Body composition with carnivore weight loss

[Scott F.]

Today is 7 months since I started Carnivore. This morning, I tipped the scales at 223lbs which is 83lbs less than 7 months ago. I have not taken pain medicine nor inflammation medicine since late May/early June. I have Neuromyelitis Spectrum Disorder (basically Multiple Sclerosis but attacks the optic nerves). Other than a couple bouts with some bath room issues, I have only positives.

The last month I have bounced around 76-79lbs lost. During that same time I dropped pant size for 40 to 38. Lost inches with pounds basically remaining the same. My weight loss has been erratic yet consistent, if that makes sense. The first thirty pounds came off pretty much a pound a day but from there it has been drops, mini-stalls/stabilize, then drops. I was on 79 a couple different time last week and week before but never actually touching 80. 4lb drop from yesterday til today.

No change in diet, actually eating more as of late. At 55 I'm increasing the work in the gym and hoping to build some muscle/off set age related muscle loss as well as knowing it is the best defense against the muscle issues with NMO/SD.  

7 months and I have pretty much nothing but positives. So much so, my wife is starting tomorrow. I am hoping this is the biggest positive yet.

I love a good story. 
Great results and positive influence. 
The weight fluctuations are perfectly normal and if you are building muscle it may even go up as you trim down. 
Im so happy you are doing so well. 
Keep up the good work and I hope your wife benefits equally well.

Thank you.

My son is giving it another go. He dropped about 13 pounds in 2+ weeks. 

We just cooked a bunch of pork chops, a few hamburgers and a big ribeye. 

We are both loaded up for the start of the work week.

The scale is not the be all and all. The scale, the mirror, AND the gym, will tell you much more. How do you look? What is your strength and fitness? Those combined with weight, will tell you what you need to know. Weight alone means relatively little. You need the mirror and an periodical assessment of your performance in the gym along side of just weight, to really know how you're doing. Losing weight can mean so many things, good or bad. Hence you should have alt three aforementioned factors in your journey towards health. 

Diet loses the fat, muscles keep the fat off. Weight is an arbitrary term better left out of the equation. Just my opinion.
