That's because #Carnivore, which has been elevated to a religious level, actually presents real challenges to our biology:

1. High protein to moderate fat carnivore will not allow for weight loss. Folks need to reduce protein and increase fat. 80:20, or 90:10 should do it. This will convince the body to burn fat stores. Protein is extremly sating/taxing above bodily need, which has the effect of preventing this.

2. The kidney's rely on insulin signalling for mineral retention. This is why milk and orange juice are more hydrating than water. Carnivore folks need massive amounts of extra minerals because their body doesn't hold onto them well. Also why constipation is a common theme.

3. The thyroid requires sugar and cholesterol to and will not signal abundance to your body without them. A lack of either will act as a drag on sex hormones and elevate cortisol. Long term carnivore folks have chronically elevated cortisol, which makes it tricky to become lean, especially around the mid section. Also note the weathered, loose skin and balding in this camp.

4. Many resort to intermittent fasting to make up for the above, which unfortunately tends to be stressful when done chronically. This makes the above issue become more entrenched as the metabolism and energy production down regulates to adapt.

Unfortunately, while carnivore eliminates so many stressors of modern food stuffs, it also introduces stressors of it's own by denying the body sugar.
