Andre-Im sure this is very frustrating for you. I, too, have been stalled for about a year now, and am trying to figure it out. You may want to check out Annette Bosworth, MD(Dr Boz). She seems to d

I believe that to be true. Everything is not for everyone. I would say evaluate where you are and what you are looking for and then go from there. Thus far I have had nothing but good results. M
Hey people. What's up?
Allow me to share may experience as someone eating nothing but eggs and meats for now 7 months( That so far has been unsucefful):
I have been eating eggs and meat for over 7 months. I started this way of eating with the objetives of improviming my body composistion (Lose bodyfat to be under 15%BF and build some muscle )without being hungry or starve.
I am a healthy individual and i was as healthy to begin with,(Having no cronic deases or healh problems wheni started the Carnivore diet). In fact, i dealy for at elast 3 motnhs initating eating the Carnivore diet, because most of the people i saw(reading and watching videos about the subject) haveing good results from this way of eating, were eitheir peole who had serious health problems or were very overweigth (+-100lbs or more to lose).
I started the Carnivore diet January, 5 2024.
I am now 35 years old, 181cms tall, 180lbs(+-81,5kg) at +-21%BF. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week.(lift weigths to help sustain or increase muscle mass and assist fat loss- HIT Workouts)
I lost about 17 lbs(8kg) in the first 9 weeks (Mostly water since my BF% did not change that much)) but since then I haven't been able to change my body composition.(lose bodyfat) I have now gone more than 4 mothns without registering any body changes (weight loss, decrease in BF% or measurements like waist, legs, arms and neck ).In fact i have gained almost 2,5 lbs(1KG between weeks 10-12, but it might be just water.)
My goals was to be under 15%BF. I healthy man should be under 18-20%BF for heart health.(My family has a lot of people with heart disease. My mother had 2 heat suggeries and One of her Brothers and her Father, both died from heart disease)
To achieve my goal(to be under 15%BF) I still need to lose at least another 12-15lbs, but the Carnivore diet stopped working for me. (I don't undestand how the Carnivora Diet will facilitate this process).
I also have not experienced most of the benefits common to Carnivores (Improved sleep, more energy/disposition, etc.) nor have I changed my body composition significantly.
I am now at least 4 monhts with any significant fat loss results.(I made some ajjustments like eating fattier cuts of meat. Eating leaner cuts of meat like chicken and even eating a combiations of whole eggs plus yoke eggs, with no sucess)
I have been considerating quitting this way of eating, but i am afraid i may gain back some of the weigth .Dont know what to do but i do know i can just keep doing the same things expecting better results. I do see diet as some kind of religion, i have not emotional attachment to the laber of Carnviore, keto or etc. I stated the Carnvivore Diet to lose body fat withouth being hungry or having to be counting calories, as i did for years. I cannot go a whole year eating nothing but eggs and meat, or for the rest of my life, if the Carnivore diet dont allow me to achieve my goal.
Now, that i was able to explain my situation, allwo me to ask a few question about the Carnivore diet:
1- How long should I extend my experience with the Carnivore diet to be able to lose the excess bodyfat I still have?(at least 12-15lbs of fat)
2- What can i do to lose the excess bodyfat i still need to lose, with being hungry(if it is posible)
3-Is CICO nessecery to lose bodyfat even when you are eating only meats and eggs?
4-What is the minimum time you should maintain a Carnivora diet when it is not working for you?(how many weeks or months)
5-Is the Carnivore diet effective for those who are aldreay healthy and just need to improve body composition?
6- How to trasition from a Carnivore diet to a less restriclty way of eating.
Summary: I have been eating eggs and meat for over 7 months. I was a healthy guy (No chronic disease of health problems) who just wanted to lose body fat without starving myself or being hungry. After the initial 9 weeks, I didn't lose much weight. In fact, in the last 4 months, I have not experienced any significant improvements in body composition (fat loss, loss of important muscle mass like shoulders, neck, legs and arms or BF%). I need help understanding howI, as a healthy individual, i can lose body fat without starving myself or how to transition to a less restrictive way of eating. I don't know what to do, but I know I need to change something because the carnivore diet is not working for me.I posted some question the more or less, reflect my struggles with my lack or results.
PS: I am Brazilian, so sorry for any Grammatical errors. I have not be able to interract with any brazilian ou portuguese speaker, who eats a Carnivore diet.(so besides posting questiong in Carnivore videos, by mostly American content creaters) i only have this community where i can express my struggles with the Carnivore diet
Thank you very much for your time and attention
