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
