I am surprised at the number of downvotes on the OP. I expect to see that on the OT board, but not here. Dude is offering logical information from his own experience and research.

Unfortunately this is one of those "against the grain" situations. If you know, you know.

If you have tried the carnivore diet, seriously and faithfully, you know for a fact the it'll clear up all kinds of chronic issues.

The carnivore diet is tough. No carbs is tough. I do the carnivore/no carbs diet periodically and the results are simply impressive. Always.

Anecdotal, maybe, but my personal experience:
Completely off blood pressure meds (after 10 years daily RX)
Fall asleep quickly, sleep soundly and wake up refreshed EVERY DAY.
Completely cleared up dry skin/eczema I had dealt with for years.
And very surprisingly, my tinnitus I've had since I was in my 20 cleared up completely.

guy cuts out full macro causing him to eat less calories which in turn causes him lose weight

losing weight along with eating nothing but whole nutrient dense foods allows him to get off meds

immediately jumps on the internet to demonize the macro he cut out


never did he weigh or track foods to see how many calories he was taking in

never did he try and cut out processed foods that may have been causing inflammation or hell any food at all

instead its a whole macronutrients fault

maybe because people here actually can read and understand studies, understand the process that are happening down to a cellular level and maybe, just maybe most people here understand that keto/carnivore and other very low carb approaches are just like other approaches, like intermittent fasting, in that they are just strategies to control calories

because once calories and protein are equated, you get the same out comes when it comes to weight loss

because you lost weight and started eating whole foods instead of processed garbage. you lost weight because you ate less calories and more protein. if you would have kept your calories the same level, protein the same but ate leaner cuts and added in fruits and veggies that actually agreed with you, along with white rice and potatoes....then you would have had same results body fat loss wise and prolly better workouts and more strength

carbs prolly effect your sleep pattern, they dont everyone. when you add them back, try having a carb cutoff of noon

a food you were eating regularly before was causing this. not the macro, but a specific food or group of foods was

again inflammation and fat loss



nobody here is against VLC diets in any form. hell i use carnivore and PSMF diets all the time and intermittent fasting too.

but I happen to be smart enough to understand they are just strategies to control overall calories while hitting my protein goal and not the underlying reason i am losing bodyfat at the time.

you are not a special snowflake whose bodies just disregards the laws of thermodynamics.
