That's Awesome

muchas gracias Amigo!

that's great haven't weight myself in about two weeks but I know I'm losing weight, was down 16 pounds on doctor scale, and I'M down three notches on my belt, really easy for me to eat this way.

me too Roy....easy to eat like this. Down 3 waist sizes now to 31 from 34

I ate about 3 pounds of trigger treat candy over the past several days. Man that puts on the pounds fast.
I need to get back on the "plan".

I have been dealing with back pain for 16 years and I’m about to try this diet. If it can help with inflammation I’m in.

it sure helps my joints feel better.

161 pounds blood sugar 111 a little high because I missed my evening walk. Im practicing knee bends for dirt trapping.

Heres a breakdown what I told someone..in a nutshell
Hey Guy...Good Morning from Ohio. I was also diabetic type 2....blocked aorta they think defective from birth(heredity)in the men in my family. Leukemia 15 yrs no treatment.
I am now down to 161 lbs in about 5 weeks. Blood sugar without meds usually about 97-105 but this morning glucose 111 because i missed evening walk. I eat meat and fish....no snacking. I eat once a day ALWAYS before 6 pm. I drink ice water or black coffee or tea only. Nothing with sugar.
Calling me sir is like putting an elevator in an outhouse...doesnt fit........just call me steve or westriver but thanks for being respectful. The hardest part the first 3 days was carb withdrawl. When your gut tells you its hungry its lying. Its carb withdrawl. Just eat meat. In about 3-4 days the gut stops saying hungry. Then it becomes easy. I was on metformin and others for yrs....kills your body...stop. I take no precription meds anymore. Drs had me on 11.This way of eating is helping my body. I believe it will help you too. Medical field isnt helping...just masking the problem. And I trust God. Thats a relatively new thing to me. Was on the streets for yrs...no parents to speak of. mma fighter,street fighter...govt trapper...service...43-44 broken bones...u name it I did it. God has saved me from it all now. If I can help just ask or ill give you my phone number. Here willing to help....steve

Glucose 98 this morning...woohoo...160-161 pounds...God is Good! No meds!

That is great!

well last night was the first time in a while that we went out for dinner, lots of people I knew ask if I was ok because they could tell that I lost weight, I told them I was fine, just about everyone in this small town new what happen to my grandson so there was a lot of questions about that all night, people are good in a small town.

Have any of you guys on this diet had any health problems because of it? I'm primarily interested in avoiding gout.

Corky I had chronic gout for yrs...Stopped allopurinal a month ago and so far no gout!

Corky, I've been on a carnivore diet since Feb 4, 2023. I had chronic gout. I haven't had it since and also quit my gout meds,and two BP meds. I'm down between 60 - 65 lbs depending on how much activity I do. I'm 62 and haven't felt like this in years. I have blood work set for tomorrow, so far all the blood work since Feb has been great.

I cut my blood pressure medicine in half after going low carb for several months. Not taking any now. To soon to tell for sure but so far so good.

Can you eat any vegetables on this diet, like maybe non-carb, green vegetables? Thinking about trying it just or kicks.

So, you only eat once a day? Morning or? How much meat per day? Any other advice?

I u
I usually eat from 2-4 pm and yes only once a day...no snacks. I try to eat a 4-6 oz piece of meat or chicken. The Dr who promotes this diet says you can eat many times or as much as you want but im trying to keep my stomache small.

Possible keto flu or flu now, not sure which. I usually dont get the flu... looks like 159 weight this morn. Im ready to stop losing now .

So 4-6 ounces a day is just to get your weight down? What will you then eat to maintain your desired weight, while still having the energy to do physical stuff?

same
thats me,u can modify it to you. I may try adding jeffs low carb cakes etc.

I am very sure a man need more than 500 calories a day....maybe 1500 more.

I eat 3 meals a day but try to keep my total carbs 0-10 for the day, I've been losing weight steady. I've made bacon and cabbage. and I have made cauliflower rice.

yesterday i made cooked cabbage...fish, and i ate an avacado.

keto flu or flu bug is gone....was gone yesterday. I want to keep my weight where it is now about 160.

Kudos to you guys doing the carnivore diet, it sure eliminates all the unhealthy foods.

A person that just needs to lose weight and get healthy, will get pretty much the same results adding a few vegies. If nothing more than the enjoyment of the satisfying crunch it can give some gastric disturbances but might keep a person on track of their diet easier. I say once you can eat low carb and want to take it a step further try carnivore if you want.

Carbs really are not bad, and needed once your weight and health stabilized. When I was in Keto burning just fat, it was a struggle to find energy and was losing muscle mass quickly. Keto is a starvation diet eating all you want. When you run out of fat to burn you burn muscle six times faster than you did the fat. Extended Keto and you would look like Jewish prisoners in German prison camp.

Humans were meant to spike their blood sugar once in a while, Like when they find honey or a ripe fruit tree.

Mike Mentzer ate cookies and ice cream and won body building championships. It all depends on how much you burn vs how much you take in. It dont matter where you get your carbs as long as you burn them. It could be pure sugar and still lose weight.

Some people are skinny fat. Thats a slender person with a bit of a beer gut and maybe love handles. Think Asian Indian type body They have high amount of abdominal fat and that's the bad stuff. Most likely becoming insulin resistant or already type II diabetes. India has the highest rate of all countries, and they eat mostly vegies and rice.

103 blood sugar this morning, No diabetes meds in like 3 weeks...praise God.

Glad you are doing well on your diet Steve.

I took a different approach to losing weight. I've lost 28 pounds in 3 months. I walk 30 to 40 miles a week. I still drink pop, eat candy, eat pasta, etc. but, and this is a big but, I cut back on portions and seconds or even thirds and I for the most part don't eat anything after 6 in the evening. I've eaten a little ice cream at 9 or 10 a few times in that 3 months but mostly I've been able to abstain. Triglycerides are way down, cholesterol is down to 157, although the bad cholesterol is still too high supposedly. I've never had any problem with my sugar. The doc took me off one BP med and we will drop the other one in a couple months if all goes well. I have to wear a heart monitor for 30 days now but hopefully it will show nothing serious.

walking is a very good thing....

A cup of bone broth will help with the keto flu.

bug is gone,,wasnt keto flu

I walk 10-14 a week randy(not golfing)..I dont have time to walk more..on the go constantly with the weight loss.

so I'm down 30 pounds as of this morning , todays breakfast

The eggs i know...whats the other?

corky,

As yukonjeff posted, carbs aren't bad, most people just eat WAY too many and don't get enough physical activity.

Eat all the veggies you want. You do need some carbs to help with brain function. Make sure to get enough fat in your diet.

I've posted before, but, low carb is considered anything under 130grs of carbs per day. Pretty easy to do.

Take your pick on how you wish to achieve that.

I lost 15 lb in a month and a half 2 years ago when the Dr had me off work thinking I had MS.

Why? My guess is I was eating at home everyday and not traveling for work and eating fast food once or rice a day on the 14 out of 28 days of the month I'm scedualed to work. I was not working any of my days off back then.

If it aint broke dont fix it... no carbs for me... they only make me hungry. Dr doing this carnivore diet says you dont need carbs .. i believe him

blood sugar 102 no meds....perfect

weight now like 158 im trying not to lose since 160 pounds. Went in town yesterday and friend in dollar tree told me "steve" you better stop losing weight." I said im not trying now im eating a few carbs now...like 10-15 a day.

I am on day 6 of the carnivore diet. Down 12lbs so far. First couple days was a little hard but it's been getting easier. I like that my energy level stays constant. I used to crash after most meals.

When doing zero carbs, taking electrolytes helped me

What's a guy do to gain weight had a high metabolism my whole life I eat anything I want whenever I want usually a box of tasty cakes a day along with lunch an dinner just coffee an donut for breakfast but I'm like 150 on a good day would like to get up to 165 170

Age? I was 140 until I turned 28 then boom 180 lol

quit smoking

Get de-wormed...

I'm 35 an 5 10 I'll try whatever at this point

i didn't gaan weight till I hit 45yrs old

i was 5'10 130 when we got married in 85'

I started putting on weight in my 40s and this is the first time that I've lost weight and feels like I can keep it off. I was a 168 pounds with a 29-inch waist when I got marry at 30 year of age, well I would be happy to get down to 200 pounds
