Carnivore Is Not for Weight Loss

Eat Meat + Question Everything

Show Notes

Most people start carnivore for one reason: weight loss. I did too. After losing nearly 60 pounds, I realized that wasn’t the biggest benefit. The real shifts were happening mentally, emotionally, and physically — and they had nothing to do with the scale. In this episode, we talk about: • Why focusing only on weight loss might be the wrong goal • The non-scale victories no one talks about • Mental health shifts and intrusive thoughts • Inflammation and joint pain • Skin changes • Food noise and sugar cravings • Moderation vs strict carnivore • Gym performance and carbs

If you’re only looking at the scale, you might be missing what actually makes this sustainable. Be honest — did you start carnivore for weight loss? What made you stay?
