How does fasting help with fat loss? Fasting for weight loss can be a great tool to shed pounds, but knowing what happens in your body when you're not eating is essential. When food is withheld from the body, the body is forced to use its energy stores as fuel. Fat is broken down and used as an energy source, which helps reduce overall fat stores in the body. Fasting also causes the body to start burning fat for energy more quickly. This process usually takes place around 12 hours into fasting; however, it can happen earlier or later depending on how lean you are and how often you practice fasting. Intermittent fasting Intermittent fasting is a form of dieting in which you fast for short periods and then eat normally. It's become popular recently, with celebrities like Hugh Jackman touting its benefits. There are several different ways to do intermittent fasting: Fat fasting The fat-fasting diet is similar to the ketogenic diet because it’s high in fat and involves eating no protein or carbs. It has many of the same benefits as a keto diet—namely, weight loss and improved health—but with less hunger and no need to limit your fat intake. Prolonged fasting Prolonged fasting can sometimes be beneficial for weight loss plateaus. If you're struggling with plateauing on your diet and exercise plan, consider adding a longer fast of 24 hours or more once or twice weekly. The key here is not to make it last forever but rather give your body a break from constantly eating while still being able to get the nutrients it needs since the body naturally starts using up fat stores when food isn't consumed for long enough periods of time (more than 24 hours). For most people, intermittent fasting is the easiest method to lose weight. It’s also one of the more effective ways to do it. Fasting allows you to eat fewer calories throughout the day and still achieve a healthy weight loss goal—without having to count calories or worry about restricting yourself from certain foods. While fasting may not be suitable for everyone, it’s worth trying if you have struggled with weight loss or are looking for an easy way to kick off a new fitness regime.

Why you're not losing fat on a Carnivore Diet? The carnivore diet is not a weight-loss or fat-loss diet. It’s actually a nutrient-dense, high-fat, low-carb lifestyle that supports your body to burn fat as the main fuel source. To be clear: If you are eating a carnivore diet and still think you need to lose weight—stop worrying about it! You will not lose weight on this diet unless you have some other underlying medical condition that affects your hormones and metabolism. The only way for anyone to lose any significant amount of body fat is for their body to be able to use stored energy (fat) as its primary fuel source instead of relying on glucose from carbohydrates in foods like bread, pasta and potatoes. This metabolic state is often referred to as ‘ketosis’ because the production of ketones increases when the body switches from burning carbs for energy (glucose) which results in an increased rate of fat mobilization/burning while at rest (and during exercise). Why just fat loss isn't the goal The carnivore diet is not a weight loss plan.  The goal isn't to just lose weight; it's to have lean muscle mass and healthy organs. The goal isn't just primarily health; it's optimal performance in life, including activity levels! It may seem counterintuitive because most people equate leanness with good health, but what matters most is how well we function as humans rather than how low our BMI (body mass index) is or how much visceral belly fat we have. Why being fat-adapted is more important If you’re a meat eater, then going on a Carnivore Diet may be the easiest way to achieve fat adaptation. This is because it allows you to eat as much meat as your heart desires without taking in any carbs and sugars at all. If you are trying to lose weight on this diet, I have some news: being “fat-adapted” is more important than losing fat (and it can prevent you from gaining muscle).  Get 24/7 community support to achieve your fat loss, health and Carnivore goals.

Fat (especially butter) is the new superfood. It's not just good for your brain but also for your ovaries. The right kind of fat can even help women with PCOS and infertility. PCOS and infertility can be caused by a high-sugar diet. For women with PCOS, insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Women with PCOS have high levels of insulin in their bodies, which can cause infertility and many other health problems. This is because when you have a lot of insulin in your body, it stops the ovaries from releasing an egg each month and can cause cysts to form on your ovaries. Fat regulates female reproductive hormones Fat regulates the female reproductive hormones that can cause ovulation and fertility issues in women with PCOS. Fat is important for fertility because it helps to regulate: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Estrogen, and Progesterone. High-fat carnivore cures many women's health disorders  It may seem strange to think of a high-fat carnivore diet as a potential cure for PCOS and infertility, but it’s not so unusual if you consider the underlying causes. In most cases, PCOS is caused by inflammation in your body. This inflammation can be caused by a variety of factors including stress, poor gut health and food allergies. Eating a high-fat diet will help reduce this inflammation because fat is anti-inflammatory. Similarly with infertility: Infertility is often due to endometrial scarring from excessive estrogen, an egg quality problem like cysts on your ovaries, or poor egg quality due to insulin resistance (which is common in women with PCOS). High-fat diets have been shown in multiple studies to improve ovulatory function and egg quality by reducing these factors in both animals and humans So, to answer the question “Are fats good for PCOS and infertility?”—Yes! Yes, they are. High-fat diets are an effective treatment for PCOS, infertility, and other health disorders. They can help regulate female reproductive hormones, which can lead to better fertility and ovulation in women with these conditions. And there’s no need for calorie counting or portion control—simply eat high-quality animal foods until you feel full! Get 24/7 community support to achieve your fat loss, health and Carnivore goals.

I interviewed 50 Carnivore experts in 2022. The stars of this year were Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Anthony Chaffee, Kelly Hogan, and Dr Elisabeth Bright, and wow... I learnt a lot! There were many surprises, but the most startling of all was how much I learned about the importance of fat. The experts were adamant that we should be eating more fat, especially saturated fats like butter and ghee. They argued that this is what makes us human and it's what our bodies need to thrive. They said that fatty meat is so important—and fruit and nut consumption should be minimized because they're toxic (at least in large quantities). The experts also told me why fasting doesn't work: it causes a loss of muscle protein which slows down your metabolism by around 10% per day (compared with if you didn't fast). This can result in weight gain over time so it's not recommended unless you want to lose weight very slowly over months or years! It seems obvious now but I didn't know this before talking with these experts. And there's so much evidence for Carnivore If you're considering Carnivore, there's a lot of evidence backing it up. Here are some things that the experts told me: Carnivore is great for weight loss. One study found that people on a carnivorous diet lost an average of 15 pounds in eight weeks—and most participants were able to keep the fat off after they switched to a vegetarian or omnivorous diet again. Another study found that eating meat was more effective than other diets at reducing body mass index (BMI), even without exercise. Carnivore is good for your mental health, too! A third study found that people who ate more meat had better moods and higher self-esteem compared with those who ate fewer animal products, while another showed how beneficial it can be for those suffering from depression or anxiety. People on carnivorous diets also reported improved physical health outcomes like lower cholesterol levels and triglyceride counts, as well as reduced inflammation markers like C-reactive protein (CRP).

Many women can use Carnivore to sail through menopause. Dr Lisa Wiedeman has followed a high-fat Carnivore Diet to heal her hormones with no menopausal symptoms, she has also improved her libido, sleep and so much more! Carnivore Helps with Menopause A carnivore diet is an all-meat diet, where the only foods eaten are meat and the fat that comes with it. While this sounds like a drastic change from your current eating habits, it may be helpful to consider making this change during menopause. Menopausal symptoms include hot flashes and night sweats as well as insomnia and restlessness. By eliminating carbohydrates from your diet, you can reduce or eliminate these symptoms. Carnivore also helps with hormones because they feed off of protein which will help stabilize them and balance out the estrogen in your body thus decreasing irritability and mood swings associated with menopause. Why Fat is Important It’s no secret that fat is an essential nutrient for humans. As you may have learned in school, fat is an energy source and essential for hormone production. It keeps us warm; it helps us absorb vitamins A, D, E and K; it provides cushioning for our organs; it even helps keep our skin supple and smooth!

Mona Vand was a 7-year vegan and destroyed her gut health by eating vegetables and grains. Vegetables destroy your gut health Plants have anti-nutrients. They cause leaky gut and IBS. They contain antinutrients like oxalates, lectins and phytates. That means that they have a negative effect on our bodies in the long term by damaging the digestive system and your gut.  The most common problem caused by plants is a leaky gut syndrome (LGS), SIBO and dysbiosis. Animals are the most nutrient-dense foods on earth An animal-based diet contains all the essential nutrients humans need to thrive like B vitamins, zinc, choline, and iron. The problem with a vegan diet extends far more than just eating plants. The ideology is problematic and causes problems with our hormones, the brain and the gut microbiome. Dr Mona Vand has introduced some meat into her diet and is following a loosely based keto or carnivore diet, with exceptional results.

Paul Saladino's carnivore diet is wrong Fruit contains a lot of sugar, which means it triggers your body’s reward system, making you feel pleasure. The problem is that the sweetness of fruit isn't from nature—it comes from sugar, which we're told causes us to gain weight and increases our risk for diabetes and heart disease. Fruit contains fructose which is toxic It's a good idea to avoid fruit. Fruit contains fructose which is toxic to the liver and kidneys. Fructose is a simple sugar that isn't essential for the body and actually causes insulin resistance in some people, leading to obesity and diabetes. In addition, fructose has been linked to heart disease and cancer. Carnivore Camaraderie debates Paul Saladino's meat and fruit diet Paul Saladino is a controversial figure. While some see him as an inspirational figure, others have accused him of promoting a dangerous diet. Joey, the Carnivore Camaraderie debates Paul's diet, saying it's deadly for our health. For many Carnivores, fruit is not an essential part of the diet. Especially if you are sedentary or have diabetes, overweight, fruit should not be included in your diet.

Carnivore Diet heals inflammation and disease The carnivore diet is the only diet that reverses glaucoma. It heals inflammation, and it does this by reversing disease. The only way to reverse a disease is by removing its cause, which must be done before any lasting results can be realized. A complete reversal of glaucoma requires removing all grains and legumes from your diet, as well as all other plant foods including leafy greens (kale, spinach etc), root vegetables (potatoes) and tubers (sweet potato).  Carnivore Diet cures glaucoma and more eye diseases The carnivore diet can cure glaucoma, as well as macular degeneration, cataract and dry eyes.  Glaucoma is a disease of the eye where fluid pressure builds up in the eye, damaging your optic nerve and causing vision loss. Your optic nerve connects your retina to your brain, so it can be thought of as similar to a phone line connecting two cities together (your retina is like one city, while your brain is another). The “wires” that connect these two are called neurons; when they get damaged by an increase in fluid pressure within the eyeball (which happens with glaucoma), it causes cell death and blindness.  Dr Lisa Wiedeman is a strong advocate of an all-meat diet to cure eye disease as well as joint pain, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. The carnivore diet is one of the most powerful healing diets in the world, with many people reporting that they’ve been cured of diseases like glaucoma after switching to this lifestyle. With so much information out there on this subject, it can be difficult to determine what works and what doesn’t. We hope that this article has given you some insight into how a carnivorous lifestyle can help heal eye diseases like glaucoma and dry eyes.

Why are you supposed to eat more butter?  Because it's good for you! Not only is it full of essential vitamins and minerals, but it also contains a lot of fat—and we all know that fat is good for the body. Butter has been demonized in recent years, but this isn't something new. Back in the 1960s and 70s, heart disease was seen as something most people could avoid by avoiding saturated fats like butter (and eating more carbohydrates). However, recent studies have shown that saturated fats actually don't raise cholesterol levels or cause heart disease—and they may even be beneficial for your health! So how much should you eat?  Dr Elisabeth Bright recommends 1 stick of butter a day, which is 112g or 8 tablespoons, spread out over 3-4 meals during the day. You can try a fatty latte, brown butter bites and add butter to your fatty meats. High Fat Carnivore has so many benefits It's a great way to lose fat. If you're on a high-fat carnivore diet, you're bound to lose weight because it's so much easier for your body to burn fat than it is for it to store it. This is especially true if you're eating lots of healthy fats and animal products with no carbohydrates or sugars in them—the kind of foods that Dr. Shawn Baker recommends for his high-fat carnivore diet plan. By eating this way, he says: "You'll never feel hungry." Dr Elisabeth Bright also suggests high fat Carnivore will improve: Libido Mental clarity Depression and anxiety Menopause symptoms Lower cortisol Improve sleep patterns If you're looking to try out a new diet or just want to be healthy, I would highly recommend High Fat Carnivore. It's easy and delicious, plus it has tons of benefits! The best part about this diet is that it doesn't require any fancy ingredients or expensive supplements - just some good old-fashioned butter and fatty meat!
