How it’s going with my Carnivore progress. A little over a year can make a big difference! Not only body composition/weight loss, but overall physical and mental health. Before pic was 3.5 months after starting.

Every 8-9 weeks I get my hair done, each time (over the last 11 months) my hair stylist says some variation of “Girl, you look great, you’re shrinking!” It’s humbling when people who’ve known you for yrs notice the weight loss transformation & aren’t afraid to mention it 💗
At 42 I was obese & uncomfortable in my own skin. Hated getting my photo taken. I wore oversized hoodies to hide my belly. (See pinned pic on my profile) Desperate to lose weight & feel better. I did research, followed Dr recommendations, nothing worked. At 44, I’ve lost the

This is carnivore. One my biggest visual NSV’s! Left pic is 5 months in & current pic is 1 year later. This bikini is from my honeymoon in Feb 2010! 👙

This pic is 1 year ago, about 5 months into carnivore & some fasting. I was thrilled to weigh 157 lbs, (Starting wt 197 lbs). At that time my goal was 150 lbs. I was over the moon to be wearing smaller clothes, which meant more to me than any number on the scale! Always.

Aug ‘22 and Sept ‘23 My body comp has changed so much! (Even better than when I weighed less than I do now) I’m still getting used to seeing collar bones and much less of a belly! I came for the weight loss and ended up healing my health more than I could have imagined!
One year apart, lots of inflammation gone! Even my nose looked inflamed, which apparently is a real thing. Who would have known? I can comfortably wear my hiking boots, no more foot and ankle swelling! 🥾 So many benefits, I am blessed!

Age 30 vs age 44. I was doing South Beach diet. A lot of bacon, eggs & dairy. It went down hill once I started incorporating other foods back in, of course. Bacon & eggs were “dangerous”. I felt too guilty eating a package of bacon for lunch. But what I learned from that diet
On the left was 4 months into my journey. At that point, I had already lost a lot of body fat/inches. But when I came across the older pic, the difference in body composition stopped me in my tracks and I wanted to share!

I don’t cry easily, but I teared up seeing this, just thinking about how changing my diet & mindset has changed my life dramatically, in a short amount of time. No more hiding behind cardigans!

My daughter took this before pic…She said I looked like a donut. She was right! It makes me cringe seeing it now. But I’m happy about how far I’ve come! I refuse to give up on myself. I personally had to try again over and over until I figured out what worked best for me. Just
Less than 4 months between these photos!! I went from trying to hide under huge hoodies & leggings to fun fitted shirts & jeans! My daughter doesn’t ask me if there’s a baby in my tummy anymore. Health issues were starting to resolve at that point. Now I’m over a year into this
After 10 months of carnivore, my hair stylist finally reports I’m not losing hair anymore (other than normal shedding)! Pleased to see yet another benefit of this lifestyle. Now let’s see if it will thicken back up! 🤞🙏🏼
For a number of yrs I wore long shirts and cardigans to cover up all the extra weight that I didn’t carry well. New Spring shorter shirt I got a month ago was still a bit small then, but fits now! 😍 I have lost 10.5” around the middle. The hardest part has been the love handles!
Just did the math and I’ve lost 70lbs! Unbelievable! And humbling. No wonder I continue adding more clothes to the donate pile! How much have you lost?
LAST pair of jeans that fit after taking these out of the “too small” pile. I haven’t fit into them since my mid 30’s. (44 now) I truly didn’t think I’d get here and so blessed by the support I have received in this community. Couldn’t have done it without the encouragement &

In celebration of World Obesity Day, I’m rejoicing that I’m not obese anymore! It’s never too late! I’m inspired every single day by those working to reverse obesity 🙌

Body composition has changed rapidly! I’m down 43lbs since June 2022, lost 10” around my waist. Regrettably didn’t measure anything else. Carnivore since July 7th, 2022.

Story time: Last time I donated blood they got a little irritated w/ me because I didn’t want the snacks they offered afterwards. Literally nothing healthy. I had brought my own & they said I needed carbs. Negative! This morning I’m bringing hard boiled eggs w/salt & fresh butter
Shopping for jeans has never been so fun and not stressful anymore! I went to a 2nd hand store and got 3 pairs of American Eagle jeans for $35! These and 1 other pair are size 6!!! The 3rd pair is a size 4 (Will be fitting me soon). I haven’t been in this size for 20+ years!!! It

$8 off/package on ribeyes at Sam’s! They said no limit and I was totally out. 🤷♀️😍 I do have a hook up for grass-fed local beef, but for now these are my favorites, especially when on sale!! Thankfully I have a freezer for meat.

Trying on clothes is a little more fun now! I got this shirt for a trip and didn’t end up packing it. But I’m currently planning some trips. One downside of carnivore is needing to replace all of my clothes...I’ll take it!!
This morning I was down to my lowest wt in 7 yrs. 45.6 lbs gone in 8 months of carnivore. More importantly medium shirts are fitting great, with extra room around the middle. 90% diet/lifestyle + some wt lifting more recently.

You were my inspiration for getting educated & comfortable enough to switch to the carnivore lifestyle! You helped save my physical & mental health. Thanks for taking the time to let me introduce myself back in February

Grateful for no thanksgiving food/drink hangovers!! I ate as planned and feel good. Happy Friday!!
Really starting to see and feel the changes in my body since going carnivore. I have to say I feel better than I’ve felt in years, even back when I was young, skinny and not eating the way I am now! My mental health is better after years of medications. I am 43 yrs old & started

Real issues prior to carnivore lifestyle:

Obesity
Migraines
Heartburn
Inflammation
Poor digestion
Aches & pains
Muscle injuries
Hating my body
Emotional eating
Insulin resistance
Getting sick often
Carb/sugar
Meal prep is so easy! No more long grocery lists, recipes w/25 ingredients, a bunch of bowls, measuring spoons, casserole dishes, etc. No more spoiled produce getting thrown away b/c it didn’t get used soon enough. I love the simple carnivore way of living! I have time for other
6 yr old wanted to know what’s for breakfast. I suggested an omelette w/ ham & cheese. She said: “Make sure you don’t put any eggs in” 🤣 She’s mostly been refusing eggs for awhile now. So I made the omelette thinking it wasn’t going to go over well. As she’s enjoying it, she
Frozen {heavy cream, egg yolks, salt} I love it!! 🎉 Call it what you want: Ice cream/frozen custard. I love the texture! Great in coffee too, for a treat! Recipe ➡️Heat 3 cups cream, almost until boil. Add a little salt. Let cool 10 minutes, whisk in 6 egg yolks, freeze.
Dave is encouraging us to share before and afters. Mine’s more of a before and “during”, I need an updated pic. Dave is such an inspiration and I’m grateful to have been along to witness his transformation. Keep up the great work, Dave!!

This is not the way to keto. Been there done that in the past with “keto” food-like products. No wonder I still felt awful and couldn’t lose weight! Look at the ingredients!! 👀

Earlier this month, I had someone on Twitter say to me: “Humans ain’t carnivores. That diet will f^ck you up.” Nailed it! I’m healthier in all aspects (physically & mentally). Oh and hey…I happen to look better too. Win-win! I’m eating the way it was intended. Do your research
