Cary talks about his journey on the carnivore diet.

Title: What Happened When I Quietly Tried Carnivore
• Discovery & Motivation
- Learned about carnivore after following low-carb voices (mentions discovering it through a creator named “Butter Bob”).
- Decided to try it quietly without announcing it widely.
• Start & Approach
- Began earlier this year; kept it simple and consistent.
- Focused on meat (especially beef), eggs, and butter; minimized/avoided carbs.
- Typically 1–2 meals per day based on satiety.
• Early Effects
- Rapid changes: clearer thinking, reduced brain fog, noticeable body recomposition.
- Marked drop in hunger and food preoccupation; felt satisfied after meals.
• Ongoing Results
- Continued weight loss and visible leanness (“abs are made in the kitchen” theme).
- Improved overall energy; exercise felt easier (already an active runner).
- Noted insulin control as central to weight and health improvements.
• Daily Eating Details
- Prefers simple, repeatable meals (beef cuts; often mentions chuck eye/ribeye).
- Frequently includes butter; eggs are a staple.
- Eats to satiety, doesn’t force snacks between meals.
• Social & Family Dynamics
- Kept diet mostly private; tells close family because of shared meals.
- Comfortable with others eating differently; cooks separately when needed.
- Brings her own food to social events to stay on track.
• Mindset & Lessons
- Simplicity helps adherence; fewer decisions, less time thinking about food.
- Respect for individual choice: “eat the way that keeps you healthy.”
- Emphasis on consistency over perfection.

I mirror Cary’s observation - I’m never hungry in the morning. Sometimes it is easier to just eat some plants at a social function rather then being clean… but that is one way I fell off the wagon, so I would consider that ability to be a special skill.
At 15:00 they talk about the isolation of eating differently then your friends… I feel that. Food is like politics best not discussed at dinner, heh
