Still waiting for the vaccine for the epidemic of fat, sick, and nearly dead?
Ask your doctor about carnivore.
Or just do like I did almost 2 months ago and change your life yourself. I have a good direct primary care doc, I'll let them know eventually.

How much would you estimate you spend per week on meat?
I eat mostly hamburger at around $4/lb. I love good smashburgers. I also eat some mild cheese at around the same cost per pound as well as some other meats, some eggs, and an occasional avocado or guacamole.
So I'm spending maybe $60/ week. I am a fairly big guy and fairly physically active.
$60 a week isn’t bad. Since I started #75Hard I’ve been toying with the idea of going #carnivore or #nocarbs. Your info is helpful. Thanks!
It's probably less than the typical person spends on food if you count snacks and fast food.
On the other hand, if you are getting beans and rice in 50 lb bags, it is a LOT more.
I do add a good sea salt liberally.
Yes sir, that’s what I did, carnivore. Also I left the insurance companies and joined Crowd Health.

Carnivore is an awesome way to re-establish your health. I did 30 days about a year and a half ago, and dropped 20# that month. I've since reverted to #Keto and the weight still keeps dropping, though at a steady pace.
Honestly, I could live the carnivore life, but my wife is doing Keto for cancer treatment, and being the great cook she is, makes some excellent side dishes that I have to have some of!
Since her diagnosis and starting Keto, she's dropped 50# and is off all her prescription drugs for cholitis and reflux.
Diet is #health
Awesome! As long as you avoid any food intolerances, and 30 day carnivore would have functioned as an elimination diet, lots of people do really well on clean keto, with similar results as carnivore!
I lost about 15lbs and gained a good bit of muscle with absolutely no fasting or calorie restriction and maintaining the same work routine. However, I am more active at home because I am more energetic.
When I started carnivore, I ate until full 2 meals a day, from 12pm until 7pm. So, was doing intermittent fasting. I had no trouble with hunger at all, and often wasn't hungry enough to eat dinner so would end up doing OMAD (one meal a day). Not by intention, but just because I didn't want to eat just to eat. That was part of the process for me to change my habits.
Every now and then I'll still eat a big lunch and skip dinner for the same reason.
Now, as part of my wife's cancer treatment, we have included fasting into our program, often for 3 days at a time. This has been a great challenge for mastering hunger and the psychology of eating. When researching fasting, we've discovered so many benefits to doing short term, extended fasting. I highly encourage everyone to at least look into it.
Lots of people combine various forms of fasting with great results. Myself I do not recommend it during the first three weeks of carnivore or keto since there are so many other changes going on. On the contrary with carnivore, I suggest considering eating as much and often as reasonably possible in the first few weeks to avoid cravings and low energy from not eating enough. I'm seven weeks in and eating somewhat less often, but I don't think I'm past the insulin resistance or completely fat adapted yet. Personally I probably won't try anything beyond accidental/incidental intermittent fasting until then. At this point I don't expect that to happen before the 3-month mark, possibly a good bit later. Granted if I were working towards different goals I might look at it very differently. Either way I'm still learning, both by observing others and my own self.
Yeah, I normally didn't eat breakfast before, just had a great coffee with heavy cream and sometimes a little butter. Then when I started carnivore, I just found myself eating later and later. I ate A LOT at lunch, but usually didn't start eating until after 12. Then that second meal was either hit or miss depending on how hungry I was. I knew I didn't really want to eat much late at night, so often would just put it off until the next day.
Then I'd often not feel hungry until later in the morning/early afternoon. Eating carnivore helps you understand eating instinctually, and not just cramming food all day long. I don't do "exercise", but am relatively active throughout the day. Those with higher energy outputs may have differing needs.
I do agree that you should make changes one step at a time and learn how those things are affecting you.

They have that now, it’s called Ozempic. You have to stay on it for the rest of your life. Our you could just take responsibility for what you’ve done to yourself, either way
I like cheese too much lol
Lots of people on carnivore eat cheese and eggs. Some will only eat aged cheese, myself I seem to actually do better on mild cheese. The only caveats are that you might not lose weight as fast with cheese, and if you have a food intolerance to milk products or eggs you won't see the results you were hoping for.
Ok got it. Sounds more like keto. I’m keto-lite at this point.
Carnivore can be a keto diet if you eat enough fat, as you probably should, IMO. It is, IMO the easiest and arguably the cleanest of the keto diets.
There is nothing wrong with easing into it slowly or eating a diet that leans that way, but if you are looking for metabolic healing as I am, you can't expect to get say 75% of the benefits when you are eating, say, 75% less sugar or 75% keto, IMO.
One thing I did prior before I was planning to go carnivore, was to take berberine. I must have been on it for 4 to 6 months and lost a modest amount of weight with no other changes. Personally, I think that helped ease my transition to carnivore.
OK got it. Thanks for sharing these insights! I have not heard of berberine before, but I’m going to look into it
