Carnivore

How long have you been keto/carnivore?

I started on September 16, 2023

Describe what a Typical Day of Eating Looks like for you.

My wife and I typically enjoy one to two meals each day, usually between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

First Meal:
During our first meal, we often opt for a hearty selection that may include eggs, bacon, hamburgers, and sausage. This provides a satisfying and diverse blend of flavors and nutrients to start the day.

Second Meal:
Our second meal generally consists of a protein-rich dish, such as beef, pork, chicken, or fish. This helps us maintain a balanced and fulfilling diet throughout the day.

Snacks:
Our snacks may include homemade deviled eggs and beef jerky.

We rarely experience hunger.

Your Keto/Carnivore Story

My personal journey towards health and wellness has been nothing short of remarkable. Despite being an athlete, I experienced weight gain over the years, reaching a high of 330 lbs. As a veteran within the Veterans Administration health system, I sought various methods to improve my health, including considering gastric bypass surgery and weight loss drugs. However, I found that traditional approaches like calorie counting and increased physical activity were ineffective for me. My health continued to deteriorate, with high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, and chronic inflammation.

It was my wife, Deborah, who became the catalyst for change. Together, we embraced the Carnivore way of eating, and I also utilized hypnosis to focus on my eating habits. The results were astonishing. Within a short period, I shed over 15 lbs. and experienced significant improvements in my health. My blood pressure stabilized, inflammation decreased, and my energy levels soared. As of February 28, 2024, I have successfully reduced my weight to 249 lbs., a remarkable 81 lb. transformation in just 169 days.

What is the best (or top 3) pieces of advice you could give someone starting their keto/carnivore health journey?

1. Establish what it is that you want to accomplish
2. Get the six inches between your ears on board
3. Become militant in your approach for the first 60 days.
