Calling the carnivores among us

[FordkuGK]

I've been chatting with my uncle over Christmas, who has been on a carnivore diet since February, with good results (lost a decent chunk of weight, lot less issues with inflammation etc.)

I have played with the idea of giving it a try myself, and so have looked a bit round the web, with mixed results. Lot of "no this is terrible because muh-veggies" but also a fair amount of actual useful info.

So, who here has given it a try, and what were/are your experiences?

This spring I decided I would not become a fat fuck in my 50’s. Cut out almost all sugar and 90% of carbs. As much protein and fat as I want. I like vegetables so they are in there too. I drink a lot of water.

I tried the carnivore diet for three months, dropped 15 lb, felt steadier energy, but hit constipation and missed electrolytes, so I added a pinch of salt and magnesium. Mood was sharper, but social meals got awkward. If you need a break from cooking, I’ve used a meal‑prep service and saw the hygiene warning here https://www.reddit.com/r/mealprep/comments/1p5evjd/today_i_found_out_frive_has_a_hygiene_rating_of_1/ and switched to a safer option.
