A few months ago I read about a Carnivore Diet study conducted by Harvard University where approximately 2100 people participated. The study provided incredible insights into the benefits of the Carnivore Diet and at the time, I weighed in at 313 pounds. After reading about the study and the results, I decided to try the Carnivore Diet as a means to lose weight and get healthier overall. Today, coming up on 11 weeks on this diet, I have lost 43 pounds and feel amazing!! I plan to continue this journey until I reach my goal weight of 225 pounds.
At first, I was very skeptical about this diet. I worried about how it would impact my cholesterol and I always suffered from Gout, for which I avoided red meat. After starting the diet, I consume mostly red meat, and have even started eating organ meat again (I love beef liver), and have not suffered a Gout flareup yet. There are Doctors online who swear by this diet and it's benefits. I feel like this diet has helped me sleep better at night. I wake up more energized, and the body aches and pains that plagued me before are good. I used to think the lower back pain in the morning was muscular, but I'm convinced that it was inflammation caused by all the carbohydrates and sugars that I was consuming. Since eliminating Carbs and Sugars, I feel amazing, and plan on adopting this diet as my way of life.
This diet is not necessarily for everyone, but I feel like it's the one diet I can stick to and I'm seeing great results. Best of all, when I had my recent physical all of my lab results were either in the normal range or closing in on normal range when compared to my previous physical results.
Today, I am 270 pounds. I have not been this "lite" since around 2012 when my wife and I welcomed our first born, and I can't wait to reach my goal weight of 225 pounds, which is what I weighed when I was in college.
Below is the link to the Harvard study that was conducted. The results will amaze you, especially for those out there who suffer from Diabetes. Removing Carbs and Sugars from your diet may lead to you getting off the meds.
Hey, I don't blame you man. I was skeptical myself before I started, but I am really amazed at how the weight is coming off without me having to work myself to death in the gym. I don't do cardio, only light weight lifting, but the diet has me burning fat rapidly.
Carbs and Sugars are terrible for us. Especially Sugars!! I went all-in on this and am loving my results.
I'm reading "The Carnivore Code". It makes a lot of claims, including helping with Crohn's disease. I'm debating giving it a try.
But I hate beef liver, not gonna eat it.
I can promise you one thing, this diet got rid of my Gout. Before the diet, if I ate red meat I would get a Gout flare up, and that pain is like HELL!! Now, since giving up Sugars and Carbs, I'm eating more red meat than ever and no Gout flare up!!
I could not do it. I tried and got sick of all the meat. I need variety. Plus, I don't eat pork or beef. Only chicken, turkey and fish (religious beliefs). I'm on keto but I don't lose anymore. I only lost 15 lbs.

Don't you have problems with constipation?
You lost a lot of weight. Good for you!
Yeah, I can see how that can be hard if you don't eat Pork or Beef. I eat all Meats.
I did have an episode of constipation, but that was because I was not eating enough fat. Since I increased my fat intake I have not had constipation again. Plus, you can take over the counter stool softeners to help with constipation.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm excited man! I was resigned to just being obese the rest of my life, but so far so good on Carnivore.
Be careful with fad diets, because once you resume eating as normal, you may regain the weight. Carnivore is a very restrictive diet and I cannot see you lasting on this diet forever.
However, if it's working for you, and you're morbidly obese, I'd suggest stay with it until your target weight but have a concrete plan how to transition back to a normal diet so you don't put all the weight back.

Thank you! I honestly want to make this a lifestyle. It is very restrictive, but I have many reasons to stay away from all the harmful sugars and carbs. So far I’m doing great. I know other guys who do Carnivore for 6-8 weeks and then go back to normal eating.
