should add, my wife and son are on it and have both lost about 30lbs. They started a little later than I did.
