Don’t worry about fasting windows, trying to eat only one or two meals a day when you are first starting the carnivore diet. Get used to the diet, figure out what you need to eat to feel satiety and making sure you are consuming enough protein. Too much focus on fasting can sometimes lead to underconsumption of protein. This is about the long run, what can you sustain weeks and months from now. God bless

There was a point in my carnivore journey that I felt obligated to follow a set of rules that I thought I had to in order to eat a carnivore diet. I do think this is a position many of us find ourselves in, … eating until you can’t eat any more, or if you have cravings, can’t lose weight, or feel hungry between meals, just add more butter. I think this is such a general statement made without looking at why we may be in this position in the first place. If you have come from a background of overeating, it may be difficult to know when you should actually stop eating, as your hunger cues have been misread for so many years. What you are filling your plate with makes a difference as well. To simply keep adding more fat, without adding eating proper amounts of protein, will leave you spinning your tires.
1. It’s more than ok to prioritize protein on a carnivore diet. This way of high protein, moderate fat has allowed me to stay so consistent over the past couple of years. Helps with my satiety and easy to maintain my body composition. I don’t eat until stuffed, I am aware of how much protein to fat I need for maintenance. It’s ok to track and understand this if you need to.
2. When we make a blanket statement as to just add more butter, we are not taking into account if we are undereating protein, maybe fasting too long, or not including enough salt or electrolytes.
Eating a carnivore diet should not mean following a set of rules that may not apply to you, and failing because you didn’t individualize it. Take the time, find what works, I do believe this way of eating has been instrumental in making me feel as good as I do at this age. I want everyone else to be able to have the same outcome! God bless
Carnivore not working for you? Take the time, figure what can be looked at and tweaked to see if it can make a difference. It is not a cookie cutter diet and needs to be more specific based on you as an individual!
I will stick to my meat and eggs to fill me up, and give me proper nutrients to nourish my body, muscles and brain. If only more people understood the power of protein and how similar it is in its effects compared to the popular injections so many are relying on.
Eating protein causes your gut to produce satiety hormones, including GLP-1 and PYY, which signal fullness to your brain. Protein lowers ghrelin, the primary hormone that stimulates your appetite. Protein takes longer to digest, keeping you full and satisfied for a longer period between meals. All this with no side effects! God bless

I don’t track my food, however, I can tell you a very detailed list of what I eat and approximately how much I am. If you don’t have any history or hormone or thyroid issues or underlying autoimmune disorders, we can almost be our own detectives at pinpointing where we may be going astray. Problem is, not every one wants to put the time into doing this. Carnivore is viewed as simply eat all you want, fat and all and you will lose weight. That’s fantastic if it works for you, however, majority of us, it doesn’t. Carnivore is the most effective way of eating for me in terms of calming my issues and creating the most satiety so it’s by far the easiest way for me to stay on track and eat. That being said, I am still very mindful about what I am eating. This is such an amazing way of eating, I don’t want us to get discouraged if things to seem to be working. Let’s figure it out😊. God bless
This is Gary Brecka. He is making known that dementia and Alzheimer’s are type 3 diabetes, a metabolic disorder. These diseases are diet related. This topic hits close to home for because I’ve lost loved ones due to this horrible disease. The more education and recognition we give to this topic , the more changes we can make together. It doesn’t have to end a certain way, use the tools now to prevent future disease. God bless
I eat 2 meals a day… however, my background was eating a ketogenic diet in which I was eating 2 meals a day for years. By forcing a fasting window, we can undereat protein which can lead to issues down the road, or simply just not eating enough calories which we can’t sustain for too long. This is not a sprint but marathon. Take the time to implement strategies that will work day after day, week and week, month after month! God bless
Fat is vital, no contest on my part to that fact. However, simply increasing how much we eat if we are already consuming enough for brain and hormonal health and is specific to your body composition is not always the answer. There can be a tendency to undermine the role of salt, electrolytes and protein in this way of eating. Carnivore is not a cookie cutter diet and doesn’t have specific rules that we all need to follow for success. Take the time to understand what your body needs to thrive. God bless
